The whole place went silent as soon as Robin said those words. They looked at him like he had gone crazy and some of them even hissed at him. Even Mac had to look at him with skeptical eyes. His friend had not told him he owned a restaurant before. Was this just a stunt?"Do you think this is some random restaurant, Robin?" One of the students asked and Robin shrugged. He had already declared that he was the owner of the restaurant and he didn't think he had to prove himself further. "Of course, it's not." Robin replied, with a calm tone. "Then you must be out of your mind. A place like this cannot be owned by you." Robin heard them say and he chuckled. Inside Robin's mind, he concluded that he must be really out of his mind. "Of course, I am." He replied, nonchalantly. His nonchalant attitude however got them irked and they started to reprimand him. The same Robin who had told Sofia he had no money cannot be the owner of the restaurant. That was what they thought. Sofia also
Ten minutes passed and the Robin's classmates had filed out of the VIP room with their heads bowed in shame. They realized that they had gone against the wrong person while supporting Durk, blindly.If they had not made such mistakes, maybe they would have been granted free passes into the restaurant at any time. Yes! Robin was that generous. "Robin..." Mac called out from behind. He was still standing with his friend in the VIP while the rest walked out. He was the only one who was worthy enough to stand with Robin. "Yes, Mac!" Robin turned around to look at his friend with raised brows. "You must have so many questions, right?" He asked. "Yes! What are you not telling me?" Mac asked with a frown on his face."You are keeping me in the dark! How did you get the Enchanted Plate, all of a sudden?" He asked and Robin chuckled."Mac, you should know that I'll tell you all you need to know, at the right time." Robin replied with a knowing smile on his face. He then tapped Mac's shoul
"You motherfucking liar!" Sofia yelled as she rushed toward Robin who had just stepped out of the restaurant. She had a fierce expression on her face and she was already aiming to attack him with the handbag in her hand. "Hit me, Sofia and you will rot in jail for five years!" Robin threatened with a cold expression on his face. He had tolerated shit from her and he wasn't so stupid to continue that way."What?" Sofia halted her actions in the air. Mac was quick to run forward and push the handbag off her hand. "If you have done your foolish act, do you know how much you would have paid for compensation?" Mac asked with a mocking tone and Robin turned to look at him fleetingly. He was impressed by his friend's words and he could see potential in Mac."You think you both can do anything to me? You can't do shit!" Sofia yelled after summoning courage. Her eyes fleeted from Robin to Mac but they both could detect the fear in them. As Robin looked at her, he felt disgusted within him a
Two days passed and Robin had been feeling so uncomfortable in the dorm room. As videos of him humiliating Sofia had gone viral in the school, different male students had made him their role model. Most of them didn't believe in love anymore and the way Robin handled the situation with Sofia was inspiring to them. "What are you thinking about so deeply?" Mac asked as he came to sit beside Robin. He had successfully sent away the last male student who had come to visit them. "We need to leave this dorm." Robin said with a sigh. He was getting fed up with the attention and he needed a space in which he could work well. Also, his affairs would be easily known to the others and he didn't want that. "Then what are we going to do? We can't possibly leave here, right?" Mac asked, with raised brows. "I'll get a house!" Robin suddenly stood up. He had 15 million dollars to spend and buying a house will be the right thing to do now. "What? Do you know how much a house cost now? Do you?" M
"Boss! We have him!" Three men in black walked in, dragging Mac whose head had been covered up with a black bag. He seemed lifeless. They walked into an abandoned garage and the door shut tightly. Everywhere turned dark with only a dim lighting above Durk's head. "Well, well, well! Look who we have here! The poor boy." Durk said with his eyes shining like lights. His hatred for Robin would finally be satisfied that night. He had ordered Robin to be killed but at the last minute, he changed his mind. He ordered for Robin to be kidnapped and it would give him more room to torture Robin. As soon as Durk stood up to his feet, he ran with speed and his hand tightened. Getting to 'Robin', he sent a punch toward the fake Robin. With glee in his eyes, Durk watched his nemesis fall to the ground, so weakly."What? So, he is not so strong, huh?" He said with a mocking tone. He knew how Robin had tackled him and he knew his enemy wasn't a weak catch. But then he didn't find anything wrong w
"Mac!!" Robin yelled as he rushed toward the shut door of the garage. The gunshots continued again and in anger, he dashed to the door and kicked it. A big dent appeared in the door and without thinking twice, he continued to hit it. With so much force, the door flew open, bursting out from its hinges. Dust rose up in the air, covering Robin's face and for a moment, he couldn't see anything.A few seconds later, light shone into the garage and he saw Mac tied limply to a wooden stand. "Oh, look who is here!" Durk called out with so much glee with a gun in hand. Robin looked from him to Mac and he could see blood spilling from his friend's body."What have you done?" Robin yelled as he rushed into the garage but Durk suddenly raised the gun at him. "If you move, I'll shoot!" Durk threatened and Robin had to halt. If he got shot, he wouldn't be able to survive at all. The whole point of saving Mac would be baseless. "Don't you dare pull the trigger! Else, I'll pull your tongue out!"
With groans of pain and several attempts to get up on his feet, Robin still couldn't. However, his heart was beating in fear and he could still hear the system's voice resounding in his head. QUITTING IS TANTAMOUNT TO FAILURE!The thought of failing and losing everything he owned now, including his friend, Mac was terrifying. "I will not die!" He whispered with red eyes. "What did you say?" Durk asked, mockingly. He looked down at Robin with a smirk and the way he writhed in pain enticed him so much. He had longed so much to have Robin below him and now was the time. He decided to record this moment for keeps sake. As soon as he took out his phone, to take pictures of Robin, he felt a force. Suddenly, the phone went flying a few distances away and Durk could only look on in shock. Before he knew what was happening, he was sent a punch across the face. Blood spurted out of his mouth and when he finally registered what was happening, Robin was already standing up on his feet. He
Robin opened his eyes with a sharp intake of breath and jolted up from the hospital bed. His head whipped around to see himself in a hospital but in the next second, a sudden wave of dizziness hit him. In the next second, he fell back on the bed with a slump. The machines connected to his body started to blare in alarm so much that he felt like he could hear the sound in his brain. "He is awake!" The doctor and nurses rushed into his hospital room with worried looks on their faces. They saw Robin with his eyes open but he was unmoving. His heart rate has spiked up so much and they rushed to bring him back to normal. Robin had suffered a hit in the head, twice and it was a miracle that he didn't get brain damage after everything. "Everything is set, doctor!" One of the nurses said and quickly the doctor started to perform his routine on Robin. He tried to bring his heart rate back to normal. All this while, his hands were tightened around him while the system's screen was display
“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
