"Uh..." Adele hesitated and said, "He is Haydon Smith, the son of Eric Smith who’s the second largest shareholder of Smith Group, as well as the president of the Portledge School Student Union. He has confessed his love for me so many times in private, but I never agreed to be his girlfriend, because I don’t like him.”
"Smith Group?" Robert had never heard of the company.
Adele added, "Smith Group is the largest trading group in New York, and the chairman is the principal of our school. Dean Aaron is the president and CEO. The Smith family is the second largest shareholder."
“That’s why Aaron was so rich,” Robert muttered, then he heard chuckles.
"Hey, Adele, hurry up and accept him! Oh come on, he has so many luxury cars!"
"Yeah, I tried to get my dad to buy me one, but he wouldn't!"
"She won’t! Don't you know she likes Robert Martin?"
This word reached Haydon’s ears. He frowned then asked his follower nearby,
"Who is Robert Martin? Where is he? Take me to see him."
"Oh Master, please don't go. He fooled Anthony Long, I hear he is not easy to deal with!”
Haydon slapped him and scolded, “You mean, I am not as capable as Anthony Long?”
"Smith, what is going on?” Robert asked as he and Adele walked out of the building.
"Come here, let's have a talk, " Haydon teased Robert, motioning him over closer.
Robert started toward him but Adele quickly grabbed his arm, “Don’t go, he is a mean horrible person. Nobody knows what he is thinking, or what he might do to you!”
He pushed her arm away without saying a word. He smiled at Haydon and said, “What do you want to talk about?”
Haydon didn’t want to talk, he slapped Robert and then kicked him hard in the stomach. He began shouting, “You are not good enough for my Adele! Damn, how are you hang out with my woman?”
He continued to throw punches at Robert, a few drops of blood dripped from his face, but Robert did not fight back.
"Robert!" Adele cried out.
"Did you see that? He actually beat Robert Martin! Is Robert a coward or what? Why isn’t he fighting back?" Other students began to gather and question.
"f**k you!" Haydon punched him again, and Robert stood still, not moving an inch. Seeing the blood running down his face and him not even wiping it away, began to scare Haydon. He took a few steps back and asked, “Hey, why are you sticking up for yourself? Are you that afraid of me?”
Robert sneered, licking the blood at the corner of his mouth, "I'm just waiting for you to finish."
With a flash, he was behind Haydon. He put a hand on his shoulder and asked, “Aren’t you a good fighter?”
“What's going on? Why did he...” Haydon was the one who was now freezing. He couldn’t understand how Robert was behind him, he slowly turned to face him.
"Hey, come on, do it again!" Robert pointed to his bleeding face, he looked quite angry and dangerous.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Haydon was scared, his legs began to tremble. He thought he had underestimated Robert.
One of his bodyguards ran at Robert, but he was too slow and Robert knocked him out with one punch.
"You..." Haydon shuddered all over.
He looked at Haydon blankly, "Come on, hit me, just like you did before."
Haydon was terrified of Robert, he took a few more steps backward and then began to run. He saw a shadow pass by him and then suddenly Robert was standing in front of him again.
"I won’t let you leave unless you knock me down!” Robert said with a cold, deep voice. He looked at Haydon like an ant that could be crushed at any time, but he wouldn’t do that because it would take all the fun out of scaring him.
"Robert Martin, you will regret this!” Haydon warned him, "If you dare to touch me, I will..."
"What are you going to do to me?” Robert slapped him.
Haydon was furious but he was too terrified to say anything. He wanted to tear Robert apart but he knew he didn’t have a chance. He coldly asked, “Why are you with my Adele?”
"Well, that is none of your business," Robert said. Then he took out a Fiery Rune and pressed it against Haydon’s forehead, “I suggest that you don't move unless you want to die young!”
Instead of running, Haydon was only able to collapse on the ground.
"Your luxury cars are pointless, and too stuck up for me, you know?” Robert laughed and threw the Fiery Rune toward the cars.
The huge explosion instantly disintegrated the heart shape made of cars.
"Robert Martin, so damn cool!"
"I have completely fallen in love with him this time!"
People began to applause and praise.
"Robert is my idol! Hey, Robert, do you need a lover?"
Among the applause, Adele rushed to Robert fast, hugging him tighter than ever, "Robert Martin is my boyfriend, none of you can take him away!"
Robert gave her an awkward grin and thought of the mess he was in; he was not her boyfriend.
...
Later that night as Robert laid in bed, Jessica cuddled up to him, he thought about all of the women in his life.
Adele, Abby, Jessica, and Meenas... Robert sighed wondering if the situation was a blessing or a curse. He smiled at the thought of the four of them meeting and fighting each other.
He snapped back to reality, then took out the scroll he got from the auction. As he unrolled the magic scroll, he whispered, “Maybe I should go to Babel, just for fun…”
Robert was startled when he heard the system chime:
"Congratulations my host, you just activate the Babel Scroll!"
There was a huge tower in front of him, with a bright scarlet door. He assumed it was the entrance to Babel, and opened the door after he glanced at Jessica sleeping soundly.
He had never seen such a place before, it was overgrown with withered trees and intertwined roots, some trees had skeletons hanging from their branches. He was curious as to what kind of place Babel was and quickly took out his Laser Sword to be prepared to fight.
"My dear host, you just entered the first floor of Babel. Your training has begun. Initial ghost x 400; elite BOSS x 2!"
