The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1094

Chapter 1094 Killing the Drakebane Over International Waters
Eira held the treasured blade tightly, her gaze wary as she looked at the man before her.

She knew him.

Three months ago, he had come looking for her at the Sakuran Restaurant.

Back then, he had asked about her grandfather and the Blossomfall Blade.

In his letter yesterday, her grandfather had told her that there was a hidden secret within the blade's hilt—one that she should only open after leaving Sakurania.

"Mr. Gulliver, I'm sorry!" Eira bowed slightly.

"This is the Denvers' legacy and honor, as well as a keepsake from my grandfather. I can't give it to you. My apologies."

Cartref's expression darkened.

"Ms. Eira, while this blade may be the Denvers' legacy, the Emperor has already declared it a national treasure. If you refuse to hand it over, you must remain within Sakurania."

"Oh, yeah? And who the h*ll do you think you are? Get lost!" Robin pulled Eira behind him.

Cartref and several members of Spiritrest Sanctuary reached for their blades, but Cary immediately shouted, "Stop! What do you think you're doing? Stand down at once!

"Cartref, I'm warning you, this is Sunria Metropolitan Police Department jurisdiction. If you dare threaten Mr. Ramsey or Ms. Eira in any way, the department will take action!"

In an instant, 30 Metropolitan Police officers raised their guns, aiming directly at Cartref and his group.

Cartref let out a cold snort. "Cary, the Blossomfall Blade is the supreme national treasure of Sakurania. How can we allow it to fall into someone else's hands? If Ms. Eira takes it out of Sakurania, it would be a disgrace to us all!"

Cary's voice was firm, "Cartref, trying to fuel hatred won't work on me. I'm warning you, if Spiritrest Sanctuary oversteps its bounds, it could bring disaster upon Sakurania!

"If that happens, the Emperor will have no choice but to revoke Spiritrest Sanctuary's right to maintain an independent armed force. Back off immediately! Otherwise, the Sunria Metropolitan Police Department will treat this as armed resistance and take you down on the spot!"

Thirty Metropolitan Police Department officers immediately loaded their guns.

Cartref and his group had no choice but to step back.

Cary shook his head before turning to Robin and Eira, bowing deeply. "Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Eira, allow me to personally lead the Royal Guard to escort you safely out of here."

Daphne leaned in and whispered to Robin, "Cartref is the great-grandson of Bryon Gulliver, the military god worshipped by Spiritrest Sanctuary. That Bryon was the one who placed the Black Serpent Soul-Eating Curse on me! I suspect they ... "

Robin nodded. "I understand. We'll talk about this later."

...

In the Outer Hall of the First Chamber at Spiritrest Sanctuary, nestled in the southernmost region of Sakurania Neuno, a 70-year-old man stood motionless before a sacred statue, his expression unreadable.

This man was Windsor Rivers, former head of the Rivers family and older brother to Sheldon.

Twenty years ago, he had entrusted the family's leadership to his younger brother, retreated to Spiritrest Sanctuary to practice, and had never left.

"Mr. Rivers, Cartref sent a message." A Spiritrest Sanctuary external affairs messenger strode swiftly into the First Chamber.

Windsor slowly turned around. "Speak. What happened?"

"Master Elijah was defeated, and the blade is now in Eira's hands.

"Ms. Eira is leaving Sakurania with Drakebane. Cary is personally leading the Royal Guard to escort them, and Cartref failed to retain the blade."

Windsor nodded. "I see."

After the external affairs messenger left, a tall man—standing about 6'3"—emerged from the back hall.
