The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

napter 1237 1 Demand All The chill of the night winds were biting , more than ever .

You have unconventional weapons ? So do I.

Yet the freezing danger in Robins words were more threatening than whatever the winds could bring .

A cold , heavy silence swept over Gustov and the Tanqueria officials .

The memory of Sakuranias naval destruction was fresh vivid .

The annihilation of the 88 Fleet had etched itself into their minds , making it impossible to forget .

After that cataclysmic assault , Tanquerias weapons experts had pored over the event .

They analyzed every detail , every angle .

Robins attack speed had surpassed anything they knew .

Faster than the worlds most advanced missiles .

The strike was instantaneous .

Five seconds from order to obliteration .

If Robin still controlled such superweapons , if Tanqueria gave the order to unleash unconventional weapons against him , no one would question his ability to press the button and wipe them out .

Once he entered , attack mode , there would be no retreat , no stopping him .

One mistake , and Tanqueria could vanish from the face of the earth .

The weight of the moment settled over the room .

The top Tanqueria officials , seasoned warriors , stared at Robin with a new understanding .

This was no ordinary man .

This was a reaper , a madman , a devil .

When fueled by vengeance , Divine Drakebane was unstoppable .

Thomas , standing quietly nearby , shifted his attention to Zayden and Trix .

He knew these two had worked with Robin before .

Zayden and Trix met his gaze .

They understood what he was trying to say .

They had seen Robins wrath firsthand .

His threats werent just words .

Thomass eyes stayed locked on Robin, a cold chill creeping down his spine .

He couldnt fathom the devastation if Robin unleashed his full power .

Gustov took a slow , steady breath .

Mr.

Drakebane , I wont deny it .

Youre powerful .

Your courage could topple even the strongest .

But heed this : after a storm of reckless violence , only disaster remains .

He leaned forward , eyes sharp .

Do you really believe the land you stand on is secure ? sace nardened , his voice steady .

They will not allow a threat to stay so close to them .

Power structures wont tolerate someone like you .

Your pride , your strength , your charisma they see you as a threat , Even if you dont mean to harm them , they will see you as a danger that must be eradicated .

Robins cold laugh cut through the air .

I dont need your reminder about the politics .

And dont even think about playing divide and conquer to make me back down .

Gustov nodded , his face unreadable .

You might be right .

But hear me out .

He paused , locking eyes with Robin .

Years ago , I had dealings with your grandfather , the Dragon Lord .

His voice softened , respect mingling with the memory .

I was in awe of him his strength , his character .

But your grandfather , and your father , Young Lord Dragon , disappeared at the height of their power .

Vanished without a trace .

Twenty years , and no one has answered why .

He leaned forward , his voice growing low .

Do you really believe the invincible Dragon Lord fell to a rival or an ambush ? He shook his head slowly .

Thats only one piece of the puzzle .

Ill give you a hint .

Back then , the Dark Night Alliance and Dark Syndicate had their fingers deep in the land .

Many powerful figures were in their grasp .

Your own people could take down a superhero without anyone elses help .

Gustov let out a quiet laugh .

And its still the same today .

His tone grew darker , colder .

If you dont get back to your family soon , your friends , your fiancée , and your loved ones theyll be hunted down .

Tortured .

Killed .

Persecuted by your own people .

… Dont believe me ? Try it .

Robins eyes locked onto Gustovs .

He wiped the snow from his shoulder with a slow , deliberate motion .

Are you done ? Then make your move .

His words echoed through the tense silence .

Enough talk .

Its all just nonsense .

Gustovs eyes narrowed , his jaw tightening .

Alright .

Mr Drakebane , what does Tanqueria need to do for you to walk away ? The moment the words left his lips , the room froze .

The high ranking Tanqueria officials recognized the shift .

The God of War was beginning to compromise .

Robins steps were measured , every movement calculated .

His voice rang out , cold as steel .

Each word carved through the silence like a blade .

Tanquerias highest leadership must publicly apologize to Divine Drakebane .

They must apologize to the 214 +8 Pearls Quintana Residence .

His gaze never wavered .

Valdemar , the Director of Tanquerias National Scucity Bureau , must be handed over to me .

Only then will this matter be settled .

The demand was impossible .

A direct blow to Tanquerias pride .

They could never submit to a single man , let alone publicly apologize .

And handing over Valdemar ? That was beyond unthinkable .

Tanqueria could never accept such terms .

Gustovs face darkened , his features tightening with fury .

Divine Drakebane , youve gone too far ! His voice dropped , sharper now .

Do you even realize what youre saying ? Not only have you broken the worlds rules , you clearly have no understanding of how people like us work .

For years , those of our power have respected a mutual non aggression pact honoring peace , upholding balance .

And yet here you are , hell bent on destroying that sacred rule ! Do you understand the consequences ? Your actions might even turn your own leaders against you .

Break the rules ? Robin scoffed , his laughter cutting through the tension like a blade .

Im not the one who broke them first .

Enough talk ! If you cant accept my demands , then lets settle this the old fashioned way .

Fight me ! Gustov shuddered .

The weight of it settled in his chest .

He knew Tanqueria had been the first to cross the line Yakonovs missile strike on Snow Valley had been quietly approved by Tanquerias highest ranks , It was all part of a carefully laid plan one aimed at removing a threat with someone elses hand .

They hadnt expected Robin to survive .

And then , Valdemars catastrophic decision made it worse .

They were now trapped in this unbearable mess .

Gustov finally dropped his proud posture , his shoulders slumping .

Mr.

Drakebane , right and wrong … it doesnt matter anymore .

Yakonov made a mistake , but youve already exacted your revenge .

Can we find some middle ground ? 3/2 09:15 Thu , Apr 17 G to the world .

Just … let go of this obsession .

We can part Peace ? Let it go ? Robin laughed , a cruel sound that echoed through the biting cold .

His laughter vibrated the still night , making the air feel colder , the tension unbearable .

Thomas stepped forward , voice cautious .

Mr.

Drakebane , this is a fair proposal .

Continuing this fight is meaningless itll only lead to mutual destruction , or worse .

Get lost ! Robin roared , the cold in his voice enough to freeze the air .

My vengeance would have ended once the Northwest Defense Base fell .

But your National Security Bureau insisted on eliminating me .

And now you want to talk peace ? Youve challenged my authority .

Youll pay for it tenfold ! If you want to back out , youll meet every one of my demands ! Gustovs eyes narrowed , a dangerous fire burning in them .

A heavy , murderous aura radiated from him Divine Drakebane , do you really think Tanqueria has no way of dealing with you ?! 3.2K
