Ivy was caught off guard when Lance called on the city SWAT team to deal with Robin.

She had seen Robin's strength in the underground before, but standing up to the official forces of the Demberna government was a different story.
They were in the Vicks' territory, and the government had long been under their influence.
Ivy hesitated whether she should inform Leonardo in case Robin needed backup.
Annie watched Robin from the corner of her eye, eager to see his reaction if the Terenova SWAT gor involved.
Two minutes later, 30 heavily armed officers marched in, taking formation in the hall's center.
Lance and his group quickly approached them. "Captain Patel, thank you for overseeing this festival's security. We feel reassured with you here.
"However, there's been a slight incident-a few thugs used underhanded means to sneak in, assaulted Mr. Hersey, and badly injured our actress Amanda. Please handle them." Meanwhile, Max stood in front of Robin and Brenda, taunting, "Brenda, I wanted to introduce you to Mr. Lance, but you've shown no respect.
"If you regret it, I might still help you plead with him-as long as you agree to visit his villa tonight-
*Suddenly, a loud smack echoed through the hall as Robin slapped Max, sending him sprawling in front of
Lance
"You trash! If you dare to be arrogant again, I'll crush your"
Robin's swift action left everyone in shock, especially Annie, who couldn't hide her excitement.
This man doesn't disappoint me!
Only a real big shot dared to openly take action in front of the SWAT team.
Ivy watched, initially tense but then relieved. She knew Robin wasn't the type to act without a reason, so his confidence must mean he had a solid plan.
Glancing at Lance with a smirk, she thought he was about to make a fool of himself.
Lance, stunned, observed Robin's move, then laughed and shrugged at the directors beside him. "This guy is hopelessly defiant."
He then turned to Cyrus. 'Captain Patel, just look at his attitude. Do something to him."
All eyes turned to Robin, who stood calmly under the bright lights, wiping his hands as if swatting a bug.
"Is he crazy!"
"Provoking the SWAT team right in front of them-he's out of his mind!"

"He'll get what he deserves."
"He probably has never suffered a loss!"
"He clearly doesn't know who he's dealing with!"
For years, the Vicks had built strong ties in Terenova, especially with the mayor, Douglas, and hosting the Terenova Film Festival was a way to further boost the mayor's influence,
Of course, the SWAT team was here to ensure order. But now, Robin had openly confronted Max as if challenging their authority.
They believed Cyrus wouldn't let it slide.
In everyone's opinion, Robin was doomed today.
With his face swelling, Max yelled, "Captain Patel, did you see that? This thug is way out of line! He needs serious punishment!"
Anticipation hung in the air as the crowd waited for the SWAT to react.
Everyone expected to see Robin quickly subdued by the officers. Yet, the 30 SWAT members remained still, standing in the center of the hall.
Cyrus looked at the calm Robin and said indifferently, "Mr. Lance, I can't arrest him."
"What?" Lance and the other celebrities were in disbelief.
"Captain Patel, what did you say?"
Cyrus repeated coldly, "I can't arrest him!"
"Why?" Lance asked in confusion.
The celebrities and big shots were also confused.
Robin had just caused a commotion, challenging both Lance and the SWAT, yet Cyrus refused to act
What was going on?
Lance chuckled. "Captain Patel, don't you have a responsibility to keep this event secure?
"He caused a disturbance. It's your duty to arrest him, isn't it?"
Cyrus said expressionlessly. "It's none of your business I only follow orders from the government!"
Lance shrugged and smiled. "Alright, if that's the procedure, I'll make a quick call to my father and have Mr. Douglas give you a direct command."

Lance's words were only to give himself a way out:

Everyone could tell Cyrus had no interest in Lance's suggestion, clearly not giving it any importance.
Several industry big shots around Lance understood people's nature well and sensed that something significant was unfolding.
Cyrus had firmly declined to act against Robin, saying he'd only follow the government's orders, leaving a lot unsaid
They glanced at Robin, feeling a shiver.
In this tense moment, while most people would be terrified and confused, Robin stood there calm and composed. It was a level of poise few from humble backgrounds could achieve. www
When the SWAT team entered Dome's main hall, Robin boldly struck Max, showing not just bravado, but a steady confidence in his control over the situation.
His actions were more than just a rebuke to Lance-they were a clear message to Cyrus, the SWAT captain.
Cyrus, on his part, looked at Robin with something like reverence.
Those big shots couldn't help but feel unease.
Despite their social savvy, they felt nervous about choosing sides. They realized a misstep here could mean the end of their careers or worse.
Annie, who stood by Robin, couldn't help but smile at her sharp judgment.noveldrama
She looked at him again with admiration.
Robin was exceptional, that much was clear. Though he didn't flaunt his power, he possessed a strength few dared to challenge.
Annie noticed that if anyone threatened Brenda or Marrisa, Robin wouldn't hesitate to defend them.
His bold confidence was electrifying, and she silently resolved to secure a place in his world, knowing the value of a powerful ally in the entertainment industry. Watching from a distance, Alison could only manage a bitter smile. She couldn't help but feel ashamed, recalling the underhanded moves she'd made previously. As she looked at Robin next to Brenda, a wave of envy washed over her.
Brenda's innocence and honesty left Alison feeling ashamed.
She, who once thought herself so clever, realized she had been nothing but a foolish joke.
Alison observed Lance, who was frantically calling his father, then shifted her gaze to Robin's calm. composed dermeanor

Shaking her head, she muttered to herself, "He's biting off more than he can chew.

In her mind, she replayed the downfall of the Harlows from the previous day, feeling that if Lance didn't stop, his family would be next. Cyrus' attitude made it unmistakable-Robin was untouchable, and even the mayor, Douglas, wouldn't be able to interfere.
Yet, Lance, oblivious to these undercurrents, believed his father's arrival would change everything.
Little did he know that even with Penn and Douglas there, it wouldn't make a difference.
Arrogance only led to ruin.
Lance quickly called his father. "Dad, where are you?" he asked urgently.
There's a situation here. I wanted Captain Patel to take action, but he said he needs Mr. Douglas" approval
Penn chuckled on the other end. "Don't waste Captain Patel's time on this. I'll be there shortly, and Mr. Douglas is with me.
For now, get our security to hold him. We'll settle this afterward."
"Alright." Lance glanced back at Cyrus, who remained expressionless.
"Captain Patel, I'll have them restrained for now. Once Mr. Douglas arrives, you can take over. Amour, restrain that guy!"
Following Lance's orders, 40 of the Vicks' guards moved in to encircle Robin, Brenda, and the others.
Just then, Cyrus commanded coldly, "Action!"
Thirty SWAT officers immediately raised their weapons, aiming directly at the Vicks guards. A shocked silence fell over the hall as everyone processed the scene. What was going on?
In the quiet hall, Cyrus' icy voice cut through the silence. "Anyone who steps forward will be shot on the spot!"
Lance's jaw dropped in shock, struggling to comprehend the situation.
Others were equally bewildered.
"What's happening here?" someone whispered in confusion.
"Isn't the SWAT team supposed to help keep things under control for the festival? Why are they aiming their guns at the Vicks' security?"
"If you didn't know better, you'd think these were Robin's people," murmured another..
Still, at a loss, Lance finally asked, "Captain Patel, what do you mean?"

Cyrus responded with a steely tone, "Simply put, if anyone tries to lay a hand on Mr. Ramsey, I'll give the command to shoot."
