Chapter 18 Mr. Lambert
Barry hung up the phone and looked up at Robin. Then Barry burst into a vicious sneer. At this moment, Robin was doomed in Barry’s eyes. Conway was pissed by what Robin had done. Conway, the Underground Demon King of Hallcester, intended to deal with Barry in person. Everyone in the Demon’s Lair knew that Conway had never personally dealt with such dirty things in many years. The consequences of his arrival could be imagined. Barry laughed sullenly, “Mr. Lambert said he was on the way. “You are doomed, boy! “Do you still have anything else to say before you die? You won’t have a chance to say anything when Mr. Lambert arrives.” Karina was slightly frightened by Barry’s words. Karina knew that what Robin had done indeed crossed the line. People from the grey zone, like Conway, were usually heartless and cruel. Their way of dealing with things was always brutal. The Huber family was indeed influential. But in general, the Huber family would try not to confront those people from the grey zone. The Huber family had always been the most powerful family in Hallcester. But the Huber family would avoid confronting someone like Conway. Because even if the Huber family was gonna be okay for a while, it would still be badly hurt. This time, Robin beat up Barry, Conway’s most capable subordinate, in front of so many people. It was a humiliation to the entire Demon’s Lair. Conway had no choice but to deal with Robin in person. Now Karina could only turn to Harold for help. Karina would like to try her best to deal with the issue by negotiation. After pondering for a while, Karina said in a deep voice, “Karsyn, call Grandpa.” Robin felt touched to hear that. Robin was very happy that although things had come to this point, Karina was still willing to stand up for him. It could be seen that the Huber family was not the kind of people who would bully the weak and fear the strong or serve the hour. Perhaps this was the real reason why the Huber family had been able to occupy the position of the No. 1 family in Hallcester for so many years. Robin stopped Karina. “Ms. Huber, it’s nothing serious. Don’t bother Mr. Huber. I can handle it alone.” Karina intended to say something. But seeing the calmness in Robin’s eyes, Karina chose to keep silent. Karsyn said with concern, “Mr. Bruce, things are not as simple as you think. Ms. Huber…” Karina stopped Karsyn and said, “Karsyn, do as Mr. Bruce wants. I believe in him.” Hearing what Karina said, Karsyn didn’t say anything else. However, seeing Robin’s upright back, Karsyn felt Robin especially lonely in front of Barry and others. Karsyn felt uneasy. Some of the audience in the club became worried about Robin. Before, Robin’s valiant posture and wonderful performance on the riding and shooting field had obviously won the favor of some people. Those guys said in a low voice, “Sir, you had better go quickly! Leave Hallcester as soon as possible!” “Mr. Lambert is not someone you can mess with.” “You better get as far away as you can, or you’re really gonna die.” Those guys were all advising Robin to leave. Hearing those guys’ persuasion, Barry sneered, “Now he wants to go? You think he can? “Even if he runs out of Hallcester, the Huber family who stands up for him can’t get away with it!” Karina stared coldly at Barry. From Barry’s words, it was clear that the people of Demon’s Lair had long not taken the Huber family seriously. Karina wasn’t sure of the final outcome of the incident. But Karina believed that Robin must have had a reason for daring to do so. Karina still remembered what happened the other snowy night. Karina saw Robin kill the four armed men in one go by stabbing them in the throat. Robin saved Karina from a dead end. Now thinking of that scene, Karina still felt shocked. Karina thought, “Compared with the four armed bandits, Conway is nothing! I’m just gonna fight side by side with Robin today.” During this time, in the project about the Eastern Business District, Karina was almost overwhelmed by Conway. Karina was actually in a rage about that. Under such circumstances, Livia also subconsciously looked at Robin. Livia wanted to know how Robin would get away with it after offending Conway, such a demon. They were now in Purpeak Club, an improper place to deal with Robin. But Conway had asked Barry to tell the owner of Purpeak Club in advance that he would deal with something private about Demon’s Lair there. Cecilia, of course, would not help Robin. The only one who could help Robin right now was the Huber Group. If, in fact, these two forces collided, something shocking would happen. Then, the power pattern of Hallcester would also undergo great changes. At the same time, watching from a distance, Miranda saw that the situation was getting worse, and a touch of sarcasm appeared on her face. Miranda thought, “Robin is doomed today! That guy is just a boor! He will never understand that there are many people in this world that he simply cannot provoke! Characters like Conway are born to be devils. How dare Robin cross Conway’s line? Isn’t he courting death?” Someone at Miranda’s side was watching the further development of the situation in surprise with a complex expression. That was Crystal, Miranda’s bestie. At this point in the incident, Crystal seemed to have a sense of expectation for Robin. Crystal was looking at Robin, who still looked indifferent, with her beautiful eyes shining, and she suddenly felt a rapid heartbeat. Crystal was wondering what kind of amazing scene she would see after Conway’s arrival. Just then, there was a commotion outside the Riding and Shooting Recreation Center. Everyone looked up and saw there was a mass of people outside. More than a hundred strong men dressed in black, armed with short knives, came in from outside. At the head was a tall, burly middle-aged man in a black trench coat. This man was Conway from Demon’s Lair in Hallcester. Conway walked into the Riding and Shooting Recreation Center from the outside, and the whole venue was suddenly silent. Miranda looked at this man, who made the whole of Hallcester scared, and then she sneered. Miranda thought, “The Underground Demon King of Hallcester is finally here!” Miranda looked at Robin compassionately and sneered in her heart. “Robin, it is all your own fault! How dare you, a nobody, mess with a guy like Conway? You are nothing but a boor, Robin! How dare you beat Barry up, the favorite subordinate of Conway? You are just too arrogant and ignorant!” Crystal firmly grasped Miranda’s hand and sighed, “Even if Robin wants to go now, it is too late…” Conway and his men lined into the Riding and Shooting Recreation Center in Purpeak Club. Barry’s men immediately stepped aside, making way for Conway, and bowed in unison, saying, “Mr. Lambert!” All eyes were now on Conway. Such a powerful aura made the Riding and Shooting Recreation Center seem to freeze. Everyone felt oppressed and panicked. “Mr. Lambert, this is the guy who beat me up.” Barry lit a cigar for Conway and pointed fiercely at Robin. Before Conway could say anything, Karina stepped forward. “Mr. Lambert, I have something to say. “My friend clashed with your man, Mr. Newell, but there is a reason…” Conway spit out a wisp of smoke and said in a cold voice, “Ms. Huber, you’d better not interfere in this matter. “As for the reason why that guy hit my man, I don’t even care. “I don’t care what his reason is. Whoever hit my man will pay the price here today!” Karina frowned slightly. “Mr. Lambert, is that the way you handle things?” Conway looked sideways at Karina. “Yes! “Anyone who hits the man from my Demon’s Lair deserves to die!” Seeing how domineering Conway was, Barry looked at Karina and Robin complacently. Barry thought, “That’s Mr. Lambert’s usual style. If his man gets beat up, for whatever reason, the guy who does that is screwed.” “Mr. Lambert is so overbearing. He doesn’t even show any respect to Ms. Huber.” “That’s why he is called the Underground Demon King of Hallcester.” What Conway would do with the incident was exactly what the spectators had expected. Otherwise, Conway would not be the demon that people would stay at a respectful distance from. Karina frowned heavily while Robin smiled calmly and looked at Conway with interest. “In that case, cut the crap and bring it up!” Robin shed his casual coat to reveal a tight T-shirt. The muscles under the T-shirt were perfect. Conway paused for a moment and looked at Robin up and down with fierce eyes. Just at this glance, Conway’s whole body shuddered, and he almost fell to the ground.
