The Deadly 949
Chapter 949 Get Your Daughter Out Here Now!
The next morning at 6:30 AM, Robin sent Anton, Zayden, and Trix to the slums to fetch the couple.
He decided to head to the Cuthbert estate first.
The Cuthberts were the native inhabitants of the island.
When the Aldridges began their development of the island, Cuthbert saw an opportunity.
With his ruthless nature, he gradually accumulated a substantial fortune, transforming into the wealthy individual he is today.
At 57 years old, Cuthbert had been in charge of the Market Regulation Department for five years.
Cuthbert recommended himself for the chief manager position at Qacalisle after Mateo's reassignment.
Once appointed, he had shut down the scattered street vendors and informal tourist markets, forcing the merchants to move into the family-run markets, where they had to pay high rent and management fees. He had struck lucrative deals with the Cattells, profiting immensely from this arrangement.
Cuthbert had three sons and one daughter.
His daughter, Sadie Avington, had been born the same year his fortunes took a turn for the better, turning him from an average middle-class man into one of the most influential figures on the island.
He believed that his good luck was all due to Sadie, and thus he doted on her more than anyone else.
Sadie had always been exceptionally smart and strikingly beautiful.
At this time, the Avingtons were already one of the island's leading families.
Everyone on the island knew that Sadie was Cuthbert's most beloved child, and she was adored by nearly everyone on Qacalisle.noveldrama
From the moment she was born, Sadie had been treated like royalty.
This pampering only fostered her spoiled, willful, and domineering nature.
When Sadie wanted something, she took it, no matter whose possessions she had to claim.
The girl was known to do whatever it took to get what she desired, and this happened often. Cuthbert approved of this behavior.
He believed that, as nobility, his daughter was entitled to the best of everything.
Whatever she likes, it was rightful for her to possess.
He felt that the poor had no right to the finest things in the world.
Since their family had money, Sadie was justified in taking what she wanted from others.
Today, Cuthbert had invited Felix and Luella to the estate.
He had been up early, overseeing the preparations for the upcoming feast.
Felix had informed him that his appointment as chief manager would be announced at the event, marking another leap in the Avingtons' rise to prominence.
He had also told his children that they would be introduced to the two generations of Aldridge leaders, as well as a distinguished guest.
He had heard from some insiders that their distinguished guest was a young, charismatic man.
Cuthbert had imagined that if Sadie could win his favor.
If things went well, perhaps his family could break free from the island and make their way onto the world stage.
This morning, he also instructed several of his children to wake up early to greet the Aldridges.
By 7 AM, Cuthbert had gathered his children and all the family's management staff at the estate plaza, but there was no sign of Sadie.
"Why hasn't Sadie arrived yet? Is she up?" he asked.
"Oh, Dad, Sadie went to the back of the estate for a beauty treatment. She'll probably be back later," Sadie's eldest brother, Berkley Avington, replied.
Cuthbert chuckled. "Sadie's getting ready this early? That's a first. Looks like she's really grown up."
Berkley agreed, "Yeah, she said yesterday that the Aldridges' guest would be so captivated by her beauty that she'll soon be the most respected woman in the world." Cuthbert laughed, imagining his family at the pinnacle of power.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside the estate. "Who are you? Get out, now!"
Cuthbert frowned and ordered, "What's going on? Go check it out, Berkley. Mr. Felix and Ms. Luella are arriving soon-no disruptions allowed!"
Before Berkley could leave, four blue-clad guards surrounded a young man as they barged into the estate plaza.
As they were puzzled, an estate guard ran in.
One of the estate's security guards chased after them and bowed to Cuthbert, "Sir, these men forced their way in."
Cuthbert's face darkened as he turned to examine Robin and his group.
The Avingtons' estate was heavily guarded, with five layers of security.
How had these men gotten in?
They were causing trouble on the day of an important event-had they lost their minds?
"They say they're looking for Ms. Sadie," the guard added.
Cuthbert scrutinized Robin with a cold gaze. "Who are you?"
Robin gave him a detached look. "I'm here to demand two things from your daughter. Get her out here right now!"
Cuthbert's anger flared as he
understood these people came with malice Young man, you don't know who you're messing with. Do you realize that breaking into my estate is punishable by death?"
As he spoke, nearly a hundred guards appeared around the estate.
Cuthbert chuckled and said, "Kid, I have important guests arriving today. don't want this to turn. violent, so you should leave as soon
as possible. F*ck off! I'll accept it as
a joke."

"But I want blood!" Robin said, calmly wiping his hands with a wet wipe. "Your daughter took something that doesn't belong to her. Someone's going to die over this!" The Avingtons froze, thinking they had misheard.
Could this kid be drunk?
He had to have been drunk last night and still hadn't sobered up. Now he was causing a scene at the Avingtons' estate.
Berkley stepped forward and warned, "Dude, get out of here now. You could beg later, but you won't make it out alive!"
"Is that so?" Robin smiled coldly and struck Berkley, sending him crashing to the ground.
Immediately, the estate's guards drew their weapons, ready to strike.
Cuthbert stiffened, realizing he didn't recognize this person. "Who are you? The Avingtons haven't wronged anyone recently, have we?"
He hesitated but didn't give the order to attack.
His mind raced to figure out who this person could be.
Robin raised an eyebrow and said, "Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that your daughter took my things!"
Cuthbert inhaled a breath of cold air
as the situation became clearer.
This was no random intruder; he came with ill intention, and the first thing he said was a blatant threat.
The young man wasn't from the island he was an outsider.
Could he be some high-ranking member of a powerful sect?
Cuthbert knew his daughter couldn't have stolen something from those in the World of Darkness.
"Young man, did you come to the wrong place?" Cuthbert said, still trying to maintain patience before he figured out the intruder's identity. Robin ignored him. "Get your daughter out here, now!"
