When Robin’s words echoed through the SunEast Bank lobby, the entire room fell silent. For a moment, there was only shock, and then all eyes turned to hun.
They couldn’t believe this young man would dare to talk like that. After all, Jett–Layla’s husband–was the assistant to Harmonfield’s deputy mayor.
Within six months, he was expected to become the primary candidate for deputy mayor.
His father had previously held that position, and Jett had built a strong network within the city government and across several industries.
In his early 30s, he already held a prominent role and was widely regarded as someone with the potential to rise even further, possibly to mayor or even a higher provincial post
Robin’s open disregard for Jett was astonishing, and it seemed certain that Robin’s future in Harmonfield was now in jeopardy.
Leonardo watched the scene from a distance, frowning at the disrespect his former classmate faced. It unnerved him to see someone confront Jett so boldly.
He looked at Robin angrily.
Being young and frivolous was understandable.
However, if Robin didn’t know how to restrain himself, be arrogant, and didn’t show respect, it would have gone too far.
Leonardo stepped forward, anger boiling up. “How can you speak like that?” he reprimanded, pointing at
Robin
“You lack any respect! The bank is trying to work things out with you, and you’re being this uncooperative. My friend from the city government spoke to you civilly, yet you-”
But as he looked closer, Robin’s expression–a familiar, unnerving smile–made Leonardo freeze in his tracks. Fear ran through him, his mind racing to remember who Robin was,
Though Leonardo had traveled widely and met all sorts of people, he had never felt this kind of fear. His eyes widened in shock, and he stepped back, momentarily speechless.
Oblivious to his friend’s reaction, Jett took Leonardo’s words as a show of support and sneered.
“Kid, I’m a city government official, so I’ll refrain from saying anything unprofessional,
But let me warn you–Leonardo’s status is far beyond anything you can imagine. If you’re planning to go about this in such a reckless way, you’d best tread carefully.”
Robin raised an eyebrow. “Oh: Trying to intimidate me
He laughed. “Leonardo, the Aldridges‘ deputy CEO, with a Phoenix Vanguard background,
“Does your classmate, the deputy mayor’s assistant, mean that you can use various means to deal with me

with your connections?”
Leonardo turned pale, his heart racing as he struggled to breathe.
His gaze fixed on Robin, whose calm demeanor made him feel an overwhelming dread.

Everyone, including Jett and Layla, now noticed that Leonardo was staring at Robin as if he’d seen a ghost The confidence he’d had before was completely gone.
Finally, Leonardo mustered the courage to speak, his voice low and respectful, “Mr. Ramsey, could I speak with you privately?”
Robin nodded with a slight smile. “Want to talk? Sure. Let’s go to the VIP room over there.”
“Yes, Mr. Ramsey. This way, please, Leonardo replied, bowing slightly and following Robin like a
subordinate.
Everyone in the lobby looked on, bewildered by the sudden shift.
How had Leonardo, the deputy CEO of the Aldridges‘ Aurientia Affairs Department, gone from confident to utterly submissive in front of Robin?
His demeanor had turned meek as if he were in the presence of a powerful force.
Inside the VIP room, Leonardo shut the door firmly. With a thud, he fell to his knees before Robin.
“Mr. Ramsey, I deserve punishment! I didn’t realize I was in the presence of Lord Drakebane. I’ll accept any penalty you deem fit.”
Robin smiled coolly. “It’s fine; it’s not too late to realize now. If you’d said one more word just now, you would have left this bank as a corpse.”
Leonardo stared at Robin in terror, remaining on the ground, too frightened to raise his head. “Lord Drakebane, it was my mistake!”
All he could picture was the bloody conflict at the Phoenix Vanguard Headquarters from a few years back. Three years ago, driven by someone’s scheming, the leaders of the Phoenix Vanguard openly challenged Divine Drakebane and even tried to kill him..
In a fit of rage, Divine Drakebane went alone to their headquarters.
In only one night, he single–handedly wiped out nearly 500 Phoenix Vanguard disciples.
In the end, their leader, Cassian, was utterly defeated, pleading for Divine Drakebane to spare them.
Since that day, the Phoenix Vanguard had viewed him as their eternal master,
Every disciple must show deference to Divine Drakebane when they see him.
Anyone who disrespected him could expect relentless pursuit by the Phoenix Vanguard’s disciples. For years, the memory of the corpses and rivers of blood from that night had haunted Leonardo.

Robin was like a killing god, and he was terrifying!

Facing Divine Drakebane again, especially after speaking disrespectfully, he trembled in fear. “Lord Drakebane, is there anything you need me to handle?”
Robin replied coolly. “Do I need you here? Get out of Draconia now!”
“Yes, Lord Drakebane! I won’t show my face here again. From that moment on, I sever ties with Jett. Is there anything else you need?”
“No, just leave!
Leonardo bowed and unsteadily stood up, awkwardly making his way out of the VIP room and into the Tobby.
Jett noticed Leonardo’s distressed look and quickly asked, “Leonardo, what’s happening? Where are you headed?”
“Jett, remember this–we have no more ties from now on!”
With that, he and four bodyguards got into a car and drove off, leaving everyone in the bank lobby looking confused.
Jett had no idea what was happening.
After his encounter with Robin, Leonardo abruptly ended their 15–year friendship.
What was going on?
He stared at Robin coming out of the VIP room, utterly baffled.
What did this guy say to Leonardo?
Layla also found the scene confusing. When she saw Robin coming out, she yelled, “You jerk! What did you do to my husband’s classmate? Are you plotting against him and saying terrible things about my husband?
Tl find out going on! Don’t think you can act without consequences just because the Dunns are backing you! My husband’s classmate is-
Ignoring Layla, Robin walked past her and headed straight to the center of the lobby.
Jett wanted to confront him, but his phone rang. It was the deputy mayor, Zion.
He quickly picked up, “Hello, Mr. Parker. What do you need?”
On the other end, Zion’s voice was icy. “Jett, as a city official, you’ve involved yourself in things you shouldn’t be.
“Reports have come in accusing you of embezzlement, bribery, and misuse of public assets with your wife. Investigations have started, and you must return to assist with the review.
Also, I must inform you that you’re no longer in the running for the next deputy mayor position.

“Jett, you’ve truly let me down. Take care of yourself!”
Zion ended the call, leaving Jett feeling as if he’d been hit by lightning.
What was going on today?
Not only was his old classmate Leonardo cutting ties, but his once–promising career was crumbling.
At that moment, he looked from Robin to the furious Layla..
It dawned on him–all of today’s chaos was because of her.
He had no idea what connections Robin had, but he was certain everything that happened today stemmed from him.
He couldn’t begin to comprehend how powerful Robin’s background must be.
Leonardo.trembled all over when he saw Robin.
So, Robin’s identity and status must be extraordinary!
With this realization, he quickly approached Robin, saying respectfully. “Mr. Ramsey, I’m sorry-
Robin ignored him, chatting with Jonah as if the commotion around him didn’t matter.
Jett felt defeated.
He realized that someone as influential as Robin wouldn’t waste time on someone like him.
His thought sparked anger within him.
If Layla hadn’t been so arrogant and domineering, flaunting his job everywhere, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
Now that it had come to this, there was no going back.
Furious, he turned to Layla and slapped her across the face. “You wretched woman! I want to divorce you!”
“Why did you hit me? Are you out of your mind? You can’t divorce me! Calm down, what’s wrong with you?”
Layla stared at Jett in fear, confused about what was happening.
Leonardo left in anger, determined to sever ties with Jett.
Jett, on the other hand, wanted to divorce Layla. They both seemed to be under some kind of spell.
What exactly happened?
The more Layla pondered, the more frightened she became. Suddenly, she remembered someone and glanced nervously at Robin.
Could it be him?

The lobby of SunEast Bank was silent.
Everyone turned to watch Robin, a chill running down their spines.
