Chapter 497 I Don't Want Moncy, I Want Lives!
Chapter 497 I Don't Want Money, I Want Lives! Debts must be paid. Blood for blood.
Ashton gasped, sucking in a sharp breath.
He took several shaky steps back, his face drained of color.
The huge campus was dead silent, with hundreds of onlookers watching.
s
The air was tense. The confident, self-righteous arrogance Ashton had shown earlier was completely gone.
Now he just stared at Robin's calm, striking face, his eyelids twitching wildly.
Debts must be paid. Blood for blood.
This general was talking about taking lives.
If an ordinary person had said something like that, no one would've taken it seriously,
At most, they'd assume it was just a hotheaded threat.
But coming from Robin, those words were terrifyingly real.
Ashton understood that this was not some random man,
This was a national-level figure, someone way out of his league.
He never thought he would become involved in something like this.
And the worst part? He'd taken the Sloans' side, speaking with complete self-assurance,
The Sloans? In the presence of such individuals, the Sloans seemed insignificant.
Ashton felt a surge of regret so intense, it twisted his stomach.
If he'd known that Isla's family had friends this powerful, he would have been the first to step forward and crush those vicious girls from his school.
To be honest, he'd seen the video of Lilly and the other girls tormenting Isla, and even he had thought they weren't just mean girls-they were monsters. His gut reaction had been that kids like that deserved whatever was coming to them.
They ought to be punished severely, made to pay for what they'd done.
But he had chosen to side with the monsters instead.
It was easy to act like a beast, but trying to be a decent human being?
That was a hell of a lot harder.
Now, as the crowd realized who Robin, Freya, and Talia were, many people pulled out their phones,

pointing their cameras at the three of them.
s
In an instant, Robin, Freya, and Talia-the striking trio-became the center of everyone's attention.
Any one of them alone could easily crush the Sloans..
But here they were, all three of them-each one more powerful than the last.
Freya was absolutely right.
When it came to bullying, they were the Sloans' worst nightmare.
Crushing the Sloans would be as easy as stepping on an ant.
The once stifling, oppressive atmosphere of the campus was now buzzing with anticipation.
Everyone was waiting, hoping that justice would finally be served.
"Kneel in front of Isla!" Robin's cold voice rang out.
Ashton didn't hesitate. He ran over to Isla's lifeless body and dropped to his knees..
Jimmy looked around, then quickly followed suit, kneeling next to Ashton.
He knew this was one of those survival skills Ashton had probably picked up over years in his position.
When you have to kneel, you kneel. If you want to stay on top, pride is a luxury you can't afford.
It was something he knew he'd need to learn.
Meanwhile, Ashton was silently praying, hoping that the Sloans-and the powerful figure backing them- could somehow negotiate their way out of this with the intimidating trio standing before him.
The last thing he wanted was to be crushed like a bug in a clash of titans.
Suddenly, a roar of motorcycle engines grew louder and closer.
The heavy rumble filled the air as several luxury cars pulled up in front of the school

All the parents and media reporters turned to look.
gates.
A woman in her thirties stepped out of one of the luxury cars, dressed in designer clothes, exuding wealth and sophistication.
Beside her stood an 11- or 12-year-old girl.
This was Lilly, the main bully, and her mother, Madison.
Four burly bodyguards flanked the mother and daughter.
Behind them, three more luxury cars had pulled up, each carrying a mother-daughter pair-the other three girls involved in the bullying of Isla.

Further back, Rygar and Shawn were following at a distance.
As Madison got out of the car, she didn't bother acknowledging the other parents.

Instead, she immediately took out her phone and checked her reflection, adjusting her makeup with an air of casual indifference.
Every gesture and movement emanated the aura of a woman accustomed to having the world at her feet.
Her entire posture screamed, "I am the most powerful woman here."
After touching up her makeup, Madison scanned the crowd with a look of impatience.
She swayed her hips as she walked toward the gathering, her body language like that of a snake gliding through grass.
The sound of high heels clicked against the ground.
With each sway of her hips, Madison's heels went "click-clack" in the silent campus, her steps leisurely. casual, as if she were strolling by the lake rather than here to deal with a serious issue. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Madison sauntered over to where Robin and the others were standing.
She batted her long fake eyelashes and looked at him with mild disdain. "So, you're the parent of that girl who killed herself?"
When no one responded, Madison sneered. "It's just one dead kid, right? Is all this fuss really necessary? You're making it seem like we're the unreasonable ones here. "Let's be real, I know what this is about. You people just want money, don't you?
"Fine, I'll give it to you. Twenty thousand? Will that do?" Madison looked at Robin, irritation clear on her face.
When he still didn't respond, she rolled her eyes and upped the offer. "Fifty thousand, then! I can transfer it to you right now if that'll get this over with."
Her arrogance was laid bare in every word, every movement, as if she were flaunting it for all to see.
Talia's fists clenched at her sides, and she looked ready to storm over and punch Madison right in her smug face.
Behind Madison, her four bodyguards smirked as they sized up Robin, Talia, and Freya, their eyes flashing with open mockery.
Robin raised an eyebrow, his voice laced with sarcasm How about I give you 50,000 to kill your daughter? He pointed at Lilly, who was still smirking at Isla's lifeless body. Madison's expression darkened in an instant.
Before she could respond, one of her bodyguards, Hadwin Moreno, stepped forward, pointing at Robin. "Watch your mouth, kid, or this won't end well for your
Robin's smile turned amused. "Mercenary experience, huh?"

Hadwin gave a cocky shrug. "Fought in Ardenia for four years. My buddies and I all came here straight from the front lines. If you don't want to end up in a body bag, you'll do what Mrs. Sloan says." Madison chimed in impatiently, "Well? How much is it going to take to make this go away? Name your price."
"One hundred thousand or less, and I'll transfer it right now," she said, taking out her phone as if she were ready to make the payment.
She gave Robin a dismissive smile. "All this for a little extortion? Honestly, even if your kid hadn't died. I'd still throw a little money your way out of pity."
She shared a smug glance with Lilly, then looked down at Isla's body.
Lilly couldn't hold back a laugh. "Hahaha..."
The other three girls joined in. giggling as if it were all some big joke.
"I don't want money." Robin's voice cut through the laughter, sharp and clear.
Madison scoffed, "If you're not after money, then what is all this? Just wasting everyone's time? This is ridiculous!
"I have an appointment for a full-body treatment later. This has already eaten up too much of my day. If you don't want the money, then we're leaving!"
She grabbed Lilly's arm and turned to walk toward the gate.
"I don't want money. I want lives." Robin's voice, cold as
of my day. If you don't want the money, then we're leaving!"
She grabbed Lilly's arm and turned to walk toward the gate.
"I don't want money. I want lives." Robin's voice, cold as death, froze the entire campus in silence.
