Chapter 268
Chapter 268 I Can't Believe You Could Be This Heartless!
The gunshot reverberated through the Dreamscape Bar, plunging the atmosphere into a tense silence. Robin's chilling brutality left everyone in shock.
No one had expected him to unleash such reckless violence in front of the terrifying figure of Chinatown.
He didn't just break Adrian's limbs; he also savagely destroyed Adrian's manhood, turning the once-feared tyrant into a mere shadow of his former self.
Even if Adrian somehow survived this ordeal, he would endure a fate far worse than death.
For someone as despicable as him, Robin was determined to ensure he lived a life filled with torment.
A quick death would be too kind for this filth.
Nearby, Alison watched in horror, trembling at the horrifying scene.
She had never imagined that Robin could be so cruel.
His brazen act had completely alienated him from the Grimwolf Crew.
Stepping forward, she shot a furious glare at Robin. "I can't believe you could be this heartless!
"You've struck out at them and disrespected the Grimwolf Crew. That woman is going to have to deal with the fallout of your actions.
"Have you even considered what might happen next?
"Dreamscape Bar and Brenda's family are going to face severe repercussions because of your recklessness!
"They will retaliate against you for your actions!"
Brenda quickly intervened, pulling Alison back. "Alison, how can you say that? The Grimwolf Crew are monsters. Robin did nothing wrong!"
"Ha! Brenda, have you thought about the consequences? What about you and Marrisa?" Alison retorted, anger radiating from her.
"He's got that woman shielding him, but who will protect you and Marrisa?
"Using such brutal methods against Adrian, do you really think the Grimwolf Crew and their allies will just let this go?"
Robin slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze shifting to Alison's furious expression.
"Cruel?" Robin replied with a cold smile. "What about the death of Conrad's sister? Isn't that cruel?"
"What... "Alison scoffed, shaking her head in disbelief. "Hah, who do you think you are?"
With an unreadable expression, Robin turned away, dismissing her.
Conrad sighed, overwhelmed by the grim reality.
This calamity was initially his burden alone, yet Robin had inevitably become a part of it.
It was both shocking and somehow predictable.
Robin had fought by his side through perilous times, leading him to seriously injure Adrian in a confrontation with the Grimwolf Crew to avenge Charis. Everything Robin did was for Conrad.
This was a bond forged through shared struggle!NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
He resolved that he could no longer hold back.
The Grimwolf Crew, alongside the Harlows of Chinatown and the corrupt officers of Terenova, would retaliate against Robin.
He could already picture the lengths they might go to.
But let it be; if it came to that, he would stand with Robin and turn this dark world upside down!
If fate wouldn't grant him a simple, ordinary life, he would carve out a peaceful existence for himself!
Since returning from Fricana, he had endured far too much.
If not for his loved ones, Adrian and his gang would have long been dead.
"Robin, you should take Brenda and leave. I think the Harlows and the police will arrive soon.
"You're not from Terenova; it could get messy for you here."
Darren shook his head in resignation. "Robin, just go. This situation isn't likely to end well.
"Still, I have some connections with Sheriff Roland in Terenova.
"I'll explain everything to him-"
Suddenly, the wailing of sirens shattered the air.
A tall, heavyset officer burst into the bar, flanked by a dozen armed police officers.
The patrons inside the bar quickly recoiled in fear.
A group of about twelve police officers had their firearms trained on Robin. "Drop your weapon and put your hands on your head!" one officer commanded. Robin discarded his assault rifle without hesitation.
Yet, instead of following their orders, he took out a wet wipe and started to clean his hands.
Conrad, observing the scene, made up his mind.
If Robin made any move, he would unleash havoc without a second thought.
The sheriff leading the group was Roland Corbyn from the Chinatown precinct.
He rushed over to Adrian, who was just beginning to regain his senses. "Mr. Howler! Are you okay?"
Adrian, still in a panic, shouted, "Sheriff Roland, arrest him! I want him dead!"
Roland shifted his attention to Robin, his expression fierce. "Don't worry, Mr. Howler. I'll ensure justice is served!"
He gestured toward the doctor accompanying him. "Get him stabilized right away!"
Then Roland turned back to Robin, his tone dripping with contempt. "You lunatic! How dare you shoot someone in broad daylight?
"Today, no matter how influential your connections may be even if the King of Hell himself shows up-I'll ensure you face justice!"
He pointed at the armed officers
behind him, barking orders, "This man is a violent threat; take him back to the station! If he resists, shoot him immediately!"
Robin studied Roland with an icy stare.
These so-called officers wore uniforms, but they were no different from Adrian-perhaps even worse.
If it came down to it, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate them all!
He neatly folded the wet wipe and placed it on the table.
Conrad stepped in, saying, "Sheriff Roland, this has nothing to do with him; I'm the one who shot Adrian. I acted in anger upon learning that this monster killed my sister
"If you're looking to arrest someone, then take me!" he insisted. "Given my past assistance to your department in solving major cases, you should let my friend go."
Roland scoffed, smacking Conrad on the chest with the back of his hand. "Hah, do you think you have any credibility with me?
"Conrad, if it weren't for you and your sister exposing the Grimwolf Crew's drug activities, I wouldn't have faced reprimand from the Terenova elite!
"And I wouldn't have been stuck in this dead-end position for years without a promotion!
"You really think you can just come here and expect me to let him go? Not a chance! "Arrest them both!"
Conrad clenched his fists, ready to fight if necessary.
Today, Robin had thrust this conflict into the open as he sought revenge for Charis.
He wouldn't allow Terenova's corrupt officers to take him away.
Darren also stepped forward, pleading, "Sheriff Roland, this all started at Dreamscape Bar. Please let Mr. Robin go; I'll explain everything later.
"And I'll have the bar staff send you some money immediately-"
Before he could finish, Roland interrupted sharply. "Darren, are you attempting to bribe me in front of everyone?
"I'm an honest officer and won't let any scumbag go just because of your dirty money. Get out of my way!"
With a heavy sigh, Darren understood that this incident was already tangled up with the Grimwolf Crew and the Harlows.
No amount of money would persuade Roland.
"Take them away!"
As the officers moved toward Robin, a melodic voice called out from outside the bar. "Wait!"
Bathed in the soft glow of the bar's lights, Robin saw a graceful figure approaching.
Dressed in a striking red trench coat, with a fresh bob haircut and an exquisitely beautiful face, she stepped into view.
Roland and the officers quickly parted to let her through.
"Anna!"
Robin's heart raced, as if it had been pierced by a dagger.
Seven years later, that pure, radiant face had reappeared before him once again...
