Robin stood up to his feet, in surprise, seeing the way Sofia knelt at his feet. It wasn't the most unexpected situation for him but then he wanted to know why she was here.
"Why are you here?" He asked, in a cold tone as he looked down at her with a cold expression. He had not seen her since the day she left him to die, at the gym. No matter what he goes through, he will never forget the humiliation he felt right before Durk all because he loved a woman."I want you back, Robin. You are the only one I love." She let out, in a low tone as she looked up at me and the whole class gasped again. She didn't care if they looked at her, with judging eyes, she had to do what she had to do."Look at her, she is so shameless." One of the students said as they pointed accusing fingers at Sofia."She bashed Robin right on the school's forum and now, she is here to beg him? How slutty could she be? Has Durk dumped her and now she is here to receive some cash from Robin?" Another student said and they all nodded their heads, in unison."She is a gold-digger!" Another said, in a thundering tone. They all thought Sofia was back to beg Robin because she needed money and he was the new money bag after all.All those words flowed into Robin's ears and he tried his best not to react. He looked down at Sofia and he tried to force the images in his head, right out. He had no feelings for her anymore but he was still angry about the humiliation he got right in the gym."Mac, get her out." He ordered Mac who had come to stand beside him. Sofia was disrupting his class and he didn't like that. His eyes shone with so much anger but he tried to conceal it as the school's most beautiful lady, came to sit beside him as he sat back down."Let me go!" He watched Sofia scream as she was carried out of the class. He finally had some peace after a few moments but it was only outwardly.The scenes from the gym continued to flash before his eyes and he did not like it. It only got him more livid and he clenched his fists so tight around the desk.In the next second, there was a breaking sound and the lady beside him gasped."Ahh, you are so strong!" The lady said, with amazed eyes as he put her hands around Robin, pulling him into an embrace.On one hand, he got a feel of her soft chest and on the other hand, he thought that the embrace was unnecessary."Do you go to the gym, often?" She asked and even though Robin was so uninterested in the conversation, he liked the look of adoration in her eyes even though he knew why. He was strong because he used his system points to enhance his skills."No, I do not." He replied, in a curt tone and even though he did that, she would not stop talking to him."Then you must be naturally strong, then. I wonder how you are..." Her words flowed into Robin's ears but the flow was cut short went they all heard a bang.The door was forced open and they all saw Sofia rushing in with a force like never before."The fuck!" Mac cussed as he had just thrown her out, minutes ago.Robin stood up to his feet as he wondered if Sofia had gone mad. He thought he had gotten rid of her but it didn't seem that way. Even though he had vowed to take revenge on her for humiliating him, he didn't need her bugging him this way."Robin, do not listen to her! She is a gold-digger!" Sofia screamed as she rushed toward Robin, with the lady beside him. It was obvious she was talking about the beautiful lady beside standing with her supposed lover."What? Me? A gold-digger?" The beautiful lady asked, with a snort and with pride swirling in her eyes."Yes, you! You are trying to seduce him, knowing he loves me and not you!" Sofia thundered, with red eyes."Well, you should look at yourself before calling me names, you old hag! You think he loves you, huh? Watch how he throws you right out of the gutter!" The lady thundered, with red eyes as she looked straight at Sofia. It was a heated standoff as all the students had gathered around for a show."You dare talk right back at me?" Sofia asked as she was ready to lung at the beautiful lady for a fight. However, Robin was having none of it."Enough!" He thundered and the ladies froze. His eyes were filled with so much anger and while it was thrilling to have two beautiful ladies fight over him, it wasn't what he wanted. Right at this moment, he just wanted to think of what he needed to squander his money on."Robin..." Sofia let out, in a shaky tone."Enough! Get the fuck out of..." He started to lash out at her but then he froze. He heard the system's voice in his head and a screen appeared before him, showing Sofia's face.[Attention! Attention! Robin Claire, a new task has popped up! You are to accept Sofia in twenty minutes!]He froze for a few more minutes as he couldn't fathom why the system would ask him to do that.How could he accept Sofia back before everyone? He would be labelled a simp and he wouldn't even be proud of his actions.A person who bashed him, right on the school's forum, with no remorse."What's wrong with Robin?" Someone asked as Mac came to stand beside him to shake him up.On the other hand, the clock was ticking and the twenty minutes would be up, soon. Robin swallowed as he looked at the face he loathed right on the system's screen."What if I don't take her back? What are the consequences?" He asked the system in his mind. By all means, he wanted to avoid Sofia and just deal with her accordingly from afar.[It's simple, Robin Claire. You will go back to being poorer than the poorest and your looks as well as your skills will recede beyond normal!]Those words resonated in Ronin's head and he shuddered. What was he to choose now?"Shit!" Robin cussed as he looked all around the class and then at Sofia who had gone down on her knees. The beautiful lady who had been fighting over him alongside Sofia looked at him with so much hope. At this point, he didn't know whether he should throw away his dignity for the System's sake or just save his face by refusing his ex-girlfriend."Robin..." He heard Mac call out. However, the system's voice rang out in his head. [10, 9, 8...]Time was almost up and at the last minute, he couldn't fathom the thought of being poor again. He was going to get disgraced for a moment for the greater good. "Sofia, come here. I must have been blind to reject you, my love." Robin said and everywhere froze. No one expected him to say those flowery words. It was so unlike the recent cold Robin. "Are you out of your mind, Robin? She is obviously deceiving you!" The beautiful lady from earlier screamed, in anger as she had been put down by Robin's decision. She felt ashamed for fighting over h
For a few moments, Robin looked at Sofia with a cold look. In the next second, he let out a sheepish smile and then spoke up, "I don't think I can buy this, Sofia." His words caused her to gasp and then everyone looked at Robin in disbelief. The Robin who had just set up a company, how would he not have money? "What? It's just a piece of jewelry, my love. It's not so expensive." Sofia said as her smile slowly disappeared. She didn't expect him to turn her down, that way. "Yes, I know. It's just a piece of jewelry. Why don't you buy it yourself?" Robin asked with arched brows. "Ohhh..." The beautiful lady from earlier cooed, mockingly. She then stared at Sofia for a comeback. Everyone there knew that she couldn't afford the jewelry. On the other hand, Robin took a fleeting glance at the jewelry. He was a bit shocked at the price. It was a whopping sum of one million dollars! He had the money and he was required to squander money. But then he was never going to squander that amount
"What the fuck is she doing?" Mac thundered in disbelief as he looked from Robin to Durk. The other students were also surprised by what was going on. One minute, Sofia was all over Robin, and in the next minute, she had gone to be by Durk's side. "Hi, everyone..." Durk said as he approached the students while Sofia was following closely behind. He had a smile on his face and he looked so handsome and approachable compared to Robin who was cold and devilishly handsome. The System points had really boosted his looks. "Hi, Durk..." The beautiful lady from earlier called out as she stepped closer to him. She had listened to the way Robin said he had no money and she didn't like it. "When did you get here?" She looked at Durk with a suggestive smile while she held onto the hem of his shirt, stylishly. At this point, she wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to him but as she cast a glance on Sofia who had wound her hands around Durk, she frowned. "I have been here all along. Th
As the video popped up on Robin's phone, he held onto his phone tightly as he tried to control his anger. The video of Sofia and Durk humiliating him was all over the school's forum. At this point, he realized that he had given those two adulterous couple enough room to do as they wished. "So, Robin is not as rich as he claimed." A commenter wrote and he snorted. In his mind, he knew he had never claimed to be rich to others. "No! This is not true! I want my Robin to confirm this himself! How could he let those miscreants humiliate him like that?!" One of the commenters wrote and Robin was a bit surprised that one person supported him out of many students. His company was actively still working for the students even though it was just at its inception. However, the students did not think that he didn't deserve their vile words after all he had done. "Robin, did you check the school's forum?" Mac asked from the side and Robin nodded. His eyes narrowed a bit as he watched Durk and S
"Yes! You do know I am the boss here, right?" Durk said with a proud look in his eyes. He looked at the manager and then walked to stand before him. However, the manager was looking straight at Robin while Robin signaled for the manager to keep quiet. "Answer me!" Durk thundered as the manager didn't even regard him and he didn't want to lose face before everyone. They were eagerly waiting for things to get resolved but Robin was eagerly waiting to see how things panned out. "Well, good day, mister." The manager greeted as he faced Durk."Yes, I want to know why your attendant has refused to let us in! Do you know who I am?" He thundered. "Of course, I do not know who you are and you are not my boss." The manager replied straightforwardly and everyone was surprised. The manager looked visibly uncomfortable by the whole thing and the way Durk disrespected him. "You..." Durk started to say through gritted teeth. "Please, excuse me and make way!" The manager said, cutting Durk off
As soon as Sofia said those words, the whole place went silent as they all looked from her to Robin. They never expected her to say something like that. It implied that Robin was a bastard and he was also a liar who lied about his father being influential. On the other hand, Robin froze for a moment as he heard Sofia's words. While he was dating her, he had told her everything including how he did not know who his parents were. And now his foolish action came back to bite him in the ass. "Oh, so you are a bastard? Huh?" Durk took the opportunity to humiliate Robin as he laughed out loud. The others then started to look at him with weird eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to do as he looked at everyone. In the next second, he rested his back on the chair and he looked calm and unaffected. "What do you think?" He replied to Durk. "It's obvious that you are one," Durk replied, almost immediately. "Will you be able to sit at this table if I was one? If I'm not a bastard, then yo
As soon as Durk heard himself being compared to Robin, he lunged at Robin, in anger. "You asshole, what have you done?" He asked as he tightened his fists and sent a punch flying toward Robin. Everyone expected there should be a clash and all hell should break loose due to the strength that Durk showcased. But in the next second, Robin caught hold of Durk's fist with so much ease, while he was still sitting. This move shocked everyone and even as the rich guy tried so much to move his arm, he couldn't. Robin had him in a lockdown. "Shit! I never knew he was so strong." The beautiful lady from earlier said with admiration in her eyes. Sofia was quick to stand to her feet and then glared at the lady. She was definitely going to lose face if Durk lost."What are you doing?" Durk said through gritted teeth as he tried to overthrow Robin but he couldn't get past his strong grip. "You should know your enemies, Durk..." Robin said with a smirk on his face and in the next second, he gripp
The whole place went silent as soon as Robin said those words. They looked at him like he had gone crazy and some of them even hissed at him. Even Mac had to look at him with skeptical eyes. His friend had not told him he owned a restaurant before. Was this just a stunt?"Do you think this is some random restaurant, Robin?" One of the students asked and Robin shrugged. He had already declared that he was the owner of the restaurant and he didn't think he had to prove himself further. "Of course, it's not." Robin replied, with a calm tone. "Then you must be out of your mind. A place like this cannot be owned by you." Robin heard them say and he chuckled. Inside Robin's mind, he concluded that he must be really out of his mind. "Of course, I am." He replied, nonchalantly. His nonchalant attitude however got them irked and they started to reprimand him. The same Robin who had told Sofia he had no money cannot be the owner of the restaurant. That was what they thought. Sofia also
“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
