The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

The Deadly Assassin Robin Well … Jack frowned , carefully choosing his words .

General Whalen might not seem intimidating at first glance , but back in the day , he was the toughest fighter among the 12 of us .

When he fought , he was unstoppable .

Let me tell you something .

About 23 years ago , during the battle at the southeastern border , General Whalen held off over a hundred enemies by himself , armed only with a combat knife .

By the end , they were begging for mercy .

Want to know how it ended ? Bill raised an eyebrow , curious .

Did he spare them ? Jacks smirk was cold as he responded , He killed every single one of them .

The men he took on were some of the best , and he wiped them all out single handedly .

Bill laughed dismissively .

To him , it sounded like a far fetched story , a tale meant to impress but lacking real weight .

Jack shook his head .

Let me put it this way : Even if all 11 of us teamed up , we wouldnt stand a chance against him .

Do you really think you could survive one of his blows So , my advice is to pick someone a bit easier to deal with like me .

Bill gave Jack a once over , taking in his muscular build before smirking .

Ha ! You think Im buying that ? General Grayson , youre telling me youre the weakest out of all of us , with your size and strength ? I know what youre trying to do , but I trust my instincts .

Im sticking with General Whalen .

Besides , Commander in Chief Ramsey said that if I defeat one of you , I can skip the rest of the tests .

Ive been dreaming of competing in the international military competition , and this is my shot .

Im not letting it slip away .

Jack sighed and shook his head , grinning .

Alright , have it your way .

Just dont come crying to us old guys when you regret this later .

Bill stood firm , unwavering .

I wont regret it ! Flint laughed , clapping Bill on the back .

Thats the spirit , kid ! Colonel Lineker , Im rooting for you ! Back in this very arena , Franco used to chase me around like a dog .

1/4 12:14 Sat , Jan 18 B Understood ! Bills confidence soared as he heard Flints encouragement , though he completely missed the part about him being chased by Franco .

As Bill confidently walked to the arena , the other officers chuckled lightly , amused by his enthusiasm .

Bill climbed onto the platform , and Franco pointed to the crowd below .

Gavin , youre up too .

All of you from the top three in the training base rankings , get up here ! Bill hesitated for a moment .

General Whalen , I can handle this on my own .

Why are you calling others ? Youre too cocky ! Gavin snapped , stepping onto the platform .

At that moment , Gavin was eager to shove Bill off the stage .

Youll learn how foolish you are .

I just hope you dont beg for mercy later .

Most of the officers knew what was coming .

Franco was obsessed with fighting .

Once a battle started , he wouldnt stop until his opponent begged him to .

Bill had just called Franco the weakest of the Twelve Great Warriors , and now it was clear that Franco would make an example out of him .

Back in the day , Gavin had trained with Franco , and he knew the mans relentless intensity .

Despite his lean frame , Franto was notorious for punishing his opponents until they begged for mercy .

And now , Bill this fool had chosen to face Franco .

It was nothing short of a death wish .

At this point , Gavin didnt care anymore .

He knew that even four of them combined couldnt defeat Franco .

But being beaten by one of Dragon Souls fiercest warriors would be an honor .

Bill , Talia , and George , the top three from the training base , stood on the platform .

Gavin , the assistant chief instructor , joined their ranks , and the four of them stood before Franco .

Franco glanced at the clock .

Lets set a time limit no more than 30 seconds .

I dont want to lose control .

Gavin was about to agree when Bill stepped forward .

General Whalen , 30 seconds isnt enough ! Gavin nearly lost his temper .

Franco had set the time limit to avoid overexerting himself and hurting Bill too much .

He would rather stop before he completely lose himself in the zone during battle .

Yet Bill was complaining about it being too short .

That was asking for trouble .

Rill continued .

Youve been through a lot in these past years General Whalen and the intensity of the 2 2/4 12:14 Sat , Jan 18 ti Maybe youre not at your peak right now , but this is about the international military competition in seven days .

Since Commander in Chief Ramsey asked you generals to help us reach the finish line , I expect you to give it your all .

One minute wont be enough .

Franco frowned .

How much time do you think we need ? Without hesitation , Bill replied , General Whalen , I think at least ten minutes for this showdown .

Gavin nearly collapsed in disbelief .

Ten minutes ? If Franco decided to go all out for ten minutes , Bill would probably never forget it .

Meanwhile , George and Talia stood tall , eager for the challenge .

To face off against a legend like Franco was an honor .

Whats more , it was an opportunity to prove themselves by taking down their idol .

They were excited just thinking about it .

The Senior Generals and the 11 Great Warriors of Dragon Soul , watching from the stands , were initially stunned by Bills audacity , but then they all burst into laughter .

Flint nodded approvingly .

Well , hes young and reckless , all right ! This is the kind of courage our successors need .

Franco , watching Bills fiery determination , nodded .

Ten minutes is too long .

Lets make it five .

Bill remained firm .

General Whalen , if you cant last ten minutes , how will you ensure were ready for the final competition in seven days ? Gavin snapped , Bill , what are you doing ? Bill stood resolute .

Im taking responsibility for the success of this five day intensive training ! Francos voice grew cold .

Colonel Lineker , if you insist on this , dont regret it .

I wont regret it ! Bill answered , his voice joined by Talia and George in unity .

Franco smiled coldly .

Remember , if we dont fight for ten minutes , none of you leave the ring .

Even if you die here youll keen fighting ! 3/4 12:14 Sat , Jan 18 B The Deadly Assassin Robin
