Chapter 35 The Jerk Steals the Show Again. The empty banquet hall was in dead silence.
No one ever thought that Deandre Bucher, the brutal killer who had been ferocious all his life, would end his life in such an inconspicuous
way. He wrapped up his ruthless killing spree in the most unassuming
manner.
Robin seemed to be dodging and kicking at random, purely on instinct.
But he defeated the incredibly strong Deandre Bucher.
Was it pure luck or Robin had insurmountable fighting skills?
While others were guessing, Leonel watched as the fighting unfolded.
Leonel had thought that Robin and he were roughly equal.
Now, it appeared that he was nowhere near Robin.
Leonel hadn’t even made it to the entry level when compared to Robin.
Leonel and Deandre Bucher’s understanding of fighting was still limited to physical skills. In comparison, Robin had already reached the spiritual realm.
“Thank you, sir, for saving my life.” Leonel threw himself onto his knees in front of Robin.
Robin smiled nonchalantly, “Get up. | take it.”

In a momentary shock, the corner of Nathen’s mouth twitched. “Fine. The credit is yours.” With a line of bodyguards following, Nathen turned to walk towards the exit.
“Hold on.” Karina’s voice turned cold.
“Mr. Reynell, the second issue hasn't been solved. You can't just leave like this.”
Nathen halted and slowly turned around, a warm smile appearing on his face.
“Karina, I’ve always been sticking to my word.”
“Deandre has lost. Of course, you have the final say. I'll be quite pleased if you get rich. “You know why? Because | genuinely like you.
“It's just a shame.” A hint of disappointment flickered in Nathen’s eyes. “Everyone knows that Sergio of the Hashville Martial Arts Union is very protective of his disciples.
“If he finds out that his disciple has died at your hands, the Huber Group will be in major trouble.
“Mr. Bruce will become a target of his union. There won't be any peace for him from now on.
“The place is too bloody to stay. Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me...”
With that, Nathen left, flanked by his bodyguards.
Though Karina didn’t show it, she got panicked.
Chapter 35 The Jerk Steals the Show Again.
The Hubers weren't afraid, even if the Hashville Martial Arts Union sought retribution.
With the rich foundation they had built in Hallcester over the years, the Hubers had enough resources to maneuver. However, if Hashville Martial Arts Union hunted Robin down, there was no way Robin could escape it. Gunshots in plain sight could be easily dodged, but hidden arrows were another thing.
No matter how powerful Robin was, he couldn’t withstand the endless pursuit.
“Robin...” Karina frowned deeply, her eyes brimming with worry.
“Come on. Let's go back.” Robin hastened to Karina, who was still annoyed. He waved his hand and walked straight out of the hall.
Karina snapped out of her daze and followed Karsyn.
Outside, the guests who had attended the reception were still there.
The first one who came out was Nathen.
Everyone's immediate thought was Robin was done for.
“Robin has finally paid the price for his ignorance, huh.” Miranda’s face displayed a sneer of schadenfreude. Crystal remained quiet with tightly furrowed brows.
She wished Robin had come out alive.
She only had brief interactions with the man.
However, there was an indescribable charm in the man that made her

fall for him.
It was only because of her best friend Miranda’s presence that Crystal didn’t show it.
Watching Nathen and his fellows emerge, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Intuition told her that Robin wouldn't lose.
When she saw it was Bucher who was carried out by Nathen’s men, Crystal lost her cool and let out a loud cheer. “Wow, Robin did it. | knew it. Robin did it.”
Crystal’s cheers caught everyone’s attention.
Miranda tugged her and tried to reduce their presence.
Miranda rolled her eyes. “Crystal, you're nuts. The Thompson family will be over if you mess with the Reynell family. “Moreover, Robin deserved it.
“With his skills, how dared he provoke Nathen? Wasn't he asking for trouble?”
Crystal sighed, “Miranda, | don’t get why you hate Robin so much. Besides, his family and yours have connections. “Or, to be precise, his grandfather once helped the Brown family...”
“Come on, Crystal. Why are you defending Robin?” Miranda sounded irritated.
“His grandfather helped us, which | admit.
“But that was because his grandpa saw our potential. That was why he

lent my grandpa 160 thousand dollars.
“Now we have tens of millions in assets.
“And who's Robin? He’s homeless with no proper job, let alone a
career.
“He and | aren’t even in the same league.”
Crystal shook her head in disbelief, “Fine. Even if it happened as you said, his grandfather was trying to make a quick profit back then by helping your family.
“You backed out of the engagement because you don’t like him. | understand.
“But that’s no reason to despise him.
“Anyway, you two almost got married.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Miranda snorted, “The thought of being engaged to Robin is a blot on my record.
“Imagine if | become someone like Cecilia one day. If people find out | had an engagement with someone like Robin, what a
shame would that be?”
Crystal complained, “Fine, Miranda, fine. You’re right. You will be in the spot of the light. Guys like Robin will just tarnish your reputation.
“It seems even I, a woman with no career, will be a blemish in your life. I’d better distance myself from you.”
“Come on, Crystal. You're my best friend. When | succeed, I'll share it with you.” Miranda grabbed Crystal's arm and grinned. “I'm not sharing any honors with you. | just want to live a simple life,”

said Crystal.
“Hey, hey, hey, Crystal, stop. My idol is out.”
Miranda pulled Crystal through the crowd, making their way to the front.
Seeing Cecilia walking out of the hall with a cold and proud demeanor, Miranda covered her mouth excitedly and whispered, “Wow, Crystal, look. She is so stunning.”
“That kind of grace, that kind of elegance. | want to be just like her.”
As Miranda was mooning over Cecilia’s queenly poise, something caught her off guard. She just couldn’t wrap her head around it.
After Cecilia came out, she stood respectfully by the side.
It was like she was showing deference to an incredibly important
person.
Could it be that there’s a big shot at the reception tonight who commands Cecilia’s respect? Miranda’s curiosity was piqued.
She was eager to know who could make Cecilia, the owner of the Purpeak Club, act so subserviently. But what she saw was a face she loathed.
Robin?
That jerk was stealing the spotlight again.
“Hey, Miranda, look. It’s Robin.” Crystal spotted Robin walking out of the hall unharmed. An inexplicable excitement surged within her.
Chapter 35 The Jerk Stests the Show Again.
Even Crystal didn’t quite understand why she was so relieved upon learning that he was okay.
Miranda waited for Robin to step away, anticipating that someone even more important would follow.
But Cecilia was following Livia, Leonel, and Robin closely as if she were a maid.
Seeing Robin, flanked respectfully by Cecilia, Miranda felt puzzled.
“This can’t be. It’s just not possible.” Miranda muttered to herself, her eyes blazing with anger.
“It must be Robin. That jerk must have cheated Ms. Decker. No, I’m going to tell Ms. Decker. She can’t be fooled by Robin.” Before Crystal could comprehend what was happening, Miranda dashed over.
“Ms. Decker...” Miranda shouted over several attendants and
bodyguards, “I have something to tell you about Robin. It’s important.”
Cecilia glanced sideways at Miranda, her cool smile in place, “Oh? Tell me.”
