The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

.

Zayden and Trix instinctively pursed their lips .

Their faces twisted with arrogance and disdain as they looked at Robin .

Robin sat silently at the table , his expression unreadable .

His fingers drummed rhythmically on the tabletop .

Jethros face darkened further .

Taking a deep breath , he tried to suppress his anger and asked , Mr.

Mickton , what were you doing when you were 20 ? Anton shrugged , his voice dripping with pride .

When I was 20 , I was already chosen by the Dragon Lord and brought into the Dragon Palace as a senior technical advisor .

Jethros response was flat .

At that age , Dragon Lord must have thought highly of you .

Did he also look down on the youth , like you do now ? Dragon Lord valued me , Anton sneered .

Its because Im exceptionally talented .

Back then , among millions of scholars , Dragon Lord chose me .

It proves Im the brightest star in a sea of people .

Im a genius .

Do you really think the Commander youve chosen for this tournament compares to me ? Jethros expression grew grim and he asked coldly , If youre so talented , then how do you measure up in front of Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon ? Antons eyes flickered with a hint of awe .

Although Im a genius , I admit I still fall far short compared with them .

Jethro shook his head and said , Mr.

Mickton , Dragon Lord nurtured you , but you never learned humility or respect .

Anton chuckled .

Humility is for the weak .

I dont need to learn it .

Jethro shook his head and said , Fine .

You probably left the Dragon Palace too early , which is why youre so arrogant .

Maybe youve been with the Thalrex Order for too long and have grown too bold .

! Anton , considering your background from the Dragon Palace , I want to advise you only ignorance breeds arrogance .

Theres always something that cant be imagined , but nothing is impossible .

Dont think that just because youre in some so called mysterious organization , youre the most powerful person in the world .

Let me tell you , there are people out there a hundred mes stronger than you ! You walked in here , constantly provoking us and showing no intention of equal coopération ! 1/4 10:10 Sat , Jan 11 Anton , if you keep this uncooperative attitude , I will report you to the higher ups at the Thalrex Order and have them replace you .

I cant stand your lack of manners ! Jethros anger made Anton momentarily fall into panic This was his first tinte representing the organization in collaboration with the military liaison division .

He understood the message .

If Jethro did indeed report him to the higher ups , he could lose his opportunity to attend the Summit Meeting .

After a long , uncomfortable silence , Anton softened his tone just slightly .

General Quintana , I understand how you feel right now .

But please , try to see things from my perspective .

The Thalrex Order is one of the leading members of the tournament and we ranked first .

This means that , regardless of the outcome of the tournament , I will bear the primary responsibility .

If we fail to complete the task assigned by our superiors , it is the Thalrex Order that will face the most severe punishment , not your liaison department .

To secure a place at the top tier small meeting in this Summit and to take responsibility for the tournaments outcome , I must be strict with the team youve provided .

Im not trying to make things difficult for you .

But putting a young man with no accomplishments as the Commander in Chief of this tournament- dont you think thats a bit reckless ? His credentials are too shallow , and having him participate in a Summit Meeting with people of our status is , frankly , a joke .

Because of this , I seriously doubt his ability .

Jethro fell silent , unsure how to respond to Antons arrogance .

Mr.

Mickton , you want to see our strength with your own eyes ? he asked .

Anton exchanged a look with Zayden , a sneer crossing his face .

Of course , General Quintana .

How can we trust the results of this tournament if we havent seen the strength of the team ? A complicated look flashed in Jethros eyes and he asked , So , what would you consider seeing our strength ? Anton leaned back in his chair , exuding condescension 2/4 Sal , General Quintana , the military officer beside me is 25 years old and a Level 3 Warrior of the Thalrex Order .

His combat abilities are the lowest tier in our organization .

But that doesnt mean hes weaker than the top warriors out there .

Warriors like Zayden are selected from the strongest fighters in Draconia by the Thalrex Order .

Perhaps youre not familiar with how we select warriors for our organization .

I can reveal a bit to you .

Anyone who becomes a military officer in the Thalrex Order must be a champion of their respective team .

These champions fight through numerous trials to emerge as the best among the best before they can join our ranks .

And it doesnt stop there .

The most elite warriors selected must defeat the strongest opponents in the country before they can become part of the Thalrex Orders elite guard .

To put it bluntly , Zayden once defeated Wilson and Gavin in less than 20 moves .

These two generals , regarded as military gods in your army , were defeated effortlessly by him .

And what about him ? Anton sneered , pointing smugly at Robin .

If this Commander in Chief has the ability , then let him last 30 moves without being knocked down by Zayden .

Only then will I reluctantly admit he has some strength .

Commander in Chief Ramsey , do you believe you can last 30 moves against Zayden ? Jethro frowned and said , Mr.

Mickton, are you going to prove your ignorance like this ? Anton wasnt upset with the question , he simply smiled faintly .

I just want to know if Commander in- Chief Ramsey dares to try .

Robin casually picked up a pen from the table and raised an eyebrow .

Thirty moves ? Thats a waste of time .

Anton was stunned .

So youre saying you cant even last 30 moves ? Well , how many do you think it will take ? Robin twirled the pen between his fingers .

One move is too much of a waste on him .

Antons smile faded and his face darkened .

Commander in Chief Ramsey , youre too arrogant .

Zayden clenched his fists in anger and roared , How dare you insult me ? Insult you ? You think too highly of yourself ! Robin raised an eyebrow , casually tossing the pen onto the table .

3/4 10:11 Sat , Jan 11 G.

Trix rushed to help him , but Zayden was trembling , his face in shock , blood dripping from the corner of his mouth .

Jethro understood what had happened .

He shook his head in disdain and said , A frog in a well knows nothing of the ocean .

You cant see the forest for the trees .

Jethro had heard of Robins most deadly ability musical assassination .

By manipulating sound ;, Robin could synchronize a targets heartbeat with the rhythm and kill them .

If Zayden had been an enemy , he would be dead right now .

Robin pointed at Zayden and asked , So this is your Thalrex Orders top warrior ? Pathetic .

Anton stood up , enraged , and shouted at Robin , What kind of dark magic did you use ? Robins face turned cold .

Youre just a frog in a well ! Are you here to negotiate or start trouble ? If were not talking , then leave ! A bunch of ignorant , arrogant fools .

No wonder your team always ends up at the bottom of the tournaments .

You lose because of garbage like you ! You act tough with your people , but outside , youre all weaklings .

With a team like this , of course , youll lose .

I wont work with you what a bunch of useless teammates ! With that , he stood up abruptly , ready to leaye .

I wont work with you what a bunch of useless teammates ! With that , he stood up abruptly , ready to leave .
