Chapter 929 Challenging the Caffereys
The grand banquet hall fell into a deathly silence, broken only by Luella's soft sobs of gratitude.
The heartfelt scene stood in stark contrast to the earlier bloody carnage under the glow of the dazzling chandeliers.
Many realized that they were the perfect embodiment of a hero and his damsel in distress.
It wasn't until now that the distinguished guests from high society truly understood why Luella was so enamored with the quiet and low-key young man.
Compared to the so-called Spartine Warrior Champion, Robin was the real deal.
Amid envious stares, Robin gently patted Luella on the head.
"The Dark Night Alliance is also my mortal enemy. Anyone who dares conspire with them will meet their end by my hand."
Nestor and Teagan visibly flinched at his words.
Without exchanging a word, they turned in unison and attempted to quietly slip out of the banquet hall.
Then, Robin pulled his hand free from Luella's tight grip. "Come on. This isn't the time for you to be clingy. There's still work to be done."
Luella nodded obediently and stepped aside.
Robin retrieved a wet wipe and began cleaning his hands. His calm yet commanding voice cut through the room like a blade. "Did I say you could leave?"
The already heavy atmosphere became even more oppressive.
The stench of blood hung thick in the air, intensified by the slanting rays of afternoon sunlight baking the floor, where Abel's lifeblood and remains had pooled.
Robin's stern reprimand sent shivers through the guests, snapping them out of their stupor.
They wondered about Robin's plans.
They were curious if he truly meant to follow through on his earlier declaration to wipe out the Spartine Warriors completely.
In their eyes, he was insane to even entertain such an idea.
The Spartine Warriors were backed by the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance.
Daring to provoke the Spartine Warriors was tantamount to declaring war on the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance itself—and, by extension, on their financial backers.
The Caffereys were one of the colossal conglomerates supporting them.
There was no way Robin could fight them alone.
Even the Aldridges couldn't afford to take on such a coalition of power.
They couldn't help but guess if Robin was going to ignite a global feud among the elites.
Nestor raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Kid, what's the meaning of this? Don't tell me you actually plan to provoke the Spartine Warriors."
Robin tossed the wet wipe to the ground and replied coolly, "No. I'm eradicating them. Today, you will die, and the Spartine Warriors will be wiped from the earth."
The entire hall fell silent.
He wasn't bluffing or threatening.
He meant every word.
He wanted to kill Nestor and wipe out the Spartine Warriors single-handedly!
He's not insane, is he?
Nestor was dumbfounded. He thought he was hearing things.
As Robin's icy gaze met his, the realization struck like a lightning bolt.
He wasn't joking.
After a brief moment of panic, Nestor scoffed. "You think you can just erase the Spartine Warriors as you like? Who do you think you are?
"Kid, I'd advise you to quit while you're ahead and leave yourself a way out.
"The Spartine Warriors are backed by the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance!
"Even the Aldridges have to show us respect. Now, I'll ask you one more time—do you still want to act so recklessly?"
Robin smirked. "I've never cared about consequences or escape routes. If I say I'll kill you, you won't live past today.
"If I say the Spartine Warriors will cease to exist, it'll happen in mere moments."
