Chapter 212 It Must Be Fake Chapter 212 It Must Be Fake 65 % +10 Free Coins 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 Robins 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 cant afford to bid , accusing others of causing trouble is absurd ! Besides , hes sitting in the VIP Zone , and youre just in Zone One .
Who are you to question his wealth ? Whats 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 ? Dont make me laugh .
If you cant handle the competition , then leave ! This isnt your house to stomp around in .
Way to go , man ! someone shouted from the audience , showing support for Robin .
Exactly ! Dont let a spoiled , arrogant woman like her ruin things ! Yeah , if she cant handle it , she should leave ! Rubys eyes burned with hatred for Robin as mocking whispers surrounded her .
She glared at him , looking ready to explode .
Auctioneer , Im 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 ! ||| 1/5 14:07 Mon , Nov 25 Chapter 212 It Must Be Fake 65 % 1 +10 Free Coins 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 .
At this point , Alice , also indignant , chimed in , I agree with Ms.
Quinn ! Hes a nobody .
Where would he get five billion to buy a necklace ? Ruby cast Alice a cold , dismissive look .
To Ruby , discussing five billion with someone like Alice was an insult .
She sneered .
Did I ask for your opinion ? Turning to the auctioneer , she said , I demand an immediate verification of his assets ! If he cant back up his bid- Go ahead and pay ! Robin interrupted , handing his leopard print access card to Rita before Ruby could finish .
The whole audience was shocked .
All eyes turned to Ruby , now filled with contempt .
What was left to argue ? Paying on the spot was the clearest proof .
Youre just putting on an act ! Ruby shouted , frustrated and unwilling to believe it was real .
Robin chuckled .
Ignorant woman ! Youre short on both money and manners .
Who are you calling rude ? You jerk ! Rubys face turned crimson with rage as she yelled back , forgetting her image entirely .
Robin shook his head , amused .
Your whole family must be the same as you .
Vera couldnt help but burst into laughter , finding Robins bluntness endearing ..
Hahaha , youre hilarious ! The crowd was momentarily silent , then broke into laughter .
This guys amazing ! He actually dared to insult the daughter of the Brookhaven Martial Alliances leader -hes so cool ! An unreasonable woman like that deserves it ! The crowds chatter only intensified Rubys fury .
Facing someone like Robin , who wasnt playing by any rules , left her speechless .
Her four bodyguards moved as if to storm the VIP Zone , but Anthony immediately shouted , Get back ! Despite receiving no direct orders from Ruby , the bodyguards still looked ready to act .
Anthony then coldly warned , Is the Brookhaven Martial Alliance prepared to go up against the Nevilles ? Ruby froze , understanding the weight of his threat .
Offending the Nevilles , a powerful martial arts family , was something her alliance couldnt afford .
Swallowing her anger , she waited as Rita brought Robins leopard print access card to the auction stage 2/5 14:08 Mon , Nov 25 BO Chapter 212 It Must Be Fake .
65 % +10 Free Coins and handed it to the auctioneer .
All eyes followed the card , with people holding their breath .
Watching intently , Ruby grew anxious .

If the card held enough money for the necklace , her embarrassment would be monumental .
The auctioneer displayed the card and placed it into the card reader .
The atmosphere thickened as tension filled the room .
Beep! Came the unexpected alert from the machine .
This card is invalid ! A wave of discontent swept over the crowd , and Ruby burst into laughter amidst the noise .
See ? Hes a troublemaker ! Rita appeared stunned , leaning in for another look .
How could Robins card be invalid ? Daphne , too , looked surprised , wondering if Robin had mistakenly used the wrong card .
She almost contacted Violetcrest Internationals finance department but hesitated when she saw Robins unbothered expression .
Ruby called out , Auctioneer , I demand an explanation ! Hes turned this auction into a circus .
Does he think were all just here for fun ? The person in charge of the auction , Zaid , quickly stepped up and took the leopard print access card .
Examining it , he noticed it wasnt a typical bank card .
Recalling Anthonys reminder about Robins importance to the Nevilles , Zaid felt confident that Robin wouldnt pull a stunt like this .
How could he possibly present an invalid card ? Zaid discreetly reported back to Anthony , who examined the card with a frown .
Suddenly , he recalled that Tristan , the family head , had provided him with a special card reader for situations like these .
Some aristocrats used unique , confidential payment cards distinct from regular ones , storing high security information that regular card readers couldnt access , often failing to even process its password .
Especially with huge sums , only the owner could operate it , preventing any unauthorized use .
Seeing the failed attempts , Robin grew suspicious .
Hed never actually tried to use this card before could Old Fred have been bluffing ? Hed claimed it held trillions and received daily deposits of billions , yet now it wasnt working .
Anthony quickly ordered the special card reader hed brought to be brought forward , while Ruby continued yelling accusations .
Guests in the crowd began doubting Robin , suspecting hed been stirring up trouble from the beginning .
3/5 14:08 Mon , Nov 25 B Chapter 212 It Must Be Fake 65 % +10 Free Coins When Anthony finally placed the leopard print access card into the reader , everyone held their breath .
But despite multiple attempts , the machine remained unresponsive .
The room erupted in noise as Rubys outrage intensified .
Mr.
Anthony , its obvious this guys here to cause trouble ! I demand the auction house take immediate action ! Anthonys frown deepened , realizing the predicament Waiving Robins fee wasnt an easy option .
It would not only embarrass Robin but put the Nevilles in an awkward spot too .
Daphne began to rise , ready to step in , but Robin stopped her .
He remembered Old Fred saying that only he could use the card , as it was coded specifically to his DNA .
Robin approached the front , took the card himself , and placed it on the reader .
The machine chimed with a clear Ding ! Cash deposited five billion ! The noisy auction house abruptly went silent , with Ruby frozen in shock .
No way ! This is impossible ! she shouted , stunned that five billion could be transferred so quickly .
Such a feat was beyond any normal bank card .
Its fake ! It must be fake ! Zaid took a transfer receipt from a financial staff member and held it up for all to see .
Ruby , still unconvinced , asked Anthony directly , Mr.
Anthony , did he transfer five billion to the Nevilles account ? Anthony coldly replied , Ms.
Quinn , if you persist in causing trouble , it may be seen as a deliberate insult to the Nevilles patience .
No , please , Mr.
Anthony … Ruby stammered , realizing the seriousness of his words .
Ignoring her , Anthony turned to Robin , apologizing for the delay , Im sorry for the inconvenience , Mr.
Ramsey .
Robin gave a nod and returned to his seat in the VIP Zone .
The incident ended swiftly , with Robins influence on full display .
No one dared question or disrespect him anymore a person capable of casually swiping five billion commanded awe .
Alice , meanwhile , was left bewildered , struggling to make sense of the situation .
Could Robin move such immense sums ? Amid the crowd , the staff finished preparing the legendary necklace for delivery to Robin .
4/5 14:08 Mon , Nov 25 O Chapter 212 It Must Be Fake Pointing to Zone One , he instructed , Give it to that lac The whole hall erupted in chaos .
He casually gave a five billion necklace who was the f All eyes followed Robins gesture , and the spotlight land 14:07 Mon , Nov 25 BO Chapter 211 Its Beauty Remains As Ruby looked pleased with herself , Robins voice boomed from the VIP Zone again .
The crowd gasped , realizing he had upped the bid without hesitation .
+10 Free Coins Ruby hesitated this time .
She wanted the necklace badly , but her true goal was to secure the Violet Wyvernroot for her grandfather , so she couldnt exhaust her funds here .
But her liking for the necklace made her consider the cost .
She glared at Robin , cursing him silently .
He didnt respect her at all shed get even with him one day .
Ruby thought for a moment , gave Robin a sidelong glance , and smirked .
I bet hes about to max out , she murmured before cautiously raising it to 2.1 billion .
Robin immediately countered with three billion , leaving the auction room in stunned silence .
Daphne , who had been observing , looked at Robin in wonder .
His approach didnt seem like the teasing hed given Zachary earlier he was serious about this bid .
But who was this necklace meant for ? Alice ? Or … Daphne didnt dare to speculate further She understood that she was certainly not one that Divine Drakebane would favor .
At that moment , Ruby couldnt take it anymore .
She jumped to her feet , frustration clear in her voice .
Auctioneer ! I believe hes purposely causing a disturbance ! Four billion ! Before the auctioneer could respond , Robin casually raised his paddle to make his bid .
Ruby was taken aback .
He was provoking her ! Do you know what youre doing ? Ruby pointed at Robin furiously .
If youre intentionally stirring up trouble , the Brookhaven Martial Alliance- Five billion ! Robin interrupted her tirade , announcing his new bid with complete disregard .
You- Ruby was on the verge of losing her temper .
Auctioneer , hes making a mockery of this auction ! Arent you going to address this ? Robin looked over at the auctioneer and calmly declared , If anyone bids higher , Ill push it straight to ten billion ! 4/4
