A Rogarios' black-clad guard fired, hitting Axel in the wrist and forcing him to drop his weapon.

At the same time, dozens of the black-clad guards aimed their pistols directly at Axel and his soldiers.

Stephanie's voice was cold and sharp. "Axel, if you dare make a single move, all these bullets will shoot through the Harlows."

Nathan, feeling both shocked and furious, shouted, "Axel, beg for Madam Stephanie's forgiveness!"

Axel, who was putting pressure on his bleeding wrist, refused to budge.

Stephanie stepped forward and stopped in front of him. "Who gave you the nerve to point a gun at my esteemed guest? Ryder, teach him a lesson."

Ryder landed a punch on Axel's face, sending him sprawling to the floor, convulsing in pain.noveldrama

Anna rushed up to Stephanie and screamed, "What's going on? Are you all insane?

"Robin... he's nothing but a lowlife thug!

"Madam Stephanie, are you sure you're not being deceived?

Seven years ago, he was just a homeless lowly bartender here.

"How could he possibly be worthy of being your esteemed guest-"

"Shut up!" Stephanie slapped Anna hard across the face.

"Ignorant brat! The Harlows should be ashamed of you! If Mr. Ramsey hadn't chosen to ignore your petty behavior, your family would already be dead meat!"

At that moment, a man in his thirties with glasses came rushing into the bar, flanked by thirty presidential guards.

The guards lined up in two rows, pointing their guns directly at Axel and his soldiers.

"Drop your weapons and return to Demberoa to face a military tribunal! You'll be executed on the spot if you disobey the order!"

Axel and his twenty soldiers didn't dare to resist the presidential guards' unyielding order.

They had no choice but to surrender their weapons and were led out of the bar.

The man with glasses quickly approached Robin and Stephanie.

"Mr. Ramsey, good evening. I am Jarvis, chief secretary of the president's office. The president is waiting outside and invites you and Madam Stephanie to join him."

Stephanie pointed at Owen and asked, "Mr. Jarvis, I have a question. Deputy Attorney General Owen here claims that he received orders from your office to arrest Mr. Ramsey. Is that true?"

Jarvis turned pale and he trembled. "Madam Stephanie that is absolutely impossible! I swear on my life that no such order was issued."

"Great." Stephanie turned to Owen. "Mr. Owen, I think you owe us all an explanation for your earlier actions."

Owen stammered, "Madam Stephanie, Mr. Jarvis, I received a report of gun violence at Dreamscape Bar, so I... I came here with the Department of Justice's officers."

Jarvis's expression darkened. "Owen, tell me, who ordered you to come to Dreamscape Bar and make these arrests?"

Owen dodged the question. "Mr. Jarvis, I... I honestly didn't know Mr. Ramsey was an honored guest of the President."

"Answer me!" Jarvis demanded icily. "Who exactly ordered you?"

Owen broke out in a cold sweat. "I... I'm sorry, Mr. Jarvis. I—"

Jarvis sneered, "How dare you abuse the President's authority for personal gain?

"Mr. Owen, you'll have plenty of time to explain yourself to the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Take him away!"

The presidential guards immediately dragged Owen and his two officers out of Dreamscape Bar.

Jarvis once again spoke in a respectful tone, "Mr. Ramsey, I apologize on behalf of the President, who has just learned of this matter. Don't worry, you will receive a satisfactory explanation soon. Please, follow me. Robin gave a nod and began to walk outside.

Anna quickly chased after them and called out, "Robin, wait!"

Her eyes filled with tears as she watched his retreating figure.

"Robin, I... I was wrong. Could you please spare my father, for old times' sake?"

Robin paused and frowned. "Old times? I've long forgotten them."

With that, he turned and walked out, tossing the crumpled cloth in his hand over his shoulder, where it struck Nathan squarely in the face.

Nathan, who was in a daze, realized that he could finally stand with shaky legs.

He was filled with regret as he watched Robin's figure fade into the distance.

They had provoked someone of such power today.

A golden opportunity had been utterly squandered by the Harlows' foolishness.

Despair washed over him as he glanced down at the bodies strewn on the floor, then at Anna, who stood in stunned silence,

The Harlows were doomed without Robin's forgiveness.

"Anna, you need to beg for Mr. Ramsey's forgiveness. Beg him to spare the Harlows for the sake of what you once had."

Anna shook her head and murmured, "He had forgotten everything... seven years of us...

Nathan's entire body shook with rage as he slapped Anna hard.

"We're at the end of the line, and you're still thinking about the past? You'd better go and beg him right now for the sake of our family." The slap jolted Anna back to reality.

Nathan spoke bitterly, "Anna, if you don't go plead with Mr. Ramsey, your brothers and the Harlows are as good as dead."

After a moment's hesitation, she turned and dashed out of the bar, shouting after him, "Robin, I was wrong! Wait for me, please!"
