Simon glanced up at Skylar and nodded. "Skylar, your issue is minor, It'll be handled once today's mission is completed.

"I'm operating under an urgent military order, and the scene has to be cleared before seven o'clock."

Turning to the Investigation Division 7 personnel, he commanded, "Hurry up! Clear the area within a minute and evacuate the crowd quickly,

"Those who can't leave the plaza in time will be temporarily held in the North Plaza for centralized management.

Skylar grew anxious at Simon's dismissive attitude. "Simon, are you just going to ignore me? Are you saying that my concerns will simply be brushed aside?"

Simon replied firmly, "Skylar, I've told you-this is an urgent military matter. Your family's minor issue will be addressed later. Did you not hear me?"

Skylar, barely containing his frustration, pressed on. "But Robin has already killed four people! a minor issue?"

that also

Simon scoffed, "Skylar, haven't you seen death before? Killing ten or so enemies on the battlefield is standard. What's the big deal if Robin took down four bad guys? "It's a minor issue and will be addressed afterward.

"I'll say it again: there's a critical military operation underway.

"If you obstruct this order, can you shoulder the responsibility?

"You used to be a soldier yourself-defying urgent military orders leads to execution.

"Do you really have the power to challenge the military's commands? Stand down!"

Skylar, recognizing the severity, reluctantly backed off, knowing that even the Eight Kings would not dare to interfere with military orders.

Frustrated, he withdrew to the sidelines.

After the earlier rebuke from Adam, Zayn felt humiliated and was eager to regain face

Zayn was confident that, no matter how strict Simon might be, he would still show respect to his grandfather, Lord Westeria.

Approaching Simon, he greeted, "Hello, Mr. Cross. I witnessed part of the incident today, and I must say Robin's methods were incredibly ruthless." "Killing four people on the spot is serious. This should be reported to the military for special handling." Zayn insisted.

"Mr. Cross, in the case of Robin, this is already a grave crime.

"Mr. Cross, what I'm suggesting. Zayn continued, "is that even if we address Robin's actions later, he should be detained now to prevent further harm." Skylar quickly backed him up. "Yes, Zayn's absolutely right! Someone as violent as Ramsey needs to be restrained."

Simon looked at Zayn with a steely gaze. Are you trying to tell me how to do my job?"

Zayn offered a tense smile. "Mr. Cross, I'm only making a suggestion.

"My grandfather always taught me that in complex situations, it's best to detain the main culprit first to avoid escalation

"I just mean that someone like Ramsey, so brutal in nature, should be controlled first."

Simon scoffed. "A fool like you thinks he can tell me how to handle things?"

His voice was ice-cold. "I am a major general and the director of Investigation Division 7, acting under direct military orders, and you think you can lecture me?"

"Who do you think you are, daring to point fingers at me?"

Simon's voice rose. "If you dare to disrupt my mission again, I can shoot you right here!"

Two officers stepped forward, flanking Simon, while Zayn froze, stunned by the sudden turn Trying to regain his composure, Zayn stammered, "Mr. Cross, my grandfather is Lord Westeria... "Oh, your grandfather's Lord Westeria?" Simon cut him off, a hint of mockery in his tone. "Then call your grandfather. Ask him how he'd suggest we handle someone disrupting a military mission.

ahead,

"You son of a b*tch! Your grandfather may be the Lord Westeria, but who the hell are you? How dare you point fingers at me! Get lost!" Simon's voice cut through the room with scorn. "These uncouth people, coming in here with arrogance- do they even know who I am?" Turning to his officers, Simon barked, "Officers! If this fool dares act up again, shoot him on the spot!

"Yes, sir!" The two officers immediately drew their guns aiming directly at Zayn, whose face turned pale as he instinctively stepped back. Simon was not joking-another word of nonsense, and these officers would indeed take him down.

Zayn knew it, he had seen it before.noveldrama

Feeling utterly humiliated, Zayn burned with anger.

The esteemed heir of the Westeria Residence, Brighton's number one heir, had never been treated this

way.

He silently vowed to get back at Simon for this, even if it meant targeting his daughter, Talia.

Everyone in the room was beginning to understand Simon's stance-he was clearly backing Robin.

The order to clear and secure the area had clearly come directly from the military.

Anyone who could not see it by now would have to be Bblivious.

Catherine, already seeing the bigger picture, hurried forward to pull Zayn back.

"Zayn, what are you doing? Mr. Cross is here on a mission-none of this concerns us.

"Skylar's grudge with Robin has nothing to do with our family. Come with me!"

Flushed with frustration, Zayn followed Catherine back into the crowd, seething with resentment but forced to retreat.

Elliott shook his head and sneered at Zayn, who had retreated to his side. "Did you already forget what Mr. Ramsey told you yesterday?"

Zayn wanted to snap back at Elliott, but the words caught in his throat.

He knew exactly what Elliott meant-Robin had called him a fool just the day before.

Soon, the bodies in the second-floor hall were all cleared away.

However, Simon gave no orders to free Karina, Jeb, and the others on the ground; instead, he had them grouped together, and forced to stay on their knees. Skylar, fuming at the humiliating sight, spat angrily, "Simon, I see what you're doing-are you trying to turn against me completely?"

"If that's how you want to see it, I can't help you," Simon replied indifferently.

"Skylar, I'm here on a mission, and all you've done is shout and provoke! If it weren't for our past as comrades-in-arms, I'd have had you tied up long ago!

"You were a soldier once, so don't you understand what your duty is in situations like this? Now that you've got a little money, have you forgotten the oath you took in front of the military flag?"

"Fine!" Skylar's face was pale with rage. "If you refuse to help me, I'll handle it myself!"

He turned to Eithan, barking, "Call your father!"

Everyone present knew the connection between Skylar and the Southmere Residence.

It was clear-Skylar was ready to pull his last card to go up against Robin.
