Chapter 930 The Price for Provoking Me
The sickening crack of Teagan's thigh bone breaking, accompanied by his agonized screams, sent chills down the spines of everyone in the banquet hall.
Under the suffocating glow of the crystal chandeliers, a palpable sense of dread filled the air.
All eyes turned toward Robin's slender yet imposing figure with fear and disbelief. A cold shiver raced up their spines.
This wasn't the humble and elegant man that they thought they knew.
What stood before them was a demon from hell.
Silence did not mean weakness.
Being humble did not mean he didn't have a temper.
Nestor and Teagan, who were blinded by their arrogance, never imagined that the man they had repeatedly provoked was a ferocious beast in disguise.
Robin had ignored their taunts, not because he feared them, but because they weren't worth his time.
The savage beatdown he delivered tonight struck Nestor and Teagan like a slap to the face.
Robin didn't even need to lay a hand on them to prove his dominance.
His very presence exuded an aura that warned others to tread carefully.
Among the stunned crowd, Leilani finally grasped the gravity of the situation.
Until now, she had scoffed at Luella's seemingly blind confidence in Robin.
But now, faced with his ruthlessness, she realized just how terrifying this man truly was.
If she had known things would escalate to this point, she would have begged her brother not to provoke this demon.
Leilani, still reeling from shock, suddenly thought of Luella.
She was the only person who might be able to stop this bloodbath.
"Luella, we're friends! Please, ask Mr. Ramsey to spare my brother!" Leilani pleaded.
Luella offered a faint, bitter smile. "Do you think I can stop Mr. Ramsey?
"And besides, I won't interfere in anything Mr. Ramsey decides to do."
"But ... Luella, we're friends!" Leilani protested angrily.
"How can you stand by and let him torment my brother like this?"
Luella shook her head with a chuckle.
"Didn't Teagan keep challenging Mr. Ramsey to a duel?
"Mr. Ramsey ignored him out of disdain, but what did your brother and Nestor do? They assumed he was afraid. How ridiculous!
"I warned them not to provoke Mr. Ramsey, but they wouldn't listen! And now, after losing, you're calling him violent?
"Don't pick a fight if you can't handle defeat!
"If you're going to be arrogant, at least be prepared to face the consequences—even if it costs your life!"
"Luella, you're heartless!" Leilani shouted, her face red with anger. "I'll never consider you my friend again! Never!"
Luella smirked. "Did you think of me as a friend when you provoked Mr. Ramsey?
"Whatever you decide. I don't care."
Leilani was rendered speechless.
Seeing Luella's refusal to help, she could only rely on her family's power to force Robin to stop.
She stormed up to Robin and shouted, "Let go of my brother!
"Even if he provoked you earlier, you've already broken his leg. Whatever anger you had should have been vented by now."
Robin's gaze turned icy as he looked at Leilani. "No, you're mistaken. I didn't say I wanted to vent my anger. I said I want them dead."
Gasps filled the banquet hall.
It wasn't a threat—it was a declaration of intent.
