Chapter 623 I Listen to Him, Not You
Before Catherine received any updates about the situation at Draven Tower, Robin had already gathered information from the dark web.
Without delay, he ordered the bomb disposal experts to act.
In no time, and without anyone noticing, the explosive devices hidden in the Draven Tower’s underground basement were neutralized.
At that very moment, Annie was being held in a lavish billiard lounge within Draven Tower’s parking
garage.
Catherine was preparing to brief Robin when she realized he had already jumped into a jeep and was speeding toward the tower.
As he made his way there, dark web scouts sent real–time updates about the situation, including details of Annie’s condition.
If it weren’t for the risk of drawing attention from Draconia’s national security, assassins would have already been dispatched to eliminate Draven.
I’m going too!” Catherine said, determined to join him. She swiftly jumped into an armored vehicle, intent on following Robin.
Zayn, who had been accompanying her, immediately blocked her path. “Catherine, get out of the car. Robin is acting recklessly. Are you really going to follow him
into danger?
“Don’t forget, you’re the heiress of Westeria Residence. Your actions reflect on the family!”
Catherine glared at him. “Robin is doing what needs to be done for the greater good. He’s not reckless!
“If my actions bring shame to Westeria Residence, then I’ll leave it for good!”
Zayn was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected Catherine to say such a thing.
Clearly, she would rather abandon her prestigious position and follow the
Path she saw as a noble one.
With a swift kick, she shoved Zayn aside. “Move! If you keep acting like this, I’ll you! When will you be a true soldier like Robin?”
Revving the engine of the armored vehicle, Catherine sped off after Robin.
Zayn stood frozen, watching her disappear into the distance.

Hannibal, who had been silently observing, narrowed his eyes, his expression conflicted.
Look at what Catherine has become, Dad! She’s completely out of control! If this goes on, Robin will ruin her!” Zayn complained.
Hannibal’s face darkened. “She’s right! If you continue ke this, you’ll be the one to disgrace Westeria Residence. Never speak such shameful words again! We the people of Westeria Residence, cannot be seen

He never expected his father to support Catherine’s reckless decision.
It was clear to him that such arrogance would lead to disaster.
In Zayn’s mind, pushing too hard would eventually break something.
People like Robin, so filled with pride and disregard for consequences, were bound to destroy their futures.
Shaking his head in resignation, Zayn realized he couldn’t convince his father, Hannibal.
Just then, he saw Gavin rushing toward him.
Zayn stepped in his way. “Mr. Brooks, I advise you to stay away from Robin’s team and withdraw from this international military competition. Associating with someone like him will ruin your future! Look at the chaos this has caused! If even one thing goes wrong, it could end terribly!”
Gavin scoffed. “Zayn, I’m a professional soldier in the Special Operations Military Region, a Major General. I only follow orders from my superiors. Right now, I’m under General Ramsey. I listen to him, not you!
“And remember, I’m still your mentor! You have no right to give me orders. Step aside! Santiago’s sister is still in Draven’s hands. General Ramsey is going to rescue her, and I’ll be the one leading the charge!”
Gavin, Bill, and the others jumped into a military vehicle, following closely behind Robin and Catherine.
Meanwhile, Ned, in charge of Draconia’s Special Police Command and overseeing the “Dragon Slayer” operation to dismantle Draven’s criminal empire, received the latest intelligence.
He immediately gave the order to mobilize the special armed police surrounding Draven Tower, pushing them toward the building.
The task force began securing the streets within a 150–feet radius of Draven Tower.
Taylor from the Brookhaven Police Headquarter also issued orders to advance toward Draven Tower.
In an instant, all forces were focusing on the tower.
It had been confirmed that Draven Tower was a key location for Draven Group’s smuggling operations involving drugs and firearms.
To prevent Draven from detonating the explosives and causing special forces
Unnecessary casualties, the remained hidden, awaiting Ned’s command to move forward.
As Robin, Catherine, and the others arrived at Draven Tower, their goal was to neutralize Draven and prevent the bombs in the underground garage from detonating, allowing the special forces to fully engage.
Inside the luxurious billiard lounge of Draven Tower’s underground parking garage, Annie sat stiffly the couch, watching Draven and his bodyguards smoke and chat. A sense of dread settled over her.

“Mr. Jensen, you invited me here to discuss my parents property, but all you’re doing is chatting with your guards!” Annie protested.
“You wanted me to endorse your product, but my agent has told me it isn’t ready for the market and lacks the necessary paperwork. I can’t shoot any ads for you right now.”
Draven’s eyes scanned Annie’s body, a sly smile spreading across his face.
“Ms. Howell, we can discuss your parents‘ property whenever, and your endorsement can wait. Don’t worry. Everying can be arranged here. As long as you stay with me today, I’ll ensure your parents get more than just that one property. Draven Group can do anything in Howellstead! Hahaha … ”
Annie crossed her arms tightly. “Mr. Jensen, I’m a professional actress. I cannot agree to what you’re suggesting.”
Draven laughed loudly. “Ms. Annie, you think I don’t understand your industry? Don’t worry. As long as you’re with me, I’ll make you a star! I have the money, and if you agree to me, I’ll take care of your parents and make you the top celebrity. Becoming the best actress? That’s nothing for me.
“All those stars on stage–who doesn’t have a rich person paying the bills? Your acting is great, and you’re beautiful. With just a little investment, I can make you an international movie star in a year. Hahaha…”
Draven stood up, signaling his bodyguards to leave the room. He walked over to Annie, pulling her into an embrace.
