The whole place went silent as the gunshot sound went off and Robin’s eyes widened in shock when he saw blood spurt out of Bruce’s body. It was like everything was moving in a slow motion and it wasn’t even reality for anyone present.“Die! You bastard!” Jared let out with a wicked look in his eyes as he staggered. Mac held onto him tightly and he wished he could strangle him to death.“What have you done?” Mac asked with gritted teeth as his fingers dug into Jared's arms tightly.“Ended a decade-old feud! I overcame! I overcame…” Jared let out a victorious smirk on his face and soon he burst into a peal of hilarious laughter. The wickedness in his eyes was evident and he wasn’t even remorseful that he had just killed his brother.“You bastard!” Robin rushed forward and dragged Jared, smacking him in the face. He was still in control of the menacing skill and the smack almost caused Jared’s neck to snap. His face got swollen immediately and his eyes turned blurry. In the next second,
Robin immediately rushed to Bruce's bedside with a panicked look on his face. Bruce's lost look caused him to frown, wondering if the underworld lord had turned into a dummy. "Bruce..." He called out and he was about to touch him but then the medics suddenly rushed in to push him backward. "You can't stay in here, sir. We have to take a look at him first." One of the medics pushed Robin away and he frowned. "But he is awake..." Robin said with a confused look on his face. He didn't know how these things worked but then he was already thinking that Bruce was okay."Yes, but we still need to check on him. It is also unexpected that he is awake now. Something must be wrong." The medic said and Robin nodded, casting a fleeting glance at Bruce on the bed. "Take care of him then..." He said, understandingly and instantly, he turned to walk out. He just couldn't wait for Bruce to get hold of himself. They had plans to keep up with and he didn't think he could do it all alone. A few minu
Bruce’s declaration caught Robin off guard so much that he couldn’t utter any more words. His eyes dimmed and for the first time after his mother’s death, tears spilled from his eyes.“You… can’t die,” Robin said with a shaky tone. He had not spent so much time with Bruce and he had not formed a deep bond with the underworld boss, but then he had seen Bruce’s pain and frustration.“I have to go… Robin.” Bruce let out with a happy smile on his face and before Robin could even say anything, two men walked into the medical room dressed in black suits. Robin turned to look at them with a frown on his face. Instantly, he stood upright, ready to face them in a fight.If they were here to finish what Jared started, then they were mistaken.“Boss…” The men called out and they rushed toward Bruce’s bedside but Robin was quick to stop them with a ferocious look on his face. Seeing Robin, the men immediately stepped back with a scared looks on their faces.“Let… them through…” Bruce said from be
The words of the system rang through Robin’s head like a storm! It was something he refused to believe and he wanted to convince himself that the system was probably joking.“You are joking right?” He asked with raised brows. Bruce, willing everything to him was already a heavy burden to him and now he was tasked with a near-impossible mission. He wasn’t even interested in staying in the underworld if eventually he got his revenge done. He wanted to live a peaceful life afterward but the mission would never let him do that.[No, the system would never joke with a mission.] “Then, I can’t do what you have asked me. I have no desire to be an underworld boss.” Robin replied with a firm look on his face. He scrunched up the document in his hand knowing that was what possibly caused the system to give him such a ridiculous mission.[You have no choice, Robin. You have made a pledge and you cannot back out. Else, there will be consequences.] The system said, and it was the first time sinc
“That is for Bruce! Not me! I never asked you to announce shit! If you claim that I am your boss now, you would have consulted me first.” Robin said through gritted teeth. He was on the verge of summoning the menacing skill just to finish up Arti but he had to control himself, greatly.With the look in his eyes, Arti couldn’t say anything and he had to bow his head in surrender and the next second, Robin let him go roughly. Silence preceded them but Arti was starting to get really impatient. Though he had seen how Robin had tried to hold himself back from harming him, he still needed to know what the new boss wanted to do.“You have to decide on what to do. We do not have much time left.” Arti spoke up with a calm tone, trying not to anger Robin again.Without a reply to his question, Robin paced around the room with a disturbed look in his eyes while Arti waited for him to say something. He didn’t even expect that such a thing could happen and now he had to face underworld bosses. Wh
As soon as Robin finished his words, the three underworld bosses into laughter which echoed through the almost empty mansion. They saw Robin as a twig they could just break into two. What more could someone who had just joined the underworld do? Not much.On the other hand, Robin closed his eyes and slowly, he summoned the menacing skill as well as the fortifying skill. However, a new mission popped up on the system’s screen and Robin had to halt for a little while. Those men were already to attack him and he didn’t have much time to talk to the system.[Attention, Robin Claire, you have been tasked to kill Raid, Cane, and Kan. Your mission starts now and should be completed in one hour!] Those were the words of the system and Robin was a bit surprised that the system would ask him to kill. He had not planned to kill them but then there was no defying of the system’s words again.But then if he wanted to become the most feared boss in the underworld, he would have to kill. Indirectly
“You have successfully defeated three bosses on your own, boss…” Arti said as he walked down the stairs with an astonished look on his face. He knew Raid, Kan, and Cane to be devious and cunning and their easy defeat was surprising to him.At the same time, Angie rushed toward Robin with a relieved look on her face. She embraced him directly and Robin who was still thinking about what had happened and as soon as he felt Angie’s touch, he came back to his senses.“I’m glad you are okay,” Mac spoke up, walking past Arti and making sure to bang his shoulder, maliciously. He was starting to think that Arti would take his place. It was something he didn’t want and he was going to convince Robin to get rid of his so-called right-hand man.“Boss…” Arti called out with an urgent tone and then rushed to the trio. His phone was in his hand and he was also watching the video Robin had uploaded through Raid’s dark web account.“This video is going viral and…” Arti started to say but he had to kee
The kiss lasted a few more minutes and by the time Angie was getting really invested in the kiss, Robin pulled away and fell loosely on her shoulder. He was fast asleep and Angie had to pull away from him to lay him down.“Hmmm…” Robin let out a protesting groan, unconsciously as Angie tried to lay him on the bed. Her body was too soft and comfortable and he couldn’t afford to leave her alone, so he held onto her.On the other hand, Angie was trying so hard to detach herself from him but then it was not easy. Robin laid flat on the bed with his hands around her waist while she struggled not to lay on him.“Oh shit…” Angie let out, feeling a bit uncomfortable and confused about detaching herself from him or just lying down on him. She had dreamed of moments like this and now that it was finally happening, she didn’t know what to do.If she lay down, she started to think about how Robin was going to react when he saw her by his side the next morning.All those days he used to detest her
