At that moment, Robin was nothing but a dead man walking.
He had successfully provoked Rygar, the underground kingpin of Harmonfield, who was now personally coming to handle the situation.
Everyone at the Abyssal Dominion knew Rygar hadn’t dirtied his hands in years.
His involvement spelled doom.
A chilling laugh escaped Shawn’s lips.
“Rygar’s on his way!”
He sneered, “This is your curtain call, kid!
“Any last words? Once Rygar arrives, you won’t have another chance.”
Shirley’s heart pounded.
Robin had truly crossed a line.
Rygar, a creature of the underworld, was known for his ruthlessness and brutality.
His methods were as shadowy as the world he inhabited.
A family like the Dunns, operating in the public eye, typically avoided direct conflict with people like Rygar.
Even for the Dunn Group, the oldest and most powerful family in Harmonfield, a clash with Rygar could prove disastrous.
They might not crumble instantly, but they would undoubtedly be left scarred.
Now, Robin had humiliated the whole Abyssal Dominion.
If Rygar didn’t personally retaliate, his reputation would be in shambles.
The only solution was to call Drake to possibly de–escalate the situation and negotiate a resolution.
After a moment of deliberation, Shirley spoke softly, “Amber, call my Grandpa.”
Robin’s heart warmed.
Even with the situation spiraling out of control, Shirley was willing to stand beside him and try to smooth things over.
It demonstrated that the Dunn family wasn’t one to buy the weak or appease the powerful.
Perhaps this was the key to the Dunn family’s long–standing dominance in Harmonfield.
Robin raised a hand to stop Shirley.
“Ms, Dunn, this is a minor issue.
“There’s no need to trouble Mr. Dunn Sr. I can handle it myself.”
Shirley wanted to protest, but the calm resolve in Robin’s eyes silenced her.
At that moment, Amber voiced her worries, “Mr. Ramsey, this situation is more complex than you realize, Ms. Dunn…”
Shirley cut her off.
“Amber, let’s respect Mr. Ramsey’s wishes. He’s aware of what he’s doing.”
Seeing Shirley’s unwavering support, Amber fell silent
She could–only watch Robin’s proud and solitary figure standing defiantly before Shawn and his men, a deep sense of unease settling in her heart.
Some concerned spectators, who had been impressed by Robin’s earlier riding prowess, whispered warnings.
“Sir, you should leave now! Get out of Harmonfield!”
“Rygar isn’t someone you can afford to cross.”
“Run while you still can, or you might lose your life.
Shawn overheard these hushed pleas and scoffed, “He links he can leave now? Even if he escapes Harmonfield, the Dunn family will pay!”
Shirley glared at Shawn.
His words revealed the Abyssal Dominion’s blatant disrespect for the Dunn family.
Although uncertain about the outcome, she trusted Robin’s actions.
She remembered the snowy night when Robin had saved her life, slitting the throat of an armed attacker.
The memory still sent shivers down her spine.
Compared to those thugs, Rygar was nothing.
At worst, she would stand with Robin and face the consequences.
She had grown tired of Rygar’s interference in the Eastvale Ecological Project.
Even Rita instinctively looked to Robin, curious how he would handle Rygar, a true demon in human form.
Despite being in the Violeterest Club, Rygar had already marked this as Abyssal Dominion territory.
Daphne wouldn’t intervene.
Robin’s only potential help was the Dunn Group:
If these two powerhouses clashed, Harmonfield’s power structure would be forever altered.
Observing from afar, Alice smirked.
Robin had truly dug his own grave today!
A brute would never understand the concept of someone beyond hit reach.
Oh, Robin, you’ve truly sealed your fate!
1 low–level nobody like you dare provoke someone like Rygar?
You had the audacity to lay a hand on Blackreaper, Rygar’s top henchman?
