“That’s more like it!” Bruce yelled in glee and the next second he winced in pain as he hit his bandaged thigh. Robin didn’t even cast a glance at him as he followed the screaming Smith into one of the cages.“Tie him to that chair,” Robin said as soon as he spotted a chair in the middle of a cage. Soon, he was left alone in the cage while Bruce, his men, and Mac stood outside the cage while the rest of the prisoners continued to cower in fear. They weren’t ready for the nightmare that was about to happen.“What the fuck do you want to do?” Smith spat out with an angry look in his eyes. But then Robin didn’t bother to reply to him. “What do you think?” Robin asked back as he walked around the cage looking through the torture tools scattered around. His eyes twinkled as he saw a switch on the wall and he halted.“What does that switch do?” He asked Bruce with eager eyes as he wouldn’t mind zapping electricity through Smith’s body.“Well, it sends showers of boiling hot water toward yo
Robin raised his brows in surprise as soon as he heard that. Bruce had said his mansion was one of the hardest to break into but now it seemed that wasn’t so.“So much for bragging, isn’t it?” He asked with a taunting look on his face while Bruce rolled his eyes at him.“What do we do, Robin? We don’t have time for such chats.” Mac came forward with a serious look on his face. Now, he wasn’t even scared to face danger or unsettling situations with Robin unlike how he used to be before. “We have to face him head-on,” Robin replied and Bruce nodded but still he didn’t make any move or command his men to do some security protocols. However, there was a look of contemplation on Bruce’s face which got Robin wondering what was wrong.“Is anything wrong?” Robin asked.“Yes, the most baffling thing is that Jared didn’t come with anyone else but himself. How is that possible? He knows it’s a death trap to come into my mansion without adequate security.” Bruce said out his concerns with a frow
“He has her,” Robin whispered to Mac. Just like he had expected, he knew that Jared would have gotten to Angie and now, she was dragged into the cell and placed in another empty cage.“What are we going to do? He is going to do something bad… and maybe kill her.” Mac said in worry but Robin was entirely aware of those worries. Jared could decide to do what he did to Isabella to Angie as well. Even though Angie was not Robin’s lover, he might go crazy if history repeats itself again.“Look who we have here…” Jared called out with a glowing smile on his face as he stood by Angie’s cage. Angie looked straight at Robin with a calm look in her eyes. She was prepared for whatever was going to happen and she wasn’t even scared one bit.However, her attitude made Robin worry the more as he started to think that he had caused all of this. Low-key he thought that his problems would be solved and he would finally put an end to all of his worries when he got into the underworld but that was not
“Why? Why?” Robin asked almost immediately. His eyes dimmed as he continued to watch Angie get manhandled while his fists tightened around the bar railings in anger.[You have neglected your missions and tasks, it’s only a matter of time before the Squandering System disappears.]“Shit!” Robin cussed in anger and dismay as he regretted never involving the system in his plans. No matter what, the system had assisted him to where he was now, and now he neglected it because he thought that the system would get in his way.“Is there anything I can do? I need to save her!” Robin asked desperately. Right at this moment, Jared was laying on Angie and he was really trying to force himself on her. At the same time, she was desperately trying to wade him off but then it was as if her little fight was enjoyed by Jared and he only gave her room to fight more before he finally devoured her.No matter what Robin asked, the system didn’t care to answer, deciding to neglect Robin at this point as wel
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
