The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

The setting sun , reluctant to end the day , shone through the haze , painting a vibrant farewell over the beautiful city of Sogas .

A soft breeze blew through , mixing with the poetic feel of the travelers at Sogas Airport , their hurried steps filled with dreams of far off places .

Just as Robin and his companions entered the plaza in front of the airport lobby , his phone buzzed .

He glanced at the screen and saw a message from Alice .

Thank you , Robin ! Robin smiled faintly and looked up .

The sun , a deep red , was sinking quickly as flocks of birds hurried back to their nests in the rising wind , The world never seemed to stop , with people constantly coming and going .

Fate had a way of bringing people together and tearing them apart those who were close could end up far away , while strangers could meet in the most unexpected ways .

A voice pulled him out of his thoughts .

Sir , what a coincidence to see you here ! Robin turned to see a frail , middle aged woman looking at him with grateful eyes that had seen hard times .

He then realized she had spoken to him in the Draconia language .

Maam , are you from Draconia ? Do we know each other ? The woman bowed deeply to Robin , her face alight with joy .

Yes , Im from Draconia .

Sir , are you also from Draconia ? Thank you so much ! She wore the uniform of an airport plaza cleaner , showing that she worked there .

Though her face looked worn and exhausted , her eyes shone with hope and gratitude .

Thank you so much , sir .

Seeing her bow repeatedly , Robin felt confused .

Maam , I havent done anything to help you .

Are you mistaking me for someone else ? 1/4 68 % The woman shook her head firmly .

Im not mistaken ! Your words in court today changed the judges decision .

Do you realize how many lives you saved ? What you said was incredible .

Youre a good person .

If you hadnt been there , many of us would have been left with no hope .

Only then did Robin grasp what she meant .

He smiled gently .

Maam , were you at the court today ? I wasnt inside , but I was outside .

I watched the broadcast and later heard other patients talking about you .

Sir , what you did was amazing .

Youre a lifesaver ! Noticing the light in her eyes , Robin asked , Maam , I just said what any ordinary person would .

If I may ask , are you affected by this situation ? The woman nodded , her voice filled with emotion .

Very much so ! I work at Sogas because of it .

My son is 13 and has leukemia .

The doctor said he could live if he took this medication .

But the medicine in Draconia is too expensive we cant afford it ! Ive spent all my savings , even sold our home .

My husband couldnt handle it and left us .

I have no way out .

The money I earn is never enough to cover the cost of the medicine .

But without it , my son will die .

Ive lived my life with nothing to show for it .

If I lose my son too , there would be no reason for me to go on .

Her eyes filled with grief and despair .

Later , Ms.

Miller told us we could get affordable medicine here .

Along with other patients from Draconia , I came here .

We work and get treatment for our children , saving a lot of money this way .

We thought we could always get cheap medicine here , but they sued Ms.

Miller and Ms.

Hyland .

If they were imprisoned , our source of medicine would be cut off like a death sentence for us .

We had no choice but to protest together .

But the officials said only the 40,000 dollars medicine was genuine , and the 200 dollars medicine was fake .

We cant afford the 40,000 dollars treatment , and the 200 dollars medicine is what keeps us alive .

F 2/4 Seeing the hope in her eyes , Robin sighed inwardly .

They had left their homeland , traveled to a foreign place , and endured countless hardships just to stay alive .

For ordinary folks in Draconia , a serious illness could destroy an entire family .

But those in power , sitting comfortably in their high positions , would never understand that survival itself had become a desperate dream for so many .

Maam , things will get better soon .

The Nine Stars Group will buy the global patent for Caffepan , and the price will be set at 200 dollars worldwide .

If Draconian authorities allow the medicine into the domestic market , youll be able to buy it at a low price back home .

Also , I heard that free universal healthcare might become available in Draconia soon .

I believe a brighter future is ahead .

Take care , Maam .

Were about to board our flight .

Robin said goodbye , and tears filled the womans eyes as she bowed deeply to him .

As he turned away , he felt a tightness in his chest .

He realized that the once indifferent person he had been was now moved by small , everyday moments .

Since stepping into the secular world a year ago , his confusion had only grown .

What went on in the minds of those polished and powerful leaders , sitting high above , as they remained blind to the struggles of ordinary people ? A harsh voice suddenly cut through his thoughts .

You idiot ! Are you blind ? You stepped on my shoe ! Lick it clean now ! The woman quickly bowed nervously .

Im sorry , sir .

I didnt notice you .

Ill clean it up right away ! Oh , are you from Draconia ? I told you to lick it clean ! Upon hearing the familiar voice , Robin paused and turned around to see what was happening .

Two Fricanians were gripping the womans collar , shouting angrily .

Im sorry , sir .

I didnt mean to step on your shoe .

Ill … Ill clean it for you , she stammered .

3/4 68 % One of the men took a step closer , his tone growing harsher .

I dont want you to just clean it .

I want you to apologize and lick my shoes ! His loud demands drew a crowd of bystanders .

Sir , let her go ! She only bumped into you by accident .

If you keep bullying her , well call the police ! someone in the crowd called out .

That Fricanian sneered .

Call the police ? Shes Draconian .

What could she possibly do , even if I hit her ? Hahaha … Is that so ? Robin stepped forward , his expression cold .

Let her go and say sorry , or Ill kill you .
