A few hours had passed since the contest ended and Angie was currently kneeling before her grandfather. She had a downcast expression while they were locked away from everyone.“Grandpa… I’m… sorry!” Angie let out shakily. She never knew her actions would cause her grandfather to get annoyed with her. She had come second place in the contest and she got automatically employed in Robin’s company. She was extremely happy but her grandfather didn’t share the same feeling.Ever since Papa Alex took her in, she had been living a blissful life and this was the first time he reprimanded her.“When I took you in, little girl, you were just a pauper with no hopes of getting into college. But surprisingly, you exhibited impressive skills with computers which you picked by going in and out of several internet cafes.” The old man explained while he sat nonchalantly on a reclining chair.However, his eyes spit fire because he was angry with Angie.On the other hand, Angie felt small and devastated
Robin stood still for several moments as he didn’t know what to do. H e was ushered into a room full of naked women and men with the smell of sex. No one was there to address him. All this while, he thought he was coming for an important meeting but it turns out that, it would be so disgusting.Looking around, Robin noticed a few familiar faces in the government. Most of the ladies were very young while they entertained men in their mid-forties. What was more shocking was that most of the officials whom the citizens held in high esteem were present.A few minutes later, Robin couldn’t stand the environment anymore. Some naked girls were already making advances at him, since he was much more handsome than almost all the men present. So, he turned around to leave. However, he was stopped immediately by two men dressed as securities.“Robin Claire…” They called out to him and he frowned, in annoyance, wondering why they stopped him.“Yes?” Robin answered with raised brows. He tried to a
“I’m out!” Robin said and immediately, he turned around and started to walk in the direction of the stairs. He was sure he would be able to crack the electronic lock since it was configured by several codes, but there was no way he wanted to work on a magnetic field.He had other things to do, rather than delving into a whole new field.But as he approached the stairs, three men dressed in security uniforms suddenly walked out with guns in their hands. Robin halted immediately he saw them and then took a step back.“You all know that illegal use of guns is prohibited in this country, right?” Robin asked with raised brows and Leon chuckled.“Illegal?” Leon asked and then walked to stand beside Robin. At the same time, he ordered the men to have their guns ready, pointed at Robin.“We make the rules and we bend them. Nothing is illegal to us as long as we get it.” Kai spoke up from behind and Robin frowned. Corruption and so many illegal activities were going on in the city but then mos
Right at this moment, Robin stood before Kai, Leon, and Harry with a gun in hand while they sat on the floor. Robin was towering over them, giving them a suspicious look.“What do you mean about knowing my struggles? What do you know?” He directed that question at Kai.“It means what it means, boy,” Kai replied, giving Robin a neutral look. He was way older than the young lad but somehow, he had seen why Alexander was wary of him.“I asked, what do you know about me?” Robin asked again. He wasn’t surprised that they would know about his struggles with the Hamilton family but then Robin knew there must be something those three men knew. And it concerned Alexander.“We just know some inside information,” Leon spoke up with a smirk on his face. He could see that Robin was very interested in what they had to say. So, he was definitely going to use that information to get Robin to work for them.“What do you know?” Robin asked, raising the gun at Leon.“Well, you and I know you are not gon
With a cold look on his face, Robin walked into The Red Club via the VIP entrance. He didn’t have to wait too long to be provided a VIP lounge because Mac had everything ready.One thing he wanted to do was to take ownership of the club but then he was expecting something mysterious to happen.For a while now, he had been asking the system if there was something hidden about the club but the system wouldn’t even give him a reply.All he had to do now, was take note of what was happening around him and take necessary steps accordingly.A few minutes later, we were all settled in a private VIP lounge while Rico stood outside the door. Surprisingly, Mac had ordered some alcohol which brought not so good memories for Robin.The last time he drunk himself to stupor was when he found out that Durk was still living as a freeman.Up till this moment, he had not been able to tell Mac that Durk was now living as Rick under the Hamiltons’ protection. Robin didn’t know how Mac would react to that
“What…what? We don’t have that.” The manager said with a shaky tone as he looked at Robin with a suspicious look.“Those are private rooms and we are not authorized to monitor them.” He added, looking away from Robin but he had his hands clenched into tight fists due to fear.“Do you think I do not know what you do, huh?” Robin asked with a threatening look in his eyes.“What?” The manager asked with wide eyes.“I know you have lots of hidden cameras in those rooms and then you deceive them that the rooms are free of surveillance, right?” Robin asked with a wicked smirk on his face. He stepped toward the manager with a dangerous aura, looking down on him.“How did you know that?” The manager asked, shocked.“Don’t ask me questions! Pull up that footage right now! Else, you will get fired!” Robin threatened with a serious look. He looked really mean at this moment and quickly the manager moved toward his computer and started to type rapidly.But then, Robin did not really know about th
Robin stood in the parking lot for a few moments, in confusion. If the trade had not taken place, then it could only mean that Brianna wanted to prepare the goods which was the person they were discussing about.In the next second, he got into his car and drove speedily in Brianna’s direction. If the good/victim was still with her, then Robin thought it would be easier to save the victim. Stepping on the accelerator, he spotted Brianna’s car and drove after it and then gave it a considerable distance.“System, can you give me an overview of what is happening in Brianna’s car?” Robin asked with a serious look in his eyes. He couldn’t even see what was going on in there since car windows were tinted.With a frown on his face, Robin was a bit troubled and he wanted to know what his opponent got.[YES, ROBIN CLAIRE, RIGHT AWAY!]The system said and that was an easy thing for it to do. There was a loading message on the system screen as Robin patiently waited for the footage.In the next s
“I’ll send you a location and you will deliver the gun and then back off.” Robin ordered as he swerved his car onto another road, away from the dusty road. He stepped on the accelerator and for a moment, he looked behind him to see that Jared was not close.“Yes, boss. But do you need any help on-” Rico started to say in concern but Robin cut him off immediately by ending the call. Never would he let his subordinates involve themselves in danger. After all, he had to fulfill the mission alone.Speedily, Robin drove toward the pickup location for the gun. He wasn’t going to confront Jared head on but he was going to protect himself at all cost. He didn’t mind doing a great deal of harm to someone like Jared, especially when he was just trying to save a victim.Ten minutes later, he drove to the location. It was an abandoned garage and the area had no security cameras in sight. Guns were illegal in the city and it was a bit surprising that Rico could get one with ease. However, that was
“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
