The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

The Deadly Assassin Robin Felix stood frozen , his hands trembling as his eyes fixated on the dark object lying ominously on the coffee table .

The suddenness of the situation left him struggling to process what was happening .

Beside him , Luella was equally stunned .

The man she had trusted Julius was revealed to be a member of the Dark Night Alliance ! Who else can be trusted in a world like this ? Behind all the friendly smiles and acts of loyalty , there is nothing but betrayal .

The room was heavy with an unsettling silence , filled with a sense of helplessness and despair .

Nothing felt worse than realizing such a painful truth .

After a brief moment of shock , Felix lowered his head , deep in thought .

No … this doesnt make sense .

Theres something wrong here ! Luella , observing her grandfather muttering to himself , couldnt hide her growing frustration .

Grandpa , Mr.

Ramseys judgment has never been wrong .

What do you mean this doesnt make sense ? Felix quickly waved his hands in apology .

No , no , thats not what I meant ! I would never doubt Mr.

Ramseys judgment .

I just have some doubts I cant quite explain yet .

Who instructed Julius to infiltrate the Aldridges ? To become the captain of our guards , one must pass extremely strict background checks .

How did he slip through all those barriers and get so close to the core of our family ? Felixs brow furrowed as he continued , And why would someone from the Dark Night Alliance want to infiltrate us ? If they wanted our wealth , they could have just killed me and taken it .

No need for all this secrecy and manipulation .

Hes been with us for eight years .

He had countless opportunities to destroy me , you , and our family … but why hasnt he done anything ? Felixs voice trembled with confusion .

This doesnt add up .

Luellas eyes narrowed as she started to understand .

Youre right , Grandpa .

These two questions are indeed perplexing .

The Dark Night Alliance has no reason to target the Aldridges .

So why would they send Julius to infiltrate us ? Over the years , he has always seemed loyal .

Ive never seen him act in a way that would harm the family .

Felix sighed heavily .

Could it be … The Dark Night Alliance withdrew from the world 20 years ago , cutting ties with the dark side of things .

Now theyre back .

They must have a purpose .

If Julius is from the Dark Night Alliance , why did he come to us ? Are they after everything we have ? Or is the timing not right for them ? Do they have another plan ? I know the Dark Night Alliance has plenty of resources .

They dont need our wealth .

People in the underground world arent interested in money .

They have their own sources .

What could they possibly want from us ? 1 J 1 .

O11 A 1 f … 1/3 years , and vour mind is sharp .

But theres one thing you didnt think about .

When your old rival , Ernst , supposedly died of illness , did you actually see his body ? Did you witness his death firsthand ? What if hes still alive ? And what if hes made a deal with the Dark Night Alliance ? Julius had been working for you for eight years , never making a mistake .

He was loyal , never giving himself away .

That could explain everything .

Felix stood abruptly , his face pale , his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and dawning understanding .

How did I miss this ? Ernst was a man of schemes .

I should have known he would have a backup plan .

When we first started working together , I warned him that such underhanded methods wouldnt work .

Building a successful career takes honesty and integrity , not lies and conspiracies .

Felixs voice faltered as he continued , I never imagine he would hate me this much .

Deep down , he knows the failure in the Ugonland market had nothing to do with the Aldridges .

Robin chuckled softly .

It doesnt matter whether it was your fault or not .

The fact is , Ernst sees you as his enemy now .

His mind is twisted with resentment , and hes filled with hatred toward you .

When jealousy consumes a person , they become a force of destruction Felix shook his head , despair creeping into his tone .

But why not just destroy us quickly ? Why the slow torture , like death by a thousand cuts ? Robin leaned forward , his expression darkening .

The cruelest way to hurt someone isnt to end their life right away .

Its to break them down slowly , to make them wish they were dead , to take everything from them until theyre left in despair .

If Ernst is still alive , hell make sure the Aldridges suffer , one by one , until theres nothing left but fear and misery .

Felix , imagine this : If you were Ernst , how satisfying would it be to watch the Aldridges fall apart , then take your place as the victor , rubbing it in your enemys face ? Felix shuddered , the realization sinking in .

Never underestimate a man with a grudge .

Once hes determined to take you down , no matter how powerful you are , he will destroy you .

His voice became shaky .

Mr.

Ramsey , I feel like Im already decaying , ready to fade away .

My life is no longer important , and the Aldridges wealth means nothing to me now .

Even if the family falls , I wouldnt care .

I just hope the wealth Ive spend my whole life accumulating wouldnt bring upon disaster to Luella .

Shes the last heir of the Aldridges .

If Ernst is really alive , and hes after her , thats pure evil ! Felixs voice cracked with emotion .

Theyve already killed my son and my nephew .

Now they want to kill Luella .

Suddenly , Felix groveled before Robin , his voice desperate .

Please , Mr.

Ramsey , save Luella .

Ill give up everything the Aldridges fortune .

I just want her to live a normal life , like any other child , without fear .

Shes been living with this curse since birth .

* Felixs voice broke with sorrow .

Her 20th birthday … That was when everything fell apart for her .

This is all my fault .

If Id known that all the wealth I worked for would bring ruin , I would have chosen a simpler life , even without money .

Ive wanted to walk away so many times , but … I cant .

If I leave , things will only get worse .

Theres no escape from this nightmare .

Mr.

Ramsey … Please , show me the way .

I just want out of this horrible world .
