Chapter 235

Chapter 235 I’m Death Lord

Robin and Crystal walked into the crowd of onlookers.

These people who were standing and watching were all colleagues from the company.

They were pointing and whispering at Madeline and the man who was bothering her.

“That old man, who was said to be Madeline’s father, seemed to be quite the old rascal.”

“I just heard from Madeline that her father had abandoned them long ago, leaving home to run off with a widow, for many years. Marilyn

ill, and he didn’t even come back once.”

“This time, not only did he not visit Marilyn in the hospital, but he also took a dowry of one hundred thousand from someone and sold Madeline to a man in his forties. Did you see? That man even has a slight disability in his leg.”

“This kind of father is really not human! How could he do such a despicable thing!”

“The forest is so big that it houses all kinds of birds. A man like Madeline’s father, he’s not even human!”

“Such a pity… Madeline, a top graduate from a prestigious university, so beautiful and charming, if she were to marry that old man…”

Robin listened to the surrounding chatter, looking into the crowd, where Madeline was being bothered by a man in his forties.

Under the broad daylight, could this man actually be so arrogant?

At that moment, seeing that Madeline was unwilling to go back with him, the man reached out and grabbed Madeline’s hair.

“Your father has already sold you to me, you are now my wife! I am taking you back to bear my children, how dare you refuse to go back with me, I will kill you!”

The man cursed as he swung his thick palm, striking Madeline.

Robin quickly approached the man, grabbing his wrist firmly.

The man, in pain, let go of Madeline’s hair, “Who…who are you? Let me go!”

Robin ignored him, turning to Madeline, who was already beaten black and blue, and asked, “What happened?”

Madeline saw Robin approaching, overwhelmed with shame, she hung her head and sobbed, “Robin, you’ve seen me make a fool of myself again, I…”

“Get to the point!” Robin snapped.

“She’s my wife…” the man angrily tried to break free from Robin.

Robin gripped hard, and the man immediately knelt on the ground in pain, too hurt to speak.

“Alright, no one dares to touch you now, speak! What happened?”

Madeline was startled by Robin’s cold voice, and quickly said, “This is the man my father found for me, my father is over there…”

Robin looked in the direction Madeline was pointing, where a man in his fifties was standing not far away.

“Robin, when my brother and I were very young, he abandoned the three of us, my mother, my brother, and me, and ran off with a widow from the neighboring village.”

“He ran for over a decade and never gave us a penny.”

“Now, the widow’s son was getting married and didn’t have money for the bride price, so he came back and sold me to a man with a disability in his leg, taking a hundred thousand dollars as the bride price…”

At that moment, several security guards from the Eastern District Development Corporation came over.

Upon seeing Robin present, they hastily took the man in his forties from his hands.

A security guard stepped forward and said, “Mr. Bruce, the man who claimed to be Madeline’s father, had already caused trouble in our corporation several times before. Madeline has been avoiding him. I heard that he even went to Marilyn’s hospital room and caused a scene a few times, and was driven out by the hospital.”

“These past few days, he was blocking the company’s entrance every day.”

Madeline nodded, “Robin, the security guard is right,” she said.

“He’s not my dad! All these years, every time he came back, he was forcing my mom to give him money.”

“The hard–earned money that mom had struggled to save, was almost entirely swindled by him!”

“This time, when mom was sick, I called him, hoping he could help us raise some money. Not only did he ignore me, but he also scolded me, saying he wished my mom would die sooner! He… he is just…

“He’s nothing but a beast!” Robin said coldly, heading straight for Madeline’s father, Abel Pearson.

A

Seeing this scene, Madeline immediately ran over as well, “Robin, he…he’s difficult to deal with, he’s a scoundrel…”

Robin gave a nonchalant smile towards Madeline’s father, Abel, “I specialize in dealing with beasts and scoundrels!”

Approaching Abel, “Are you Madeline’s father?”

Abel nodded, sizing up Robin, “Yes, you are…”

Robin ignored him, pointing at the filthy man, and asked, “Did you sell Madeline to that thing?”

Abel immediately became displeased, “How can you say I’m selling! I’m finding a good family for my daughter to marry into.”

At that moment, Barry and a dozen or so others, squeezed in from the outside of the crowd.

“Mr. Bruce, what happened?” Barry asked, looking puzzled as he glanced at Abel and then at Madeline.

“This old bastard, he took a hundred thousand in betrothal gifts and sold his daughter off, the beast!” Robin pointed at Abel, saying, “Barry, tell me, how would you deal with a beast and a scoundrel?”

Barry paused for a moment, then immediately replied, “In response to Mr. Bruce, I will be more beastly and more shameless than him!”

Robin nodded, “Alright! This beast and scoundrel are all yours. Remember, anything goes, just don’t kill him.”

“Yes, Mr. Bruce!” Barry bowed.

He grabbed the collar of the other party, lifting up a still dazed Abel.

“Smack!” A slap landed harshly on Abel’s rough face.

“You! Who are you? Why are you hitting me?” Abel screamed loudly, his legs flailing in mid–air.

Barry squeezed out a smile uglier than crying on his face, patted Abel’s face, and laughed, “Who am I? I am Death Lord! In my hands, even if you were a fierce ghost, I would straighten you out!”

“Selling one’s daughter, such a beastly act, I couldn’t do it, and yet you could!”

“Fine, you’re a scoundrel, aren’t you? I’ll make you regret ever being born into this world. Come, let me show you something even more terrifying than a scoundrel!”

Barry turned and respectfully said to Robin, “Mr. Bruce, I’ll take this beast away to deal with, so as not to dirty your eyes here.”

“Ms. Pearson, I’m sorry, your father is now my responsibility. Rest assured, from now on, he won’t dare to bother you and your mother again!”

Abel detected a bandit–like aura from Barry and his group, which scared him to the point of his legs going weak.

Clearly, this was a group of ruthless jianghu people who made a living through fighting and killing.

If it fell into the hands of these people, it would be over.

He hastily knelt down and said, “Sir, please let me go. I, I have no grudge against you, I won’t bother you anymore.”

“It’s too late, who told you to mess with Mr. Bruce!” Barry pointed at

his nose, scolding harshly, “Those who end up in my hands, the Death Lord, if you want to go back, wait for your next life!”

“Today, my men will surely make you taste the most terrifying thing in the world, you will know what it means to be better off dead!”

“If you dare to come to Hallcester and bother Madeline and her family again, for every time you come, I will let you taste this feeling!”

“Go, it’s impossible for you not to go now!”

Having said that, they threw Abel and the man into the car, and the group drove away.

Madeline watched as Barry led her father Abel away, suddenly feeling a bit nervous. She asked, “Robin, they’re not going to kill my father, are they?”

Robin said indifferently, “No, you just need to know, your father will never bother you and your mother again.”

“Go back to work now, live well with your mother in the future, and forget about that kind of person.”

Madeline hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Thank you, Robin.”

Robin patted her shoulder, “Go ahead, and tell me if you have any trouble in the future!”

“Um…Robin!” Madeline’s eyes were full of tears.

At that moment, she didn’t know how to express her gratitude to Robin.

In a chance encounter, this god–like man before her had shielded her from all disasters.

Every disaster she experienced was enough to completely destroy her and her storm–tossed home.

It was Robin who gave her a second chance at life!

Robin nodded, “It’s okay. Hurry up and go to work, you’re about to be late. I’m still waiting for you to give out bonuses and treat me to a meal.”

“Ah! Robin, I understand now!” Madeline wiped the tears from her face, looking at Robin’s tall figure in the morning light, she began to laugh.

She had thought that the world was too unfair to her, experiencing hardships from childhood to adulthood.

But, it wasn’t anymore!

She felt that she was the luckiest person in the world.

She could never have imagined that she, an ordinary girl, could meet such a great guy in the vast sea of people!

She swore that she would live a decent life in this life and the next, always following by Robin’s side!

Crystal looked at Madeline’s retreating figure, sighed and said, “There are plenty of fathers in this world who are no better than beasts!”

Seeing the exclamation on Crystal’s face, Robin continued, “There are plenty of mothers who are like beasts too.”

Crystal was stunned, the sentence was rather balanced.

She started to laugh, “Robin, I’ve found that you have quite a way with words. Your couplet is very neat, ‘A beastly father to a beastly mother‘, hahaha…”

Robin watched Crystal’s excited demeanor, a twitch pulling at the corner of his mouth.

The way this woman thought was absolutely different from normal people

It seemed like she could find joy in everything.

Could this topic also make her excitedly gesticulate?

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Crystal, noticing Robin’s strange expression, quickly checked her outfit. “Is there something wrong with me?”

Robin shrugged, “That’s fine. I was just wondering, why are you so happy?”

“After my mother left, no one ever cared for me again. If I didn’t learn to be happy on my own, was I supposed to wallow in self–pity every day?”

“So, I was trying to find ways to make myself happy, who knows, maybe one day I would meet someone who would cherish me!”

Sure enough, it really happened! The world–class hero who came to pick me up, driving the colorful auspicious clouds and wearing the golden holy armor, really appeared.

Robin looked at the sparkle in Crystal’s eyes and chuckled lightly, “Did that monkey come to pick you up?”

“Screw you!” Crystal glared at Robin, then looked at Madeline in front of her, feeling a bit wronged. “If you could treat me as well as you treat Madeline, I would be much happier, haha…”

“Let’s go, stop daydreaming.” Robin shook his head and walked towards the company lobby.

15:36

He and Crystal had just walked into the hall when they ran into Miranda and Jacob coming down from upstairs.

Miranda looked up and said, “Robin, I just heard that the Hashville Martial Arts Union really had a big problem. Are you still daring to be here? Aren’t you afraid those three people will come to catch you?”

Crystal said displeasedly, “Miranda, what does the incident at Hashville Martial Arts Union have to do with Robin? Don’t talk nonsense.”

Miranda sneered, “He had a conflict with the Mellor family yesterday, and today all members of the Mellor family have disappeared. Who else would he suspect if not him?”

Crystal froze instantly, she nervously looked at Robin.

Robin didn’t speak, bypassed Miranda and Jacob, and went straight into the elevator.

“Robin, wait up!” Crystal ran after him, “Robin, did that matter really involve you?”

Robin placed the bank card that Delbert had given him into Crystal’s hand, “Here, the Mellor family’s compensation to you. Treat me to a big meal tonight!”

Just as Madeline, Robin, Crystal and others walked into the Eastern District Development Corporation lobby, two disciples of the Poison Sect in the distance said, “That one named Madeline lives in Grace Apartments, we’ll go grab her tonight! The sect leader has said, we must capture her!”
