Chapter 282 Robin's Slaps
Owen's eyes flickered with panic as he overheard Dannis speaking with the president.
If it came to light that he was falsely acting under the President's authority, he'd face more than a demotion.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau would be all over him, digging through every last one of his affairs.

Once that happened, the shady dealings that the Harlows had secured for his deputy attorney general post would be revealed.
His political rivals would seize the chance to finish him
He exchanged a quick look with Axel before turning to Stephanie.
"Madam Stephanie, there are some urgent matters at the Department of Justice that demand my attention. I must take my leave. I'll be sure to pay you a proper visit another day."
Axel, catching on to the situation's gravity, kept his composure but said sternly, "Madam Stephanie, for the sake of you and the Rogarios, I'll let that thug off the hook for now! ""But remember, this is the last time!"
Anna was baffled.
Her two brothers, one a Deputy Commander at the Terenova Defense Headquarters and the other a Deputy Attorney General, had shown up in full force.
She thought they would crush Stephanie and Robin with ease.
It made no sense for them to leave empty-handed now
"Guys!" Anna blocked Axel and Owen's path, her eyes blazing with frustration and anger as she pointed at Robin.
"How can you just let this go? The President has issued orders to deal with this violent incident. He has to be arrested!"
Axel frowned and glanced at Robin, who was now walking toward them.
"Anna, I have urgent tasks to attend to. Let the city's SWAT team handle Robin."
He turned to leave, but Stephanie's cold voice halted him in his tracks.
"Wait a minute!" she said.
"Mr. Owen, Mr. Axel, you guys burst in here, claiming to have orders from the President himself and labeling my honored guest, Mr. Ramsey, as a violent criminal. Don't you think you owe us an explanation?" "What's the hurry, Mr. Axel?
"Didn't you just declare that you were here to take Mr. Ramsey away?"

Axel stopped and responded through gritted teeth, "Madam Stephanie, I have pressing matters to address. I won't pursue this matter any further today.
"But rest assured, the President will ensure justice is served and any violent criminals are brought to
account."
Robin approached with a smirk. "So, you're the eldest son of the Harlows?"
Instinctively, Axel reached for his sidearm. "Yeah?"
Robin scoffed. "Since you arrived, you've referred to me as a violent criminal.
"Don't you think you owe me an explanation? You're rude to walk away like that."
Axel could feel Robin's oppressive aura. "Wh-what do you want?"
"Oh, not much. I just want to show you that you're right.
"But just so you know, no one has ever spoken to me like that without facing any consequences."noveldrama
Before Axel could say anything, Robin had already slapped him hard, sending him sprawling across the floor.
The towering, muscular Deputy Commander was thrown back with one slap.
Instantly, the twenty soldiers who had accompanied Axel raised their guns, aiming at Robin.
The sound of rifles being cocked filled the room.
In response, dozens of Rogarios' guards aimed their weapons at Axel and his soldiers.
Owen stammered anxiously, "Everyone, stay calm... please, stay calm!"
He rushed over to Robin.
"Mr. Ramsey, my brother Axel is the Deputy Commander at Terenova Defense Headquarters. He's just following orders from his superiors-"
"Is that so? Whose order was it?" Robin wiped his hand with a cloth, looking unimpressed.

"Didn't you also say you had orders to arrest me, a supposed violent criminal?"
Owen hadn't expected Robin to talk to him in this tone
"Y-you killed members of the Grimwolf Crew... that makes you a criminal," he said.
Robin raised an eyebrow and tossed the cloth aside.
"So killing those Grimwolf thugs makes me violent? And what about the Harlows, who funded and protected them-doesn't that make them worse?
"Did you consider the consequences when you forged orders to come after me?"
Owen felt guilty and he wanted to use his position as the Deputy Attorney General to pressure Robin.

"How dare you!"
Robin's tone was icy. "Let me show you just how bold I can be!"
And with that, he struck Owen across the face, sending him sprawling to the floor.
A heavy silence fell over the room.
Axel had finally come back to his senses.
s
It was humiliating for him, a Deputy Commander, to be slapped to the ground like a common criminal. With a roar of rage, he pulled out his gun, aiming it straight at Robin as he yelled, "Thug! I don't care who's behind you. I'm killing you today!" His finger tightened on the trigger.
Bang!
A single gunshot rang out.
The bar fell silent.
