Winnie watched as Talia headed straight for the mall's surveillance roomTI.
She immediately pointed at a few security guards and shouted, "Only the police or our own security. department have the authority to access the mall's surveillance footage! "They don't have the right to review our footage, Do not let her into the surveillance room!"
The security guards knew that Winnie was the mistress of Stephen York, the owner of the mall.
They couldn't afford to defy her and promptly moved to block Talia.
Talia, however, flashed her ID and said coldly, "Anyone who dares to stop me will face the consequences!
"This is about proving the innocence of a fallen hero's widow. Step aside!"
The guards froze.
Some of them were former soldiers and, upon learning that Monica was the widow of a fallen hero. immediately moved aside and even led Talia to the surveillance room. Seeing that the guards hadn't stopped Talia and were now helping her, Winnie screamed, "You traitorous idiots! Prepare to be fired!"
One of the guards said helplessly, "Ms. Quigley, we really can't do this. She's an armed officer.
"And she's trying to prove the innocence of a fallen hero's widow. If we stop her, we could face charges."
"Charges?" Winnie let out a bitter laugh.
"Charged with what? What a joke! Does she even know the kind of backing this mall has?
"It's the Yorks of Brighton! And behind the Yorks is the Northlorn Residence. Who should we be afraid of? "She's just a lowly soldier daring to act out on our turf!
"I won't let this slide!"
Winnie's eyes burned with hatred as she pointed at Robin and screamed, "You'll pay for hitting me! Just you wait!"
Robin glanced at his watch. "Alright, Monica's test results haven't come in yet. Go ahead, call whoever you want
Winnie picked up her phone and started crying, "Stephien! I was assaulted by a soldier in our mall's main hall. Get down here now!" Stephen York was none other than the second son of Cohen. He was also the chairman of Springbrooke Group in Harmonfield. Winnie, at 23, had started as a sales associate in the mall.

With her looks and talent for flattery, she managed to seduce Stephen, who quickly promoted her to the position ofreception manager,
Though Stephen treated her as nothing more than a plaything, anyone striking his woman in his mall was as good as striking him and the Yorks. "Winnie, I'm on the fourth floor. I'll be down in a moment, Stephen replied with a yawn, having just finished with his secretary.
"Who the hell dares to act out on York territory? I'll make sure he leaves on a stretcher."
Back in the main hall, the onlookers began to chatter.
"Even soldiers shouldn't steal. A soldier's wife stealing is an embarrassment to the military."
"Ms. Quigley is the reception manager. It's normal for her to stop a thief, even if it's a soldier's wife."
That guy.hit a woman. That's disgusting!"
"If you ask me, someone should call the police already
Among the crowd. Catherine stood watching with a cold smirk playing on her lips as she eyed Robin. Hmph! Just a reckless brute!
What could he possibly accomplish if he acts out over something so minor?
He's nothing more than a dog serving different masters, all muscle and no brains.
"Catherine, what's going on?" A tall, handsome man appeared by her side. It was Zayn, the eldest son of the Westeria Residence.
Catherine pointed toward Robin and said softly, "That's Robin, the new Chief Instructor of the War Wolf
unit
Zayn looked at Robin, who stood surrounded by several women.
It was obvious he'd struck them.
"Robin hit those women?"
Catherine scoffed. "Yes, it's pathetic."
Zayn chuckled. "Someone in his position shouldn't be hitting women. It seems he still lacks discipline. If he were to work under me, I'd have to train him thoroughly. "Anyone who wants to achieve great things shouldn't be this impulsive. Handling matters like this shows a lack of depth.
"This kind of brute force can ruin everything. I'm not too eager to recruit someone like him."
Catherine wanted to mention that Robin had no intention of joining Westeria Residence, but she held her tongue.

Just then, Stephen appeared in the hall with four bodyguards.
Winnie and the other two women rushed to him, crying.
"Stephen, it's that jrk who hit me! Arrest him and cut off his hands!
"Monica stole something, and when I tried to stop her, they attacked me!
"Look at my face. Stephen. He ruined it! You must stand up for me! Boohoo...
"How am I supposed to show my face after this?"
Stephen's eyes fell on Robin. "Who are you with? Do you have any idea what you've done? Assaulting someone in my mall is a death wish!"
Robin smirked. Assault? I've said it already-I'll kill someone if anything happens to Monica's baby!
"All three-women who laid a hand on her are as good as dead!"
"D"mn" Stephen laughed angrily. "And who the hell are you? Are you out of your mind?
"Aren't you afraid you'll bite your own tongue by talking big on the Yorks territory?
"Do you even have what it takes to carry out that threat
Robin said indifferently, "You'll see soon enough."
Stephen scoffed, "Monica was caught stealing. Winnic, as the mall's reception manager, had every right to
intervene."
Robin's face darkened. "Monica is a fallen hero's widow!
Stephen burst into laughter. "So what? She deserves a beating if she steals!"
"Who the hell gave you the courage to insult a fallen hero's widow?" Robin swung his arm, striking Stephen and sending him sprawling to the ground. Stephen hadn't expected Robin to act so suddenly.
He clutched his now swollen face and roared, "How dare you hit me? I'll make sure you die for this!"
"Do you know who I am?" Stephen spat, pointing at Robin. "I'm Stephen York from the Yorks in Brighton! You're going to regret this!"
Robin took slow steps toward Stephen and crouched down. "Are the Yorks really that impressive? To hell with the Yorks! What's wrong with me hitting you?"
He grabbed Stephen by the hair and smashed his head into the hard granite floor.
Crack!
As Stephen's face met the stone, blood splattered everywhere.
The onlookers gasped in horror. No one had expected Robin to be this ruthless.noveldrama

In the crowd, Zayn narrowed his eyes, watching Robin's back with a gaze full of complex emotions.
From an ordinary person's perspective, Robin's actions were beyond reproach.
After all, as a soldier, if your comrade's loved one was brutally attacked, stepping in was only natural.
It would be an unfair case for a soldier's family member to be abused when he was risking his life on the front lines.
Yet, to Zayn, Robin's response was too emotional and naive.
If one wanted to achieve great things, one needed to remain rational, especially at their level.
Petty disputes and standing up for people of no importance shouldn't even be on their fadar.
So what if one or r two peo
people died?
This world was built on the principle of survival of the fittest.
There was nothing that the weak could do if they were oppressed.
No matter how capable Robin was, he was still just one person. Nothing could change this harsh reality.
Monica's status didn't matter, even if she were a soldier's wife.
Without power or influence, she was doomed to endure whatever cruelty life threw at her.
That was her fate.
If Monica had been the wife of a General or someone influential, Zayn wouldn't have hesitated to intervene,
That would be an investment, yielding significant returns.
However, Monica was only the wife of a lowly Captain.
Defending her wasn't worth it.
Worse, it could trigger a public backlash and damage his own future.
He was still young and had to protect his reputation.
He wouldn't risk everything for something so trivial.
Zayn's eyes flashed with disdain as he stared at Robin.
If hot for hearing from Catherine about Robin's fearless act in Dragon Ridge Valley last night and the matter involving the Draconite, he wouldn't have bothered staying to watch this unfold.
Since Robin had proven himself capable and intriguing Zayn decided to stay a little longer out of curiosity.
Chapter 541 The Harsh Reality
At that moment, Stephen was already being helped up by two security guards,

Holding his throbbing face, he pointed at Robin and shouted hoarsely, "I'm not one of the Yorks if I don't kill you today!"
Robin nodded calmly. "Then you better be prepared to change your last name to "Beast"
"You've got guts!" Stephen snapped, then turned to his secretary, who had just been intimate with him in the office. "Call my father!"
The secretary, who had been involved with Cohen as well, almost made a slip as she picked up the phone. "Oh, darling. I'm free tonight....
Stephen froze in disbelief. "Who the hell are you calling? I told you to call my father!"
"That's who I was calling!" The secretary was momentarily confused.
With a sharp slap, Stephen struck the secretary across the face and grabbed the phone, switching it to speaker mode.
Before he could say anything. Cohen's voice came through from the other end. "Baby. I'll be done here soon and come find you. Come on, give me a flying kiss
The entire mall fell silent before breaking into low, astonished laughter.
"Did he seriously just share the same secretary with his father?"
"What's the surprise? In circles like theirs, ethics go out the window."
They are like animals with their primal behavior, haha..."
"Dad, it's me, Stephen!" Stephen glared at the secretary and barked into the phone.
Cohen hesitated before answering. "Oh... Stephen, I was just talking to your Mom, must have crossed the
line.
Stephen ignored the excuse. "Dad, there's a disturbance at the mall! I got assaulted!"
"What?" Cohen's tone shifted instantly, erupting with rage. I'm on my way with reinforcements
Stephen hung up and pointed an accusing finger at Robin. "I
the mall owner and with Winnie as the reception manager't care who you are or what Monica is..
don't I have the right to handle her theft?'
At that moment, Talia rushed up to Robin, holding a phone with the surveillance foptage. Thave the footage! And I've watched it!"
All eyes turned to Talia, eager to understand why Winnie and her accomplices had attacked Monica. Was Monica caught stealing, leading to the confrontation?
Winnie's face turned pale as she lunged at Talia, snarling. "How dare you access our surveillance! Hand it over! It's not to be made public!"
Talia slapped her hard across the face. "You vicious woman! Get lost!"
