"You... You... What are you? What have you done? What the fuck are you?" Frayer sobbed as she clutched her wife's hand. He wanted to call Robin's words nonsense, but the creases and white hair on her head said otherwise.
He couldn't believe someone could do such a thing to another person. This was real life. This is not a fantasy. Buckley, who witnessed this, felt his knees buckle. He couldn't fathom how someone could be capable of doing something like this.
Wasn't this something his kids talked about? Why was this happening in real?
"Your wife accidentally killed a family and left a boy orphan in Bali while your family was on vacation on May, 2019. And, in order to avoid jail time, you not only fled the country the next morning, but you also failed to assist the orphan who lost not only his parents, but also his limbs in the accident. I can overlook the fact that it was an accident because those situations are beyond anyone's control, as well as the fact that you wanted to avoid being in prison. But despite having all the money in the world, you didn't even bother to care for the child." Robin said. The more he talked the more Frayer had the tears running down his face stop and had his jaw drop.
'This guy... This guy.. Knows everything.'
"You inquired about my identity. Consider me to be your karma. So, Mr. Frayer, tell me. Do you want to be treated the same as your wife, or do you want to outlive her?" Robin wondered aloud. Frayer's tongue was tied. When Robin appeared in his home with a scythe on his shoulder by a woman, he thought he was ready to accept death and make sure he took down Robin and his gang if he ever died. But when Robin mentioned taking away his years like his current wife, his body tensed up involuntarily.
He still had many years ahead of him. He still needed to gain more power. He wasn't about to give up on this materialistic world so easily. The expression on his wife's face confirmed his desire to live.
"What? What must I do to survive?" Frayer inquired.
"Cancel the search warrant. I can do it myself, but I'd rather have you do it. Dealing with the police is a chore." Robin stated. Frayer quickly took out his phone and called the judge to inform him that he wanted to cancel the warrant and summon back the police officer. It only took a few minutes and a lot of talking for the conspiracy to come to an end.
Buckley just sighed on the inside as he looked at his colleague. Looking at his aged wife had a profound effect on him.
"I'm surprised you didn't use any deception or cry for help in the call. I would have shown you hell if you had done so." Robin smiled as she spoke. Frayer simply shook his head in disbelief. He was really terrified of Robin to the core.
Robin removed a scrap of paper from his small bag and placed it on the table. He motioned Buckley and Frayer to the page. They both slowly took the page and began reading. They felt as if the ground had just slipped away from them after a few seconds.
The information on the page astounded them and made them realise for the first time how powerful Robin was. The page contained information on powerful families such as the Rockefeller family, the Rothschild family, the Getty family and others.
This page detailed their current net worth, their properties around the world, and their influence over investment firms. Those families have a strict policy of remaining anonymous. However, this did not imply that they lacked market power. They were the actual bosses of the companies because they had more clout in the organisation.
Those families were brutal, and they had built an empire over many decades. These families were the ones who actually spun the world economy's wheel by investing in Blackrock and Vanguard. Of course, nothing like that was shown on paper, but people at the highest levels of management were aware of it but never discussed it.

Frayer and Buckley knew what was written on the paper was true because some of the points they themselves knew but never spoke about in public. The page contained all of the information and the amount of power those in power held in various institutions.
"How... How.. How do you know this? How could you even know such detailed information about those families?" Buckley asked in a frantic tone.
"Heh! This minor detail surprised you so much? I have a longer version in which I can pinpoint every crime committed by the families over the last three decades. I admit that the earlier times are a little hazy for me, but I have enough evidence to sentence them to life imprisonment and the death penalty in some states across the country, and that includes each and every member of the families. And if you think the law will protect them, think again. I just made fun of one of the world's most powerful countries. I can kill them with a simple command and no one will know what hit them." Robin said this calmly.
Buckley and Frayer were deafeningly quiet. They were at a loss for words in response to Robin's words. Buckley was optimistic before. He hoped that once he accepted Robin's offer and regained his 'life,' he would retaliate with everything he possessed. But this paper simply refuted everything. He was a colossus that not even the most powerful families would be able to handle.
The real world was ruled by a small group of people, and this guy simply squeezed the necks of these men with tight grips. The dangerous part was that these powerful men and women had no idea they were being watched through a crosshair.
"You do understand why I am telling you all this, right?" Robin asked. Both of them instantly nodded without a thought.
"Its because you don't want us to betray you." Buckley said. There was no turning back at this point. If they wanted to live they would have to live by the words of this demon or else their life was doomed in the most cruel way possible. Robin smiled in affirmation.
Meanwhile, the woman who had fainted regained consciousness. She looked around in perplexity, especially to her husband. Frayer looked at her wife with remorse, fear, and, above all, pity. Robin and his two companions had had enough of talking and began leaving the room, while Frayer held her wife and Buckley just stared at the departing Robin and the two women who still held the massive weapons in their hands.
"Mrs. Frayer, you'll soon realise what happened here, and you'll probably feel hopeless after learning the truth. Allow me to make it simple for you. You only have ten years left to live, but you should be aware that your husband cheated on you three times without your knowledge. Once, when you were in high school, you had a classmate named Eliza. Then at the university with two of his classmates. One was Stefanny, whom you had previously met, and the other was Julie. You can look up additional information and ask them if what I said is correct." Before leaving, Sigret made that huge statement to the frail-looking woman.
The woman, who was already broken, felt as if her life was imploding. What she was hearing was unbelievable to her. Eliza was a good friend, and the other two girls she hadn't met but had heard about from her husband many years ago. She had a great memory and was very protective of her then-boyfriend. So of course she remembered those women.
She had a feeling that whatever the woman said was true.
"A word of advice. You should continue residing with your current husband. Your happiness and well-being are more important for the rest of your meagre life in this world." Sigret said this before disappearing into the adjacent room.
The TARDIS was hidden in the room, and when the three entered it, the TARDIS was gone from the house. Robin and the others were only at Frayer's house for about 30 minutes, but those few moments changed everyone's lives.
It would take a long time for them to process what had just happened, but it would certainly hurt and haunt them for the rest of their lives. They knew that if something went wrong with Robin's plans, he would probably make them wish they were dead.
Making someone old with some strange technology had already set off alarm bells, and who knows what kind of 'magical technology' this guy possessed.
----------------------------------------
"You had to make her life worse, don't you?" Robin asked Sigret as TARDIS was back at his home.
"This woman would hold the grudge against him, making his life miserable and everyday his dying wife would be a reminder of the fact that whatever happened today was real and make him fear you for the rest of his life. His life would soon turn spiteful and I am sure the woman would make sure that even her children would know what their father had done. Mental torture is always more effective than a physical one."
