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," another guest added. The rest nodded in agreement, their gazes on Robin filled with disgust and contempt.

Meanwhile, in the face of everything—the guards rushing towards him, the guests, Marcus and Sarah's words, and their gazes on him—Robin didn't react in any way. He just stood there, as if an emotionless statue.

The chaos hadn't gone unnoticed.

"You, punk, you dared hit one of us. What gave you the guts?" As they arrived in front of Robin, one of the security guards asked condescendingly.

Robin ignored him.

He wasn't worthy of a response.

This made the security guard even more furious. How dare this country bumpkin ignore him? He immediately lifted his baton and charged at Robin.

The rest also joined him.

"STOP!"

Just as the batons were an inch from touching Robin, a sudden roar rang out.

The guards immediately froze, their gazes turning towards the owner of the voice. Sarah, Marcus and the rest of the guests also turned to look. One glance, and excitement flickered across their faces.

Things were about to get even more interesting. The new intruder was none other than the lobby manager.

Robin was definitely done for!

"What's going on here?" The lobby manager's voice was cold and sharp. Today was an important day. How could these fools be creating chaos? He was so mad!

The security guard, who Robin had sent flying, said indignantly, "It's that punk, sir!" he pointed at Robin, "he's pretending to have an exclusive invitation card. I tried to calmly ask him out after confirming it was fake but he had the guts to hit me!"

"Haha. That card is surely fake. A brat that I dumped because he had nothing to his name just a few days ago, how could he possibly have an exclusive card of Eagle Industries? Hmph!" Sarah sneered.

"Perhaps, he did all that just to impress us. Haha." Marcus added and chuckled mockingly at Robin. He stared at him. "You must be really scared, right?" He jeered.

Robin didn't say anything. Not worth it.

Meanwhile, the lobby manager's face darkened. He walked over to Robin, his gaze taking him in. Almost immediately, one could see disgust appear on his face.

Clearly, he thought exactly as the rest.

"You said you have an exclusive card?" he asked flatly.

"Yes." Robin also responded flatly, extending the card toward him. "Now, tell me, do you also think my card is fake?"

"I can't believe he's still keeping up this act," Sarah sneered. "He really won't cry blood until he is in the coffin."

"Let him keep pretending, darling," Marcus said, his lips curling into a smirk. "I can't wait to see his face when reality finally hits."

The lobby manager's gaze fell on the card in Robin's hand, and for a split second, his eyes widened, his body stiffening.

Th... That was the exclusive black card issued to Eagle Industries's top executives!

But then, his excitement faded as he took a closer look. Though it resembled the black card, the design was slightly off. He had never seen this version before.

There could only be one explanation...

It was a fake.

His expression darkened instantly. "How dare you try to enter Eagle Industries with a counterfeit card?" he snapped at Robin. "You even assaulted a security guard and had the audacity to ask me that ridiculous question? You truly don't know your place!"

His glare shifted to the guards. "More men! Take him down and throw him out. And get rid of that!" He tossed the card to the floor.

"Yes, sir!" More guards flooded the scene, advancing toward Robin with menace in their eyes.

Robin's eyes narrowed slightly, the ring on his finger churning with barely-contained anger. Still, his face remained impassive.

"Hahaha!" Sarah's voice rang out, dripping with mockery. "Look at you, Robin. Pretending to be something you're not. You must be regretting this now!"

Marcus grinned beside her, clearly savoring the moment.

The guards closed in, their batons raised high, aiming for Robin's vital points. One solid strike and he'd be finished.

"STOP!"

Just as the batons hovered an inch from making contact, a thunderous voice echoed through the room, halting everyone in their tracks. The sheer authority in the shout sent a ripple of tension through the air.

A middle-aged man strode in, his aura commanding, his presence overpowering. The crowd collectively drew a sharp breath.

It was the regional manager!

The boss of the lobby manager!

"Sir...," the lobby manager tried to greet him, only to be cut off—

SMACK!

A blistering slap landed squarely across his face.

"You fool!" the regional manager barked, his face a mask of fury.

Stunned silence fell over the crowd. What was going on? Was the boss seriously striking his own employee?

Weren’t they on the same side?

"W-What did I do, sir?" the lobby manager stammered, clutching his cheek in shock and confusion.

"What didn't you do?" the regional manager shot back, his eyes blazing.

Without wasting another second, he marched over to Robin, pushing away the security guards, and picked up the discarded card in front of him.

Turning to the lobby manager, his voice thundered, "The card you threw on the floor and dismissed as fake—it's the highest-level black card issued by Eagle Industries!"

"What?!"

The lobby manager's jaw dropped. The security guards blinked in disbelief. Sarah, Marcus, and the rest of the guests stood frozen, stunned beyond words.

The highest-level black card?

Belonging to Robin?

Unbelievable!

The regional manager ignored their stunned gazes. Turning to Robin, he bowed reverently. "Sir, I sincerely apologize for this disgraceful incident. The fault lies with me for not training my subordinates properly. Please, I beg your forgiveness.”

    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

    His father’s roar was so loud that Marcus had to pull the phone away from his ear, afraid it might damage his eardrums. Staring down at the screen, his hand trembled slightly, and cold sweat broke out along his back. He had never seen his father this furious before — not once in his entire life. In fact, it was the first time his father had ever shouted at him. But he understood his father’s anger. A lot had been invested to secure this deal. Tears of frustration welled up in his eyes. He wasn’t foolish! Why would he provoke Liam when their family’s future depended on securing the deal? He had done no such thing. Everything was confusing. One minute, he and Liam were chatting happily, and the next, Liam was canceling the deal, cutting ties with him, and sending him out. What had he done wrong? He had no idea! “Dad,” he tried to explain, his voice cracking. But his father cut him off sharply. "I don't know what you've done. I don't care. But you better find a way to fix thing

    "You bitch! Get back here!" the guards roared, chasing after Sarah. "General Manager Katherine! I need to talk to you!" Sarah shouted, picking up her pace. Standing in front of the podium, Katherine's brows knitted in irritation. What could this madwoman possibly want now? Not that it mattered anyway. She had no intention of acknowledging her. If not for Robin’s words back in the CEO's office—his firm command that she take no action against Sarah or Marcus–she would have killed this bitch already! Someone so ungrateful and ruthless didn't deserve to live! Meanwhile, the guards finally caught up with Sarah, grabbing her arms and forcefully pulling her back. "General Manager Katherine, please! I need to talk to you!" Sarah cried out desperately. Katherine kept her gaze elsewhere, acting as if she hadn’t heard a word. "Can't you see General Manager Katherine doesn't want anything to do with you? Move!" one of the guards snapped angrily, shoving Sarah even harder. "

    Gritting her teeth, she spat angrily, “General Manager Katherine, how can you claim that I used that loser? Robin is worthless! By taking his bone marrow, I was doing him a favor! If it had stayed in his body, it would have been worth nothing just like the rest of him, but inside me, it’s worth millions. "By that logic, he actually owes me! So how can you say I took advantage of him? He should be thanking me every day for accepting his worthless bone marrow!” "Huh?" Katherine couldn't believe what she was hearing. She stared at Sarah in shock. Was someone truly this twisted? "Guards, get this lunatic out of here immediately! Just listening to her is killing my brain cells," Katherine ordered coldly. “Yes, boss!” The guards rushed forward, grabbing Sarah and dragging her out of the conference hall. “You brat! I don’t know what spell you cast on General Manager Katherine, but this isn’t over! For humiliating me like this, I’ll make you pay! I’ll kill you!” as they dragged her

    "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.

    “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

    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!

    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

    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
