Chapter 919 Her Beauty Beyond Compare Cyril stood still for a moment, taken aback.
The Aldridge family-a name synonymous with prestige and power-was a realm he hadn't yet entered.
And yet, here he was, standing at the convention center.
He glanced first at Robin, then at the contract in his secretary's hand.
With a shrug, he muttered, "Mr. Ramsey, I think there's been some mistake."
Robin smiled faintly. "Oh? Seems like today's high-stakes gamble will certainly be one to watch."
"Alright, Mr. Ramsey, I'll leave you to it," Cyril said, eager to avoid further conversation. He quickly made his way toward Pierre.
"Mr. Pierre, let's go meet the Aldridge family head, and when the time is right, please introduce me to them."
Pierre gave him a reassuring pat. "Don't worry, Mr. Higgins. Mr. Felix and Ms. Luella are both very kind. Let's head over."
The crowd in the reception hall parted quickly, all eyes turning toward Pierre and Robin.
After a brief pause, Pierre, clearly excited, announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, in just a moment, you'll be in the presence of the Aldridges' heiress, the unmatched beauty, Ms. Luella." He shot a playful look at Robin. "Let's go, Mr. Ramsey. I hope this gamble brings us all great enjoyment."
With that, he sped toward the entrance, his steps quick and filled with anticipation, as though racing to meet a long-lost lover. His every movement exuded excitement.
Watching him, the crowd couldn't help but feel envious.
Sometimes, a stroke of good luck can lead to disaster, but when fortune smiles, it lights up a person's entire life.
Pierre's enthusiastic strides seemed to create an aura of happiness around him.
Cyril turned to Robin, grinning. "Mr. Ramsey, after you."
Together with Jethro and the others, they followed toward the entrance.
Jackson, visibly anxious, leaned over to Jethro and whispered, "General Quintana, based on Pierre's behavior, it seems real. What do you think we should do?
"According to the bet between Mr. Ramsey and Pierre, if we lose, we'll have to withdraw from the competition. How will we explain this back home?"
Jethro chuckled softly. "Mr. Ramsey never takes risks unless he's sure. That Pierre's no match for Mr. Ramsey!"
Jackson stood frozen, watching Robin, Jethro, and the rest head toward the entrance, his mind racing. Can Mr. Ramsey really force the Aldridges-the world's elite-to bow down? His thoughts were interrupted when he noticed that Robin had suddenly stopped just before the entrance.
His heart skipped a beat. What is happening?
Robin had paused to check a message from the Dark Web.
Annie had been ordered by Dark Web headquarters to leave Qacalisle Island and head to Sakurania.
Her mission was to infiltrate the Rivers family under the pretense of applying for a job.
She had to locate surveillance equipment that had disappeared from Dragon Manor years ago.
As Robin read the message, it became clear this was Old Fred's plan.
For years, Robin's grandfather's personal bodyguard had quietly investigated the truth behind the catastrophe at Dragon Manor.
Six months ago, the World of Darkness had gathered its top assassins in Dragon Ridge Valley, all under Old Fred's command.
His plan was to set the stage for Robin to eliminate them.
Dark Web's elite killers surrounded Dragon Ridge Valley, ensuring Robin could wipe out these powerful figures.
These were the individuals Old Fred had confirmed as responsible for the massacre two decades ago.
Blood debts must be repaid with blood-that was the way of the world.
By sending Annie to infiltrate Sakurania, the plan was to uncover the identities of the assassins involved. No mercy, no survivors.
The stakes in this competition were
high, for only with victory could the winner enter the heart of this secretive organization and get closer to the truth about what happened at Dragon Manor
As Robin processed the message, Pierre had already made his way into the reception hall.
Outside the convention center, a fleet of extravagant vehicles stood gleaming under the midday sun.
These weren't ordinary cars; they were custom-made, high-tech, and exuded an almost sci-fi level of luxury.
They were amphibious, able to travel on land, sea, and air.
Equipped with cutting-edge military technology, each one could withstand the might of the world's most elite special forces.
The Aldridge fleet sparkled under the sun's golden rays.
Representatives from all regions stood by the entrance, awestruck by the sight.noveldrama
This was the show of power from the world's most influential family!
These were the most luxurious vehicles they had ever laid eyes on.
But it wasn't just the cars. The Aldridges' security detail stood out too, impeccably dressed in sharp suits.
Those who understood the
significance knew that each of these
could easily be considered a
powerhouse in their own
Watching Pierre now, his handsome face beaming with excitement, one could only envy him.
What kind of happiness must it be to live a life like his?
The guards formed two neat lines, creating a 30-foot-wide path.
Slowly approaching were two figures: a white-haired elder and a graceful young woman.
The elder was none other than Felix, head of the Aldridge family.
The young woman was Luella, the sole heir to the Aldridge fortune.
Luella.
In her flowing white gown and crystal heels, she looked like a vision, her beauty so striking it seemed to stop time itself.
Under the midday sun of Qacalisle Island, she appeared like an angel descended from the heavens.
She embodied grace, her beauty beyond compare.
Everyone stood motionless, mesmerized.
Could such a woman, this impossibly beautiful, really exist in this world?
As the crowd watched in stunned silence, Pierre's voice rang out, breaking the stillness.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you see her? That's Ms. Luella."
Without another word, Pierre rushed forward, eager to meet her.
Having just stepped out of the car, Luella immediately began scanning the crowd for Robin.
She spotted him at the entrance, playing with his phone, his brow furrowed in thought.
A wide, radiant smile spread across her face, pure joy written all over her.
With a graceful sweep of her gown, she moved swiftly toward Robin, her steps light and elegant like a swan.
This morning, in preparation for
Robin's arrival, Luella had spent
hours with the world's top image designer to perfect her appearance.
As she ran under the sun, her face lit up with happiness that radiated from her.
Her stunning figure captured everyone's attention.
Looking at Pierre now, rushing toward Luella, the gathered crowd understood the depth of their connection.
It was clear-Pierre and Luella's relationship went far beyond the ordinary.
