Chapter 455 Defying the Untouchables
Robin's sudden move stunned everyone in the crowd.
"This guy's fearless! Doesn't he know who she is?"
"Luna's family is one of the top ten in Brookhaven, the Shaws Group.
65%
"The Shaws have been powerful in Brookhaven for years, with connections in the provincial government and even Brighton's elite."
"The Feron's risen fast recently, some say even overtaking the Shaws
"With a family background and foundation like that, it's not something just anyone can afford to mess with.
"Even though the Ferons and the Shaws both present themselves, as highbrow intellectuals on the surface.
"They put on the airs of intellectuals, but if you cross them, they'll crush you without mercy."
"Does this kid even understand what kind of trouble he's in? He's in way over his head."
A young woman in the crowd overheard and bristled. "He drugged her drink-of course, he deserved to get hit!
"If Luna's a professor, she should know better than to make a scene!"
An older man shook his head. "You're still young, miss. You don't see how the world works yet.
"Someone's title or status doesn't define their character.
"This is a material world. It's all about who has the power. For people who aren't powerful, there's no real justice.
Only those with power get to decide what's right or wrong."
The young woman held her ground. "I refuse to believe everything's about power. Isn't there any decency left in the world?"
A few middle-aged men exchanged looks and shook their heads with a faint smile.
One of them pointed at Jasmine, whispering, "See that lady over there? She's married to the deputy director of the provincial police department.
"She's Ms. Shaws' close friend. Think she should be saying those things?
"Now, take a look at the guy they call Marco. He is the big boss of the gray area in the provincial capital. From your perspective, they shouldn't mix with people like that." The young woman scoffed, "Even if the deputy's wife and Ms. Shaws are over the line, they'd never associate with someone like him-"
Before she could finish, Luna snapped furiously, "You think you're tough, huh?"
She then turned to Scott. "Scott, this insolent little punk is all yours!

"And her! She pointed at Vera with a hateful glare. Tonight, you and the boys can have your way with her. Let's see how pure she acts after that!"
The young woman in the crowd gasped, covering her mouth in horror..
"She's supposed to be an intellectual-how could she say something so vile?"
Robin smirked, grabbing Luna by the hair and slapping her hard.
"You dare hit me? Scott, kill him" Luna shrieked in a frenzy.
Snack! Smack! Smack! His hand met her face with sharp, echoing slaps. The fourth floor fell silent.
No one had expected Robin to act so boldly.
Luna fell silent, too stunned to speak.
Jasmine backed away, terrified.
Even Scott stood frozen, struggling to process what was happening.
Knowing their family's background, he couldn't believe Robin would be this brave.
It took Luna a long moment to snap out of her shock. "Jasmine, call Mr. Harrington. Scott, kill this...
She trailed off, noticing Robin wiping his hands with a napkin, looking utterly unbothered, and swallowed
her words.
Hiding in the back of the crowd, Desmond broke out in a cold sweat, a chill running down his spine as he looked at Robin's impassive face.
The scene at the Wrights' celebration was still burned in his memory.
To be welcomed as a guest by Brookhaven's richest family, to have crushed Landers and the Hamiltons, to magically pull a two-billion-dollar investment from the Hamiltons to the Dunns account-that was the kind of man Robin was How had he dared to think the Ferons and the Shaws could bring down someone as formidable as Robin?
It was simply impossible!
Now, seeing Lincoln and Luna humiliated and broken, Desmond finally understood.
You couldn't play games or go head-to-head with a figure like Robin. It was suicide.
Tonight, the Ferons, the Shaws, and even the deputy director of the police department were finisherl.
No-he couldn't afford to be on the wrong side of this.
At that moment, Scott bellowed in rage, "Take down these punks!"
More than a hundred thugs wielding knives and iron rods started storming up the hotel's stairway to the fourth floor.
Panicking, Desmond pushed his way to Scott. "Scott, wait! You can't do this!"

Scott shot him a cold look. "What do you mean, Mr. Osborne?"
"Just hear me out-" Desmond pleaded, his face pale.
"I don't have time for this. Let me handle these punks first; we'll talk later!" Scott snapped. Desmond waved his hands frantically. "Scott, trust me, apologize to Mr. Ramsey right now!" He hurried over to Robin and Vera.
"Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Silva, I had no idea you were here. If I'd known, I'd have come sooner,"
Robin smiled indifferently, "Oh, Desmond, you've been here all along. Hiding in the crowd, hoping for things to get out of hand, weren't you?" The crowd burst into murmurs.
Scott looked around, confused. What on earth was going on? Was Desmond drunk?
