Just as Robin was about to get back in the car and ram the Pagani out of the way, a BMW pulled up beside them.
"Vera?" Alice poked her head out of the BMW's window, looking surprised.
"What are you doing here?"
When she saw Robin standing there, along with a disheveled woman with a swollen, red cheek and two dented cars, she instantly understood what was going on.
Zachary, sitting in the driver's seat, leaned out with a smirk. "Robin, got into a crash, did you?
"Hahaha... seems like trouble follows you everywhere. Did you actually hit soone too? Now that's entertaining!"
Vera, seeing Alice and Zachary pull up, walked over and asked, "Alice, what are you guys doing here?"
Alice sighed and said, "You're asking why we're here? What about you and Robin? Why are you here?"
"And why wouldn't we be?" Vera replied, annoyed. "There's no sign saying only you can be here!"
Alice glanced at Robin with a sneer. "We're here to et with Mr. Hamilton for business. You're just here to snap a few photos and put on a little show for , aren't you? "Vera, I don't know what's gotten into you lately. Why are you always hanging around soone as low-class as Robin?
"What kind of tricks is he using to fool you?
"Honestly, coming all the way out to Dawnspire Heights Estates early in the morning just to take a few silly photos to show ?
"I get what he's trying to do. He just wants to take him back."
Vera was beyond exasperated. "Alice, you're overthinking this! Nobody's trying to impress you, especially not Robin.
"Does soone of his standing really need to put on a show for you?"
Alice exchanged a aningful look with Zachary, and they both burst out laughing.
"Robin's standing? He's a holess nobody who survives by sweet-talking and scamming people!
"Vera, wake up already!
"One day, you'll regret it when he's conned you out of everything!"
"Enough! You wouldn't believe even if I told you!" Vera shot Alice a glare.
"One day, when you find out Robin is the actual owner of Villa One at Dawnspire Heights Estates, you're going to have nowhere to hide your regret!"
"Him, the owner of Villa One? Hahaha!" Alice and Zachary practically doubled over with laughter.
"Then I guess I'm the queen of Violetcrest!" Alice cackled.
"Keep dreaming! And now, after damaging soone's Pagani, I wonder if he can even afford the repair."
"Looks like he might end up on his knees begging for forgiveness," Zachary mocked, shooting Robin a taunting look.
"Causing trouble around here? Good luck getting out of it unscathed."
Robin chuckled. "What happens to isn't any of your concern."
"Robin, that's a three-million-dollar Pagani! Can you afford to pay for that?" Zachary sneered.
Robin shot back, unfazed, "I still have that 300 million you two so kindly donated to my account. Three million is nothing."
Zachary clenched his teeth, but he had no coback.
Seeing the others mocking Robin, the woman with the Pagani got even more arrogant.
"You see that, kid?" she taunted.
"A broke nobody like you trying to act tough in front of us? You don't have the guts!
"Didn't you say you were going to hit my car? Go on, if you dare!"
Robin gave her a mischievous smile. "Oh, you asked for it. If that's what you want, I'm happy to oblige."
Without waiting for anyone to react, he got back in the Land Rover, backed up about ten feet, shifted into the highest gear, and slamd straight into the Pagani. "Crash!"
The sturdy Land Rover smashed into the right side of the Pagani, crumpling its fra.
Screams erupted from the bystanders.
The woman was in complete shock-she never imagined Robin would actually dare to crash into her three-million-dollar luxury car.
After a mont of stunned silence, Alice just shook her head with a bitter smile.
"A brute, nothing but a brute. All he knows is brute force."
Zachary's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
While three million wasn't an astronomical sum to him, he would never treat money so recklessly.
This guy's insane!
As everyone stared in disbelief, Robin backed up the Land Rover again-once, twice, three tis-ramming into the Pagani until i I was nothing but a pile of twisted tal. He got out of the car, looked at the woman, and said, "Satisfied? Now, na your price."
The woman was hysterical.
"You're dead! Even if you offered to buy two new cars, I wouldn't take it!"
"Forget it!" Robin scoffed, climbing back into the car and motioning to Vera.
"What are you waiting for? Get in."
Just then, four BMW SUVS roared up and surrounded the Land Rover.
Eleven or twelve n jumped out, each holding a machete in hand.
A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses waved his thick arms as he approached, calling out to the woman by the Pagani.
"Sweetheart, what happened? Which bastard hit you? I'll kill him!"
The woman ran to him with tears in her eyes. "Dad! It was him! He slapped .
"And look! He completely wrecked my car!"
The man's eyes narrowed with fury as he looked Robin up and down. "Kid, get on your knees!
"Where the hell did you co from? Do you have any idea who I am? How dare you hit my daughter!"
Robin chuckled lightly. "I don't care who you are. Your daughter was out of line, so I just taught her a lesson on how to behave."
"Oh, really? Then maybe I should teach you how to behave," the man sneered.
Zachary laughed. "This guy has a death wish, no doubt about it."
He leaned toward Alice and said, "Do you know who that is? His na is Austin Maddox. He's friends with Logan, the manager of Dawnspire Security Company!
"It's said that Austin and Logan used to be rcenaries in the Lunelle area.
"These days, Austin runs security for high-end nightclubs around Harmonfield, and he's got close to a hundred n under him-hardened criminals with blood on their hands. "Even Rygar's infamous 'Devil' has to give him so respect.
"Robin's actually talking back to him? He's suicidal!"
Austin let out a sinister laugh. "You've got guts, I'll give you that. Alright, boys, take him down!"
With a wave of his hand, a dozen n wielding machetes charged toward Robin.
"Hold it! All of you, back off!" A burly man stepped forward, halting the group.
It was Logan, the manager of Dawnspire Security Company.
"Austin, what's going on here? Bringing all these guys to cause trouble at the entrance to the villa district? What are you doing?"
Austin turned to him and said, "Mr. Barrett, this kid wrecked my daughter's car and hit her, too.
"Tell shouldn't I take him down?"
Logan looked Robin over and said, "Young man, you're in the wrong here.
"Why resort to violence? Couldn't you talk things out?"
Before Robin could respond, Austin interjected impatiently, "Mr. Barrett, stay out of this!
"Today, I'm not leaving until I've taught this punk a lesson!"
Logan frowned. "Austin, Mr. Hartley is coming to the villa district soon to deliver Ms. West's instructions to us at Dawnspire Security Company.
"He'll be here any minute. You causing a scene here isn't exactly making my job easy, is it?"
Austin paused for a mont, then said, "Alright, Mr. Barrett, I'll do you a favor. I won't handle him here. I'll take him back with to deal with him." Logan looked at Robin and said, "Alright, young man, you caused this ss, so you'll have to deal with the consequences.
"Go with Austin and settle it."
Robin smirked. "Of course I'll handle my own business.
"But as for where we settle it-that's not for you to decide."
Austin sneered, "Mr. Barrett, you see how arrogant this kid is?"
Logan's face twisted into a cold smile. "In this area, I call the shots.
"Young man, I'm warning you don't push ."
Robin chuckled. "You're warning ? And who the hell do you think you are?"
Logan's expression darkened. "How dare you!"
Seeing Logan's reaction, Austin quickly motioned for his n, and a dozen thugs closed in around Robin.
"Vera, hurry up and get in our car!" Alice shouted from the sidelines.
Vera ignored her and Zachary, moving swiftly to Robin's side instead.
Logan then signaled to the 30 security guards he'd brought to clear the area.
Alice, Zachary, and the onlookers were swiftly escorted away, leaving only Robin, Vera, Austin, and his n.
This was to prevent any footage of the fight from leaking out online.
The woman from the Pagani strutted up to Robin and Vera, full of arrogance. "Well, tough guy, why don't you hit again?"
Robin gave her a cold smile. "You're asking for it."
With that, he raised his hand and slapped her so hard she was thrown to the ground.
Austin, now furious, ordered his thugs to rush at Robin and Vera.
Just then, a Humr rolled up to the villa gates.
Rowan stepped out of the vehicle.
"Mr. Hartley, I apologize there's been an incident here..." Logan quickly stepped forward to report.
Austin also stepped up respectfully. "Good to see you, Mr. Hartley."
Rowan ignored them both and walked straight over to Robin.
Austin was thrilled, thinking Rowan was going to personally deal with Robin for causing trouble in his territory.
"Kid, do you know who this is? This is Mr. Hartley!
"Heh, causing trouble in Mr. Hartley and Mr. Barrett's territory? You're asking to die!"
