Valda stood frozen in terror, her body trembling violently. A dark stain spread across her pants-she had lost control out of sheer fear.
"H-How can you hit a woman? I ... I''m calling the police!"
Robin wiped the blood off his palm with a wet wipe, then slowly lifted his gaze. "A woman?" He scoffed. "You think someone as vile as you deserves to be called that?"
"You... You''re too violent! How can you act like this in a civilized institution? I-I''m calling the police!" Valda stammered, desperately clutching her phone.
Zolent? Civilized? Tell me when you spread vile rumors online,
Robin shook his head, chuckling darkly.
falsely using Joanna, what did you call that? When you turned this sacred ce of learning into a den of deceit and cruelty, did you think that was civilized? You had no problem ruthlessly destroying someone else''s life-but now that it''s your turn to suffer, suddenly I''m the violent one? Someone as poisonous as you doesn''t deserve to exist in this world."
He tossed the wet wipe aside and stepped toward Valda.
The entire za-and the thousands watching the live stream-held their breath, knowing exactly what was about to happen.
"N-No! Stay away from me! Help! Ms. Field, call someone-!"
Crack.
With one swift motion, Robin crushed Valda''s throat.
A bloodcurdling scream erupted from the crowd as Valda copsed lifelessly to the ground.
Hadden, Cadoc, and Yvonne recoiled in horror, their bodies trembling uncontrobly.
It was only now, in the face of cold-blooded death, that they truly understood-Robin wasn''t bluffing. He was capable of killing them.
All for what?
They''d assumed it was just a smear campaign-some nder, rumors of Joanna''s supposed affairs. Destroying a powerless girl''s reputation seemed inconsequential.
At worst, maybe they''d have to pay a small settlement fee if things escted.
How had ite to this?
Even when Catherine and the others had arrived, Yvonne had still believed they were only trying to intimidate her.
She had thought that once her father showed up, the worst-case scenario would be offering an apology and smoothing things over.
But now, reality was sinking in.

Frantically, she fumbled for her phone, managing to send a distress message to her father.
She could only pray that he would find someone powerful enough to make this problem disappear. Meanwhile, Tristram hesitantly approached Robin. "A-Ahem... Sir-"

"Get lost," Robin cut him off, gesturing toward the massive screen on the side of the teaching building, "Your sins will be dealt with soon enough. Take a look at that and count how many times over you should be dead by now. Sexual exploitation of students. Fabricated research. Embezzlement of 30 million in aid funds meant for impoverished students. The attempted silencing of a whistleblower..."
The screen illuminated, revealing a damning list of crimes. Tristram and the other department heads paled as they read through the details.
It wasn''t just general usations-the records were horrifyingly detailed.
Time-stamped meetings in seedy hotels. Graphic ounts of encounters with female students and assistants. Records of money siphoned from schrships and aid programs.
Every vile act was meticulously documented.
They copsed to the ground, all traces of defiance gone.
Even they couldn''t find an excuse to justify the grotesque sins staring back at them.
They weren''t the only ones in shock. The students watched the screen in disbelief, and felt their entire worldview shatter.
Some professors and schrs, true academics who had dedicated their lives to knowledge, stood in silent agony. How had their beloved institution, a ce meant to cultivate wisdom and virtue, been infested by such corruption?
This was supposed to be a sanctuary for learning. A haven for noble minds.
Yet, the righteous had been suppressed while parasites sat on the thrones of academia.
How had things decayed so badly?
Looking at the bright-eyed students on campus-the next generation, still pure and hopeful-many felt deep sorrow.
How could these young minds thrive in a ce so thoroughly tainted?
Vroom! Vroom!
The deafening roar of engines filled the air.
The elite guards of the Seven Great Royal Houses arrived like a storm, their vehicles screeching to a halt in the za.
At the same time, Brighton University''s senior leadership rushed to the scene-only to be blocked by the royal guards.
Meanwhile, Hunter Baxter, having just finished reporting to militarymand, arrived with an official military directive and an internal affairs squad.

He stepped forward and saluted Robin. "Commander-in-Chief Ramsey, the military has been informed.
All relevant departments have been ordered to cooperate fully with you in handling this matter."
Robin nced at the forces gathered before him, his expression indifferent.
"Commander Baxter, I appreciate your effort," he said calmly. "But I''m no longer a military officer. This is my family''s business. It has nothing to do with the army. Please stand down. I need no outside interference."
"Understood, sir!"
A blue-d guard stepped forward and saluted. "Mr. Ramsey, the video of Melissa and Michelle''s conversation has been uploaded to the live stream."
"y it," Robinmanded coldly.
Catherine''s body tensed. Her gaze shifted to her grandfather and father.
Hannibal furrowed his brow but eventually nodded. Beforeing here, the Westeria Residence had already learned of this development. Catherine clenched her fists, tears welling in her eyes.
"How could my brother do something so vile?"
She turned her gaze toward Robin, watching his lone figure in the sunlight. For the first time, she felt an unfamiliar sense of distance between them. A feeling of loss.
Meanwhile, Elliott clenched his jaw, ring at his grandfather. "Michelle haspletely lost her mind!" he muttered bitterly.
Orson sighed wearily, turning to his son, As. "Summon your sister. If she doesn''t offer Mr. Ramsey and Ms. Renee a proper exnation, I''ll never face the Dragon Lord in the afterlife."
At that moment, the massive campus screen switched feeds-disying an encrypted live stream hacked directly from the dark web.
Inside a luxurious hotel suite-
Michelle was about to start video call with Melissa.
Zayn sat beside her, pretending to read a fashion magazine.
On the other end of the call, Melissa grinned smugly.
"Michelle, Joanna''s toast this time, I''m telling you! She could disappear off the face of the earth, and she''d
still be branded a scarlet woman! My sister stered her ''scandal'' all over campus! Check the inte-
it''s blowing up with stories about Joanna and some sugar daddies! There are even fake nudes going around! Hahaha!"
Michelle nced at Zayn, visibly uneasy.
"Melissa, this kind of false usation could backfire," she said hesitantly. "If Joanna takes this to court, you do realize this is defamation, right?"
Melissa burst intoughter.
"Court? Michelle, are you seriously ying dumb?" she mocked.

"You and Zayn should know that thew is a joke for people like us. My father has connections everywhere. Judges, prosecutors-the whole nine yards. Ruining Joanna legally? Child''s y. Hahaha! My father says Robin''s washed up, no military clout. He can''t touch the Fields. And that p at Cafe Lake Dragonia? He and his sister will pay dearly!"
