“Hmmm…” Robin groaned in pain and gritted his teeth with red eyes as the doctor continued to take out bullets from his body.He had never had to endure such searing and stinging pain while he was conscious. The pain he even suffered in prison seemed to pale in comparison to what he was feeling now.“How did you get these injuries? As far as I know, guns are illegal in this city.” The doctor said as he looked at Robin with suspicion in his eyes. He was nosy and wanted to know what was going on.But then, Robin didn’t care to reply to him.A few minutes later, after the doctor was done, Robin spoke up, quickly, “You can go now. You can speak to Rico about anything else.”“Well, I need to instruct you on a few things.” The doctor insisted on staying. Of course, he still had not found out what Robin was hiding.“Leave!” Robin thundered while he lay on the sofa and then closed his eyes to rest. In the next second, the doctor walked out while Robin closed his eyes to rest. His arm and shoul
“Did you find anything?” Robin asked as soon as Rico walked into his bedroom. It was a new day and a new week and he was already preparing for work.“Yes, boss.” Rico said and then went to stand before Robin.However, he looked worried with a deep frown on his face.“Are you preparing for work? Your injuries have not healed yet and he shouldn’t take on any workload.” Rico advised.“You don’t have to worry. I’m okay.” Robin replied, knowing he had already healed due to the system. However, he wasn’t going to take the bandages off, so as not to arouse any suspicions. He was dressed in a white shirt and he wore a dark brown suit over it.His hair was styled messily and he looked healthy and robust compared to how frail and pale he had been last night.“Well…” Rico let out, wanting to refute his boss’ words but Robin cut him off.“Did you find anything?” Robin had to ask, again. The only thing he was eager about was who that woman was.Suddenly, Rico had a serious look on his face. He bro
As soon as Robin saw the caption on the school’s forum’s post, he cringed due to the way they were singing praises of him. It was his mistake that he wasn’t able to keep himself anonymous. Without anything to do to stop them, he directly switched off his phone and placed it in his pocket.He then made a mental note to visit the school soon as it was almost the end of a semester.“This way, sir.” He heard the secretary say as she led him into a mini-conference room. The employees that had been recruited stood up immediately they spotted Robin, including Angie who was smiling at the forefront.There was a table in the center of the room with the employees around it while Robin walked forward to sit at the head of the table.“It is an honor to work with you, boss.” One of the employee spoke up, immediately.“I’m Dan and we all have prepared an appreciative token for you, for giving us this opportunity to work with the fastest growing tech company. It is a dream come true for us.” Dan con
“Is that why you think I’m worthless, huh?” Mac asked, stepping toward Robin.“What are you on about?” Robin had to ask as he stood up to his feet with a frown. Looking at his friend, Mac didn’t seem to be joking.“I’m not on about anything! You are the one who is onto something! Firstly, you left me all alone in The Red Club, leaving me to settle the bills alone…” He started to say and Robin was caught off guard for a moment.“The bills? You expected me to settle the bills?” Robin asked with a look of disbelief on his face.“Of course! You asked me to get a membership for the club. Out of my benevolence, I went out of my way to get sexy ladies to keep us company and you left me alongside Rico. Is that how things work?” Mac thundered and Robin was too shocked to speak.He had to sit back on his chair to look at Mac with so much confusion in his gaze.“I never asked you to get those ladies, did I? I never told you that I wanted to visit the club, so I could play around. You had agreed
As soon as Robin walked into The Red Club, he was approached by the manager who was already aware of his coming.“Welcome, boss.” The manager greeted with a big smile on his face while he led Robin toward the most luxurious private room the club had.“I do not expect you to eavesdrop on my conversation here, you know?” Robin asked and the manager nodded with a sheepish smile.It has always been his fetish to know what was going on in the lives of several socialites, wealthy and influential people who visited the club. And sometimes, he could decide to sell their information to whomever was interested.And this time, Robin would not be an exception. As soon as the door closed behind Robin, he ran back to is office, eager to know who Robin was meeting. Rico had brought Leon in discreetly and the manager was too curious to let this kind of thing slip away.As soon as he got into his office, he pulled out the footage of Robin’s VIP room but to his dismay, Leon was not facing the camera, s
“What favor?” Leon asked with raised brows.“Did you listen well to the video?” Robin asked and Leon nodded.“Aren’t you curious about the person that was traded?” He asked.“Of course, I’m not.” Leon replied and Robin was taken aback, wondering how cold and unfeeling Leon was.“Don’t get me wrong, Robin. It’s not that I’m heartless or anything. I’m sure that the victim would be sold off right now and be somewhere rotting away.” Leon replied with a serious look.To Robin, it seemed Leon had placed Jared too highly.“What if I tell you the victim is safe?” Robin asked and Leon looked at him in disbelief.“That can’t be possible. Jared would always make sure to safeguard his ‘goods’ until he sells them off.” Leon said, convincingly.“Well, I see that you have overestimated that bastard then.” Robin said with a sigh.“What do you mean?” Leon asked with a confused look. He had known Jared for a long time now and he knew what the bastard was capable of.“Rico…” Robin suddenly called and in
BUSTED! BRIANNA HAMILTON’S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE WANTED HUMAN TRAFFICKER HAS BEEN REVEALED!A VIDEO EVIDENCE HAS BEEN RELEASED AND NOW, SHE IS BEING ESCORTED TO THE POLICE CUSTODY! HOWEVER, THERE IS NO INFORMATION OR NEWS ABOUT THE VICTIM SHE TRIED TO SELL OFF. IS THE VICTIM SOMEONE WE ALL KNOW OR SOMEONE WHO HAS NO POWER TO STAND UP TO THE HAMILTON FAMILY POWER?Those words were aired on the news and Alexander stood up from the couch in shock. His eyes widened, having to see his daughter being escorted out of her private house and into a police van. At the same time, his body shook in fear and trepidation, knowing that Brianna might never be able to get out of this predicament.“Is this true?” The old man asked his assistant who was standing by his side while he sat back down on the couch heavily.“Yes, this is true. Unfortunately, we didn’t get informed about the young lady’s arrest before now. Everything seemed well planned and executed and the person behind it didn’t want you to g
“Don’t play games with me, Leon. Are you here to mock me?” Alexander asked with a livid look. His face was red, showing how embarrassed he was with the way Leon put him down.“No, I don’t play games, old man. If you really want to see Brianna. I can bring her here in minutes.” Leon replied. Ever since Robin handed him that video, he had planned out his moves perfectly. He would cover Robin and at the same time, he would get the old man to do his bidding concerning Brianna.“What do you want then?” Alexander asked finally. Deep down, he decided that if Leon was playing games with him then he would surely get back at him.“I want Isabella.” Leon dropped the bombshell and the whole place went silent for a moment. Alexander and his assistant looked like they had heard the wrong thing but Leon wasn’t willing to be fooled by their expressions. He knew better.“Are you out of your mind, Leon? Are you here to mock me over the death of my first daughter?” The old man thundered but in the next
“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
