<b>Finished </b>
The moment the ck Faith Order’s guardian uttered those words, every noble, official<b>, </b>and merchant <b>in </b>Gyro Castle was struck with dread.
In this region, the ck Faith Order reigned supreme.
They were the direct voice of the Crownward Syndicate, wielding absolute authority–even over life and death.
If they wanted you dead, you wouldn’t survive the next hour.
And yet, not long ago, they’d all seen Robin send Evander flying with a single p.
Some had also heard Caius mention how Robin and Daphne had entered a store and exchanged Bloodshade Fruit for three million Netheris coins.
In fact, after hearing about it, several wealthy merchants quietly visited the store the <b>very </b>next <b>day</b><b>, </b>offering huge sums for the same fruit.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper had sold one for five million Netheris coins–and tly refused to part with the second.
In the Netheris Domain, there was only one kind of person who could retrieve Bloodshade Fruit from the Dark Woods: Peak Warrior of the Dark Syndicate.
Not even the ck Faith Order’s guardians—or their presiding high priest–coulde out of that ce alive.
With that kind of power, who would still question whether Robin was truly a leader of the Crownward Syndicate?
Caius frowned slightly. “Guardian, I ask you to listen for a moment. I believe this may be a misunderstanding.”
Then, he pointed coldly at Evander, who was hiding beside the Guardians. “Mr. Ravenscroft, it’s one thing to be confused yourself–but if you misled the guardians and caused a disaster, even your affiliation with the ck Faith Order won’t save you. You wouldn’t live to see tomorrow.”
Evander gave a chillingugh. “Lord Virelli, what exactly are you trying to pull by sheltering strangers of unknown origin?
“The sect leader dispatched the four guardians for a reason.
“You’ve long harbored resentment toward the ck Faith Order. You’ve been heard multiple times in the great hall using the Order of deceiving the people of Gyro Castle with false teachings<b>–</b>and ming us for the city’s misery and poverty.
“Lord Virelli, you’d best reflect carefully on your actions.
“These two unknown individuals–I suspect they’re remnants of the Light Syndicate.
“If that’s true and proven, your entire family will be purged down to the ninth generation.
“Every single official and wealthy merchant in your keep will be publicly executed. Can you <b>bear </b>the

weight of that?”
“You–you speak nothing but lies!” Caius was shaking with rage.
The officials standing behind him recoiled a few steps, stunned by what they were hearing..
They realized instantly that Evander must have badmouthed Caius to the ck Faith Order, trying to rece him with someone more obedient.
They just hadn’t had the right opportunity–until now.
With the arrival of these two outsiders, the order finally had a pretext to move against the Rivers and strip them of all power.
It was a trick the ck Faith Order had used many times before.
Any lord across the two dozen cities under their influence–if even slightly disobedient–<b>was </b>purged to thest rtive under some manufactured charge.
And those gathered here knew that they might be dragged down with him if they didn’t distance themselves from Caius now.
These shrewd officials and merchants had long seen through the setup.
They couldn’t be sure whether Robin and Daphne were true leaders of the Crownward Syndicate.
But the fact was, the ck Faith Order’s four guardians were all present–and that meant anything could happen.
Each guardian was a Peak Warrior.
To them, crushing a low–ranking Dark Syndicate leader would be as easy as swatting a fly.
This city was remote, far from the capital of the Netheris–thousands of miles away.
Even if Robin was a genuine leader of the Dark Syndicate, if the four guardians killed him, who would ever find out?
“You worthless scum,” Robin sneered. “I allowed you to walk like a man, and you still chose to crawl like a dog.
“If you’re so desperate to die, you should’ve just said so earlier–I wouldn’t have wasted the past few days letting you breathe.”
Robin stepped forward, shielding Caius behind him as he advanced on Evander.
The officials and nobles of Gyro Castle stared at Robin’s back in silence, their expressions mixed and
uncertain.
The aura he exuded–unyielding/and regal–was unmistakably that of a king.
At that moment, no one could doubt he might be the real leader of the Crownward Syndicate.
But what would he do next, facing the ck Faith Order’s four guardians?

The chief among them narrowed his eyes and nced at Evander. “This is the impostor pre prike offe one pretending to be a leader?”
Evander, already trembling under Robin’s murderous gaze, forced himself to nod. “Yes, Guardian Kill him!”
The chief guardian turned to Robin. “State your name and present your seal. Otherwise, impersonating a Crownward Syndicate leader earns you one fate–execution by five steers!
“Kneel and repent before the ck Faith Order!”
The moment the words left his mouth, the surroundingmoners–still kneeling on the ground- shouted in unison. “Kill him! Kill him!”
Daphne looked around at the furious mob, their rage intense as if Robin had desecrated their ancestors‘ graves. She could only shake her head in silent frustration.
These fools! Even <i>if </i><i>they </i>get yed <i>to </i><i>death</i><i>, </i><i>not </i><i>one </i>of <i>them </i>shows a shred of resistance.
Just then, two burlymoners charged forward, attempting to strike at Robin.
“You dare impersonate the leader of the Crownward Syndicate and disrespect the guardians of the ck Faith Order? I’ll kill you!”
Robin chuckled coldly and backhanded the defiant fools. “Then go die.”
Smack! With a single p, he turned the two charging men into a stter of gore on the spot.
The force of his blow, enhanced by the Dragonblood Stone, was unimaginably brutal.
The four guardians stood frozen, stunned at what they’d just witnessed.
To kill two men thatrge and muscr in a single blow … even they couldn’t do that.
They had never seen such terrifying killing power.
As Robin withdrew his hand, the mob of angry civilians immediately fell silent.
They turned to the four guardians, eyes wide with panic, awaiting their response.
Caius quickly stepped forward. “Guardians, please–you mustn’t take Evander’s words at face value.”
The chief guardian snorted coldly. “Lord Virelli, our Order is purging a fraud of unknown origin. Are you really defending him?
“If he turns out to be a remnant of the Light Syndicate, every official in Gyro Castle will be executed- families and all!”
Caius and the others immediately/fell silent.
The chief guardian wasn’t bluffing–and they all knew it.
Evander sneered. “Now, do you understand how serious this is, Lord Virelli?”
The words had barely left his mouth when a blur of motion shed past. Ro‘ had seized Evander by the

throat.
“You worthless insect,” Robin growled. “You dare provoke me? How many lives do you think you’ve got?
Dic.”
Crack!
With a savage twist, Robin snapped Evander’s neck.
Then, he hurled the corpse like a ragdoll toward the city wall.
A spray of blood erupted as the body mmed into the stonework, leaving nothing but a mangled smear.
Gasps rippled through the crowd.
The remains were stuck fast to the wall, which was about <i>65 </i>feet high and nearly 300 feet away from where Robin had stood.
The ck Faith Order’s four guardians could not match that kind of power.
The square in front of the inn fell into breathless silence.
Everyone waited to see what Robin would do next.
He slowly turned to face the four guardians of the ck Faith Order.
The chief guardian’s face shifted instantly, his tone bing respectful. “Sir, clearly there’s been <i>a </i>misunderstanding. Perhaps we could discuss this more calmly inside the castle?”
Robin gave a faint, cold smile. “You think you have the right <i>to </i>sit at the same table as me?
“You’re ants. Kneel.”
