Two weeks had passed and Robin had been mourning his mother, in solitude right in Leon's house. Rico, Angie, and Mac had tried to reach out to him but he shut them out. "It's time for you to get up and do something." Leon said as he knocked on Robin's room door. Right now, the young lad even had a space in Leon's house. On the other hand, Robin was standing before the mirror dressed in a white shirt and black pants. Of course, he planned to go out that day as he had to put his plans into action. Leon had helped him to preserve his mother's body in a hidden mortuary and now, he had limited time to take his revenge so his mother could be put to rest. "System, we have to work together, really well from now on." Robin said, with a whisper. Now, in his head, he knew that the only thing he could really rely on was the Squandering System. Leon was there to help but then his help wouldn't be as swift as that of the system. [Yes, Robin Claire. I have been designed to be at your back and c
FAMOUS STUDENT TURNED BUSINESSMAN, ROBIN CLAIRE HAS NOT FAILED TO AMAZE US! THE CEO OF COHORT TECH HAS ACQUIRED ONE OF THE LARGEST TECH COMPANIES IN THE CITY! PANA TECH WILL BE MERGING WITH COHORT TECH! This came as the utmost shock to netizens and even residents of the city, country, and beyond. Most of the gadgets they use were manufactured by Pana Tech. Now, they were starting to wonder if Cohort Tech would be able to create such excellent products now that it had bought Pana Tech. At this point, Robin had decided to grant an interview. He was dressed sharply and the interview was conducted in his office, in Cohort Tech. "Mr. Robin, your sudden move to acquire the biggest Tech company came as a shock to many. Do you give as much assurance for your products as Pana Tech did?" The interviewer asked with raised brows. "Yes." Robin answered curtly. "I will not attempt to produce below quality as that would bring undesirable reactions from both sides." He added, with a small smile
“What is the meaning of this?” Alexander asked as he stood up to his feet with a frown on his face. He was amazed to hear that he was under arrest because he knew that no policeman would be brazen enough, to do that.“You heard him! What is the meaning of this?” Adrian asked as he went to stand beside his father. He was incredibly livid at this point. Rick, his nephew had just become the new CEO and now he was under arrest? What more unpleasant things could happen now?“Just as it seems, Mr. Alexander. Your company has been involved in fraud and embezzlement of tax funds for the past few years and we have found that you both have been actively involved.” One of the policeman said and in the next second, they all went forward to handcuff Alexander and Adrian.“What insolence! Do you have proof of what you are saying?” Alexander yelled as he banged the table. His eyes turned red as he turned to look at Robin who still stood in his place, just spectating. They made eye contact and Robin
HAMILTON CORPS HAS DENIED EVERY ALLEGATIONS CONCERNING THE FRAUD COUNTS AND EMBEZZLEMENT LEVELED AGAINST THEM! THE CHAIRMAN AND FORMER CEO IS STILL IN CUSTODY OF THE CRIME POLICE AND WE AWAIT A PRESS RELEASE FROM THE POLICE.“What do we do next?” A shareholder asked Robin as he was seated at the head of the table.“I’ll visit the police. I’ll make sure to get the chairman and Adrian out of the policy custody to back our denial.” Robin replied with a confident look.“Are you sure? It seemed the police really had evidence.” A shareholder said, giving Robin a skeptical look.“Of course, I am sure.” Robin replied almost immediately. He planned it all, so he knew just how to douse the situation. Everyone would be in for a surprise when they realized what he had actually planned.“Anything else?” Robin asked as he stared at Rick who was by his side. Rick had his head down in shame and he was angry, at the same time sad that the shareholders were quick to discard him as soon as he declared t
"You are a disappointment to this family!" Adrian yelled as he clenched and unclenched his fists in anger. "Get me the rod!" He ordered one of the workers who were gathered around. "Uncle..." Rick let out with a shaky tone. He was on his knees and tears had pooled in his eyes. He looked toward his grandfather but the old man looked away immediately. This time, he wasn't going to help his grandson. "Shut the fuck up! I do not even think I'm your Uncle! Someone who is a part of the Hamilton family would never act so foolishly like you did!" Adrian yelled making Rick flinch. He took the rod which was brought to him and smiled wickedly. "Your mother is not here to discipline you and that's why I'm here!" He said and in the next second, he raised the rod and slammed it on Rick's shoulder mercilessly. "Hmmm..." Rick groaned in pain and he felt his bone dislocate. One side of his body fell to the ground while he held his injured shoulder. "I'm going to beat you to the point where you c
“You can always do that without proving it to me.” Robin said with a small smile on his face. He didn’t want to continue that depressing conversation with Mac, so he stood up to his feet.“What happens if you become the valedictorian? As always the best among the rest.” Mac said with a bit of mockery in his tone. He wasn’t even sure if that mocking tone was directed at him or Robin.“You don’t think you can be the one?” Robin asked back with raised brows. He failed to understand why Mac couldn’t remember how he had suffered all through his life. All because he got a breakthrough in the past few months, he was already termed the ‘always the best’.“I don’t think so.” Mac replied as he downed a bottle of whiskey in one gulp. His throat burned but he refused to stop. The pain in his throat overshadowed the one in his heart. He felt so low on himself and that was a pain he didn’t want to experience.“Prepare for our deal then. One of us has to win or fail.” Robin said with a calm look and
"Fuck! No!" Robin yelled as Angie was dragged up and toward a black car. He rushed after her immediately but in the next second, a shot was fired at his leg. He fell and tumbled on the ground with his bullet wound dripping with blood, unstoppably. "That's right! You are not gonna escape a bullet." The man said as he started to retreat toward his car. They had gotten what they wanted and that was all. "Who the fuck are you? Why do you want her? She has done nothing wrong and if you should take anyone, it should be me." Robin said as he held onto his bleeding leg. His eyes had turned bloodshot as he tried to suppress the pain. "I'm Jared's better half." The man replied with a sinister smile. For a fleeting moment, a look of love flashed across his eyes and Robin cringed inwardly. "You left him so injured that he couldn't do well for days. Of course, I'm not going to let you go scot-free." He added. "This is just the fucking beginning." "Fuck!" Robin cussed as he realized he had g
"What are you doing here?" Robin asked with raised brows. He thought he had not heard right and he thought maybe Adrian had gone nuts. "I mean it literally! Where is Angie? My father wants her back." Adrian spoke up again with a vile look on his face. "Well, it doesn't look like you want her." Robin replied with a calm look. He didn't want to reveal to Adrian that Angie was missing. He was starting to suspect that something fishy was actually going on."Rico! Take him out." Robin said, pointing at the door. Immediately, Rico walked up to Adrian but he was quick to evade Rico's hold. "Why? Why don't you want to bring her out? Is she missing?" Adrian asked with a sinister smile on his face. Robin was taken aback for a moment but then he had figured out what was going on. Rico tried to take Adrian out again but Robin waved him off. He wanted to know what Adrian was driving at. "Did you kidnap her?" Robin asked. "How do you know she was kidnapped?" He added. "It's because you bit m
“Did you find anything?” Robin asked as soon as Leon came back and the old man nodded. “He is telling the truth,” Leon said simply causing Robin to look at Arti with a probing look. However, he didn't want to probe too much as what he needed to do now was to find Angie. “I think you need to go back to the underworld. They abducted her.” Arti chipped. “I hate to say this but if we don't act fast, Angie might die.” “Shit!” Robin cussed in anger and punched the air. He didn't want to go back there at all. But then the dark band was still with him and there was no way they wouldn't look out for him. “Get ready, we are leaving!” He ordered and then turned to go to his bedroom with Leon to prepare. On the other hand, Arti smirked in victory. He was the one who planned the abduction. No matter what, he wanted his previous boss, Bruce’s legacy to go on. He would do everything to get Robin back there. Arti was itching to put more bullets into the heads of people and he couldn't do that
“Are you okay?” Robin asked as he patted down on Angie’s hair. He led her into his bedroom and Angie could only smile sheepishly. “Tell me what you want to eat. I will get it for you.” Robin uttered, as he made her lay on his bed and he covered her up. He did everything with so much care that Angie was blushing continuously. “No… you don't have to do that.” She said, holding his hand. “You just got out of the police cell, you should rest.” “No, you should be the one resting. Look at me, I'm fine.” Robin put her words down and then stood up to his feet. “Wait here. I'll get you something to eat.” He quickly turned around to leave and before Angie could say something he was gone. She was left sighing on the bed and as she stared blankly at the ceiling, her heart felt full and at the same time, it was in turmoil. She didn't know if Robin was being so caring because of the recent happenings. It was likely so but then why did he have to kiss her before everyone earlier? Does he lik
Robin was remanded in the interrogation room which had dim lighting and two police officers sat before him. “So, where were you with Mac before he died?” They asked. “We were on a work trip,” Robin replied. His reply was vague but then that was the truth. However, it only made the officers more suspicious. “You can't just say you were on a work trip. Where exactly?” They asked. “I–” Knock!Knock!!Robin was cut off with a knock on the door and in the next second, the door opened and a police officer in uniform walked in. “Sir, Angie Hamilton appeared and is demanding to speak to the detective in charge of the case.” The police officer announced. “Angie? Angie is here?” Robin shot up to his feet with a surprised look on his face. How did she get there when she was supposed to be hospitalized? That was the thought in his head and he was about to move to go to her without thinking of anything else.“Mr. Claire, you will have to stay here.” One officer, held him by his shoulder an
Mac’s parents left the mansion in tears as Robin refused to hand over the company to them. However, they looked like they were really going to carry out their threats.“How are you going to solve this? You can't give them the company.” Leon said, walking up and down while Robin sat on the couch. He was silent as he tapped his fingers on the handrest. Claire’s Logistics was the dearest company to him. It was what he founded first and even at that, he could give it out freely for the sake of Mac. But then the moment he starts to give them whatever they wanted, they would come back and ask for more, stating the fact that he killed their son. Mac died because of him but then it didn't mean Robic killed him. He was ready to atone for his sins but with how greedy the parents were, they weren't worth the stress. “Leon…” Robin spoke up as he stood up to his feet. “Let them do their worst. I am not giving them a single penny anymore.” He declared and Leon nodded gleefully. “But if they c
Two days had passed since Robin buried his mother, Mac and Bruce. Several articles had been going all over the internet speculating how Alexander was killed and who killed him. The netizens were also trying to connect his death with the deaths that happened in the underworld. Surprisingly, the police had decided to intervene in the issue. The hideouts of Kaden and his brothers were raided but they couldn't find anything leading back to Robin, he had cleared up everything. And as the bearer of the dark band, no one was willing to snitch on Robin.Also, he had made sure to move Angie to a private hospital, and as of now, though he didn't want anything to do with the underworld, the members still wanted him back and they were already proposing that he reunite every organization in there.A few seconds later, there was a knock on Robin's bedroom and he opened his eyes slowly but he could see nothing. The bedroom was dark and the windows were closed while the curtains were drawn. No amoun
"It's done..." Robin said on the phone with a sigh through his lips. Alexander was locked up in the cell and he was back in Bruce's mansion. "Really? You have Alexander?" Leon said from the other side of the phone. His heart was filled with glee at the thought that their efforts were not in vain. "Yes, Leon. I have a few plans I would need you to carry out." Robin said and Leon answered accordingly. He was ready to do whatever Robin said and a few seconds later, Robin dished out a few instructions and Leon understood. However, before the call got disconnected, Robin revealed what had transpired, "Leon, Bruce and Mac are dead. While Angie is in a critical condition. She might not make it." He dropped the bombshell shell and directly disconnected the call. He didn't want Leon to blame him or try to comfort him. In the next second, Robin threw his phone to the other side and slipped to the floor in his bedroom. This was the time when he was alone and now, he could let it all out. Tea
"No! He is not!" Kaden suddenly screamed, in annoyance. He stood up to his feet immediately and dashed toward them, standing in between Robin and the three men. "He is not the possessor! I am!" Kaden said, angrily. "I have him in my custody! Everything that is on him, belongs to me. So, technically, I am the possessor." He explained in one breath, hoping the three men would come to their senses and acknowledge him instead. "No, he has the band, he is the possessor." One of the men said, pointing at Robin. "No..." Kaden continued to yell but in the next second, they pushed him off and stood before Robin again. "We came as soon as we saw that you are the new possessor. We saw that you were in distress and we decided to come to your aid." One of the men said and Robin who was still reeling in and thinking about what was happening, shook his head slightly. He thought that he was dreaming but then it was real and he needed to put this moment to use accordingly. "Kill him," Robin orde
Immediately, Robin dashed toward Alexander going for the kill. There was nothing in his way to stop and at this moment, he decided that he was going to end this so-called feud between them. On the other hand, Rico suddenly shot up to his feet and dragged Alexander backward in his wheelchair.While Robin was about to launch his attack, there was a sudden bang, and then a gunshot followed. The bullet hit Robin's shield and bounced back, however, it halted his movements rapidly. "Stop!" Kaden's voice rang out with a brutal edge to it. Immediately, Robin's head snapped to look at him and he was right there, beside Angie, pointing a gun at her head. "If you move, I'll shoot. I'll shoot her and you will be losing someone else as well!" Kaden yelled, however, he was in great shock. He was shocked to see that the bullet he shot bounced off. Different scenarios of why that could happen crossed his mind and he even started to think that it was because of the dark band! He was so delusional an
"Fuck! Are we too late? Is she dead?" Mac asked, with a bit of panic in his tone as the audio from the video went off. On the other hand, Robin held onto his phone tightly, and it was obvious it was going to get crushed in the next second. "She better not! They will regret ever doing that!" Robin threatened and he was really going to carry out his threat if Angie was really dead. But deep down, he refused to believe that was what happened. He knew that Kaden was just trying to get him to the location quicker. "Let's go..." Robin said, and he didn't forget to snatch a few weapons from Bruce's armory. He was ready to kill anyone on his way to Angie. A few minutes later, they got into a car and drove off while Arti was looking down at the departing car with regret in his eyes. Deep down, he wished that he was able to tie Robin down, so he could take that band away. On the other hand, Robin drove speedily, following the direction of the GPS in his car. Soon, they arrived before an aban
