Chapter 904 Anyone Who Dares Point a Gun at Me
Robin emerged from the sleek Mercedes SUV, and in that brief moment before the gates of Mateo's mansion, everything seemed to pause.
Dressed in a sharp suit with polished shoes, he appeared strikingly handsome, commanding the attention of everyone around.
His presence radiated power, as though he were a towering tree, gracefully swaying in the breeze.
The gentle ocean breeze seemed to carry with them an invisible joy, adding a sense of serenity to the atmosphere. The sunlight shimmered, casting a golden glow that made the leaves dance and flicker, their movement hypnotic. As the shadows shifted, the striking features of the East were illuminated in the most mesmerizing way.
This was no ordinary man. His stride, carried by the wind, seemed divine, like something sent from the heavens themselves.
Luella's eyes sparkled with uncontainable excitement, her heart racing in pure joy.
This was the man who occupied her thoughts constantly.
Though she knew their love could never reach fruition, she couldn't stop her heart from fluttering every time their paths crossed. Just as she was about to rush into his embrace, Asher's shrill voice shattered the moment.
"Mr. Felix, Ms. Luella, this b*stard caused chaos on the Aldridges' Qacalisle Island!
"He and his gang not only beat me, but they also threatened to trample on the Aldridges!"
Luella's expression instantly froze, her eyes cold as ice.
Asher, seeing her reaction, smirked inwardly, pleased with himself.
His plan was simple: provoke the Aldridges into taking action against Robin, hoping they'd finish him off.
"Tie him up now!" Asher barked, signaling two guards from the Cattells to subdue Robin.
"You punk, I've been looking for you everywhere, and you just walked right into my trap!
"Today, Mr. Felix and Ms. Luella are here on Qacalisle Island, so I'll make sure you die today, even if it's the last thing I do!"
Felix and Luella exchanged a look, their faces growing darker as they realized the gravity of Asher's words.
How dare he provoke a man feared even by the most powerful beings!
Who gave him the audacity to act like this?
It was clear Asher believed his position as the overseer of Qacalisle Island made him invincible. But in reality, he was putting the entire Aldridge family in jeopardy. Seeing the situation escalating, Mateo stepped forward, eager to fuel the fire.
"Mr. Felix, Ms. Luella, it was this man from the East who harmed my son! I was about to search the whole island for him!
"The others involved are already caught and held in my estate, probably having been dealt with as we speak..."
Felix and Luella didn't even spare Mateo a glance as they hurried to Robin's side. "Mr. Ramsey ..."
Before either of them could finish speaking, Robin interrupted with authority, "Stay there. I'll handle this first."
Felix's guards tensed, unsure how to respond to someone so blatantly disrespectful to their leaders.
Darson, watching closely, narrowed his eyes in suspicion, analyzing Robin with keen interest.
After the initial shock wore off, Holden, the butler of the Cattells, stepped forward and pointed at Robin with fury. "How dare you disrespect Mr. Felix and Ms. Luella! Tie him up now!" "Julius, slap him!" Luella commanded coldly.
Julius MacLaren, captain of Felix's guard, shoved Holden to the ground. "Get down!"
The sound of sharp slaps echoed, each one landing with a sickening thud, leaving Holden's face bruised and bleeding.
Asher stood there in disbelief. "Ms. Luella, you've got it wrong! Holden is our head butler! This fella is the one who-"
"Shut your mouth!" Julius cut Asher off, landing a slap that sent him stumbling backward.
Mateo watched in stunned silence, unable to process the shocking scene unfolding before him.
Suddenly, a realization struck him. Is this man from the East the 'distinguished friend' Mr. Felix mentioned?
As his ming scrambled to make
sense of the situation, Asher, stil
holding his swollen cheek,
desperately tried to salvage his plan.
"Ms. Luella, you don't understand.

"It was this b*stard who broke my leg, and his people have been provoking the Cattells and threatening the Aldridges!"
Robin slowly turned to face A
his voice cold and unyielding. "If
ss sc*ms like you are
for the Aldridges, what does
it matter if I ruin them?"
A heavy silence descended over the estate.
"You want to die?" Julius drew his gun in an instant, pointing it directly at Robin.
At that moment, every guard from the Aldridges readied their weapons, their sights now fixed on the man from the East.
Robin flashed a chilling smile. "Go ahead and try."
Before Felix and Luella could react, a blur of motion passed.
Julius collapsed to the ground with a resounding thud.
The small pistol he had been holding was now in the hands of the blue-clad guards, their movements swift and precise.
The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed firmly against his head.
Without hesitation, the guards pulled the trigger. The sharp click of the firing pin echoed, and Julius was drenched in cold sweat. Robin opened his hand, and the spent bullet casings clattered to the ground in front of Julius.
"Anyone who dares point a gun at me whether in the open or from the shadows-is already dead. You're no exception. Kill him!" The blue-clad guards made quick work of Julius, ending his life with a single strike.
Mateo and Asher stood frozen, utterly stunned by the sudden turn of events.
The Aldridges' entire security team remained motionless, unable to comprehend what had just happened.noveldrama
Everyone's gaze shifted to Felix and Luella.
If they didn't react to this flagrant act of defiance, the very foundation of the Aldridge family's power would be called into question.
"Mr. Ramsey, we apologize. Captain MacLaren was unaware of your true identity ..."
Robin raised a hand to silence them. "We'll discuss this later."
"Alright! Mr. Ramsey!" Felix and Luella quickly fell silent, awaiting Robin's next command.
Mateo's mind was racing, and panic set in.
He knew if he didn't find a way to escape, his life was forfeit.
If Robin could kill the Aldridges' captain without a second thought, he and his son had no hope.
The sound of a revving engine cut through the tense silence.
A Mercedes SUV roared down the road, skidding to a stop.
"Master Ramsey, they've been brought here." Two blue-clad guards ushered Trix and Zayden forward, their hoods removed.
Trix, disoriented for a moment,
quickly caught sight of Robin. Her
fury exploded. "You ... you coward! Youdar! You're nothing but a hypocrite!"
Everyone turned to stare, confused by the scene unfolding before them.
Luella's eyes narrowed in annoyance, but she kept silent, waiting for Robin to speak.
"Take them back," Robin said, gesturing for the blue-clad guards to return them to the car.
Trix continued to rant, "Wait, Robin! Explain yourself! Why did you abandon us and run? You coward!"
"Quiet!" one of the guards barked, seizing Trix and tossing her into the vehicle. The car sped off toward Duskhaven Hotel.
Robin wiped his hands clean and pointed at Mateo and Asher. "Come here. Let's talk business."
