The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

Chapter 853 The Poison of the Soul Capturing Parasite For a moment , Nigel stood frozen , unsure of how to react .

He hadnt expected Robin to point fingers at him .

However , Nigel didnt explode in anger .

Instead , he maintained a neutral expression , observing how the situation would develop .

He still wasnt sure if Robins actions were a direct accusation or just a diversion .

Mike , equally taken aback , hesitated for a long while before finally replying , Master Ramsey , I dare not speak out of turn .

Lord Westeria holds a position of great authority , far beyond one like me to make any assumptions .

Its fine , speak freely , Robin said indifferently .

Tell us exactly what you think ! Mike paused for a moment and said , Alright , since you insist , Master Ramsey , Ill speak plainly There was a high possibility that your deduction was correct , but there could be unforeseen Complications during the transmission of orders among the seven Orderly Officers .

However , if you are asking for evidence to pinpoint who was behind the delayed reinforcement that night , I have none to offer .

Rhett shot Nigel a strange look .

Before Mike could finish , he darkened his expression and said , Nigel , give me a straight answer .

Did you have something to do with this ? Hmph ! Youre full of nonsense ! Nigel snorted .

When I followed the Dragon Lord into battle years ago , I swore an oath that if I ever betrayed him , I would be struck by lightning and never find rest in death if I did ! Rhett , others might suspect me , but you … you old fool what gives you the right to doubt me ? Before Nigel could continue , Robin spoke up again , Captain Riverson , do you think Lord Southmere could be involved ? Rhett froze briefly , then fell silent .

Jayden slammed his hand on the table , furious .

Rhett , you b * stard ! For twenty years , Ive believed you were responsible for the delayed reinforcements that night ! All these years , youve been in cahoots with that sc * undrel Skylar , doing all kinds of shady deals ! I strongly suspect that it was you who betrayed the Dragon Lord ! Rhett was livid .

Jayden , what nonsense are you spouting ! Skylar might be a villain , but Ive always stood tall and never done anything dishonorable ! 1/4 Poison of the Soul Capturing Parasit If you keep throwing groundless accusation , Ill make you regret it ! Quinton quickly stepped forward , trying to mediate , but the argument only grew more intense .

Finished As all seven of them were embroiled in the argument , Robin shifted his gaze at the Mike standing before them .

A faint glimmer of satisfaction flickered in Mikes eyes , Sensing the s @ uation was escalating and about to spiral out of control , Levi rose quickly and interrupted .

Everyone , calm down ! Master Ramsey is simply investigating ; he hasnt decided who among you is responsible .

At Levis words , all seven of them fell silent , though each glared at the others with unspoken defiance in their eyes .

The room fell into quiet once more .

Robin surveyed the room before continuing , Captain Riverson , whats your take on what happened that night ? You can say whatever in your mind .

Here , it doesnt matter what rank or status anyone holds only the truth matters ! Yes , Master Ramsey! Mike bowed , then turned to the group and gave them a respectful nod .

Master Ramsey , my lords , after I delivered the orders that day , I returned to the Dragon Palace .

Robin nodded .

I see .

After you received the orders , you passed them along to the seven Orderly Officers .

Where did General Whalen go ? Mike responded without hesitation .

I encountered General Whalen on Dragon Manor Street .

He … He suddenly stopped , and the room fell into an eerie silence .

After a brief pause , Mike awkwardly laughed .

Master Ramsey , my lords , I misspoke in my nervousness .

Misspoke ? Robin raised an eyebrow .

Where did you make a mistake ? I I didnt see General Whalen on the way back to the Dragon Palace , Mike quickly explained .

What I meant was , I intended to ask General Whalen about Young Lord Dragons whereabouts .

Robin pointed to Franco and asked , General Whalen , did Captain Riverson misspeak ? Is this the man you saw that day ? Mike froze .

Franco ? Only now did he notice the haggard , thin man sitting in the position of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul none other than General Whalen , who had delivered the Golden Dragon Order years ago .

Y youre General Whalen ? Franco nodded.

Captain Riverson , its been twenty years .

I still remember the three men in blue who fought me on that street .

Chapter 853 The Poison of the Soul Capturing Parasit 1 General Whalen , that day I was wearing black , Mike rushed to explain .

Finished Franco chuckled knowingly .

Captain Riverson , your memory is sharp it was indeed three men in black .

Mike froze again , his panic growing , General Whalen , there were only two … Everyone exchanged puzzled glances at Mikes rambling ..

Mike suddenly realized something and asked , General Whalen , are you setting me up ? Franco shrugged .

Mike , youre overthinking it .

If those men in black werent you , why are you so nervous ? Mike froze again .

General Whalen , dont be ridiculous .

After delivering the orders , I immediately returned to the Dragon Palace .

How can you suspect me ? Franco scoffed coldly , said nothing further , and sat down .

The others still didnt understand what Franco meant .

Master Ramsey , Mike turned and asked , Master Ramsey , has General Whalens mental state been compromised in recent years ? Robin shrugged .

Im not entirely sure .

But I do know that the delay of the reinforcements was caused by a poison of a parasite called the soul- capturing parasite , which induces nations .

All of the reinforcements saw heavy fog that night .

That fog was caused by the controlling parasite .

I also know that this parasite can only be cultivated and controlled by one person in the world .

The parasites lifespan is only one hour .

The person using this parasite can control the soul of the infected for that hour .

The parasites transmission is simple ; its triggered by scent , allowing the host to infect others with the parasite .

The only person capable of cultivating this parasite is the Vice Leader of the Dark Night Alliance , Algernon Mulligan ! It was only yesterday that I confirmed Algernon was the mastermind behind the delay of the reinforcements at Dragon Manor .

Mike tried to maintain his composure .

Master Ramsey how did you learn all of this ? Because yesterday , I killed Algernons son , Robin slowly stood .

I learned it from him .

Mikes body trembled involuntarily at this revelation .

But his face quickly flashed with a brief look of malice before returning to a calm expression .

Hes right under our nose !
