"Did you do what I asked?" Robin asked as he sat on a chair, right in his room. He had his old phone in hand as he started to scroll through the several posts on the school's forum. He didn't even need an answer from Mac as he had already gotten an answer to it. "Yes, I did! No one noticed it was me." Mac replied, in an enthusiastic tone. He could see the excited look on Robin's face and he wondered what his friend was up to. "Why did you decide to put yourself under the bus that way? I think you should have waited till the day of the opening!" Mac said as he was greatly concerned about Robin. On the other hand, Robin looked at the comment left by Mac on the post that had been going viral on the school forum. He had earlier ordered Mac to disclose his identity of being the boss using an anonymous account."You will find out, soon." Robin replied, with a mysterious look on his face. This move of his was just to fish out a few people and also to spread the news so wide."What do you
"It's Durk's opening! Let's go!" The students shouted in delight as they flocked into the school grounds toward where Durk's opening was stationed. He had declared that he would set up his own logistics company as well and he did so. He had cars and buses parked in a strategic location inside the school. He had pulled strings, just to be able to stay right inside the school. "Ahh!! Can you see him over there? He looks so handsome!" One of the female students screamed in delight as they watched Durk stand on the grand stage alongside Sofia who followed him about. The students were going crazy over him and at the same time, speculating what relationship he had with Sofia now."Is that not the school's church rat's ex-girlfriend? Is she with Durk now?" One of the students asked as they started to wave placards all about. "Of course! She is! She wouldn't want to support her wretched ex-boyfriend after all." Another student replied, with a snort. Their envious eyes were on Sofia who ha
"Shit!" Durk yelled, in anger as he marched into the extravagant tent he had created for his opening. He felt like his head was going to burst and his eyes were red. He looked all around and he could see no one. Everyone had left and with his phone in hand, he replayed the video going viral on the school's forum."Ahhh!!" He yelled, in anger as he punched the wall, continuously. Soon, his hand started to bleed but then he did not stop. His anger only increased by multiple folds. "I'm going to kill you, Robin! I'm going to kill you!" He let out, through gritted teeth as he scrolled through his phone, quickly. He wanted to do something. Something that would shake everyone and take Robin out. Never in his life had he expected that things would turn out this way! Never!He thought he had everything under control and he was going to win over Robin. He thought that he was going to be the school's most loved person but everything turned out to be for naught. "I can't take this!" He said a
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
"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
“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
