The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

After Felix departed , the Aldridges private car continued on for another ten minutes before reaching the grand villa on Qacalisle Island , where the banquet was being held .

Robin and Luella had just stepped out of the car when Pierre followed closely behind them .

His father , Kolton , had stressed the importance of this event .

He believed it could significantly impact Luellas future and the Aldridges legacy .

Since Pierre had vowed to support Robin , he was assigned the role of his temporary bodyguard for the evening , ensuring his protection .

Pierre understood his fathers intentions .

Kolton wanted him to become an ally of Robin , though he had kept Robins true background a secret .

Based on what he had heard , Pierre suspected Robin was no ordinary person .

After all , anyone capable of commanding Felix to bow must be incredibly powerful , though Pierre had yet to witness it firsthand , causing him to be very reluctant to follow his fathers instructions .

Yet despite his reservations , Pierre could not refuse his fathers request , as Kolton had raised him with great care and high expectations , being a single father who had lost his wife too early in life .

Luella noticed Pierre following them and furrowed her brow .

Pierre , you really dont need to stick so close .

Pierre responded with respect , Ms.

Luella , Mr.

Ramsey Im here as your bodyguard for the evening .

Please dont mind me .

Luella smiled gently .

Pierre , this is my event .

Im fine without a bodyguard .

Besides , with Mr.

Ramsey by my side , I dont need anyone else .

Pierre stood his ground , remaining polite .

Please dont worry , Ms.

Luella .

Ill keep my distance and wont interrupt .

Noticing Pierres discomfort , Luella chuckled softly .

Pierre , theres no need to take it so seriously .

Mr.

Ramsey isnt going to hold it against you .

Hes not as rigid as you might think .

Pierre persisted .

Ive sworn to respect Mr.

Ramsey .

Im here to serve him .

Luella shrugged , conceding .

Alright , do as you wish .

But Pierre , if you could be less impulsive and vain , youd actually be a rather good person .

Pierre bowed in acknowledgment .

Yes , Ms.

Luella .

Ill reflect on that .

Seeing Pierres humility , Luella let the matter drop .

She linked arms with Robin as they headed toward the banquet hall .

Upon entering , a burst of laughter rang out from across the room.

Haha , Luella ! Its so wonderful to see you again ! A young woman in a stunning purple blue gown rushed toward them , her excitement evident .

It was Leilani Cafferey from the Caffereys , a prestigious family of 1 1/3 13:16 Sat , Jan 25 G.

Luella , you look incredible tonight ! Youre positively glowing ! Leilani exclaimed , giving Luella a warm hug and showering her with compliments .

Thank you , Leilani , Luella replied casually .

Your gown is dazzling as well .

If there were a global beauty contest , youd definitely take second place .

Second place ? Leilani blinked in mock surprise .

And who would take first ? Why , of course , its me ! Luella laughed , her radiant smile lighting up the room .

The two women , reunited after some time , shared a light hearted moment , catching the attention of everyone nearby .

Teagan stood by , admiring Luellas captivating smile .

He had been infatuated with her since their school days , though she had never shown interest in him .

Now that he had become a Seven Star Spartine Warrior , he was confident that she would see him differently .

However , his sisters chatter prevented him from seizing the opportunity to speak with Luella .

After their exchange , Leilani finally noticed Pierre standing nearby .

Captain Pierre ? What a surprise ! she exclaimed .

I heard you might join the Aldridges bodyguard team after retiring .

Looks like youre already starting your internship ? Pierre nodded politely but chose not to respond , standing in respectful silence .

Leilani smiled even more brightly .

Captain Pierre , its been a while ! Have you turned shy all of a sudden ? Pierre said nothing , maintaining his composed silence .

Realizing the conversation wasnt going anywhere , Leilani decided to move on .

Teagan , sensing an opportunity , stepped forward with perfect manners and offered his hand .

Luella , its great to see you .

Luella gave a polite nod but didnt take his hand .

Its a pleasure to see both you and Leilani as well .

At that moment , the music in the ballroom started to play .

Teagan , confident in his skills as a Seven Star Spartine Warrior , extended his hand again , smiling as he said , Ms.

Luella , may I have this dance ? He was certain that his reputation and dancing ability would make him the center of attention , and Luella would surely agree .

Just as Teagan awaited her response , Luella took a small step back .

Im sorry , Teagan .

I only dance with Mr.

Ramsey .

She glanced at Robin , who shrugged and said , I dont dance .

Id prefer to sit quietly for a while .

Alright , Ill join you , Luella immediately said , linking arms with Robin .

Teagan , Leilani , enjoy yourselves .

Mr.

Ramsey and I are heading to the VIP lounge for some red wine .

2/3 13:16 Sat , Jan 25G .

Pierre noticed the anger flashing in Teagans eyes and gave a cold , emotionless shrug .

Teagan , my advice to you dont provoke him .

Teagan , fuming with rage , retorted , Pierre , what do you mean by that ? Pierre shot him a cold stare .

I mean , if you want to avoid making a fool of yourself , go find your dance .

partner and leave Mr.

Ramsey alone .

Without another word , Pierre turned and followed Robin and Luella .

Teagan stood in the middle of the ballroom , watching their figures fade as his anger swelled .

He couldnt believe Luella had so openly rejected him , especially in front of everyone , all while flaunting her connection with the unfamiliar man by her side .

It was a public humiliation .

Everyone knew how long Teagan had been pursuing Luella , and now , he had been humiliated in front of all of them .

As the heir to the Caffereys , a leading family of South Panacea Ocean , this kind of disdain was unheard of .

After a brief internal battle , Teagan clenched his fists and shouted , Luella , stop right there ! His voice cut through the room , silencing the chatter .

Everyone turned to look at Teagan .

He pointed at Robin .

Come here .

I challenge you to a duel Spartine Warrior style ! 。 472 li
