2025-02-25 14:34:36Robin sneered, didn’t even blink.
Then— The door swung open. A wave of cold authority crashed into the room. Katherine walked in, unbothered and unreadable, her sharp gaze sweeping across the faces in the room. Madeline’s smirk died. Who was this beautiful, stunning lady? Ryder stiffened instantly. “M-Miss Katherine?” His voice trembled. Katherine’s icy gaze locked onto him. “Yes. Is there a problem here?” Robin leaned against the counter, arms crossed, watching as Ryder Flynn, who had been full of arrogance just seconds ago, now trembled. “M- Miss Katherine,” he stammered, his throat bobbing as he swallowed nervously. He knew exactly who Katherine was-the CEO of Eagle Industries, the largest conglomerate in the city. She wasn't just powerful; she was untouchable. Rumors swirled about her influence, not just in the business world but in the military as well. She was second only to the chairman of Eagle Industries, and just a word from her could make or break anyone in this city. One wrong move, and she could shut down his store-or worse, ruin his life. Katherine barely spared him a glance before turning to Robin. “What happened?” Robin sighed dramatically, rubbing his chin. “Well,” he drawled, shooting a look at Madeline and Samantha, “according to them, I’m a stray mutt who picked up a fake black card in the trash. Apparently, I’m also playing pretend and don’t deserve Dragonroot.” Katherine’s expression didn’t change, but the air around her did. “Is that so?” she asked, voice soft. Ryder's face turned the color of curdled milk. “N-no! This is a misunderstanding! I… It's just that I didn't know he was your driver.” My driver? Katherine's face turned frosty, the air around her so cold that it sent shivers down everyone's spine. Then, without warning— SLAP! The crisp impact of her palm against Ryder's face rippled through the store like a gunshot. Gasps echoed. The clerk recoiled in horror. Ryder staggered, clutching his face, eyes wide with shock. A red imprint bloomed across his cheek. Robin’s lips twitched. Damn, she hits hard. “S-Katherine, I—” “You had one job,” Katherine said icily. “And you messed it up by siding with clowns.” Madeline’s face twisted in disbelief. “H-How dare you?! This is outrageous!” Katherine turned to her, looking bored, almost disappointed. “How dare I?” She chuckled. “Sweetheart, I don’t dare—I decide. And I’ve decided that both of you need to shut up.” Madeline opened her mouth to protest, but before she could— The store doors slammed open. A wave of tension rolled in as an older man in a tailored suit rushed inside like a hurricane. His breathing was uneven, as if he had run the entire way. “S-Katherine!” he practically screamed. “I didn’t know you were here!” Ryder flinched like he had been struck again. The color drained from his face. The store’s boss turned on him like a wolf who just smelled blood. “What have you done?” Ryder visibly shrank. “B-Boss, I—” “Shut it,” the boss snapped. “You’re fired. Get out.” “No… no, sir, please! I-I didn’t mean—” “Do I need to repeat myself?” The boss didn’t wait for an answer. He simply motioned to security, who grabbed Ryder like he was nothing more than a sack of garbage and dragged him out the door. Madeline and Samantha stared, frozen in disbelief. “You bitch!” Madeline suddenly blurted. “That herb was meant for the president of the Tozer Group! My to-be son-in-law! He’ll make you pay the price!” Katherine tilted her head. “Oh? Make me pay the price?” Then, she smirked, slow and sharp like a blade. “That's hilarious.” Samantha stomped her foot. “You’ll regret this! You think just because you have some money, you’re untouchable? I bet you’re just another new rich woman who—” The boss’s patience snapped. “Enough. Get out, or I’ll make sure you never step foot in any high-end store again.” Madeline gasped, as if he had slapped her. “You wouldn’t dare!” The boss snorted. “Try me.” Defeated. Humiliated. Powerless. Madeline and Samantha had no choice but to storm out, faces burning with shame. Madeline paced back and forth, her expensive heels clacking against the pavement. “That woman… that cheap, low-class woman! Who does she think she is?!” Samantha, arms crossed, sneered. “She’s probably some rich widow Robin clung to after getting dumped. What a parasite.” Madeline’s lips curled in pure disdain. “We need to fix this before Sarah finds out. Call her.” Samantha hesitated. “You think she’ll care?” Madeline scoffed. “Of course! That herb was for Marcus to gift to the Chairman of Eagle Industries! And Robin… that little pest is still alive, leeching off someone else. We can’t let this slide.” Samantha pulled out her phone, dialing Sarah. The phone rang. “What, Mom?” Madeline’s expression darkened. “Sarah, you won’t believe what just happened! Robin—your useless ex—just humiliated us! He stole the last Dragonroot, and—” “Robin?” Sarah's voice turned sharp as a knife. “Yes! And not just that, he’s got some new rich woman supporting him!” “…He what?” Madeline’s anger grew. “He’s found some new sugar mommy! He’s just a gold-digging cockroach. You dodged a bullet, sweetheart.”

Sarah leaned back against the plush Italian leather, her fingers tracing the rim of her wine glass. "After tomorrow's Eagle Industries anniversary celebration, we'll have time to deal with Robin," she smirked, her voice carrying the arrogance of someone who had never known failure. "Next time he won’t get a chance to live; I’ll make sure dogs eat him.” her voice turned sharp. Madeline’s voice crackled through the phone, her tone laced with doubt. "But what happened at Emerald Apothecary—" Sarah clicked her tongue, irritation flickering in her gaze. That? That was nothing. "One embarrassing incident doesn't change anything," she cut in, inspecting her freshly manicured nails, painted the same shade of blood-red as her ambitions. "Marcus's father has everything under control." The soft sound of approaching footsteps made her lips curl. Right on time. Marcus entered the penthouse, his stride confident, cocky, as if he already owned the city. His expensive suit was slightly loo

“Are you shy?” Sarah laughed. “Don't worry, I won't make things hard for you. Just kneel down, kiss my feet, and then hand over that Dragonroot to me and I'll forgive you.” “Who said I'm here to beg you?” Robin looked at her as if she was a fool. He snapped. “Stand aside!” Sarah was shocked for a moment before bursting out laughing. “Come on! If you're not here to beg me, what else?” “Oh, perhaps you are attending the gala? Do you even have an invitation?” Marcus jeered. “Listen, trash. This is no place for losers like you! Get lost before you embarrass yourself.” “Even if I'm embarrassing myself, what does it have to do with you? We are separated, remember?” Robin arched a brow. “As if we were ever together,” Sarah scoffed. “Anyway, I can't stand losers like you loitering around here. I'm doing Eagle Industries a favor by chasing you away.” “And who are you to do that?” “She?” Marcus grinned, draping a hand over Sarah and pulling her to himself. “She's my lover, whic

At his words, the security guards immediately moved towards Robin. Initially, it was just to send Robin out, but now, they were out to deal with him. Their hands clutched their weapons, their faces full of malice. Seeing this, Marcus and Sarah immediately lit up, their shock long gone. "Do not go easy on him. Make sure he never walks with those legs or uses those hands again!" Sarah said viciously. She had been wanting to deal with Robin. This was it. "Yes! How dare a worthless nobody like him hit one of you? Break his damn legs and hands, and beat him to an inch of his life, then throw him out!" Marcus added, a triumphant smile tugging at the corners of his lips. It was almost as if he could already see Robin groaning outside the premises in pain, his legs and hands broken. "He deserves whatever he gets. How dare a loser like him touch a security guard of Eagle Industries?" one of the guests said. "One should be aware of their own worth. He's really reckless for a nobody," an

This was the regional manager — a man who held immense authority and wielded considerable influence within Eagle Industries. How could he claim the card was the highest-level black card issued by Eagle Industries, and even go as far as bowing and apologizing to Robin? That nobody? Marcus and Sarah were completely shocked. They couldn't believe it. “No… impossible!” Sarah muttered, shaking her head in disbelief. Despite witnessing it firsthand, she refused to accept it. “Manager Slade,” she said, addressing the regional manager directly, “are you sure you’re not making a mistake?” "Yes, Manager Slade." Marcus stepped forward, his voice firm with conviction. “Robin is just a nobody—always has been. How could he possibly own a genuine card like that? This doesn’t add up. I don’t believe it!" The rest of the guests didn't say anything, but their expressions mirrored Marcus and Sarah's doubts. To them, it was either Regional Manager Ethan Slade had mistaken Robin for someone else or mi

Hearing the crowd's words, Marcus’s ego swelled. A pleased smile stretched across his face as he puffed out his chest even more. If there was ever a human equivalent of a peacock, Marcus was the perfect embodiment. Beside him, Sarah’s lips curled into a proud smile. She felt pleased with the man she had chosen. Marcus wasn’t just any man—he was someone so remarkable that others couldn’t help but sing his praises. How could that nobody, Robin, ever measure up? At the thought of Robin, her smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a scowl. She shot him a withering look and sneered, "Do you see that, Robin? This is what a real man looks like! A piece of trash like you could never be compared to Marcus. Don't think just because you somehow got your hands on that card and sneaked in here you're anywhere near his level." Robin's brows furrowed slightly. These two were kicked out, how did they get back in? But he shrugged indifferently. It didn't really matter. Marcus smirke

"General Manager, Katherine?" Liam's words hung in the air like a thunderclap. The air grew thick with tension, and the crowd's eyes widened in shock. The guards immediately lowered their weapons. They couldn't afford to provoke Katherine. "Does he mean General Manager Katherine, the General Manager of Eagle Industries?" someone gasped, his voice a mix of disbelief and awe. "Who else could he be talking about?" another snapped, shooting him a withering glare. Such a foolish question! The room instantly spiraled into a frenzy. Most people knew Katherine by name — the powerful General Manager of Eagle Industries — but few had ever seen her in person. So when she entered, many hadn’t recognized her. But now? The whispers swirled like a storm. "So that's her..." "I never thought I'd see her in person in my lifetime. Now, I can die in peace." "She's even more intimidating than I imagined." "So noisy." Katherine hissed. Instantly, as if someone had pressed a mute button, the room

"What?"Katherine's face turned frosty. She shot Sarah an icy glare. "You dare say it again?"She was on the verge of putting these fools in their place — of revealing that Robin was, in fact, the new chairman — but from the corner of her eye, she caught Robin subtly shaking his head. Her words froze in her throat. Understanding his unspoken request, she swallowed her anger.Marcus immediately grabbed Sarah's arm. "Apologize to General Manager Katherine!""Why should I?" Sarah snapped. "We did nothing wrong!""Sarah!" Marcus's face darkened. They were here to get the proposal approved — the last thing they needed was to provoke the general manager. If she said one word to the chairman, the partnership would be as good as dead. "Apologize now!""I'm not apologizing! For all we know, it might actually be the truth!"SMACK!Without warning, Marcus slapped Sarah across the face. "Why are you being so stubborn? Apologize to her!"Tears stung Sarah's cheeks as she clutched her burning face.

Several minutes later, the door to the CEO's office slowly creaked open, and a pale looking Liam stepped out. He looked completely defeated, his eyes red and puffy, his shoulders slumped. Even the once valiant spark in his gaze had faded, replaced by a hollow, lifeless stare. It was clear what had transpired in the CEO's office had deeply affected him. To put it plainly, it had shattered his worldview, leaving him completely unmoored. What he thought he knew, it turned out he knew nothing at all. The man he had scorned and dismissed as a mere pauper was, in fact, the new chairman and yet, he was so humble. Meanwhile, he, a mere Chief Liaison, had strutted around with his inflated ego, throwing his weightless weight around and acting as though he owned the whole world, even daring to insult the chairman and order for his legs to be broken and for him to be thrown out. Hah! How laughable. With his gaze fixed on the floor, Liam made his way back to the conference hall. Marc

"Haha." Jace let out a mocking laugh, adding, "If you didn't go to college, then how exactly did you learn to be this so-called doctor? Or is it some kind of inborn talent?"He turned to Sheila with a sneer. "Is this really the person you claim saved you? This fool? It’s obvious you’re lying!"Sheila’s face turned red with rage. "Shut up!" she shouted. "You’re the foolish one! So what if he didn’t go to college? Is school the only place to learn medicine? "Aren't there physicians here who never stepped foot in a college or university yet are the best of the best?"Jace chuckled. "No need to insult me—your words don’t faze me." His lips curled into a smirk. "You speak of those physicians, but they were all trained by master physicians. In modern terms, it could be said they were homeschooled. Does your ‘savior’ have one? Should we confirm?" He shot Robin a mocking glance. "Punk, do you have a master? Don’t even think about lying!"All eyes turned to Robin. Even Sheila and her parents

Jace had always resented Sheila, believing that as they were the same age, he—being a man—should be the rightful heir, not her.Now, seeing a chance to humiliate her and prove she wasn’t fit to lead the family?He took it with open arms!Sheila’s smile vanished, her eyes darkening with fury. A sharp hostility radiated from her as she glared at Jace. "Watch your mouth!" she snapped. "You may be my cousin, but I won’t let you insult my savior!"Drake turned to Jace, his gaze cold with disapproval. Though looking at Robin, he also wondered if he was truly the one who saved Sheila, he trusted his darling daughter completely. She would never deceive the family. If she said Robin was the one, then that was the truth.His gaze shifted to his brother—Jace’s father. "Control your son!"The man, who bore a striking resemblance to Drake, merely shrugged. "Come now, brother, my son was only joking. Why are you getting so worked up?" he said nonchalantly. Then, turning to Jace, he added, "Stop st

“What?”The bodyguards and security guards froze in horror, their faces draining of color as if their very souls were being siphoned away.Fired? Just like that?They had served the Dunn family for years, dedicating their loyalty and skills. Never in their wildest dreams did they think Sheila would dismiss them over Robin, of all people. They had just ridiculed, mocked, and told him to get lost. Was it really worth being fired for? Didn't their service all these years mean anything to her?But, looking at her expression, the fury burning in her eyes, they realized she wasn't joking. Their legs gave out, and they dropped to their knees."Miss Dunn, please have mercy!""We were wrong! We sincerely apologize! Please don’t fire us!""Forgive us, please!"Their desperate voices filled the air as they pleaded at the top of their lungs. Being dismissed from the Dunn family wasn’t just about losing a job—it was losing status, security, and a future. If word spread that they had been fired
Chapter 24
The two bodyguards stiffened at Robin’s words, a flicker of unease crossing their faces. If Sheila found out they had turned him away, it could spell trouble—serious trouble. For a brief moment, doubt crept in. Was it worth the risk? But almost as quickly as it came, they shoved the hesitation aside. Today was an important day. Miss Dunn had bigger things to deal with. She wouldn’t waste her time questioning them about some nobody at the gate. Reassuring themselves with that thought, they steeled their expressions, their grips tightening into fists. Their gazes darkened as they glowered at Robin. “Get lost!” they barked in unison, their voices ringing through the air, as if the sheer force of their words could drive him away. Robin chuckled darkly. Since they wanted to play this game, he would see it through to the end. He’d like to see who got the last laugh. Shrugging, he said coolly, “I hope you don’t regret this.” “Hmph!” The bodyguards scoffed. "We never regret anything!
Chapter 23
The bodyguards were stunned to hear that someone was brazen enough to impersonate Miss Dunn’s savior. The Dunn family was part of the Tremendous Five—the wealthiest and most powerful families in the county. Who in their right mind would dig their own grave like this? Amused by the sheer audacity of the claim, they turned to get a look at the fool daring to pull such a stunt. But the moment their eyes landed on Robin, their expressions froze. Recognition struck them like lightning. Even though it had been dark last night, they had been among the closest to him. There was no mistake—he was the one. However, their shock quickly morphed into something else. Disdain flickered in their gazes, a cold gleam settling in their eyes. One of them curled his lips into a mocking smile. “Mr. Savior, didn’t you say last night that you wanted no reward? What brings you here today? Changed your mind? Did your so-called honor vanish overnight?” “Heh.” The other let out a scornful chuckl
Chapter 22
A dark cloud hovered over Robin’s eyes. He had half a mind to smack their arrogant heads together, but in the end, he let the urge pass. These snobbish nobodies weren’t worth his time. Taking a deep breath, he replied coolly, ”I may not have been invited by Sheila, but how do you know I’m not acquainted with her?“ “You—“ Before they could respond, he cut them off dismissively. “Go tell Sheila that the guy who saved her last night is here to see her!“ The guards stiffened in momentary shock. The incident last night had spread like wildfire within the Dunn household—every family member, even the maids, knew about the mysterious man who had saved Miss Dunn. Without him, she would have been violated and killed. She owed him her life. Could this guy be him? Their muscles tensed at the thought. If he was really the one and Miss Dunn found out they had been chastising and ridiculing him and even asked him to get lost, they’d be in deep trouble. But as they took another look at

Katherine's breath hitched, and her expression turned gloomy. Six months. An incurable disease. Was there really nothing that could be done?Robin, however, remained unfazed. Panic was useless. Despair solved nothing. What mattered now was finding a cure.Yet deep down, another thought gnawed at him.Why?Why would his father, a man who had always been in peak health, suddenly contract such an obscure and lethal disease? Thorneau Syndrome was so rare that only a handful of recorded cases existed in the past century, and none had appeared without a known cause.This wasn’t a natural affliction.Was this a mere coincidence… or was there something more sinister at play?Robin’s eyes darkened. If this was deliberate—if someone had done this to his father—they would pay. But for now, all he could do was wait. His father held the answers, but those answers would only come when he woke up.He closed his eyes for a moment, running through every possible treatment in his mind. No ordinary medi

The next morning, Robin was jolted awake by the incessant ringing of his phone. He groaned in displeasure. After saving that heiress last night, he had spent most of the night cultivating. Then, instead of resting, he had immersed himself in studying. The ring had unlocked so many things for him, and after cultivating, he had delved into holistic medicine amongst others. He didn't even know when he dozed off. RING! The phone started ringing again. Robin stretched out a hand, grabbing it from the nightstand. His eyes flicked to the time before checking the caller ID—6 a.m. Why was Katherine calling him this early? Did something happen? Frowning, he quickly swiped to answer. "Young Master, your father has fallen gravely ill—he's on the verge of death!" Katherine’s frantic voice rang through the phone. "He suddenly collapsed, and we’ve tried everything, but he won’t wake up!" Robin shot up, instantly awake. "What?" "Yes, Young Master. We called every doctor we could, but

Robin’s lips twitched slightly. The intruder had just been speaking to Sheila, and now weapons were pointed at him. How did things escalate so fast? Sheila was just as stunned. Her voice rang with authority. "Drop your weapons! He’s my savior! If not for him, those thugs would have raped and killed me! He took them down." She turned to Robin, her expression apologetic. "I’m so sorry. These are my family’s bodyguards. They didn’t know who you are." Robin shrugged indifferently. Meanwhile, the bodyguards exchanged glances, their gazes shifting to the corpses on the ground. They recognized the emblem on the thugs’ shirts. These thugs were members of the Abyssal Dominion. They served the Underground Kingpin—a force to be reckoned with. Even as elites, none of them could claim to take on all these thugs alone. Yet, this ordinary-looking guy, who was completely unknown to them, had somehow managed to kill them all? Still, if Miss Dunn said so, even though they feel she might have exa
