Chapter 929 Challenging the Caffereys
The grand banquet hall fell into a deathly silence, broken only by Lue''s soft sobs of gratitude.
The heartfelt scene stood in stark contrast to the earlier bloody carnage under the glow of the dazzling chandeliers.
Many realized that they were the perfect embodiment of a hero and his damsel in distress.
It wasn''t until now that the distinguished guests from high society truly understood why Lue was so enamored with the quiet and low-key young man.
Compared to the so-called Spartine Warrior Champion, Robin was the real deal.
Amid envious stares, Robin gently patted Lue on the head.
"The Dark Night Alliance is also my mortal enemy. Anyone who dares conspire with them will meet their end by my hand."
Nestor and Teagan visibly flinched at his words.
Without exchanging a word, they turned in unison and attempted to quietly slip out of the banquet hall.
Then, Robin pulled his hand free from Lue''s tight grip. "Come on. This isn''t the time for you to be clingy. There''s still work to be done."
Lue nodded obediently and stepped aside.
Robin retrieved a wet wipe and began cleaning his hands. His calm yetmanding voice cut through the room like a de. "Did I say you could leave?" The already heavy atmosphere became even more oppressive.
The stench of blood hung thick in the air, intensified by the nting rays of afternoon sunlight baking the floor, where Abel''s lifeblood and remains had pooled. Robin''s stern reprimand sent shivers through the guests, snapping them out of their stupor.
They wondered about Robin''s ns.
They were curious if he truly meant to follow through on his earlier deration to wipe out the Spartine Warriorspletely.
In their eyes, he was insane to even entertain such an idea.
The Spartine Warriors were backed by the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance.
Daring to provoke the Spartine Warriors was tantamount to dering war on the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance itself and, by extension, on their financial backers. The Caffereys were one of the colossal conglomerates supporting them.
There was no way Robin could fight them alone.
Even the Aldridges couldn''t afford to take on such a coalition of power.
They couldn''t help but guess if Robin was going to ignite a global feud among the elites.
Nestor raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Kid, what''s the meaning of this? Don''t tell me you actually n to provoke the Spartine Warriors."
Robin tossed the wet wipe to the ground and replied coolly, "No. I''m eradicating them. Today, you will die, and the Spartine Warriors will be wiped from the earth." The entire hall fell silent.
He wasn''t bluffing or threatening.
He meant every word.
He wanted to kill Nestor and wipe out the Spartine Warriors single-handedly!
He''s not insane, is he?
Nestor was dumbfounded. He thought he was hearing things.
As Robin''s icy gaze met his, the realization struck like a lightning bolt.
He wasn''t joking.
After a brief moment of panic, Nestor scoffed. "You think you can just erase the Spartine Warriors as you like? Who do you think you are?
"Kid, I''d advise you to quit while you''re ahead and leave yourself a way out.
"The Spartine Warriors are backed by the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance!
"Even the Aldridges have to show us respect. Now, I''ll ask you one more time-do you still want to act so recklessly?"
Robin smirked. "I''ve never cared about consequences or escape routes. If I say I''ll kill you, you won''t live past today.
"If I say the Spartine Warriors will cease to exist, it''ll happen in mere moments."
He turned and gestured toward the shadowy figures of the blue-d guards stationed nearby. "In five minutes, eliminate the Southe Panacea Ocean Spartine Warriors."
en
The hall was dead silent, save for the sound of hearts pounding in collective disbelief.
Even Nestor stood rooted to the spot.
Never before in his life had he felt such a fear.
The refined young man had an unyielding aura from hell.
Nestor gulped nervously and nced at Teagan, whose own expression betrayed his terror.
"Do you think we will just let you ughter us without doing
Gathering his courage, he
anything? Don''t forget, we have the backing of the Caffereys!"
Teagan flinched at his words. He was being dragged into this mess.
Before Teagan could react, Robin''s faint smile deepened. "Did I ever say I''d let him go?" Teagan''s heart sank. Under the piercing light of the chandeliers, he stared at Robin in disbelief.
At this point, all he could do wassh out in desperation.
"What do you mean? Are you seriously nning to challenge the Caffereys?"
"And what if I am? What can the Caffereys do about it?" His tone and gaze were indifferent.
It was as if stepping on the Caffereys was no more difficult than squashing an ant.
Robin''s boldness left everyone dumbfounded.
What kind of lunatic would dare say something so utterly outrageous?
He was casually dering his intent to crush the Caffereys after taking on the Spartine Warriors.
Did he n to trample half the world''s elite beneath his feet?
Before anyone could process Robin''s words, a shadow flickered across the room.
With two sharp, resounding ps, Teagan and Nestor were sent flying, crashing to the ground like lifeless dolls.
These men, once symbols of unrivaled power, nowy crumpled on the floor.
From the moment Robin entered the hall, he had been humble and elegant.
However, Teagan and Nestor had relentlessly provoked him.
Their arrogance and bravado made them act as though they were untouchable, expecting the entire world to bow to their whims.
But now, the same man who had maintained his humble demeanor had revealed his true nature. His violence was both terrifying and unstoppable.
Pierre, who was watching from the sidelines, trembled with awe and exhration.
His gaze was burning with admiration.
This was the man his father had told him to follow.
Not only Robin''s martial prowess was beyondprehension, but every word and action demanded Pierre''s absolute respect.
To follow such a man was an honor.
Pierre straightened his back and moved to stand behind Robin with pride.
He wanted to bask in this unparalleled man''s presence and witness true heroism firsthand.
Meanwhile, Robin wiped his hands and slowly approached the two crumpled figures on the floor.
The rhythmic ck of his boots against the floor echoed like a death knell through the hall.
"Wh-what do you want?" Teagan stammered.
Every instinct screamed that this man was no ordinary adversary.
The icy grip of impending death wed at his spine.
"Don''t forget-I''m the heir of the Caffereys! If you harm me, my father, my grandfather, and all the Caffereys will hunt you to the ends of the earth!"
Robinughed mockingly and said, "Is that so? Let''s see what happens if Iy a finger on you."
Crack!
Robin''s boot came down hard, leaving Teagan''s thigh severely injured.
