Chapter 218
The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 218 She's Trying to Teach You Some Manners
Robin paid no attention to Ruby's yelling as he moved ahead.
He found it pointless to engage with someone so full of herself.
Ruby seethed with anger.
During the entire auction, Robin had treated her as if she didn't exist.
This infuriated her even more.
Who did he think I was?
I am the daughter of the president of Brookhaven Martial Alliance.
Everyone in the underground had to refer to her as Ms. Quinn. Yet, this id*ot was completely ignoring her!
She couldn't bear the embarrassment!
The more she mulled it over, the angrier she became, chasing after Robin and yelling, "You fool, are you ignoring me? Let me repeat myself. The Violet Wyvernroot must be kept safe for me! If anything happens to it, I will make you pay!" Robin halted in his tracks.
Daphne said sharply, "Ms. Quinn, do you have any sense of decency? Just because your father leads the Brookhaven Martial Alliance doesn't give you the right to act so rudely, barking like a lunatic!
"At the auction, whoever has the strength will win any item. That's how it works, got it? Didn't your parents explain this to you before you came here?"
Ruby jabbed a finger at Robin, "Those rules don't matter to me! If I want the Violet Wyvernroot, you have to hand it over! If you think you can fight me for it, I'll make sure you regret it!"
"Hahaha... "A captivating smile appeared on Daphne's usually cold face.
"Ms. Quinn, is this really how your parents taught you to behave?
"Today, I finally realize how vile the Brookhaven Martial Alliance really is, a sect like this!
"If your parents failed to teach you manners, then let me do it. When you're out in the world, ignoring the rules has its consequences. Now get lost!"
Ruby glared with rage, "Who do you think you are? Just a minor Violetcrest International, daring to insult the Brookhaven Martial Alliance? Aren't you worried that my dad will wipe you out in his fury?"
"I wasn't aware of what might happen before, but now I can confidently say your dad, Kyler, wouldn't dare!" Daphne retorted with a chilling laugh.
"An arrogant Brookhaven Martial Arts Alliance like yours won't last if you keep this up!"
"How dare you speak so disrespectfully about our Brookhaven Martial Alliance!" Ruby shook with fury.
Daphne replied with a sneer, "What if I do insult you? Someone like you, who clearly doesn't know their place, shouldn't even be here.
"Talking to a foolish and clueless woman like you is pointless. Just leave!
"If you disrespect Mr. Ramsey again, I can make sure you regret it right here and now!"
"You! How dare you threaten me?" Ruby gasped in shock, staring at Daphne in disbelief.
A minor player like Violetcrest International has the audacity to speak so arrogantly to me?
Daphne replied icily, "What if I do threaten you?"
Ruby shouted in fury, pointing at the four bodyguards, "Eliminate her!"
"Hold on!" Anthony hurried out of the hotel. "Ms. Quinn, what are you doing?!
"I suggest you stop causing a scene! It won't end well for you!
"Moreover, at auctions, it's always the one with the money who makes the rules.
"If your Brookhaven Martial Alliance isn't willing to pay the price for the Violet Wyvernroot, do you really want to act tough?
"In that case, my family is more than ready to step in and teach you a lesson in manners!"
Ruby shot a furious glare at Anthony. "You! Mr. Anthony, are you really going to do this? Are you trying to challenge our Brookhaven Martial Alliance?"
Anthony paused for a moment. "Ms. Quinn, let me put it this way! If you keep causing trouble and disrupting the guests at the Nevilles' auction, I will have no choice but to get involved!"
Before Ruby could respond, Robin arched an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Anthony, your family doesn't need to get involved here. If the Brookhaven Martial Alliance has a problem, they can come to me directly." Anthony realized that Robin was determined to handle this situation on his own.
As a Divine Drakebane, he wouldn't accept assistance from anyone.
In the presence of the Divine Drakebane, the Brookhaven Martial Alliance seemed trivial!
The Nevilles couldn't gain any favor with such a powerful figure.
Anthony had no choice but to say, "Understood! I will heed Mr. Ramsey's instructions!"
Liam, Zachary, Alice, and Vera closely followed as they left the hotel.
Witnessing the scene, a sly smile crept onto Liam's face.
He approached Anthony quickly and said with a grin, "Mr. Anthony, could you do me a favor?"
Anthony frowned slightly.
Liam continued casually, "What I mean is, can we sit down and talk about the ownership of this Violet Wyvernroot?
"You see, the father of the president of Brookhaven Martial Alliance, Mr. Ronald Quinn, is a highly esteemed master.
"Years ago, he had to leave the underground because of a mysterious illness.
"Later, the head of Healing Haven, Mr. Apollo Whitlock, recommended a treatment for him. He needs to take a pill made from Violet Wyvernroot every 18 years to extend his life. "This marks the second 18-year cycle. Ms. Quinn wishes to buy the Violet Wyvernroot to prepare the pill for Mr. Qian, which shows her devotion and can certainly be understood. "Mr. Anthony, what I'm saying is, could you do me a favor and hand over the Violet Wyvernroot to Ms. Quinn? I'll handle the negotiations with Robin and Ms. West regarding this." Anthony let out a cold snort. "Liam, do you really think you have any influence over me?
"How dare you make such a ridiculous request, asking Mr. Ramsey to give the Violet Wyvernroot to Ronald! Have you ever thought about whether Ronald can bear it? "Moreover, our family has maintained our status as a top martial arts family for many years based on integrity and principles. We would never resort to such underhanded tactics!" Liam grinned, "Mr. Anthony, you are spot on. I fully support what you said. I have a deep respect for how the Nevilles operates and your values in underground."
With a lowered voice, Liam continued, "I assume you know Mr. Drogo, the Vice Dragon Leader of Phoenix Vanguard, don't you?"
Anthony's body shivered slightly, staring at Liam in disbelief.
Liam offered a subtle smile and added, "Mr. Anthony, I have a bit of a connection with Mr. Drogo."
At that moment, Anthony recalled some whispers circulating in the underground.
It was rumored that Liam had been thriving in Harmonfield for the last five years thanks to the backing of Mr. Drogo, the Vice Dragon Leader of Phoenix Vanguard.
Noticing Anthony's uncertainty, Liam added, "Mr. Anthony, I don't want to pressure you. I'll go speak with Ms. West and Robin regarding this issue."
Anthony remained silent and shifted his gaze toward Robin Ramsey.
Liam hurried over to Robin.
"Robin, Ms. West, hear me out. I'm aware that you purchased the Violet Wyvernroot, and there's quite a bit of tension surrounding it.
"I'm suggesting that since we're all individuals of influence, we shouldn't allow these minor issues to damage our connections. It's not worth creating animosity with Brookhaven Martial Alliance over something as trivial as a Violet Wyvernroot. Instead..." Daphne let out a disdainful huff, cutting him off, "I refuse to agree!"
Liam hesitated and turned to Robin. "Robin, do you share the same opinion?"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Robin kept a blank expression and replied, "Who do you think you are? Just leave!"
Alice, witnessing Robin's disrespectful behavior, stepped in and scolded, "Robin, what kind of attitude is that?
"Mr. Liam is trying to assist you, yet you refuse to recognize it! Do you understand that if you provoke Brookhaven Martial Alliance and Phoenix Vanguard, you might not even realize how it will end for you? You should quickly kneel and apologize to Mr. Liam and Ms. West!" Rita moved forward and struck Alice across the face. "I warned you before. If you speak out of turn in front of Mr. Ramsey again, I won't hesitate to take you down! Now get out of here!"
Alice held her cheek, glancing from Liam to Zachary.
Vera quickly stepped in and pulled Alice aside. "Alice, you shouldn't get mixed up in this."
Turning to Ruby, she continued, "Ms. Quinn, even though you hold a high position in the Brookhaven Martial Alliance, you still need to adhere to certain rules in your behavior.
"The auction revolves around wealth. Those who can pay get to voice their opinions. If you lack the funds, even if you desire the item, there's nothing you can do.
"If you genuinely wish to save your grandfather's life, consider negotiating with different parties. Threats and intimidation will lead you nowhere..."
"What do you think you're doing?" Ruby raised her hand to strike Vera, but Robin seized her wrist.
"She's trying to teach you some manners, and you still want to hit her? Pathetic!" With that, he released Ruby and took Vera away.
Ruby remained frozen for quite some time.
She couldn't understand what Robin had done to her. She was left paralyzed and unable to move.
Fuming with rage, she yelled at the guards, "Take that b*stard out for me!"
At her command, the four bodyguards quickly charged toward Robin.
Rita halted and glanced at the four muscular men approaching.
Compared to them, Rita's small frame appeared delicate and insignificant.
To onlookers, it seemed like a lopsided confrontation.
But in an instant, within the blink of an eye, all four bodyguards were sprawled on the ground.
Liam, Zachary, Alice, and the others were taken aback.
How could the four bodyguards of Ms. Quinn from the Brookhaven Martial Alliance be so easily overpowered?
Rita glanced up at Ruby and scoffed, "You dare to show your face like this? Go home and play the sweet little girl for your parents. Otherwise, you'll meet your end out here sooner or later!" Ruby shook with fury.
This was the first time in her life that someone of a servant status had humiliated her.
Fuming, she glared at the backs of Robin and the others, screaming hysterically, "Just wait! When my dad arrives tomorrow, I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy!"
Though she was nearly driven mad with rage and yearned to charge at Robin, she found herself completely immobilized.
In despair, she cried out with a pained expression, "Mr. Anthony, can you help me? I have no idea what that b*stard did to me. I can't move!"
Anthony shook his head, gently patting her back while sighing, "Ms. Quinn, I recommend you to calm down. If you don't, you might bring trouble to your Brookhaven Martial Alliance!"
Only then was Ruby able to move again. As she watched Robin leave, she gritted her teeth and muttered, "Who does he think he is? The Brookhaven Martial Alliance will make him pay for this!"
