The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

However … from what Ive gathered , none of that was your fault .

So why carry such a heavy burden of sorrow ? Grandpa , what exactly happened ? Luella asked , her confusion evident as she looked at Felix .

She then turned to Robin , her voice almost desperate .

Mr.

Ramsey … Robin gestured toward Felix .

Let your grandfather tell you .

After all , your grandfather was once a man of great talent and charm , quite the ladies man .

Felix let out a weary sigh .

Back then , Erit and I were working side by side , and there was another person involved your grandmother , Allie .

Ernst and Allie were once a couple .

And during those difficult years as we built the business , Allie suddenly found herself drawn to me .

And I … I fell for her too .

After much thinking , I betrayed my brother .

I took Allie away from him .

And after that , everything spiraled out of control .

Luella blinked in surprise , her voice trembling .

Grandpa , I didnt know you had such a … complicated history .

Felix shook his head , regret etched deeply on his face .

It was a mistake a mistake I can never take back .

But you and Grandma didnt do anything wrong , Luella protested .

She didnt love Ernst , and you didnt force her to be with you .

You dont owe him anything.

Felix raised his hand to stop her .

Lets not reopen those old wounds .

Your grandma is gone , and talking about it now will only bring more pain .

Robin sighed , his voice firm yet gentle .

Enough , Felix .

No more apologies .

I know youre just showing your weak side so that Id agree to help Luella .

Felixs eyes glistened with emotion , and he bowed deeply .

Mr.

Ramsey , please , I beg of you help Luella ! Just then , Luellas phone rang , interrupting the conversation .

Mr.

Ramsey , Ill be right back , she said quickly , stepping out of the room to answer the call .

Felix leaned in , speaking quietly .

Theres something I still dont understand .

When Luella was here earlier , I was careful not to say too much , worried it might cause problems .

Robins smile was faint but knowing .

Your most trusted assistant , Darson , is also a member of the Dark Night Alliance .

Now do you understand ? Felix froze his face filled with disbelief .

I knew it ! I shouldve seen it coming .

I never imagined it would 2/3 As Luella reentered the room , her face brightened with excitement .

Grandpa , Pierre just called .

Hes here for the Qacalisle Island Summit as the captain of the Autreynia mercenaries , and he heard from his father , Kolton , that we were here , so hes asked to visit us .

Felix nodded , his mood lightening .

Thats good .

Luell youll soon be in charge of the Aldridge business , and I need to make sure you have the best security and assistants .

Pierre is the son of Kolton , who is the vice captain of my guards .

Kolton has been by my side for almost two decades , showing even greater loyalty than Julius , though his skills are a bit limited .

Not long ago , when I mentioned setting up a guards team for you , Kolton suggested his son , Pierre , to take on the role of your captain .

Pierre is a seasoned fighter and currently leads Autreynias Sea Lion Force as their mercenary captain .

Hes spent years working as a mercenary in Fricana , Ugonland , and Ardenia .

Hes regarded as one of the top mercenaries in the world .

Im sure hes more than capable to be the captain of your security team .

Luella nodded thoughtfully .

Mr.

Ramsey , would you be able to attend our banquet tomorrow night ? Robin raised an eyebrow .

A banquet ? Luella smiled warmly .

Yes .

Vice Captain Kolton wishes for his son to come over tomorrow .

So , Grandpa wants to host a small gathering , invite a few friends , and see how Pierre fits in .

Well be at the villa tomorrow night .

Please , come Ill pick you up .

Sure , Robin said .

Ill be there .

As Robin left the mansion and drove to Duskhaven Hotel , he received a message from the Dark Web … Annies tracking the Northern Star Sect , searching for surveillance equipment from Dragon Manor ….
