The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 212

Chapter 212 It Must Be Fake

The auction hall was utterly silent. For only a diamond necklace, the bidding had soared to five billion, even reaching ten billion!

To Robin, spending billions seemed as effortless as spending mere pennies.

Ruby was left humiliated by Robin's public display, unable to recover her footing.

His words were clear-no matter how high anyone bid, he would go higher. He was set on taking that necklace home.

Ruby, who always saw herself as the privileged daughter of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance leader, usually had no problem with money.

But here, standing before Robin-a man who seemed to have no limit on wealth-her accusations of him stirring up trouble felt weak.

After a short silence, murmurs of mockery began circulating in the crowd.

"If you can't afford to bid, accusing others of causing trouble is absurd!"

"Besides, he's sitting in the VIP Zone, and you're just in Zone One. Who are you to question his wealth?"

"What's up with this woman? Acting so high and mighty-she should think before speaking!"

"People who behave recklessly in public just embarrass themselves."

...

Listening to those cold remarks, Ruby flushed with fury.

She had never felt so insulted before.

Glaring at Robin with anger flashing in her eyes, she hissed, "Are you going to challenge me?"

The room instantly fell quiet as Robin replied with a calm smirk, "Challenge you? Don't make me laugh. If you can't handle the competition, then leave! This isn't your house to stomp around in." "Way to go, man!" someone shouted from the audience, showing support for Robin.

"Exactly! Don't let a spoiled, arrogant woman like her ruin things!"

"Yeah, if she can't handle it, she should leave!"

...

Ruby's eyes burned with hatred for Robin as mocking whispers surrounded her. She glared at him, looking ready to explode.

"Auctioneer, I'm demanding that you investigate him! Five billion for a diamond necklace? He must be out of his mind! I insist the committee checks if he truly has those funds!"

The hall fell silent again as onlookers anticipated the outcome. Five billion for a necklace-everyone was curious to see if Robin could pay up.
