Chapter 898 A Devastating Disaster


    The entrance to the Qacalisle International Convention Center was in utter chaos.


    Trix, Zayden, and two of Jethro''s guards charged into a group of 30 Mateo family guards, cutting through them like a storm, leaving them overwhelmed and in disarray.


    Many of the guards didn''t even have time to draw their weapons before losing the ability to fight.


    The security team from the Thalrex Order, responsible for maintaining order at the event, quickly intervened to control the area and issued a strict directive prohibiting anyone from firing their guns to prevent the situation from escting further. The Qacalisle Summit Committee promptly activated its emergency response n.


    The morning session was canceled and rescheduled for 9 a.m. the following day.


    Delegates from various regions observed the unexpectedmotion with enthusiasm.


    A conflict entirely unrted to their own affairs had unexpectedly be the day''s main attraction.


    The swarm of reporters experienced a surge of adrenaline, frantically turning on every piece of recording equipment they had.


    Switching between wide-angle shots and close-ups, they captured the chaos with enthusiasm.


    This unexpected breaking news, once broadcast, was bound to be a global sensation.


    Right when everyone was so worked up they were out of their minds, a representative from the Thalrex Order''s summitmittee arrived on the scene.


    The representative immediately ordered all media personnel to cease filming at once.


    Any recorded footage was also to be deleted immediately.


    This directive sparked a wave of protests from the press, united in their objection to the sudden restriction.


    However, as soon as they heard the next words from the head of themittee official, the room fell silent.


    "If any of you feel this vites your freedom to report, you''re wee to proceed as you wish.


    "But let me remind you, this matter involves the Aldridges. If you insist on pushing forward, go ahead.


    "However, I urge you not to underestimate the power of the world''s most influential family.


    "And don''t assume that the rules of any nation apply when ites to the methods of such powerhouse."


    With those words, the scene fell into a heavy silence.


    Every journalist present understood the weight of themittee head''s words.


    When it came down to choosing between profits and life, life was undoubtedly the priority.


    Nobody wants to offend the family that was beyond the reach of thew.


    Furthermore, the Thalrex Ordermittee had no desire to be entangled in any unnecessary trouble.


    They approached Jackson and his group, instructing them to handle the situation swiftly and quietly.


    If this incident were to negatively impact the summit meeting, they would hold him ountable.


    Jackson repeatedly assured them that the matter would be resolved and the summit would proceed smoothly.


    Then, with the support of two guards, he approached Asher and, pointing at Robin, coldly snapped, "Release Mr. Asher immediately! "Your reckless behavior is uneptable! You have no sense of order or discipline!


    "Do you have any idea the trouble you''ve caused for our team? Hmph, just wait until you return to face the consequences!"


    With that, he shed a forced smile and bowed to Asher. "Mr. Asher, on behalf of my team, I offer my apologies!


    "We will order those involved in this fight to go to the police station to negotiate a solution to this matter..."


    Asher, gritting through the pain of his broken leg, shouted in fury, "Get lost! This is far from over. The Cattells will never let this go! "This matter is non-negotiable!"


    Then, he pointed at Robin and roared, "I want him dead!"


    Then, he turned to a curly-haired man standing nearby. "Lovell, call my father!


    "Bring in every top guard from the Cattells. Today, he must die!"


    Realizing the situation was escting rapidly and Asher was determined to take Robin''s life, Jackson was momentarily at a loss.


    Furious, he pointed at Robin. "Look at this! Look at the mess you''ve caused!


    "Tell me, how are we supposed to resolve this?


    "Mr. Cattell, the chief manager of Qacalisle Ind, will be here soon. If he insists that you must die to settle this, there will be no room for negotiation! "Considering we were once a team, I''ll give you a warning. Only you can save yourself now!"


    Robin smirked indifferently. "You''ve been the one making a scene from the start. No one asked you to step in and take responsibility."


    Jackson, fuming with anger, was left momentarily speechless. "Fine, fine! Ignorance is bliss! Just wait-"


    "Get lost!" Robin sneered, his voice so sharp it startled Jackson.


    He spun around and hurried to Jethro, pounding his fist in frustration. "General Quintana, things have escted to this point. What do we do now?" Jethro snorted dismissively. "What''s the big deal? It''s just a few local thugs from Qacalisle Ind getting a lesson. How bad could it be?" Jackson was momentarily stunned. "You don''t think this is a big deal?


    "General Quintana, what is Robin''s background? Why are you protecting him like this?


    "Do you realize the summitmittee has already ordered us to resolve this matter quickly? If we don''t, they''ll hold us responsible!


    "Now, contact the relevant authorities back home and negotiate this matter through higher-level channels="


    Before Jackson could finish, Jethro


    snorted coldly. "Mr. Pryce, I''m in


    charge here. I warn you, if you dare to report this matter without authorization, I will make yo@pay the price.


    "Your mindset isn''t fit for such an important position anymore. You should start thinking about your own future.


    "You''re ordering us around to do something so humiliating. I just can''t understand, whose side are you on?"


    Jackson was stunned for a moment, his tone softening as he said, "General Quintana, that''s not what I meant. What I''m saying is, things have escted to this point-" Jethro''s voice turned cold. "No matter how bad things get, it''s not the issue.


    "What matters is, we didn''t start this, they did!


    "Our principle is to avoid trouble, but we never back down from it.


    "No matter how powerful the ones who start the conflict are, we must strike back without hesitation!


    "Neverpromise, never retreat, never show mercy!


    "Even if it''s someone from the Aldridge family, if they provoke us unreasonably, we won''t tolerate it!"


    "Ah! This is crazy,pletely crazy!" Jackson couldn''t believe it. He never thought Jethro would be so lenient with Robin on this matter.


    ...


    Trix and Zayden, having thoroughly beaten down Asher''s guards, were excited by the victory.


    Returning to Robin''s side, they


    learned that the chief manager of Qacalisle Ind, Mateo Cattell, wasing in person to handle the


    situation. Their excitement


    immediately turned to consel.ne


    sw nev


    Trix whispered, "Mr. Ramsey, Mateo is the chief manager of Qacalislez Ind, directly appointed by the Aldridges. With things escting like this, will it be difficult to resolve this "


    Zayden nervously nced at Robin.


    While the thrill of the moment was undeniable, they both knew that the Aldridges were the world''s most powerful family.


    If this wasn''t handled properly, they would face a devastating disaster.
