The Deadly Assassin Robin Outside the grand Qacalisle International Convention Center , an unsettling silence fell over the crowd .
An oppressive , almost suffocating atmosphere weighed heavily on those gathered .
Their eyes darted toward the heir to the prestigious family , drawn to her regal aura .
A sudden chill rippled through the group , as if her icy presence had seeped into their very bones .
The autumn sun beat down relentlessly , amplifying the heat of the already stifling sea breeze , which seemed to carry a sense of anxious impatience .
In the distance , the late season cicadas continued their song , oblivious to the approaching winter , adding a sense of dissonance to the scene .
Pierres face turned ashen , his expression torn .
His once proud stance , once filled with youthful defiance , crumbled under the weight of the moment .
With a heavy thud , he collapsed to the ground , his pride shattered by the crushing reality .
Pierre groveled before them .
Just as Kolton arrived , he kicked Pierre in the leg .
You fool ! What gave you the audacity to gamble with Mr.
Ramsey ? Now , youd better fulfil your bet ! Felix entered , his warm demeanor shining through .
Whats going on , Kolton ? Kolton immediately bowed low .
Mr.
Felix , Pierre has foolishly insulted Mr.
Ramsey .
Felix exchanged a glance with Robin before turning to Pierre still groveling at their feet .
Is there really someone who dares to challenge Mr.
Ramsey ? Show me the bet .
Guards quickly presented the gambling agreement to Felix .
Pierre , with lingering defiance , spoke up .
Mr.
Felix , he … he said that if the Aldridges dared to challenge him , he would crush them without hesitation ! Felix chuckled softly .
Thats exactly right .
If not for Mr.
Ramsey , wed have been gone years ago and wed still be gone now , and in the future , too .
In other words , the Aldridges are nothing compared to Mr.
Ramsey .
He could take down the Aldridges at any moment .
He can even have my granddaughter , Luella .
Well , if Mr.
Ramsey were interested , of course .
Felixs words shook everyone in the hall , their impact impossible to ignore .
It was unimaginable to hear the head of the Aldridge family , the most powerful dynasty in the world , speak with such humility ! 1/4 13:15 Sat , Jan 25 What kind of power did one need to make the leader of the worlds most influential family bow so deeply ? Cyril , standing nearby , couldnt help but gasp .
It was a relief that he hadnt acted too rashly earlier .
Now , watching Pierre , still unwilling to accept defeat while lying on the floor , Cyril could only laugh bitterly at himself .
/ What is Pierre , the so called King of Mercenaries , in comparison to this kind of power ? Hes completely out of his depth .
As Felix finished speaking , Kolton immediately bowed before Robin again .
Mr.
Ramsey , Pierre has insulted you with his arrogance .
Let me deal with him to ease your anger .
Kolton knew that Robin could end Pierres life with a single motion .
If Pierre still didnt understand his position , his fate was sealed .
Yesterday , Kolton had seen how Julius , the Aldridges long serving captain , met his end at Robins hands .
Robin wasnt a noble gentleman ; he was a ruthless beast .
What Pierre and his ignorant allies didnt realize was that the man before them was Divine Drakebane , a name feared even by gods .
His terrifying reputation had been built in an impossibly short time , with the bodies of the worlds most powerful enemies piling up in his wake .
Forget Kolton and Pierre the so called powerful men Even if the top 30 superpowers of the World of Darkness gathered , they would be no more than ants before Divine Drakebane .
What made Robin even more terrifying wasnt just his own unmatched power .
He was backed by a vast global network of assassins and spies , far more powerful than anyone could imagine .
This network stretched across every corner of the globe Erasing a multi billion dollar organization ? A matter of sending out a few orders .
The Aldridges wealth , influence , and security forces were nothing in comparison .
If Robin wanted , he could wipe out the Aldridges in less than two hours .
What most people considered strength was mere childs play .
True strength , like Robins , defied all comprehension .

Pierre thought that by becoming the leader of Sea Lion Force and earning the title of the King of Mercenaries in Ugosea , he was unbeatable .
Little did he know , in the face of someone like Robin , he wasnt even worth considering .
The thought of Pierre gambling with Robin? It was a foolish , terrifying mistake .
Captain Pierre , you cant keep groveling like this ! Get up ! Youre the King of Mercenaries ! Abner , pushing through the crowd , rushed to shout , surprising everyone with his audacity .
The world is never short of fools ! Everyone turned to stare at Abner as if he were out of his mind .
What does it matter if the Aldridges stand with him ? Abner continued , trying to help Pierre to his feet .
Were not just anyone ; were the elite mercenaries of the world ! You cant just grovel like this .
By doing this , youve thrown away your glory , and now youll carry this shame for the rest of your life , Pierre .
You dont have to honor the bet ! I dont believe hell kill you in front of all these reporters ! Felixs eyes narrowed with displeasure as he glanced at the reporters .
Ladies and gentlemen , theres nothing I despise more than having our familys business exposed to the media everything Mr.
Ramsey does today included .
If anyone wants to test the Aldridges strength , feel free Our security forces would be more than happy to eliminate any challengers ! The reporters quickly gasped and shut off all their equipment .
Without a word , they deleted every piece of evidence they had .
Felix was not joking .
Turning to Abner , he said , So , you think this world doesnt need contracts ? Abner scoffed .
Contracts ? Ha , those are for the weak ! The strong dont follow rules or mundane agreements ! Any contract I sign can be broken , as long as it benefits me ! Anyone who thinks a contract can hold me is a fool ! Felix laughed .
This is the first time in my life / Ive heard someone speak so confidently … like a sc * undrel ! Kolton , based on his logic , this idit doesnt even deserve to live in this world ! With a casual smile , Felix delivered this deadly judgment as if commenting on the weather .
Two Aldridge guards quickly seized Abner , knocking him out and dragging him away in a vehicle before speeding off 3/4 13.15 Sal , Jall 20 The diplomatic attaché from Weronnia didnt dare intervene Abners fate was of no concern to them .
After some hesitation , Pierre finally lowered his face to the ground , honoring his bet .
Mr.
Ramsey , I accept defeat .
From now on , I promise to forever respect you ! 472 he spartine Warrior +8 Pearls General Quintana , would it be possible for Mr.
Ramsey to arrange a casual meeting sometime ? A simple chat .
Jethro smiled politely and responded , Mr.
Higgins , Mr.
Ramsey doesnt make plans ahead of time .
If its meant to happen , it will .
No need to force it .
Cyril nodded reluctantly , muttering to himself .
Of course , someone like Mr.
Ramsey doesnt need to bother with connections or arranging meetups .
Mr.
Ramsey … A soft voice called out , breaking the otherwise serene silence .
It came from the far edge of the plaza .
Robin stopped and turned to look .
Trix stood there , looking sorrowful .
Mr.
Ramsey , I I realize I was wrong .
Could you find it in your heart to forgive my ignorance ? Robin ignored her and coldly walked away .
Why ?! Trix shouted at his retreating form .
I only spoke a little more than I should have did you have to punish me for that ? Thats the price for not knowing your place , Robin called back without looking , his words drifting behind him as he and Luella got into the car .
1 As the convoy began to move , Trix stood there , overwhelmed with regret .
Robin was seated in Felixs car , which was designed like a small conference room .
The back seats were separated from the drivers section providing a spacious and private area .
The rear of the car was soundproof , without any blind spots , and had excellent lighting and ventilation to ensure comfort .
Once the door closed , Felix activated anti surveillance and anti eavesdropping devices .
He gave Robin a shrug .
Sorry , Mr.
Ramsey , but I need to report something privately .
Robin fully understood Felixs need for safety .
At his level , a bullet could take him out from miles away at any time .
That was the harsh reality more wealth and power meant less personal freedom .
Mr.
Ramsey , the banquet on Qacalisle Island was organized by Darson .
It was originally meant for Pierre to be Luellas head bodyguard .
However , its obvious hes not ready yet and will need significant training .
Whether or not hell ever be up to the task , only time will tell .
In the meantime the invited guests are arriving and the hanger is troceeding as planned 2/4 Warrior +8 Pearls For the event , Darson has invited the Spartine Warrior to perform on Qacalisle Island .
Luellas eyes widened in surprise .
Darson Dale invited the top ten warriors from the Spartine Warrior to Qacalisle Island ? Thats incredible ! I remember the top warrior from last years Spartine Warrior Martial Tournament was Nestor .
Is he coming ? Felix nodded .
Yes , hes on the list Darson gave me .
The Spartine Warrior , based in Ugosea and the South Panacea Ocean , was a legendary group of martial artists .
They were similar to the martial arts families in the East .
Each year , the Pacific Heroes League held a tournament to choose the top ten warriors .
Being named the top warrior was the highest honor in their world .
It represented unparalleled bravery , unshakable determination , and invincible strength .
These warriors possessed skills far beyond that of ordinary fighters .
In Ugosea and the South Panacea Ocean , they enjoyed tremendous prestige .
Felix mentioned that several reclusive noble families from the South Panacea Ocean would also be attending .
Among them , the Cafferey siblings ranked first had close connections with Luella .
They were all former classmates of hers from Ugonlands elite noble school .
Leilanis older brother , Teagan , had been a Seven Star Warrior at the Spartine Warrior training camp .
The Spartine Warrior was divided into three levels .
The top ten warriors made up the first level .
The second level included rankings from One Star Warrior to Nine Star Warrior .
Nine Star Warriors were eligible to compete in the annual Spartine Warrior Tournament for the top ten spots .
The third level was for apprentices , just beginning their training .
Robin listened with a small smile .
He was well aware of the Spartine Warriors power and influence .
In its prime , even the most formidable forces in the World of Darkness dared not challenge them .
Though they had weakened in recent years , they still remained a force to be reckoned with .
Any faction considering a confrontation would have to carefully weigh the consequences .
Felixs invitation of these legendary warriors seemed to have a deeper meaning .
