The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 227 Eliminate Robin

Alice had come hoping to impress the Quinns, but instead, Kyler had humiliated her. She was furious.

This whole mess was because of Robin.

If that jerk hadn't disrupted the celebration, Kyler wouldn't have lost his temper, and she wouldn't have been kicked out of the hotel by the president of the Martial Alliance. She could have made some valuable connections among Brookhaven's elite.

Yesterday, she had gone to great lengths to get two invitations to this high-profile event from Liam, but things had turned out like this. She'd planned to expand her social network and even hand out invitations for her engagement to Zachary next week. Now, with the Brookhaven Martial Alliance celebration ruined, that plan had completely fallen apart.

Standing outside the hotel entrance, Alice grew angrier with each passing thought.

"What's wrong, Alice? Let's go," Zachary said, noticing her scowl and guiding her toward the parking lot.

Alice sighed. "Zachary, where are the engagement invitations?"

Zachary pointed at his assistant behind them. "They're in the bag. Since the event didn't happen, we couldn't hand them out."

"It's all Robin's fault!" Alice seethed, glaring at Robin, who was a short distance ahead.

When she spotted Daphne walking beside him, her eyes lit up. "Zachary, look! There's Ms. West! Let's go give her an invitation."

Zachary snapped his fingers, excited. "Oh, I nearly forgot about that."

"Alice, we should give Robin one too. How could our engagement party be complete without him? Hahaha..."

Alice chuckled along with him. "Great idea, Zachary! I want him there to see the grandeur of our engagement."

"That day, you have to make it extravagant!" Alice added, her eyes glinting. "I want Robin to feel crushed, to know he could never have someone like me. Let him see that I'm someone he'll never possess! Hahaha..."

Zachary looked toward Robin with a mocking smile. "I can already picture Robin's face when he sees you as my bride utterly devastated."

Alice sneered. "Then he'll finally understand that he and we aren't even from the same world. Let's go; we should catch up to them."

Zachary and Alice picked up the pace.

"Ms. West, hello!" Alice greeted Daphne respectfully as she and Robin stopped in front of them.

Daphne gave Alice a cold glance, saying nothing.

Undeterred, Alice flattered her. "Ms. West, I've always admired you-you're my absolute role model."

"Oh?" Daphne raised her brow indifferently. "Plenty of people admire me. What do you want?"

Alice quickly pulled out the engagement invitation, offering it with both hands.

"Ms. West, this weekend-on the day after Old Mr. Wright's banquet-Zachary and I are having our engagement ceremony. We'd be honored if you could attend."

Daphne glanced at the invitation Alice was holding out but didn't take it. "I won't be attending."

"Move," Rita said, shoving Alice aside as she followed Daphne.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Alice stood there, embarrassed.

Turning to Vera, she forced a smile. "Vera, it's fortunate that you're here today. I'll give you your invitation now instead of delivering it later."

Alice glanced up at Robin with a playful smirk. "Robin, I hadn't planned to tell you this, but since you're here, let me give you an invitation. Come by and see me in my wedding dress."

"I don't have the time," Robin replied, brushing past Alice and Zachary on his way to the parking lot.

"Robin, stop right there!" Alice shouted at his back in frustration. "I know you're avoiding our engagement because it makes you uncomfortable to see me marrying Zachary!"

"We were nice enough to come give you an invitation so you could attend our engagement party. We're showing you a lot of respect, and this is how you act? Are you still bitter over me ending our engagement?" "You're so petty! Men like you, with no class, are beneath me!"

Vera let out a wry smile. "Alice, Robin never cared about your breakup in the first place."

"You're about to get married. Why are you still stuck on this? What's the point? Or are you not over Robin?"

Alice scoffed, sneering. "Why would I be hung up on a brute like him?"

"Vera, I can't believe you'd even suggest that. I'd never lower myself for a man like him-we're on completely different levels!"

Vera took a deep breath, clutching her coat tighter. "Fine, Alice, Zachary, I'll be going now. I'll see you on the day of your engagement celebration."

As Alice watched Vera leave, she noticed Vera was wrapped in Robin's coat.

Alice grabbed Vera's arm. "Vera, you and Robin seem close-do you have feelings for him?"

Vera paused, then, catching the irritation in Alice's gaze, nodded. "Yes, I do. Is that a problem?"

"Vera, seriously? How could you be interested in someone like Robin-"

Vera's expression turned ice-cold. "Alice, I won't let you talk about Robin like that! Apart from my mother, he's the one person who's always been there for me."

"In the past, I might have ignored your insults toward him. But from now on, remember this: I won't allow you to humiliate him again!"

With that, Vera pulled her arm free and rushed over to Robin, linking her arm with his affectionately.

Watching the two walk away together filled Alice with a strange sense of irritation.

She glared at their retreating figures, gritting her teeth. "Vera, sticking with Robin will only bring you regret!"

Just then, Anthony hurried out of the hotel lobby, Jason trailing behind him.

Jason's face was clean now, though some swelling and redness remained.

"Mr. Anthony, why are we rushing?" Jason asked, panting.

Anthony, glancing at Robin ahead, urged him on. "Come on, Jason. If we don't hurry, Mr. Ramsey might be gone by the time we get there."

Jason grumbled, annoyed. "What do we even need him for?"

"Just stay quiet, Jason, and catch up

with me. explain everything once we're there." Without another word, Anthony pulled Jason along, catching up to Robin just as he reached his car.

Robin was about to get in when Anthony called out, "Mr. Ramsey, please wait!"

Robin paused and turned around, watching Anthony approach. "What can I help you with?"

Anthony glanced at the people inside the car, then lowered his voice. "Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Tristan asked me to pass along a message: something has happened with Phoenix Vanguard." Robin raised an eyebrow. "You came all this way just to tell me that?"

Anthony hesitated for a moment. "Mr. Ramsey the Vice Dragon Leader of Phoenix Vanguard, Drogo, has placed Dragon Leader and Madam Mavis under house arrest. Rumor has it the Seven Evils of Phoenix Vanguard are on their way teHarmonfield, and they might be planning to target you."

Robin gave a cold smile. "Are you done?"

After a brief pause, Anthony nodded.

Robin got into his car. As he shut the door, Anthony stepped forward and added, "Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Tristan is already on his way and will arrive tonight." Robin closed the door and drove off.

Jason watched Robin's departure, visibly annoyed. "Mr. Anthony, Robin is so arrogant! With that attitude, why bother being polite to him? Could it be that... Anthony straightened up, his expression turning stern. "Jason, don't speak like that. Mr. Ramsey is not someone we can afford to provoke."

Jason scoffed. "What's so untouchable about him? I don't see anything special."

"Mr. Anthony, you mentioned that Phoenix Vanguard has undergone a major upheaval, with the Vice Dragon Leader imprisoning Mavis and the others. Why isn't Grandpa heading to Phoenix Vanguard to help Mavis? What's he doing here in Harmonfield instead?"

"And why did you even bother informing Robin?"

Anthony shook his head. "Jason, Phoenix Vanguard has many skilled fighters. We wouldn't stand a chance against them with our strength."

"Drogo's move was well planned-he's already taken control of both the inner and outer sects of Phoenix Vanguard."

"The information I have says Drogo dispatched the Seven Evils of Phoenix Vanguard to Harmonfield. Their target is Robin."

"Master fighters from all Phoenix Vanguard branches have received the Dragon Token and are on their way to Harmonfield. Tonight, things will be extremely dangerous here." Jason's face paled. "Mr. Anthony, then why is Grandpa coming? Are we supposed to help Drogo eliminate Robin?" Anthony quickly cut him off. "Jason, don't say such things. Wait until Mr. Tristan arrives before jumping to conclusions." Jason, clearly shaken by the news, took a moment to gather himself.

"Mr. Anthony, Robin is around my age, yet Phoenix Vanguard is using such massive resources to hunt him down?" "What grudge does Phoenix Vanguard have against Robin that they would go to such lengths to track him across regions?"

Anthony sighed. "Jason, despite his young age, Mr. Ramsey's background is terrifying."

"I don't know the full story myself, but I do know that there isn't a single person in the world who dares to stand against him or the forces behind him."

"It's not just the Nevilles-even the most powerful families and sects worldwide wouldn't risk provoking him."

"Years ago, the Leader of Phoenix Vanguard followed the Dark Lord's advice and provoked the newly-emerged 'Drakebane.""

"Phoenix Vanguard was nearly wiped out overnight."

"Mr. Chapman immediately ordered that Phoenix Vanguard would forever submit to him, and all disciples were required to address him as their master."

"Anyone who defied this would face eternal pursuit from Phoenix Vanguard's enforcers-a hunt that wouldn't end until death."

"Now, Drogo has not only taken control of Mr. Chapman but has ordered Phoenix Vanguard disciples to eliminate Robin. This could spell the end of Phoenix Vanguard."

"This time, Mr. Tristan's arrival in Harmonfield is certain to bring major decisions. The Nevilles have already mobilized all their top fighters."
