Chapter 911 Is It Really Necessary to Show Off a Lousy Shoe?

A heavy silence settled in the reception hall, broken only by Mona's provocative, almost mocking laughter.

Throughout her life, every man she'd encountered had wanted nothing more than to get closer to her. She had seen longing and madness in their eyes, and Mona was certain that Robin, seeing her delicate foot, would be no different-he'd undoubtedly want to kiss it. "Hahaha... "Mona's laughter grew louder when she saw Robin's confusion. "It's okay. Just help me put on my shoe. I won't mind if your hands touch me, hahaha..."

The staff from the organizing committee exchanged curious glances as Robin slowly came to a stop.

Representatives from other regions eagerly anticipated the scene of Robin bending down to retrieve her shoe.

Trix, her face flushed with anger, wanted to confront Robin, but hesitated, knowing her low status wouldn't allow her to act too boldly.

Even General Quintana and Mr. Mickton are silent. This isn't a situation I get to have a say in.

Jackson, who had been so bold earlier, was now holding his breath, waiting to see how the young man, respected by Jethro, would respond to this uncomfortable moment. After all, Mona was a woman. If he mishandled this, the fallout could be disastrous.

Then, a small stir ran through the crowd.

Everyone leaned in, watching intently.

Trix was on the verge of shouting, her eyes burning with disdain and fury as she watched Robin step toward Mona's shoe.

"Hahaha... "Mona's triumphant laugh echoed in the hall as she watched Robin approach.

Suddenly, Mona made a move that captured every man's attention.

She raised her graceful leg, placing it over her head. "Come on, put it on like this. It's more exciting that way."

"Is it really necessary to show off a lousy shoe?" Robin stopped in front of the shoe.

"It stinks! In such a refined place, this is truly an eyesore!"

With a swift kick, Robin sent the shoe flying through the air.

It sailed gracefully across the room before heading out the door.

It soared over the plaza and landed in a trash bin at the far edge of the square.

"I-I can't believe it!" Jackson exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement.

This was by far the most impressive thing he'd ever witnessed!

It was pure swagger!

He watched Robin's retreating figure, his admiration growing.

Wow, he handled that so well!

Now I know why even someone like Jethro holds him in such high regard.

It isn't wealth, power, or embellishment that earns respect-it's an unshakable spirit, pride, and sheer audacity.

As the crowd gasped in shock, Mona was livid with fury.

She had traveled the world and met countless men, but never had one treated her with such blatant disregard.

"Argh!" Mona screamed in frustration, her face flushed with humiliation. She lifted her leg and aimed a kick at Robin. Robin casually stepped aside.

Her foot missed entirely, but she slammed into something hard, as though her leg had hit a steel pillar.

With a loud thud, Mona was knocked backward, landing several feet away.

The other shoe she had been wearing earlier landed neatly at Robin's feet.

Without a second thought, Robin kicked it out of the hall.

The shoes finally reunited, landing side by side in the trash outside.

Just then, the garbage truck arrived, collecting the trash and the discarded shoes.

The crowd was once again stunned by the spectacle.

Mona, the so-called Poison Poppy Queen of Scentialand, had finally been humbled by a man.

Staggering to her feet, Mona seethed, "You b*stard!"

"Calling me names now? Looks like you're still not embarrassed enough!" Robin sneered. "You're just a puffed-up piece of trash." He stomped his foot.

Mona was thrown back, crashing into the glass door of the conference hall.

The thick glass shattered instantly, sending shards flying in every direction.

Mona took a moment to collect herself, her stunned gaze fixed on Robin's cold, proud figure standing beneath the bright lights of the hall.

For the first time in her life, she felt a deep sense of humiliation and defeat.

This man was nothing like the weakling she had imagined.

The looks of disdain from the others made it even worse.

To be treated like this in front of so many people...

Her reputation as the Poison Poppy Queen was shattered.

At that moment, a dark, vicious thought bubbled up inside her.

"Captain Pierre!" Mona's usual arrogance vanished, replaced by pitiful desperation as she clung to Pierre's arm, tears in her eyes

"Pierre! You're my hero! He's humiliating me, please, you have to help me...'

All eyes turned to Pierre.

He was the King of Mercenaries, the undefeated champion of the last international military martial tournament.

Employed by the Sea Lion Force, his reputation was unparalleled.

If he intervened, the situation would surely escalate.

"Buddy, what you're doing is really

"Mona is just a woman. How could you treat her like this?"

Robin raised an eyebrow, unfazed. "Here, there are no women, only soldiers. What I do to her is none of your concern." Mona was taken aback.

She had never expected Robin, who had just fled from Asher the day before, to speak so arrogantly to Pierre.noveldrama

"Captain Pierre, he doesn't even respect you!"

Abner, the captain from Weronnia, limped over to Pierre's side, eager to stir the pot.

"Captain Pierre, this kid's too cocky. He doesn't even respect you...

"Who gave you the power to challenge me, you pathetic worm?" Robin sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

"Looks like you haven't groveled enough. Do it some more!"

Thud!

Abner crumpled to the floor again, writhing in pain.

The room gasped in shock.

If Abner's earlier submission had been a fluke, this was a clear display of Robin's dominance.

Pierre frowned, his words stuck in his throat.

He couldn't read Robin, and that made him uneasy.

The pressure this young man exuded was unlike anything he had ever felt.

As Pierre hesitated, Robin pointed at him. "If you don't want to end up like him, shut your filthy mouth."

A suffocating silence descended over the hall once more.

All eyes turned to Pierre.

Robin's words had delivered a direct challenge to Pierre.
