Chapter 226 Kneel and Apologize
Tristan's deferential tone over the phone stunned everyone in the hall.
The head of the Nevilles, the foremost family in martial arts, was bowing down to Robin.
Everyone had assumed Robin was just Daphne's bodyguard, unable to believe what they were seeing.
They had all misjudged. Robin was the true powerhouse here.
Reflecting on Anthony's earlier attitude, they finally understood the situation.
And now, Daphne standing beside Robin looked more like an attendant than an equal.
But the question everyone was left with was just how powerful Robin's background was to make even Tristan plead.
At that moment, Vera began to relax, catching the pleasant scent from Robin's coat as she looked up at his tall figure. Her world was only just beginning.
Meanwhile, the branch leaders of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance, along with several disciples, were filled with terror.
Knox, among them, slipped away from the crowd and dashed up to the VIP lounge on the second floor.
Moments later, Kyler, upon hearing about the situation unfolding at the Crown Banquet, rushed down from the VIP area, followed by Ronald and the Brookhaven Martial Alliance's Four Heavenly Kings—Wilder and Drake included.
The scene they encountered in the Crown Banquet hall left them instantly stunned.
Ruby and Jason were kneeling on the floor, their faces bloodied and their eyes dazed.
Beside them, Anthony was also kneeling.
Six Elders of Discipline, four senior disciples, and Finn Eaton from the Brookhaven Martial Alliance lay unconscious.
All the guests had retreated to the edges of the hall, leaving only Robin and Daphne in the center.
Drake took a sharp breath, quickly grasping what had happened.
The Quinns and the Nevilles had clashed with Robin.
Without a second thought, he left Ronald's side and hurried to Robin. "Mr. Ramsey!"
Robin nodded in acknowledgment.
Drake immediately took his place at Robin's side.
By aligning himself with Robin, he left no doubt about where the Dunn family, the top family in Harmonfield, stood in this conflict.
After a brief pause, Wilder also disregarded Ronald's reaction, hurriedly stepping forward with a respectful bow. "Master!"
Robin glanced at him with an amused smile.
Wilder was thrilled. Robin's response suggested he accepted him as his disciple.
Wilder's title of "Master" sent a wave of shock through the hall.
The revelation that the president of the Draconia Holistic Medicine and Health Association was Robin's disciple was staggering.
This new information not only shocked the crowd but also tightened the expressions of both Ronald and Kyler.
Ronald squinted as he studied Robin, wondering if this man was the mysterious healer who had treated Martin and Timothy.
Seeing the scene before him, his suspicions were almost confirmed.
Wilder and Drake's actions made their allegiance unmistakably clear.
Knox whispered to Ronald, "Mr. Quinn, he's the one who took down the Brookhaven Butcher, defeated Sam, and killed Ivan."
Kyler, hearing this, was furious.
He stormed up to Robin, declaring, "You struck my daughter—I'll kill you!"
Daphne stepped forward, her tone icy. "Mr. Kyler, is everyone in the Brookhaven Martial Alliance so rude? Shouldn't you at least ask why Mr. Ramsey hit your daughter before you threatened to kill him?"
Kyler's face darkened with rage. "Do I need a reason when he's beaten my daughter like this?"
Daphne laughed. "Your daughter assaulted Ms. Silva, destroyed her necklace, and even tried to publicly rip her clothes off. Such shameful behavior—Mr. Ramsey was doing you a favor by disciplining her!"
Kyler raged, "D*mn it! Whatever Ruby does is right. She showed that useless Ms. Vera some respect just by laying a hand on her. Ms. Vera is nothing compared to Ruby!"
Robin chuckled coldly. "The Brookhaven Martial Alliance sure operates on a thuggish sense of logic—no wonder a daughter with such deplorable manners came out of it." He added, "Seems your daughter is destined to live in disgrace her whole life."
Before Kyler could react, Robin grabbed Ruby by the hair and slammed her head onto the marble floor.
Bang! Ruby let out a scream before slumping to the ground, unconscious and covered in blood.
Gasps filled the room.
"That was brutal!"
"He's openly provoking the Brookhaven Martial Alliance!"
Ronald, sitting in his wheelchair, was so shaken that he looked like he was about to stand up. He caught himself but couldn't mask his fury.
From across the room, Drake noticed Ronald's attempt to rise and felt a wave of shock. Rumor had it that Ronald hadn't stood in decades due to a strange illness, yet here he was, apparently able to move on reflex. Drake couldn't help but wonder if Ronald's paralysis was an act, and if so, for what purpose.
