Chapter 954 What Can You Do About It?
Cuthbert''s frown eased when he saw L and his team arrive just in time.
He pointed venomously at Robin and threatened, "You''re going to regret messing around in my estate, young man. This will be the biggest mistake of your life!
"I won''t kill you right away. I''m going to make sure you wish you were dead!"
"Dad! Arrest this bastard!" Ellis howled painfully as he knelt on the ground, his legs soaked in blood, as he faced his father.
L''s gaze locked onto his son, who kneeled on the ground and saw the blood staining his legs. A fierce surge of anger shot through him.
"Cuthbert, who did this?"
Cuthbert pointed at Robin and said, "It''s this cocky young man from Draconia!"
L stared at Robin, his eyes narrowing.
As a former top mercenary, he could immediately sense a cold, murderous aura from this young man.
His instincts screamed that Robin was no ordinary person.
He was a foreigner, yet he dared to single-handedly challenge the Avingtons.
Either this young man was carrying out the orders of a powerful faction, or he could be a ruthless hitman.
L wasn''t sure how the Avingtons had gotten involved with someone like him, nor did he know Robin''s background.
He knew better than to make hasty decisions.
Having spent years in the underground world, L was more cautious than Cuthbert.
He knew that there were people in this world who should never be provoked.
Walking between the gray areas of life, one had to know when to retreat and when to advance.
If you didn''t, you''d end up in the grave sooner orter.
L wasn''t about to throw himself into this mess and be cannon fodder for the Avingtons'' enemies.
"L, this kid iswless. He came to my estate and started fighting the moment he arrived!" Cuthbert continued, sensing L''s hesitation.
"Look at this! All my estate''s guards are dead because of him!
"He broke my eldest son''s legs and beat my daughter!
"Even when your son tried to speak up, that kid beat Ellis to a pulp.
"If you don''t deal with this kid immediately, how will you ensure the safety of the ind''s residents and visitors?!"
Before L could respond, one of Cuthbert''s guards ran up to him. "Mr. Cuthbert, the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Draconia''s Thalrex Order, Mr. Mickton, has arrived at the estate as scheduled."
L paused, then lowered his voice and said, "Cuthbert, perhaps we should ask them to wait outside. If word of this spreads, it might make things difficult for the Aldridges. Mr. Felix might not be too pleased with our actions." Cuthbert frowned.
He knew that angering Felix could be disastrous for his family.
"Fine, we''ll deal with thister," Cuthbert muttered, ncing at his watch. "They''re here so early?"
He stepped forward to greet Anton.
"Hello, Mr. Mickton, wee to the estate."
He gestured apologetically at the state of the estate. "Sorry about this little disturbance. Please allow me to escort you to the VIP lounge while I handle this. I''ll be with you shortly."
Anton took a quick look at the estate, his face impassive. "Mr. Cuthbert, I didn''te here for a social call.
"To be honest, I''vee to address a long-standing matter involving your daughter."
"My daughter have something to do with this?" Cuthbert''s confusion was evident. "What do you mean, Mr. Mickton?"
Anton shrugged and said, "Twenty
years ago, I attended the summitzat the ind with a colleague from. Draconia. During that time, my colleague gave the Emberleaf Fans to a couple as a gift.
"With my current visit, I discovered it was taken by your daughter and her boyfriend." "Emberleaf Fans?" Cuthbert blinked, stunned.
At that moment, he noticed that
behind Anton, along with his two et
guards, Zayden and Trix, were a middle-aged couple from the ind and a young woman.
It was Ambrose and Dahlia, along with Kelsey.
Cuthbert suddenly understood Anton''s real purpose.
Anton was on the side of that cocky young man who showed up earlier.
Cuthbert pointed at Robin and asked, "You''re with him?"
Anton shrugged again, emotionless. "That doesn''t matter.
"Mr. Cuthbert, the jewelry your daughter took was specially made by the world''s top gemstone craftsmen for that gentleman''s children,missioned by the Thafrex Order''s diplomat couple.
Swn&
"Due to time constraints, that gentleman, in gratitude for Ambrose and Dahlia''s kindness, gave the jewelry to their daughter.
"What we didn''t expect was that those fans would bring Elodie to her death.
"Since Elodie''s death is connected to the jewelry we gave, we must take full responsibility for it."
Cuthbert sneered coldly, no longer polite. "Mr. Mickton, it''s just jewelry, isn''t it?
"I already told that young man earlier, even if Elodie had given those fans to my daughter, we would have simply paid you for them.
"We offered him ten million to buy the jewelry, but he refused.
"And now, you''ve caused such a mess at my estate, wrecking my family''s reputation!
"We need to settle this matter properly."
Ambrose could no longer hold back. "Those jewels weren''t given to your daughter by Elodie!
"Sadie and Ellis, those devils, stole them. They even brutally killed my daughter!"
"You''re lying!" Cuthbert exploded, interrupting Ambrose.
"You lowly sc*m! You have no right to speak on my territory!
"Police Chief L, arrest this troublemaker immediately!"
"I dare you!" Robin pointed at Ellis.
"Police Chief L, before you carry out Cuthbert''s arrest order, you better think carefully. Otherwise, I''ll kill your son!"
One of the blue-d guards immediately drew a dagger and pointed it at Ellis''s throat.
"Y-you dare!" L roared. "If you touch my son, I''ll deal with everyst one of you thugs!"
"I''ll act as I please. What can you do to me?" Robin scoffed. "Go ahead-break his arm!"
With a sharp, sickening crack, Ellis screamed in agony as his arm was severed.
The 20 armed police officers who had entered the estate immediately aimed their guns at Robin.
