Chapter 2 A Heavy Blow

• Robin left the chaotic scene in a taxi and made his way to the Miller Group's headquarters.
• The Miller Group was in the midst of their annual New Year's celebration.
• The front of the building was lined with an array of luxurious cars, and festive decorations brightened the place, creating a jubilant atmosphere.
• Inside the lobby, a crowd of prominent figures from Harmonfield mingled.
• Robin, dressed in casual clothing, looked out of place among the elegantly attired guests.
• Despite his unassuming appearance, the doorman allowed him entry.
• In today's world, many wealthy young people like to dress down and blend in, making it difficult to distinguish between the wealthy and those less fortunate based on appearance alone.
• Robin made a beeline for the buffet table in the grand hall.
• After enduring a lengthy flight, he was famished.
• Ignoring the curious stares of other guests, he loaded his plate with a generous amount of food, grabbed two glasses of red wine, and began to eat with great enthusiasm.
• "Is this guy here just to eat and drink?"
• "I thought he was some young man from a prominent family, pretending to be humble at the Millers' party."
• "Look at him—he's eating like he's never had a meal before."
• "Probably some low-level freeloader trying to crash high-society events for a bit of luck."
• "Why is this imposter even here? Someone needs to tell the staff to inform the Millers' manager and get him out!"
• ......
• It wasn't long before Robin attracted the attention of the partygoers.
• Chris Miller, the Millers' head butler, approached Robin amid whispers of disapproval.
• Seeing Robin devouring his food, Chris's face showed irritation.
• "Sir, could you please inform me if you were invited by the Miller Group to this New Year's event?"
• Robin continued eating a large steak, looking up briefly as he said, "I wasn't invited by the Millers. I'm Alice's fiancé, here to honor our engagement."
• His announcement caused an immediate stir of disbelief!
• So, he's just a freeloader after all!
• How dare he claim to be Alice's fiancé!
• It's utterly absurd!
• Alice, the striking CEO of the Miller Group, was a major figure in Harmonfield's business world.
• The wealthy suitors, influential officials, and eligible bachelors vying for her attention could fill half of Harmonfield.
• And here was this man, in shabby casual clothes and eating like a street beggar, making such claims at the Millers' prestigious New Year's party!
• "How dare you!" Chris's voice was icy.
• "You insolent fool, I'll overlook your ignorance this time. Leave now, or I'll make sure you regret it!"
• The guests in the hall looked at Robin with mockery, laughing heartily.
• "Is this guy out of his mind? Spouting such nonsense at the Millers' New Year's party?"
• "How could Ms. Miller have such an unworthy fiancé?"
• "He should take a good look at himself! How pathetic, haha ... "
• Robin, still chewing his steak, looked up at the mocking faces around him.
• He shot Chris an irritated glance and said, "Who are you to tell me to leave? I'm Alice's fiancé. Let her come out so I can speak with her."
• Chris, momentarily stunned, responded with anger, "Kid, if you want to know who I am, I'll tell you! I'm Chris Miller, the head butler of the Millers!"
• Robin paused, a small smirk forming on his lips as he replied, "Oh? Chris? So you're one of us. Perfect. Now, take me to my fiancée."
• "Damn! This guy is not only poor but also completely out of his mind!" The guests in the hall suddenly became more animated.
• "How dare he call Mr. Chris, the head butler of the Millers, by his first name! This guy's got some nerve!"
• "Everyone knows Mr. Chris is a martial arts expert. Very few people in Harmonfield would dare challenge him."
• "It seems like this kid is about to get thrown out!"
• Chris sneered, "Kid, do you have the courage to repeat what you just said?"
• Robin looked at Chris with a puzzled expression. "What? It seems like you're having trouble hearing. I'm your future employer. Do you not understand what I'm saying?"
• Robin's remark sparked another round of laughter from the guests.
• "This guy is something else."
• "He actually sees himself as part of the Millers? That's hilarious ... "
• At that moment, Chris's face turned a deep shade of red with anger. He roared, "You've got guts, kid!"
• In front of so many important figures in Harmonfield, being publicly insulted by someone like this was unacceptable.
• Chris swung a powerful punch at Robin.
• He put all of his strength into the strike!
• Robin momentarily paused, looking at Chris with bewilderment.
• Seriously? A butler daring to strike his future employer? Is he trying to get himself fired?
• As Chris's punch came crashing towards him, Robin casually deflected it.
• Chris immediately felt as though his fist had hit a solid steel wall.
• He stumbled backward several feet.
• Robin looked at Chris with contempt and shook his head.
• The laughter in the hall turned into shocked gasps.
• The head butler of the Millers, Chris, had been effortlessly knocked down by this seemingly insignificant young man!
• No one had expected this apparently clueless youth to have such skill.
• Chris was also deeply astonished.
• He had put all his strength into that punch!
• He was sure that very few in Harmonfield could withstand it.
• Yet this kid had effortlessly countered it!
• Was it just luck, or was I too careless?
• At that moment, a dozen security guards from the Miller Group stormed in with stun sticks.
• "What's happening, Chris?"
• Chris, still furious, pointed at Robin and ordered, "This scoundrel dared to create a scene at our New Year's party. Tie him up and break his legs!"
• The security guards immediately surrounded Robin.
• Robin sighed, understanding the Miller Group's intentions.
• "I've already claimed to be their future employer, and yet they're sending so many low-level goons to hassle me."
• Want to test my abilities?
• Fine, let's see what you've got!
• As the security guards raised their stun sticks to confront Robin, a figure suddenly dashed past them.
• In an instant, they felt a heavy blow to their necks.
• Within seconds, the guards were unconscious on the floor.
• Robin glanced at the pile of guards and said, "You guys are too weak!"
• The scene left everyone in the hall screaming in shock.
• What just happened?
• No one had seen it clearly.
• Chris, observing from the sidelines, furrowed his brow.
• This kid is no ordinary person!
• At that moment, another group of security guards rushed in from outside, ready to join the fray.
• A commanding voice cut through the chaos. "Enough! What are you all doing?"
• The hall fell silent as everyone turned to see a stunning young woman descending the stairs from the second floor.
• The woman was slender and graceful, with a face of remarkable beauty.
• Her bright eyes shone with a cool, regal presence.
• This was Alice, the CEO of the Miller Group!
