He had immersed himself so deeply in his own storytelling that he had believed it wholeheartedly .
His voice and gestures were so convincing that even he began to believe the narrative .
Ladies and gentlemen , two springs ago , I had the immense privilege of meeting the stunning Ms.
Luella for the first time .
I was completely speechless in that moment ! I couldnt wrap my head around the fact that someone so breathtakingly beautiful could exist .
Her beauty completely captivated me .
By this point , Pierre was lost in his own world , speaking as if he were recounting the greatest love story of his life , radiating a happiness that was almost tangible .
Even more astonishing , this rare beauty was none other than Luella , heires of the Aldridges the wealthiest and most enigmatic family in the world .
Do you want to know what happened next ? Pierre asked with a smug grin , looking at Robin .
It was love at first sight ! Ms.
Luella fell for me instantly too ! The crowd exchanged glances , filled with envy .
After all , Pierre wasnt just good looking ; he was a martial arts expert , the captain of the Sea Lion Force , the king of the mercenary world , and the reigning champion of the global military skills competition .
With such impressive credentials , they figured it made sense that Luella would fall for him .
In his self induced daydream , Pierre felt as if he were standing at the top of the world .
Surrounded by compliments and admiration , he felt invincible , his posture exuding the kind of power someone might expect from the son in law of the most prestigious family in the world .
He looked at Robin and the others with a gaze that seemed to say he could disregard even the leaders of superpowers .
I have some earth shattering news , he added , his voice dripping with satisfaction .
Mr.
Felix has invited me to join his ranks .
In two years , when I retire , Ill become Ms.
Luellas personal bodyguard captain .
Do you realize what that means ? It means Mr.
Felix and Ms.
Luella have accepted me as one of their own .
Im officially part of the Aldridge family ! The room exploded in astonishment , the announcement landing like a bombshell .
Pierre was now officially part of the Aldridges , the wealthiest family on the planet ! Such a connection carried more weight than being the president of any nation .
The mix of jealousy and awe around him made Pierre feel more powerful than even Felix himself .
With a smug sneer , he turned to Robin .
1/3 Clunter 919 Youte Lucky I Dont Kill You Mr.
Ramsey , do you think youre brave enough to bet against me ? The room fell silent as everyone turned their attention to Robin .
48 Péang Robin , unimpressed by Pierres boastfulness , chose to ignore him and began walking toward the exit .
Oh , are you scared now that youve heard about my background ? Pierre taunted , as Robin walked away .

What happened to all that bravado you had earlier ? H Now that you know my ties to the Aldridges , I bet you wont say anything foolish again .
Is this all your people do ? Talk big ? But when its time back it up , you all run away ! Haha … Robin paused and slowly turned around , the sound of fierres laughter still filling the air .
Are you sure you want to bet with me ? Pierres smile faltered for a moment before he broke into an even more confident laugh .
Of course ! Do you dare , Mr.
Ramsey ? Just then , Mona pushed her way through the crowd and rushed to Robin .
Mr.
Ramsey , I admit I didnt notice how amazing you were before , but after taking a second look , I think youre quite charming .
I may even like you now ! Haha Im here to tell you , tonight , you should invite me to dinner , and maybe after that , we can … do something a little more fun … Get lost ! Robin snapped , irritated , sidestepping Mona as he walked back toward Pierre .
But Mona was persistent .
She trailed behind him again , reaching out with her smooth , pale arm to grab his freshly pressed suit .
Her nail polish scraped against the fabric .
Robin froze , his expression turning cold as he glared at her , fury evident in his eyes .
How dare you touch my suit ! He jerked her hand away .
A sharp smack echoed through the hall as his palm landed squarely on her cheek .
You filthy thing , how dare you stain my suit ? Do you think I wont kill you for this ? Jethro , taken aback by Robins sudden outburst , rushed over to calm him down .
Mr.
Ramsey , please , we have more important matters to handle .
Mona , stunned , slowly began to recover , her face red and swollen .
She started crying , rubbing her inflamed cheek .
Why are you being so rude ? I was just joking ! Why do you have to hit me so hard ? Sob … You stained my suit ! Robins voice was chilling , his gaze capable of cutting through her with a mere glance .
Mona wiped her tears , sobbing .
Its just a suit ! Ill pay for it , just let it go ! 2/3 11:59 Fri , Jan 24 TGB Chapter 918 Youre Lucky I Dont Kill You K61 % 40 Peads You cant afford it ! Robin shot back , his voice icy , Youre lucky I dont kill you .
Get out of my sight ! Mona , trying to get up , stumbled and fell back onto the floor with a loud thud , cracking the marble tiles beneath her .
Oh , my butt … Its ruined … she groaned , clutching her backside in pain .
The hall erupted in laughter .
Robin calmly pulled out a wet wipe and began cleaning the nail polish off his sleeve .
It took him an entire pack of wipes to get it all off .
Jethro suddenly remembered that Robin had once mentioned the suit was a gift from his sister and Shirley .
Pierre sneered .
Mr.
Ramsey , you still havent answered my question … Before Pierre could continue , Robin raised an eyebrow .
Ill bet with you .
But there has to be a wager .
Now thats more like it ! Pierres excitement was palpable as he turned to Robin .
Robin pointed to Cyril , who had just walked over .
Mr.
Higgins , Captain Pierre insists on having a bet with me .
Id like you to witness this bet and have your secretary record the terms of our agreement , print it out , and have us sign it .
Earlier , Robin had helped Cyril with a diplomatic issue involving Weronnias attaché , so Cyril was eager to assist .
He immediately instructed his secretary to prepare the contract for the wager .
Pierre , buzzing with excitement , was clearly feeling more confident .
Not often can you pretend to be someone youre not , but the real fool is the one who refuses to even try ! Pierre adjusted his hair , eyeing Robin with arrogance .
If you dare to repeat what you said earlier in front of Mr.
Felix and Ms.
Luella , I will treat you with the utmost respect and grovel before you ! But if you back out and fail to back up your words , then you and your team will have to drop out of the military skills competition ! Robin raised an eyebrow .
Deal .
Cyrils secretary delivered the printed contract , and both Pierre and Robin signed it .
Just then , a security guard from the convention center rushed into the hall .
Mr.
Higgins ! The Aldridges welcoming convoy has arrived and is now parked outside in the square ! 10
