The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

3/4 The Deadly Assassin Robin Everything remained as calm and composed as it had always been in Draconia .

Life was still busy and running smoothly .

Everything remained as usual living and dreaming .

Sensitive folks would realize that Draconias higher ups were secretly making a significant move .

No one felt the ripples more than the people of Harmonfield , especially the Dunns and the Wrights .

Since Robins incident , Shirley had been wandering on Harmonfields Central Avenue in a daze .

Passersby spat and cursed at her .

Her peers slandered her name .

Some rascals longed to take advantage of the once- revered goddess of Harmonfield .

Fortunately , Amber , Daphne , Rita , Vera , Raymond , and Jonah stood by her side , shielding her .

Shirley , who was in excruciating pain , was saved from being abused by persons with malicious intentions .

Even so , it was impossible to guard against everything .

There were moments when furious middle aged women would break through and beat her .

The Dunns Group had become the symbol of evil capitalists in the eyes of the Harmonfield people .

Tears streamed down as countless voices screamed in protest .

If it werent for the ruthless exploitation of capitalist scum like the Dunns , they wouldnt be battling at the bottom of society .

Immediately afterward , Martin and Freya were reassigned in secret .

At the same time , Brookhavens wealthy tycoon , Carson , quietly vanished from public view .

Then came the eleventh day after the Snow Valley incident .

Henry was officially relieved of his position as the mayor of Harmonfield and ordered to report to the capital promptly .

This series of subtle changes quickly caused widespread speculation among those who tend to analyze the situation .

Among them , one theory spread faster than the rest .

The downfall of the Wrights and the Dunns was all because they were too close to Robin .

In Brookhaven and Harmonfield , anyone affiliated with the Wrights or Dunns was considered an outcast .

It didnt take long for the so called righteous faction in Harmonfield to cut all ties , establishing distinct borders .

Now , all they needed was for someone to step forward and give the rallying cry to kill them , and the crowd would swarm .

Beyond the so called righteous crowd of elderly men and women raising their fists for justice , some scoundrels who lingered on Central Avenue every day to insult Shirley , hurling eggs or whatever trash they could get their hands on .

Their faces lit up with twisted satisfaction as if bullying her filled some void in their lives .

The upper circles of Harmonfield were eerily silent .

The peaceful on sensed that this was the calm before the storm .

Meanwhile , those who observed had already noticed that anyone within Draconia who had once been closely associated with Robin was being swiftly removed from their original positions .

This was a clear signal .

The statement that Robin was a harbinger of disaster was now being gradually confirmed by some people within Harmonfields elite .

As a result , more people stepped forward , eager to list his so called crimes .

1/3 The ones who had always preached fairness and justice once again stood up in anger .

They declared that Robin and his ilk must be eradicated for the sake of true justice in this world .

Even those who had spent their lives cowering from street fights , the usual gangsters and thugs who thrived on bullying the weak , found themselves suddenly terrified and joined the ranks of the justice- seekers .

Emboldened , the righteous masses grew bolder , their declarations escalating as they claimed that even if the Divine Drakebane himself were to return , they would still take him down ! Some became so consumed with rage while condemning Robin collapsed on the spot , while others choked , coughed up blood , and died in sheer fury .

Those being transported to the hospital could still be heard shouting through the ambulance doors before , entering the intensive care unit .

They wanted to fight a tyrant like Robin ..

Harmonfield had become a stage , and each new declaration was another act in an ever escalating drama .

Fourteen days after news of Robins demise spread , the city was still blanketed in a mournful , endless snowfall .

At 7 in the morning , Central Avenue remained buried under thick layers of snow , untouched by sanitation workers .

Shirley stepped out of her home and walked the familiar path , crossing from the east side of the street to the west side again and again .

Through the flurries of snow , her gaze searched desperately for Robins figure .

Robin , where are you ? I miss you ! A year ago , four ruthless criminals kidnapped me .

I thought that time was my end .

At that time , you appeared like a miracle and saved me from those bad guys .

Do you know how happy I was then ? Robin , I know you are the invincible hero sent by God to protect me ! The whole world may believe youre gone , but I refuse to accept it .

You once told me no one in this world can kill you .

They said I had lost my mind , but Im not ! I believe youll come back .

New Year is still 15 days away .

Robin , Ill wait for you here , every single day .

If what theyre saying is true , then Ill end it all right here .

Ill follow you to the next world .

Her voice trembled , eyes glistening with unshed tears as she continued , Dont laugh at me for being weak , Robin .

I miss you so much .

I dont care about anything else anymore .

I just want to marry you right now and never be apart again … not in this life , not in the next three lifetimes either .

Ms.

Dunn , dont do this ! Please dont ! Amber sobbed , watching Shirleys lost , broken figure drifting through the snow covered street .

Amber , Vera , Daphne , and Rita had taken turns accompanying Shirley for days .

They wandered up and down Central Avenue with her hopelessly .

They wept and reminisced with her , sharing every warm moment of Robin .

They also persuaded her not to keep punishing herself like this .

However , she wouldnt listen .

She kept walking , kept searching , refusing to leave Central Avenue where her memories of Robin had been carved so deeply into her soul .

Vera arrived later with a carefully packed breakfast in her hands .

She stepped in front of Shirley and said , Shirley , lets eat some breakfast .

2/3 11:03 Thu , Apr 10 , G.

Shirley shook her head , her expression detached .

Im not hungry .

When Robin returns , Ill prepare a generous breakfast for him .

Vera clutched her arm , eyes brimming with tears .

Shirley , please stop this .

Robin … Robin is gone .

You cant keep torturing yourself like this anymore .

Shirley yanked Veras hand away .

Dont you dare say that ! Robin is not dead ! Now move ! Screech ! The sharp sound of ti flurry of snow into the air .

skidding across icy pavement tore through Central Avenue , sending a Jonah Ferguson rushed out of the car and sprinted to Shirley Dunn .

Ms.

Dunn ! Ms.

Jenning ! We have a problem ! Half of the Dunn Groups employees are outside with compensation contracts .

They want Ms.

Dunn to sign and compensate them for their losses .

Amber was taken aback .

Mr.

Ferguson , the Dunn Group is still paying their salaries on time ! Even this month , Mr.

Dunn Sr.

personally added an extra 1,000 dollars to each paycheck to support them .

What else are they asking for compensation for ? Jonah let out a heavy sigh .

Some of them claim that Dunn Groups current situation and Ms.

Dunns personal matters have implicated them .

They say that because of Robin , they feel ashamed to even walk outside .

Their families are being mocked .

Their friends and relatives look down on them .

These employees who came to claim compensation were all preparing to resign and change jobs .

They say no company is willing to hire former Dunn Group staff anymore .

Amber said furiously , The Dunn Group has been doing everything to protect them ! They have already begun to sell assets and distribute benefits to them , worried that they will be affected ! The Dunn Group owes them nothing ! Wheres their legal basis for demanding compensation ?! This is absurd ! Its as if the walls are collapsing , and everyone is shifting the blame to others .

Do they intend to take advantage of someone in a weak position ? 3.0K
