When Xia Luo heard Robin’s words, she was startled. The only reason she had stepped forward to guard was precisely to prevent Robin from taking action, because once Robin moved, the other party would absolutely face certain death.
But now Zhong Shenxiu had spoken. She had no choice but to obey. In the end, she could only cast a look filled with pity at Cassius and sigh before retreating to her seat.
Cassius was also stunned by this sudden turn of events, not understanding why Xia Luo would back down because of a girl’s words, and even less so who the “Master” the little girl spoke of might be!
Cassius felt incredibly stifled. He had just wanted to show off a little of his strength, only for his opponent to retreat!
He had not yet realized that the little girl standing before him was his new opponent—an opponent who made his blood run cold!
“Hey, don’t force me to act, just leave here quickly!” Cassius saw that Xia Luo had sat back down after retreating and couldn’t help but feel irritated, as if he were being underestimated.
Noven, standing nearby, had already focused his gaze entirely on Robin, curious about what she intended to do next! Brant and the others shared Noven’s sentiment, but they were even more eager to know if Robin was truly as strong as rumored!
Seeing that Cassius was being ignored and that everyone else looked as if they were watching a good show, Cassius’s anger flared. He stopped talking and strode forward.
However, before he could even take a step, Robin walked towards him!
Cassius’s expression froze, a question flashing through his mind: What was this little girl planning?
They stopped almost simultaneously, the distance between them less than a meter. Robin looked up at Cassius without any discernible emotion, while Cassius looked down at Robin, utterly perplexed.
A brief standoff. Neither spoke. Finally, Cassius, unwilling to waste time on a child, attempted to step around Robin, intending to pass by her side. Yet, the moment his foot moved, Robin stepped forward again, blocking his path.
Cassius couldn’t help but frown and roared, “Get out of the way!”
But Robin seemed not to hear him, maintaining the exact same gaze.
Enraged, Cassius disregarded any pretense of being the elder, reaching out to grab Robin, intending to toss her aside.
What he could never have dreamed of, however, was that Robin’s hand moved faster, seizing his wrist.
Cassius froze. He hadn't even seen how Robin moved. He tried to shake off Robin’s grip, only to discover with terrifying alarm that his hand was held as if clamped in a small steel vise—it wouldn't budge an inch!
This shock was immense; Cassius’s face instantly changed color. He had never experienced anything so bizarre in his entire life.
What exactly did this little girl do to me? Is this the strength she should possess? Who is she? A string of questions began flooding Cassius’s mind.
“Let go,” Cassius hissed, simultaneously using his other hand to grip the arm that held his wrist.
However, as soon as his other hand extended, a piercing pain shot through the wrist gripped by Robin, a sensation as if the bone were being shattered on the spot.
It didn't end there. Along with this agonizing pain, Cassius suddenly felt his footing vanish, and then his entire body was lifted into the air.
The onlookers, utterly unaccustomed to such a sight, were all slack-jawed; their mouths were wide enough to swallow an egg. They simply could not process the scene before them. A mere little girl was swinging Cassius around as if he were a mere chick, one rotation after another, dazzling the crowd, and filling them with far more shock than anything else!
But, how was this possible?
Brant and his group were beyond stunned. If Robin’s opponent had been an ordinary person, fine, but this was a genuine “Sword Saint.” To possess absolutely no power to resist in front of Robin—how could this not be terrifying?
They had heard Noven repeatedly boast about how formidable and twisted these two children were, but now it seemed even more exaggerated than Noven had described!
Is she truly just a little girl?
More than one person harbored this thought, but none dared utter it. More accurately, none dared even breathe heavily at this moment!
Noven wasn't faring much better. Although he had warned them about how powerful the two children were, a significant portion of that had been fabricated by himself. He only now realized that Robin was concealing such monstrous strength, managing to treat a "Sword Saint" like a toy with just one move. It was impossible not to feel a chill run down his spine!
At this moment, Noven desperately wanted to know what level of strength Robin had reached, and even more so, where she derived such immense power without utilizing a trace of battle aura—that was a weight of two to three hundred pounds!
As Noven was spacing out, Cherie nudged him and whispered, “Second Brother, I told you Robin was strong, do you believe me now?”
Noven nodded dumbly. Recalling how he had foolishly suggested sparring with Robin back then, he felt a wave of lingering fear, and cold sweat broke out on his back!
Simultaneously, he finally understood why Cherie had so tirelessly warned him again and again—it turned out everything...
Just then, a loud CRASH pulled his and Cherie’s attention back to the center stage. When they focused their gaze, both sucked in a sharp breath.
They clearly saw Cassius being slammed violently onto the floor by Robin. The immense impact actually smashed a hole in the floorboards, with cracks stretching several meters outward.
More than half of Cassius’s body was now embedded in the pit created by the impact. If Robin hadn't still been clutching his wrist, he certainly would have plunged through to the fourth floor.
After a brief silence, screams suddenly erupted from the fourth floor, all caused by this sudden upheaval.
“What—what happened?”
“Look quickly, up on the roof…”
“Heavens, what is he doing?”
In an instant, the people dining on the fourth floor descended into chaos, all looking up.
It had to be said that a “Sword Saint” possessed remarkable durability. Despite taking such a blow, Cassius only sustained minor injuries. Of course, this was partly due to his protective battle aura and armor!
Even so, Cassius was immobilized for a long time because the entire impact had rendered his body numb; he couldn't even feel pain! It seemed he was knocked senseless!
But Robin did not seem ready to let Cassius off. She pulled him up and began swinging him again!
Noven and the other youths turned deathly pale, looking at Robin as if she were a monster.
What—what does she want to do? Does she intend to try that again?
The truth confirmed that Robin did have that intention, but this time, her target was not the floor.
As the speed of the swing increased, Robin suddenly let go, sending Cassius’s body flying straight toward the window.
With practically no pause, Cassius’s body burst through the glass and shot out!
Silence. Everyone’s breath and heartbeat seemed to stop at that very moment.
Loris, watching from a distance, was paralyzed with fright. She never imagined that in just one exchange, her chief guard would be tossed out so easily. If it had been them, they surely would have...
At this, Loris immediately stopped being arrogant. The guards around her didn't dare cause any more trouble; one by one, they shuffled backward like cowards, their eyes refusing to meet Robin’s, fearing they would be the next target!
However, Robin didn't look at them. Instead, she lowered her gaze to the few guards who were still down, having been kicked by Xia Luo and unable to get up.
These guards broke out in goosebumps under Robin’s stare, wishing they could flee far away from this little monster. Yet, they tried several times, but simply couldn't stand up.
Robin, however, granted their wish. She walked over, delivered a kick to each of them, and sent them flying out along the same trajectory as Cassius.
After this, no one dared to utter a sound. The entire fifth floor was enveloped in a thick, tense atmosphere.
Loris experienced a surge of fear for the first time in her life. Especially upon seeing Robin maintain that same indifferent expression, she felt her heart almost leap out of her chest from the tension, her entire body trembling uncontrollably. Forget escaping; she couldn’t even force out a sound!
A brief silence descended. If Robin had told them to scram at this moment, they would surely have offered tearful thanks. But Robin said nothing, merely sweeping her gaze dismissively over Loris and the others!
However, this silence was quickly broken by the sound of noisy footsteps and chatter coming from downstairs—a group of people was ascending.
A large portion of these newcomers were guards left outside to look after the carriages, and the Cassius who had been thrown out was, surprisingly, among them. Besides them were the hotel’s high-ranking management; if they hadn't noticed such a commotion, they would have been deaf or worse!
“Oh dear, what has happened here? Why has everything turned into such a mess?” a slightly plump middle-aged man asked with a smile. In reality, his heart was bleeding, especially upon seeing the ruined floor and windows.
This middle-aged man was the hotel owner. He was quite clever, not immediately bombarding them with angry questions.
Yet, no one answered his query. Everyone’s gaze was primarily fixed on Robin!
Meanwhile, Cassius was now gripped by fear. Staring at Robin standing silently, he lacked the courage to challenge her again.
The disparity in strength was too vast. No one understood Robin’s might better than he did. He already felt fortunate to still be alive!
“Miss, shall we move somewhere else?” Cassius whispered to Loris.
Loris nodded. She had never been so compliant in her life, offering no objection whatsoever!
Cassius let out a breath of relief and was just about to turn to escort Loris away when something he never dreamed possible occurred!
Loris’s body suddenly lifted up eerily, flying straight toward Robin... To know what happened next, please log on to Mang Fei, where there are more chapters and support.
