“What now?”
Robin stood up and step by step walked towards Joe Moore.
“Don’t… don’t come over… help… help…”
Joe Moore continuously backed away.
Those bodyguards wanted to rush over, but Robin pulled out his own knife and tilted his head, saying, “One comes, one dies, are you sure you want to come over?”
The bodyguards all hesitated.
Because the previous four bodyguards were the strongest among them.
But they were utterly defeated by this guy, as if they were rotten wood, and they were still lying on the ground, wailing in pain. Even if they went up, what could they do?
Money?
This guy was saying that if one comes, one dies.
They didn’t dare to go up.
This time, even if Joe Moore yelled his throat sore, no one would come to rescue him. This was a killer, a real killer.
Robin walked step by step to Joe Moore, looking down at him. The cold blade of the knife, skimmed across Joe Moore’s neck, a cold aura seeping into his neck.
“Now, do you know what you should call me?”
Robin asked from above.
“I know, I know, Master Nightowl, Master Nightowl.”
Joe Moore was scared this time.
The domineering aura he had before was all gone.
In front of Robin, he didn’t dare not to admit defeat. This guy was really going to kill him.
“Next time you come to trouble me, remember to bring some high-level practitioners. These cats and dogs are not even enough to get stuck between my teeth. Of course, don’t provoke me without reason. After all, this time is just a warning. If there’s a next time, you’ll lose your head.”
Robin put away his knife.
Joe Moore turned pale. He would lose his head next time. Even if he found high-level practitioners, he wouldn’t dare to come next time with this shadow hanging over him.
“Yes, yes.”
Joe Moore nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Robin slowly returned to his seat and continued eating his barbecue.
Joe Moore came over, bowing and nodding, “Master Nightowl, I will leave now. By the way, I will handle the Scott family for you, so you don’t have to worry.”
He was already scared by Robin.
“Good. But, convey a message for me. I don’t like being called Owl. I prefer to be called Master Nightowl. Also, I enjoy killing.”
Robin slowly said.
“Yes.”
Joe Moore nodded repeatedly. However, he was shocked in his heart. This man was truly a killer. It was quite clear that if anyone came to see him, they must call him Master Nightowl, or else they might be killed. Such audacity in this man. He dared to provoke anyone who came to Mountland. Yet, regardless of his audacity, he was defeated. Be it physically or mentally, he was defeated. He would spread the word that he could not handle this killer anymore and needed others to seek revenge for him.
After Joe Moore left with his men, the remaining few people at the barbecue stand all had their eyes widened, staring at Robin as if they were seeing something unbelievable. Of course, this didn’t include Nina Houry and Betty Weber, the two food lovers.
“You… made Joe Moore call you ‘master’?” Ann Roach still couldn’t quite comprehend. That was Joe Moore, the president of the South Commercial Chamber. He was a major figure in Mountland, yet he was subdued so easily by this man.
“Not just him. In the future, Mountland will be in chaos because of me. There will be many figures who call me ‘master’,” Robin said while eating a skewer of barbecue.
Ann Roach was secretly shocked. This man, he had a big mouth. He was saying that Mountland, a place so vast, would be in chaos because of him, and many major figures would call him ‘master’. Unbelievable. But upon recalling the scene just now, he did seem to have the capital to say so.
“Thank you for this time,” said Ann Roach. Then she asked, “By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, what’s your name?”
“Owl, you can call me Master Nightowl,” Robin replied indifferently.
“Owl… Master?” Ann Roach’s mouth twitched a bit, but she had heard Robin’s words earlier and still called him ‘master’ in the end.
Then, Ann Roach looked at Nina Houry.
“I am the master’s maid, you can call me Rain,” Nina Houry said after wiping her mouth.
“Maid?” Ann Roach was taken aback. In this age, there were still maids? But then she thought of something and raised her eyebrows, “Maid? Personal, or bed-warming?”
“I…” Nina Houry’s face turned red. In her heart, she thought, personal? Bed-warming? This guy must be dreaming! This stinky rascal, he thinks too highly of himself! Humph! But on the surface, Nina Houry still appeared very shy, which made Ann Roach and others understand that there was indeed something going on between them. However, her status was not high enough to become Master Nightowl’s woman, so she could only be by his side as a maid.
“Come, everyone, these are yours. Oh, and tonight’s meal is on the house, I’m treating you all,” the stall owner walked over with the barbecue and said. His feet were still shaky, and he was still in a daze.
Earlier, when Will Scott had come, he thought he was as good as dead. But he never thought that Joe Moore would come and scold Will Scott, which made him think he had escaped his fate. Until he saw Robin provoking Joe Moore, his heart felt cold again. But who could have thought, in the end, Robin alone managed to subdue Joe Moore. He never, ever thought this would happen. He was just glad he was still alive and to show his gratitude, he treated them all, especially that killer, to a meal of barbecue, hoping that they would visit less in the future. If they continued to visit, his heart wouldn’t be able to take it.
“Thank you, boss,” Ann Roach thanked the stall owner. After finishing their meal, Ann Roach quickly left Nina Houry’s contact number, then she and Betty Weber went home. Ann Roach was the director of a group, a general manager position, but the Roach family was just a small clan. They were merely surviving in the cracks. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been oppressed by the Scott family, and she wouldn’t have been forced to marry Ethan Scott.
Upon returning to the Roach family, Ann discovered turmoil. The family was in a state of panic. Ann approached one of them and asked, “Uncle, what’s the reason for all this commotion?”
“Ah, Yu, didn’t we arrange for your marriage to the young master of the Scott family? That was our ticket to a higher social standing. However, we just received news from the South Commercial Chamber. They’ve expelled the Scott family and are suppressing them heavily. Rumor has it that the Scott family offended someone. We don’t know if this will affect our Roach family. Ah, this also delays your marriage. You won’t be marrying into a wealthy family after all,” her uncle lamented.
However, Ann Roach couldn’t help but laugh. She was absolutely delighted at the news of the Scott family being suppressed.
