The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

Mateo quickly snapped out of his shock , his mind racing .

He rushed toward Robin without hesitation .

As he passed his son , Asher , still sitting in stunned silence on the ground , Mateo grabbed him roughly by the arm , yanking him to his feet and dragging him toward Robin , Mr.

Ramsey , my ungrateful son had no idea of your esteemed position , and he disrespected you .

Its entirely my fault for not raising him properly .

Please , I beg you , forgive him .

I will ensure that I teach him properly from now on , Mateo pleaded , his voice full of urgency .

Noticing that Robin remained unfazed , casually toying with the short gun in his hand , Mateo continued , I speak from the heart , Mr.

Ramsey .

Ive been so caught up with matters on Qacalisle Island , neglecting his upbringing , and thats why this rebellious boy became so arrogant .

But deep down , Asher isnt a bad person ; hes just foolish and immature .

Of course , he wronged you , Mr.

Ramsey , and he deserves punishment .

But please , tell me how you want him punished .

Ill make sure to carry it out ! I promise , in the future , he will never Before he could continue , Robin raised his hand , silencing him with a cold look .

He wont have a future .

As for how I want him punished ? Just kill him .

Mateo froze , his mind reeling .

Is he really going to kill my son ? Swallowing hard , he begged , Mr.

Ramsey , please show mercy and spare his life .

Tell me what I need to do to save him .

Just tell me how the Cattells can make it up to you .

I will do whatever it takes ! Robin casually shrugged .

Do you really think someone like me would need anything from you ? He then turned toward Felix and Luella , nodding toward Darson .

If he wont do it , you do it .

Darsons eyes widened , but he quickly feigned confusion .

M Mr .

Ramsey , are you talking to me ? Who else ? Robin tossed the gun toward Darson .

The man grabbed it , panic setting in .

He looked to Felix and Luella , and then back at Robin .

Mr.

Ramsey , I I dont kill people .

Dont kill people ? Then you can die with him ! Robin snapped , pointing to the vice captain of the Aldridge guards , Kolton .

You do it .

Darson quickly stepped back , his voice shaking .

Mr.

Ramsey , Ill follow your orders ! He turned to Mateo , shaking in fear .

Mateo Im sorry , but I must do this .

Mr.

Ramseys orders must be followed .

Before Mateo could respond , Darson fired at Asher .

The bullet struck directly between the brows , killing him instantly with a single shot .

Although Darson claimed he wasnt capable of killing and even feigned an appearance of extreme fear , every movement in the act of pulling the trigger was too precise to escape Robins keen observation .

The shot was executed so swiftly that no one had time react before Asher had already met his end .

12:20 Tue , Jan 21 GR .

Mateo , calm down .

Im just following orders … Darson protested , stepping back with the gun still clutched in his hands .

Robins voice was like ice .

Kill him too .

Darson flinched .

Mr.

Ramsey … Do you have a problem with that ? Robin demanded , licking his fingers impatiently .

N no , I dont , Darson stammered .

He raised the gun , shaking violently , and aimed at Mateo .

Ill do as you say ! In a desperate attempt , Mateo threw a punch at Darsons stomach , knocking the wind out of him .

Seizing the opportunity , Mateo dashed to a car and sped off .

Darson immediately fired a few shots , but they all missed .

Luella quickly ordered the Aldridge guards to shoot .

Robin raised a hand to stop them .

Forget it .

Hes already gone .

Chasing him now is pointless .

Ill send someone after him , Luella insisted , stepping forward .

No need .

Hell come back on his own , Robin said with a soft chuckle .

Felix and Luella exchanged uncertain glances , still unsure of Robins meaning .

Before they could voice their confusion , the words remained unspoken .

Darson wiped his forehead nervously , bowing in apology .

Mr.

Ramsey , Im so sorry .

Ive never killed anyone before , and I was just so nervous … H Robin chuckled knowingly .

Its fine .

Lets just hope next time you arent as nervous .

He then turned to Felix .

Old man , its been a while .

Felix finally relaxed , his tense nerves easing .

Mr.

Ramsey , you really scared me just now .

I thought you might take out your anger on me .

I wouldnt have made it out alive then .

You really think Im that petty ? Robin said with a pat on Felixs shoulder .

Lets go and talk You came all the way to Qacalisle Island to yisit me .

Im sure youve got something on your mind .

Luella looped her arm through Robins , leading the way , Grandpa , Mr.

Ramsey is not that petty .

Lets get in the car .

The three of them boarded Aldridges private vehicle , which took them straight to a secluded villa on the islands western shore .

This villa had been arranged secretly by Luella , with everything kept hidden from the Aldridge staff to ensure privacy .

Felix led Robin into a private meeting room in the vill 2/3 12:20 Tue , Jan 21 GR 67 % Once inside , Luella had the security team inspect every inch of the room before she closed the door .

She then prepared drinks and poured red wine for Robin .

Mr.

Ramsey , its been years , but youre still as sharp as ever , Felix said with a shrug as he handed Robin a glass .

I dont understand , though , he continued .

Why did you let Mateo go , and why did you say he would return on his own ? Also , why did you kill Julius , the captain of my guards whos been with me for almost eight years ? Felix asked .

From what I know , you dont kill without reason Robin casually spread his hand .

Old man , take a look at this .

He produced a small black coin like object .

This was on Julius , Robin said , showing it to Felix .

Felix recognized it immediately .

It was the same object the security team had reported to him about when Julius first joined the team , though nothing seemed unusual at the time .

Robin carefully rubbed the coin , and it opened , releasing a cloud of foul smelling black smoke .

Felix and Luella staggered back , their vision blurring as they lost consciousness .

After Robin sprayed some medicinal powder in front of their nose , it took a moment before they slowly regained their senses .

Wh what was that ? Luella murmured , confused .

That man was a member of the Dark Night Alliance .

If Im right , hes a pawn planted by your old rival , Ernst .

And hes just one of many , Robin explained coldly .

Felix broke out in a cold sweat .

Hes actually one of the Dark Night Alliance !
