Robin, alongside his worker, Gerald who had come to alert him, rushed to the large garage space where his logistics company was located.His eyes dimmed seeing the notice from the school's authorities in his office. He was seated behind a desk, in a large space. "You have been summoned, boss! What do you think they want?" Gerald asked, with a shiver. Robin had put him in charge of the logistics company a while ago and ever since then, his life had changed. He was also a poor boy but now, he could spend on things he was frugal with before. "They just want trouble." Robin replied with a snort as he threw the notice aside. There wasn't anything important in the notice, just that they wanted his presence. Even though he knew they wanted trouble, he knew that he couldn't just ignore the notice. His studentship was at stake and even though he didn't really need to go to school, anymore, he was still greatly interested in completing college. "How is the company's revenue now?" Robin ask
"What is going on?" The director asked with a frown as he shut up to his feet. His eyes widened in shock, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. Several students were stationed outside the dormitory block and it was obvious that there was an ongoing contest. "This is the cause! It was posted on the school's forum that the school is planning to shut down Claire's Logistics as well as dismiss Robin from school. The students are out protesting against that decision!" The receptionist said with a shaky voice. "What did you say? What the fuck did you just say? How did that get out? No one knew about us summoning Robin here except you and all of us!" The director thundered, in anger while the receptionist flinched. It was hard talking to the director on normal days and now, it was extremely hard to even talk to him. "Who posted that shit! Tell me!" He yelled while the chancellor and the two secretaries present stood up to their feet. The director continued to yell with an uncouth att
"Hi, Mr. Robin. As you can see, I'm attending to an important patient. I would like you to come back later." The doctor spoke up as soon as he saw Robin walk in. He wondered if Robin had not been stopped outside. But Robin was not even listening to the doctor anymore. He walked straight to the 'important patient' and stretched his hand toward him. "Hi, Mr. Alexander Hamilton, it's so nice to meet you. I have heard a lot about you." Robin greeted, with a smile on his face. His eyes twinkled and he blessed the heavens for this coincidental meeting. "And who are you?" Alexander replied with a gruff voice. He was an old man, probably in his mid-fifties. However, he looked really sick and frail. His eyes were a bit downcast and he looked like someone who had been lonely for a long time.Immediately, something clicked in Robin's head. If Alexander was the one who was really after his company, he was going to get closer to him using his weakness. However, Robin failed to know what Alexa
"Doctor..." Robin called out as he walked into the doctor's office. He had received a report that they carried out surgery on Mac's face already. He had to pay using his system balance and he paid a sum of $4,000 for the surgery. It was a small amount and Robin did not even blink twice before wiring the money to the hospital's account. As soon as the doctor looked up to see Robin, he frowned. He couldn't forget his last encounter with him and Mr. Alexander.It may have turned out that Robin would cause him to lose a huge client and patient."Mr. Robin..." The doctor called out with a frown.On the other hand, Robin could read the room and he put on an amicable smile on his face. "I'm sorry about the other day, Doctor." Robin said with a slight bow of his head. "Oh, you are?" The doctor said, with a snort. "You know you might have caused me to lose him as my patient, right?" He asked and Robin nodded with a grimace. "I'm sorry about it, doc. I will put in good words for you." Rob
"Shit!" Ryan cussed as they rushed down the hallway to the last office on the last floor. As soon as they got into the office, Robin saw several tech guys tapping away at their computer screens while they had panicked looks on their faces. "What's going on?" Robin stepped forward to ask. He was the boss now, so he had to take responsibility. However, none of the tech guys answered him. Instead, they looked toward Ryan with apprehensive looks. "Well, Boss Ryan. Someone has broken into our security wall and is trying to steal our users' data and private information. This could be disastrous if successful." The head technician in the office stood up to say. He had tried all he could to stop the attack but every firewall he built to safeguard against the attacks, was being broken down in seconds. "Woah..." Ryan let out, with a confused look. "We have no way of securing anything? Why don't we put off the computer? We can put off the internet right away, right? As long as the computer
"What do you think?" Robin asked with raised brows as he looked at Ryan, coldly. "Uhmm, well..." Ryan let out as he scratched his head, slightly. "I want the position. So, can I have it?" He asked and Robin chuckled. "This is so unlike you, Ryan." Robin replied, folding his arms behind his back. "What do you mean?" Ryan asked, stutteringly. "You were begging me all over the place to come get the company and now, you want a position in the company. You were even skeptical about taking the offer. Am I right?" Robin asked and Ryan nodded. "Why the sudden change?" He asked."I... I see you have skills and I'd love to work under someone like you." Ryan said, quickly. He put on a smile and he wanted to gravitate toward Robin. His plans couldn't be changed at all. The thought of not getting his company back later on baffled him so much. "I don't want you to work under me, Ryan." Robin replied, finally. "What?" Ryan asked, in shock."You are better off heading your family business. Yo
Robin was quick to curtail his look of surprise as he looked at Angie from head to toe. She was dressed in a black dress and she had silver heels on. The sight of her would cause any man to look at her twice and even get attracted to her but then Robin looked at her, coldly. "What do you want here?" He asked. He had already expected that she would show up and he was diligently expecting her. He wanted to ask her a few questions so that he could clear himself of the doubt about what he found out. "Uhmm, I'm here to pick you up for the party." Angie said with a wide smile on her face. "Ohh..." Robin replied with raised brows. He wondered why she was so happy after she had gone through such a great ordeal recently. "Are you okay?" He asked not because he really cared about her. He just wanted her to spill whatever was on her mind. "Yes... I'm okay." Angie replied, surprised by Robin's sudden care. But even though she was a bit suspicious of his actions, her girly heart fluttered at
As Robin greeted Ryan with a smile, Ryan looked back at him with a gaze full of anger and hatred. There was a sudden tension between them and the next second, he turned to look at his grandfather. "Grandpa, who is he?" Ryan asked with a frown as he pointed at Robin. By questioning the old man with that stance, he showed utmost disrespect and disapproval of the old man's order. "Go sit somewhere else, Ryan, and don't disobey your grandfather. Someone who appeared to be Ryan's father ordered, sternly. He still had to find favor in his father's eyes to let his son take over the company soon. But that same son, Ryan, wanted to ruin all of his efforts. Robin looked up in surprise, as he noticed the resemblance between that person and Ryan. It was the person he saw a while ago and he found familiar. He realized that the person was actually Ryan's father and that was why he couldn't place the person's face in his memory. At the same time, he wondered whether Ryan was the grandson that Al
“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
