Liam cast a cold gaze at Robin but chose not to respond.
Robin's boldness was overwhelming, leaving Liam with sense of unease.
He sensed Robin wasn't the type to play by the rules but couldn't tell if it was due to ignorance or sheer confidence.
Based on what he knew, Robin was only a nobody, once rejected by the Millers.
However, that inconspicuous character had managed to disrupt his plans and humiliate him since he arrived at the banquet. Liam knew he wouldn't be satisfied until he dealt with Robin.
He suddenly chuckled, his usual gentle, tolerant, and generous smile returning.
"Robin, you're getting humorous, Liam said, strolling gracefully toward the stage.
Under the dazzling lights, he looked as refined and charismatic as ever.
The guests were momentarily dazed, questioning if they'd imagined everything that happened earlier.
Liam's current appearance was the one they remembered-modest, elegant, like a gentle spring breeze,

Approaching Shirley, Liam nodded in greeting before turning to the other business heads gathered to discuss contracts.
"Guys, try to think about it," he began smoothly. "If Ms. Dunn were giving away 70% of projects in the Eastvale Ecological area, do you really think the Dunns would sit back and let that wealth slip away?"
He added, "No matter the status-whether powerful family or every d into the world of money will fight ruthlessly to keep control."

The Dunns weren't crazy. They wouldn't just hand out their assets freely to competitors.
"Shirley, I know you might have some frustrations with me. That's likely why you acted impulsively. Liam sighed slightly.
'I admit, I've been inattentive.
"Although I've often spoken about my admiration for you, I've been so busy that I never had the chance to invite you out for dinner or a concert.
I apologize for that and promise to dedicate more time to you."
"Wow! The party atmosphere softened as murmurs of excitement spread through the crowd.
Young women exchanged thrilled looks, their gazes turning back to Shirley with envy and admiration.

Shirley, unimpressed, scoffed. "Mr. Liam, it's too bad your're not an actor."

With that, she took Robin's arm and guided him to the stage, feeling a sense of reassurance with him by her side.
"Guys, what Mr. Ramsey proposed about the Eastvale Ecological Investment outsourcing contract represents the Dunns official stance.
"Please rest assured. Apart from maintaining the original project types, no additional conditions apply. I'm entrusting Mr. Ramsey with full responsibility for the matter." Smiling, she looked over at the stunned Robin.
He hadn't expected her to hand over such a significant contract and realized she was a bit craftier than he'd thought.
As he felt the warmth of Shirley's hand and caught a faint whiff of her pleasant fragrance, he relaxed.
If he had to take on the responsibility, he might as well go all in with her.
"In ten minutes, the Dunn Group's legal team will be sending over the letter of intent for project investments. You're welcome to review it before making any decisions.
"In three days, the Dunn Group will hold a formal signing ceremony for the Eastvale Ecological outsourcing project. Anyone interested is invited to join us for negotiations. "I have another piece of news to share with everyone present.
"Along with the original investment zone of the Dunns, Mr. Rygar has now transferred the southern development zone of Eastvale to the Dunns at no charge.
"That means we now have enough outsourcing projects that strong investors here in Harmonfield can benefit from.
"So please, stay calm and weigh your options carefully-investment i can lead to success or failure.
As soon as Shirley finished, Liam's expression darkened.
"Ms. Dunn, do you really risk everything to oppose the Hamiltons?"

Shirley's grip tightened around Robin's hand. Her gaze was steady and defiant as she surveyed the party
crowd.
"Mr. Liam, if fair competition is opposing the Hamiltons, then yes, that's what I'm doing!"
"Fine! Very well!"
Liam's gaze sharpened as he looked from Shirley to Robin, then over to Rygar, who'd been quietly observing in the corner.
"Mr. Rygar, you've been here a while. Why not join us out front and say hello?"
The guests remembered Rygar's presence, another formidable figure on the Spot.

Rygar simply shrugged, glancing briefly at Robin before looking away.

"Me? I'm no investor, so I've got nothing to add here. Carry on and have fun."
Liam found himself both surprised and irritated by Rygar's nonchalant response.
The Hamiltons had already held private discussions with him before, forming a plan to seize control of Harmonfield's capital by consolidating family assets through force and then using that leverage to heavy pressure the Dunns in the Eastside Ecological Project. Their ultimate objective was to strip the Dunns of their top family position. The Hamiltons had shared every bit of information they had on the Duns with Rygar, along with their ambitious plan.
In the next phase, they aimed to use the influence of Phoenix Vanguard to turn against Rygar, eliminate Daphine, and seize full control of Harmonfield's business landscape.
Now, however, Rygar's unexpected stance had left Liam unsure of his intentions.
What game was that b*stard playing today?
With a cold expression, Liam asked, "Mr. Rygar, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to ruin my plans too?" Instantly, an uncomfortable silence took over the scene
Though the Hamiltons had gained influence in Harmanfield, they still couldn't rival Rygar from the Abyssal Dominion. Rygar had operated in the city's shadows for almost 20 years.
He had always been in the illegal field while the Due in the legal
Even Daphne, rumored to have a powerful, mysterious background, had shown Rygar respect.
But now, Liam had dared to challenge him-something that struck everyone as audacious.
Rygar snorted. "So what if I ruin your plans? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to interfere with me?" Liam was stunned.
He hadn't expected Rygar to turn against him after taking control of the project in the southern. development zone.
For a moment, Liam was at a loss.
"Are you implying that, like the Dunns, you're opposing me?"
Rygar scoffed. "I find it troublesome, so I gave all those projects to the Dunns. How you choose to handle it is up to you! What does it have to do with me? Now, get out of my way!" Liam's face reddened in frustration. "Rygar Todd, if you have no interest in running the development. projects in the southern development zone, hand it back to the Hamiltons!"

Rygar pointed directly at him and sneered. 'Are you trying to intimidate me?

"Once it's in my hands, it's my territory. Want it back? Why don't you ask my thousand men from the Abyssal Dominion if they'll allow it?"
With that, over 100 members of the Abyssal Dominion filed in from the door.
Liam's bodyguards quickly moved to protect him.
Robin then stepped forward, reminding Liam, "The southern development zone is under the Dunns now. Is a fight to the end worth it?" Sneering. Liam replied, "Fine, Rygar. I'll let this go for now."
Rygar motioned for his men to leave, and the tension in the room eased as the members withdrew,
The guests at the party breathed a sigh of relief.
If they had resorted to violence, it would have spelled disaster not only for Liam but for the guests as well.
As Liam glanced toward Robin, who had approached him, he sneered. "So it's clear, then. You're intent on defying the Hamiltons!
Liam continued, "Ms. Dunn, Mr. Rygar, we all know how things began in Harmonfield. Our positions were established by force. "Since we can't settle this project dispute any other way, let's decide ownership with a fight. Winner takes
At that moment, a young man in his 20s stepped forward.
He was Sean Turner, a disciple of Kyler Quinn, who was the famed Sou Brookhaven Martial Alliance.
Sean was notorious in the underground as the "Brookhaven Butcher.
and the head of the
With his fearsome prowess, he had earned an invincible reputation in Brookhaven, leaving his opponents defeated or worse.
Liam had brought in heavy reinforcement, and Sean's arrival shocked the entire gathering at Violeterest.
