Chapter 912 What Else Can You Do Besides Flaunt Your Background?

Pierre's mind went completely blank when Robin's sharp words and sudden actions hit him like a wave.

The situation was so unexpected that he had no idea how to react.

As the captain of the Sea Lion Force, a major player in his field, Pierre had never been confronted so directly or personally before.

Mona, clinging to his side, was equally stunned.

If she hadn't seen Robin pointing his finger right at Pierre's nose, she would have sworn she had misheard.

Her carefully crafted, helpless demeanor quickly shifted into shock and confusion.

She glanced at this tall, handsome man from the East again, feeling a surge of annoyance inside her. How have I been so wrong in my judgment?

She, who had always treated men as nothing more than prey, had let her guard down this time.

The presence of this man-his power and confidence-made her feel foolish for ever thinking she could mock him.

I've brought this on myself.

Caught up in her thoughts, Mona unconsciously loosened her grip on Pierre's arm.

She couldn't help but compare him to Robin.

A cold realization hit her, and she quickly recognized her mistake.

Robin was like an immovable mountain-formidable and awe-inspiring.

On the other hand, Abner, who had been quietly watching from the crowd, was also taken aback.

He had hoped to find someone weak to toy with, someone to make himself feel important in front of the regional representatives.

But the person he'd chosen to provoke was someone like Robin.

Just the day before, Robin had backed down in front of Asher, and everyone had mocked him as a blowhard and coward.

Now, it seemed like Robin had transformed into someone entirely different.

He didn't show any mercy to Pierre, no matter his reputation.

And Abner himself wasn't even anyone well-known.

Abner tried to stand but felt trapped by an invisible force.

Panic gripped him.

At this level, offending someone like Robin was a disaster waiting to happen.

He had been so bold earlier, defending Pierre and acting as if he had some diplomatic weight.

Now, he was paralyzed, overwhelmed by Robin's intimidating presence.

Robin was a real threat.

Someone who dared challenge others with such confidence was not to be trifled with.

Abner knew he couldn't afford to make things worse.

He didn't dare to complain to the organizing committee it could turn everything upside down and hurt his team.

In his panic, Abner caught sight of Jackson in the distance, smiling knowingly at him.

It was as if Jackson was silently mocking him, saying, "What did you think you were doing? Did you really think you could take on someone like this?"

With Anton and Jethro still silent, Abner's sense of regret deepened.

He felt like an absolute fool. Why have I made such a mess of things?

"Robin, what is all this about?"

Suddenly, Trix broke the tense silence in the room.

"Captain Pierre is the King of Mercenaries, a role model to mercenaries around the world. You should be showing him respect ..."

Robin turned his cold gaze toward Trix. "Who gave you the right to speak to me like that?"

Without hesitation, he ordered, "Go stand in the plaza for eight hours, now."

Trix flinched, taken aback. "But-"

"Out!" Robin's voice was sharp, cutting through the air.

The room froze, stunned by the sudden intensity of his command.

Trix's world seemed to spin as she realized the gravity of the situation.

As part of the Thalrex Order's elite guards, she shouldn't speak out against her superior in such a setting.

Once the words left her mouth, there was no taking them back.

The tension in the room grew heavier.

Pierre, caught in his own thoughts, felt frustration rising.

At this point, there was no ignoring the situation.

His reputation and standing made it impossible for him to just let this go.noveldrama

He shook his head coldly. "Do you have any idea what you're doing right now?"

Robin flicked his fingers dismissively. "I never think about consequences."

The crowd took notice, their eyes widening. A person who didn't care about the fallout was a dangerous one.

Pierre let out a low laugh, his voice laced with scorn. "So, you actually think you can treat me like an opponent?"

"Treat

being his opponent!

It wasn't just an insult it was a public humiliation, like crushing Pierre underfoot.

Pierre's rage boiled over, his fists clenched in anger. "Alright, you really think you can get away with this?

"Kid, do you even know who my father is?

"My father is Kolton, the vice captain of the Aldridges' First Guard!

"Now that you know my background, will you dare to repeat what you said?"

Robin sneered. "What else can you do besides flaunt your background?

"Vice captain of the Aldridges' First Guard? Big deal. Is that really supposed to impress me?"

Jackson couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Man, how I wish I could say something like that!

All those years of holding back, and now Robin was saying it loud and clear.

Everyone in the room stared at Robin with mixed expressions.

Is he insane?

Just yesterday, he was scared off by Asher. Now, he's acting like this? Who would believe him?

But then Robin said something that left everyone in utter shock.

"If you think your background gives you power, go tell your dad, and have him pass the message to Felix. "Ask Felix if he dares act up in front of me!"

Holy cow!

This guy's confidence is off the charts!

The crowd, which had been nervous just moments ago, now felt an unexpected sense of relief.

They looked at Robin, who stood cool and composed, and couldn't help but marvel at his audacity. To speak like that-what a talent!

Pierre, fuming with anger, clenched his fists tightly, ready to strike.

Today, he was going to teach this arrogant young man a lesson.

He was going to make him understand just how dangerous it was to mess with someone like him.

But seeing Pierre's fury, Robin just shook his head dismissively. "With that small mind of yours, you dare call yourself the King of Mercenaries?"

With that, Robin turned and walked toward the meeting hall, leaving a stunned crowd in his wake.
