Chapter 198 They're nothing but shallow fools!
Raymond was trembling with rage, his whole body shaking as he imagined skinning alive the person who'd ruined his carefully planned evening.
He rushed up to Robin, almost in tears. "Mr. Ramsey, I'm so sorry. This is all because of my poor arrangements. Which idiot dared to provoke you? I swear I'll ... "
Robin tossed the keys to his Land Rover over to Raymond.
"Seems your club is just too high-end. Me pulling up in a Land Rover really spoiled everyone's mood.
"From the security guard to these young 'elites', they all thought a 'poor man' like me was an insult to their presence here. I shouldn't have come, really!"
Raymond gripped the keys to the Land Rover, feeling like he was going insane.
He looked at Dane, curled up on the floor, and finally pieced together what had happened.
Seizing Dane by the hair, he roared, "Tell me, what the hell did you do to Mr. Ramsey's car?!
"I swear, if there's even a scratch, I'll make sure the Bennetts never rise in Harmonfield again!"
Dane was filled with regret.
The Land Rover had already been reduced to a heap of twisted metal—there was nothing left to negotiate.
He never could've imagined that people like Daphne, Raymond, and even the legendary Rowan would treat Robin with such respect.
This wasn't some nobody sneaking into their elite circles.
This was a powerful figure they could only dream of impressing!
If he had known who Robin was, he would've dropped to his knees to lick his shoes in public if that's what it took.
But in this world, there was no cure for regret.
"Raymond ... I was wrong ... " Dane stammered, pleading.
A staff member quickly pulled up the surveillance footage from the parking lot.
Raymond stared at the screen, feeling his sanity slipping away.
This wasn't something a human would do; this was the work of a savage beast!
He tightened his grip on Dane's hair and smashed his face into the ground. "You're wrong, huh? You ruined everything for me, you piece of trash!
"Do you think the Bennetts are even worth a damn in front of Mr. Ramsey? Where do you get the guts to act like some rich big shot?
"Oh, you've got money, huh? Fine! From today on, the Hamptons will cut all ties with the Bennetts!"
Everyone in the Violet Private Club was stunned by Raymond's words.
They now realized that the "big shot" Raymond had been talking about all night was none other than the man they'd all dismissed as a "poor loser"—Robin.
Raymond had already told them about the Harmont Bar incident.
How even Rygar, one of the most feared underworld figures, had bowed to this man. Compared to someone of that caliber, what did these rich kids amount to?
Daphne, Rowan, and Rita were towering figures in Harmonfield's elite. Yet, there they were, flanking Robin like loyal protectors. The sight brought the full weight of the situation crashing down upon them.
Everyone's hearts were pounding in their chests.
They had all followed Dane, thinking they'd have a little fun putting a nobody in his place to kill some time.
But now, the reality of their mistake was painfully clear. This was no ordinary man they'd messed with. And there would be consequences.
Raymond pointed at everyone in the club, nearly screaming in a frenzy, "You're all damn idiots!
"You think just because you drive fancy cars and dress to impress, you're some kind of big-shot tycoons? That you're somehow better than everyone else? Bullshit!
"You're all just trash!
"All you know how to do is squander the pitiful amount of money your families gave you, indulging in your shallow lives. What else can you do?
"Kneel down, all of you!"
Raymond wanted nothing more than to grab a machete and hack at each one of these rich kids.
He had managed to invite Robin with great difficulty.
And, it was only through Vera Silva's connections that he managed to do so.
And yet, it had all been ruined, thanks to that damn Dane!
In an instant, the whole club was filled with people dropping to their knees.
Raymond shook his head in bitter frustration, letting out a long sigh.
Then he turned and knelt before Robin. "Mr. Ramsey, I'll replace your car with a new one tomorrow.
"And as for everyone who dared to offend you tonight, I won't let a single one of them off the hook!"
Dane knew he had created a disaster beyond his worst nightmares.
This was a man who could make Rygar bow his head, who had Daphne standing by his side like a loyal attendant, and who had Rowan stepping up to defend him.
A man like this was not someone the Bennetts could afford to offend.
Even if Raymond severed all business with the Bennetts, it wouldn't be enough.
If he couldn't secure Robin's forgiveness, the Bennetts wouldn't even have a chance to survive.
Ignoring his pain, Dane crawled forward on his knees, pleading desperately, "Mr. Ramsey, I deserve to die. Please, I beg you to be merciful and spare me and the Bennetts ... "
Everyone who had joined Dane in mocking Robin now knelt, faces pressed to the ground.
Robin simply shook his head, got up, and walked towards the exit.
Daphne, Rita, and Rowan followed closely behind him.
Raymond tried to approach, but Rowan blocked his way.
