Chapter 168 The Ungrateful Ìngrate
Finished
Dennis’s expression shifted unpredictably “You… I know you’re strong. I have no intention of going against you. We can stay out of each other’s business. Just don’t interfere today. Once I move up in rank, if there’s ever a conflict between our base and your side again, I can speak up for you!”
As if to emphasize his point, he added, “You know, since we’re both in Klam, we’re bound to run into each other again someday. One more friend means one less problem!”
Robin seemed to be convinced.
She nodded thoughtfully. “You’re right. I really should have one more friend.”
Before Dennis could show any joy, she continued, “So I’ve decided to be friends with him.”
She pointed at Wayne.
Both men froze.
Dennis flew into a rage. “You!”
He had barely gotten the word out when Robin called, “Cotton!”
With a powerful flap of his wings, Cotton struck. Dennis let out a scream as he was sent flying sideways, slamming hard into the wall, his vision spinning from the impact.
“You…”
Every bone in his body seemed to ache. He glared viciously at Robin, finally completely enraged. “Why? It’s one thing that everyone else favors Wayne, but why are you siding with him, too?
‘You didn’t even know him before! Wayne, are you really this determined to ruin me? Even a stranger is helping you now!”
Wayne was stunned by what had just happened. He opened his mouth, not expecting Robin to help hum so decisively.
‘A stranger?”
Robin gave a faint, meaningful smile. “Who said we didn’t know each other before?”
They had met in her previous life.
Not closely, but they had crossed paths.
In that past life, at the Redwood Military Base, Wayne had been something of a legend
He was in redibly strong. He almost never failed a mission and was the commander’s most trusted
weapon.
No matter how difficult the task, as long as he was sent, it always got done

But later, he died on some mission, and no one knew exactly which.
His only flaw was that he was cold.
O
Fished
He had no friends and refused to let anyone get close, like a lone wolf who disdained companionship.
He had always been difficult to approach. By the time Robin learned about him back then, that was already his reputation. But today, she finally understood why Wayne had become that kind of person.
So it had all started with betrayal by a friend…
Robin stepped forward and untied the ropes binding him. Wayne’s face was full of gratitude. “Thank you… thank you so much…”
“No need to thank me.”
Robin spoke lightly. “If you’re going to thank someone, thank yourself.”
She wasn’t some saint who helped anyone in trouble on sight.
If she hadn’t seen value in Wayne, she wouldn’t have said a single extra word today.
Wayne didn’t quite understand what she meant, but there was no time to think too deeply about it. “No natter what, I still have to thank you. If you don’t mind, I’m willing to serve you for the rest of my life. I’ll do whatever you ask.”
Of course.”
Robin replied as if it were only natural.
Wayne paused for a moment.
Not even a hint of politeness?
But the thought only lingered briefly before disappearing.
Her straightforwardness actually made things simpler for him.
Alright. You’re free now.”
Robin brushed off her sleeve. “That one’s yours to deal with.”
“What?”
