Chapter 897 If You're Tired of Living, I'll Grant Your Wish!
Upon learning the organizing committee's stance on the Asher brawl incident at the Qacalisle Summit, Jackson immediately decided to discuss the matter with Jethro. "General Quintana, the committee has made their position clear.
"Yesterday, our team had a physical confrontation with Asher and his group, and both sides share the blame.
"Now, the committee's position is that we must be escorted by the local police to the station to clarify the situation and face their punishment.
"This incident involves the Aldridges and the chief manager of Qacalisle Island. The committee's intention is to downplay the issue."
Jethro leaned back in the car seat and sneered. "Mr. Pryce, is this the result of your coordination?
"You were present from start to finish during the fight yesterday. Don't tell me you don't know who the real instigator of the brawl was.
"In any case, this matter can't be handled this way!
"I don't agree with anyone's opinion on this!"
Jackson was taken aback. "General Quintana, please calm down. We're on Qacalisle Island. We can't be reckless.
"Besides, we're not just representing ourselves—"
Jethro's voice turned cold. "That's all the more reason not to handle it like this!
"Every word and action we take now must reflect the dignity of our entire team!"
Jackson frowned deeply. "General Quintana, what exactly are you trying to say?
"Even back home, in a situation like the one that occurred yesterday evening, both parties would be required to go to the police station to explain what happened and await the authorities' decision. Isn't that the standard procedure? "Moreover, we're the team representing the conference. How could we possibly break local regulations?
"In the end, such a disgraceful incident shouldn't happen to people at our level. But the young people you brought with you have such poor conduct!
"We're in this situation, and they refuse to take responsibility. Who will?
"General Quintana, do you realize the kind of impact their behavior yesterday could have on us?"
"Mr. Pryce, let me remind you, you represent us!" Jethro slammed the car door open and stepped out. "The approach you're proposing is nothing short of sacrificing our dignity!
"I strongly disagree!
"Last night, Asher and his gang's actions were a direct insult to us. They should be the ones apologizing in person!
"The provocateurs were arrogant and brazen!
"And now, the victims are expected to give up their dignity and accept punishment?
"There's no such thing as that kind of thug logic!"
Jackson shook his head in resignation and softly pleaded, "General Quintana, I understand your point!
"But they're under the Aldridges' influence!
"If we clash with a force like this, I... I won't be able to explain it to the higher-ups!
"General Quintana, how can you be so unreasonable about this?
"We make a small sacrifice for the sake of harmony and stability, this has always been the principle-"
"Enough!" Jethro waved his hand.
"Jackson, I warn you. People from the Qacalisle Island liaison office should not interfere again! If you don't, the consequences are on you!"
Jackson shook his head and walked up to Robin's car, his face dark. "The police have already been called regarding what happened yesterday evening. The local police are requesting that you go with them to the station to clarify the situation. "You three need to get out of the car. I'll assign one of my people to accompany you."
Trix froze for a moment. "Mr. Pryce, is this really the way you're handling this?"
Jackson snapped impatiently, "Yes, get out of the car and go clarify the situation with them, then accept the local authorities' punishment. Let's not escalate this any further!"
en
Zayden was stunned. "Accept punishment? They were the ones who provoked and harassed Trix, we only—"
Jackson's frustration grew. "Are you going to cooperate or not? You've caused all this trouble and still won't take responsibility. Your actions are going to have a terrible impact on the entire team!" en
"Didn't you say you'd handle it?" Robin chuckled lightly, opening the car door and stepping out. "If I'd known you couldn't handle it, wouldn't have wasted my time!"
en
Jackson's face turned purple with anger. "What do you mean by that? Robin, I warn you, don't do anything rash. If you escalate this..."
"Get out of the way!" Robin shoved Jackson aside and walked straight toward Asher and his group.
Zayden and Trix didn't wait for Jackson to stop them and quickly followed Robin's lead.
Asher sneered. "Did your boss inform you?
"Heh, kid, you hit me yesterday. Once we're at the station, I'll make sure they give you a few more lessons.
"You think you can act tough on Qacalisle Island? You're finished!"
At that moment, a crowd of conference attendees and reporters quickly gathered.
After hearing the details, many of them looked at Robin, Trix, and Zayden with sympathy.
Based on past experiences, anyone who offended the Aldridges usually didn't end up with a good outcome.
Robin flicked the dust off her suit. "Arguing with sc*m like you is a waste of time. If you apologize now, it's not too late!"
"Haha... " Asher and his four companions burst into laughter, as though they'd just heard the most absurd joke.
After a fit of laughter, Asher pointed at Robin. "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll forgive your ignorance.
"If you want to avoid some pain, have that beautiful woman come back with me for a few days, and we can discuss this further, haha..."
Robin's expression instantly turned cold. In the blink of an eye, he was standing right in front of Asher. "If you're tired of living, I'll grant your wish!" Then, he stomped down hard on Asher's shin.
"Aah!" A shrill scream echoed through the lobby of the convention center.
Asher's leg was snapped under the force of Robin's blow.
The media cameras and photographers immediately captured the violent scene.
Asher's 30 bodyguards stood frozen for a moment.
In all their experience, they had never seen anyone dare strike Asher so ruthlessly on Qacalisle Island!
"What are you waiting for? Kill this b*astard!" Asher screamed in pain, shouting at his guards.noveldrama
Immediately, the 30 bodyguards charged toward Robin with their stun batons.
Trix and Zayden instantly stepped in front of Robin, ready to protect him.
As the situation continued to escalate, Jackson rushed forward, shouting, "Stop right now—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Robin grabbed him and tossed him aside, throwing him behind. "Get out of the way, coward!"
Zayden, Trix, and Jethro's four bodyguards immediately charged at the 30 police guards, plunging into a fierce fight.
On the ground, Jackson shook his head in terror. "It's over! It's over! This is going to be a disaster!"
