The young and handsome man standing before her was none other than the feared Divine Drakebane!
While no one had witnessed the carnage atop Kirie Mountain, the higher–ups at ria’s Cab had ensured the bloody details remained hidden.
Still, tales of the Divine Drakebane’s ruthless deeds were well–known.
Brighde forced a shaky breath, her terror barely under control. “Are you .. truly Mr. Drakebane?
“I remember Shania misled you. There must be some sort of misunderstanding here.”
Robin sneered. “You’re not even worth a misunderstanding.”
Brighde had never heard such a remark before. “But we’re on the same level-”
“Don’t think too highly of yourself!” Robin snorted. “By your logic, I’m wealthier, stronger, and more influential. You’re nothing to me.”
Without warning, he pped Brighde away.
The entire hall seemed to freeze. Everyone stared at Robin, their expressions a mix of fear and disbelief.
“How … How dare you hit me!” Brighde clutched her cheek, her voice a mix of rage and shock.
Robin calmly wiped the blood from his hand with a tissue. “Is it illegal to hit you? Weren’t you the one who said those with power and money can do as they please?
“Then what’s the big deal if I hit you? I could even kill you if I wanted.
“Do you think a bit of authority, a few connections, and a flimsy tform give you the right to treat people like dirt?
“All you do is use your position to bully the weak and trample on others. You’re nothing but a disgrace!
“Nine Stars <b>is </b>mine. Who gave you the power to act like a tyrant here, firing people <b>as </b>you
please?<b>” </b>

Robin yanked Brighde’s hair, shoving her face toward Osgar. “Go ahead! Fire him if you dare! You’re just a worthless nobody!
“You sit up high, yet you behave worse than an animal!”
With a thunderous crash, Robin hurled Brighde onto the coffee table in the reception area.
The ss shattered everywhere.
Brighdey amidst the debris, her hair a mess and blood smeared across her face<i>. </i>It took her a moment to catch her breath.
“You thug! My husband is on his way, and he’ll make you pay for this!” she hissed.
Footsteps echoed through the hallway as Eoran, Uas, and Ceach arrived with a squad of officers.
“Honey, that thug not only killed someone but also attacked me! You need to deal with him!” Brighde wailed, deliberately hiding Robin’s identity.
She was sure that Ceach’s status and influence could crush Robin without a hitch.
After all, Eoran had brought along an entire team of armed officers.
What could Robin do, even if he was the legendary Divine Drakebane? Was he supposed to be invincible?
Brighde jabbed a finger at Robin’s back. “Chief Nni, shoot him! Take him down!”
Ceach’s eyes widened at the sight of the blood–sttered office.
“Chief Nni, shoot this thug immediately! How can ria tolerate such chaos?”
Eoran hesitated, stepping back as he recognized the imposing figure in the hall. “Mr. Drakebane?”
Ceach urged impatiently, “What are you waiting for, Chief Nni? Shoot him now!”
Brighde screamed hysterically, “Kill him! Do it now!”
Robin turned slowly, his expression calm. “Ms. Orlov, they wouldn’t dare.”
Eoran asked respectfully, “Mr. Drakebane, what do you need us to do?”
Robin chuckled. “Nothing at all.”
Brighde lookedpletely lost, and Ceach began to sense something was off. Eoran’s polite demeanor made him uneasy.

“Chief Nni, what’s going on? Why aren’t you doing anything?”

“Apologies, Mr. Kavanaugh,” Eoran said with a shrug. “We don’t have the authority to act against Mr. Drakebane. Only higher–ups can handle anything involving him.”
“Divine Drakebane?” Ceach’s face fell as realization hit him.
Brighde rushed over. “Honey, call General Donohuei and Mr. Winterstrike right now!
“So what if he’s the Divine Drakebane? I don’t believe he still has that much power in ria!”
Ceach was sweating profusely as he realized how dire the situation had be.
“Be quiet, Brighde! What … what’s going on here?”
He hadn’t seen the Divine Drakebane’s actions on Kirie Mountain, but the stories circting among ria’s elites matched what Eoran had said.
The higher–ups had indeed ssified the Divine Drakebane as an exceptionally dangerous figure.
Suddenly, noise erupted outside the door.
Conall entered the HR Department hall with a squad of guards and Thorne by his side.
Noticing Ceach still standing there in shock, Brighde frantically waved to Conall and Thorne. “General Donohuei, Mr. Winterstrike!”
Ignoring herpletely, Conall and Thorne hurried over to Robin. “Mr. Ramsey, leave this to us. Just tell us what needs to be done.”
Brighde was stunned. “General Donohuei, what are you doing?
“He’s nothing but a thug! He killed our people and even hit me! You should take him down right now!”
Conall shot her a cold re. “Brighde, how dare you speak to me like that! Stay quiet!”
“But… but General Donohuei, he’s a thug!”
Robin frowned slightly. “Trash! Who gave you the right to call me a thug?
“Thorne, kill her!”
Thorne moved swiftly and grabbed Brighde’s neck. With a sickening crack, he snapped her throat.
Even in herst moments<b>, </b>Brighde, the once–haughty HR executive, couldn’t understand

why her fate had turned so grim.
Ceach quickly bowed. “Mr. Drakebane, please forgive my ignorance.”
Robin ignored him and walked away.

Conall, Thorne, Shania, and the others trailed behind as they made their way to the lobby of the Nine Stars Pharmaceutical Tower.
“Mr. Ramsey, where to next? We’ll escort you,” Conall offered with unwavering respect.
Robin checked his watch. “We’re heading to Sogas Grand Court to observe the trial for the Caffepan counterfeit drug case.”
He turned to Shania and asked, “Are you nning to show up in court in that wheelchair?”
Shania blinked in confusion. “If not in the wheelchair, how else can I go?”
“By walking!” Robin sat in the car and pointed at her. “Enough with the theatrics. Get up! Now!”
