The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Luella Aldridge 

By now, it was already 5:30 PM. and most banks had long since closed. 

Only the Harmonfield branch of SunEast Development Bank remained open, with the staff in position, waiting for Robin’s massive 3.8 billion cash delivery to arrive for processing. 

Yet, the staff–unhappy about the unexpected overtime were growing impatient. 

“It’s past closing time,” one muttered, “Is he really bringing in 3.8 billion cash?” 

“Who knows another replied. He’s just sitting there, not moving.” 

“Do you really believe it? That’s 3.8 billion cash! That’s a ridiculous amount,” a third employee scoffed. “Even Brookhaven’s wealthiest man, Carson, couldn’t pull that together so quickly.” 

“Did you notice.how young he looks?” added someone else. “Does he seem like a guy who could bring that kind of cash?” 

“Why did Mr. Stone have us work late for this? Surely we could’ve refused such an outrageous request,” someone complained. 

“No, we couldn’t. Big transactions require special VIP treatment. Mr. Stone has no choice. 

“If that guy complains, we’ll all be in trouble,” added another, sighing. 

“Those people just know how to complain. What if he doesn’t come through tonight?” 

“I heard he swore to Mr. Stone–if he couldn’t deliver the money, he’d apologize to each of us. But honestly, what good would that even do?” 

“I have important things to do tonight. I planned to meet my former classmates at the bar, but now I can’t go because of this. 

“It’s so boring that I can’t do anything. It’s annoying!” 

The grumbles continued, each voice tinged with annoyance as the staff ate the fancy dinners the bank had provided to ease the overtime. 

Still, their resentment simmered as they eyed Robin in the lobby. 

Meanwhile, Robin had been on calls with Shirley, Daphine, and Rygar, as well as Carson, who reassured him that dinner and money were on their way. 

Robin had initially planned to call in a favor from Old Fred’s wives to arrange for an airlift of cash. But with more than enough already accounted for, he decided it was unnecessary. 

Just then, his phone buzzed with a WhatsApp message from Luella Aldridge, granddaughter of Felix Aldridge, head of the Aldridge family. Robin raised an eyebrow as he read her message. 

“Robin, I’m in Draconia, Just learned you’re in Harmofield. I’m here on business and inspecting the new.

contract between SunEast Bank and our Aurientia Affairs Department. 

“Send your location–I can be there in 30 minutes” 

He couldn’t believe the coincidence. 

Three years ago, during a covert mission, Robin had saved both Felix and Luella from Fricana mercenaries, making him one of the most respected individuals in the Aldridges. 

Even foreign dignitaries didn’t enjoy such a status with the Aldridges,

Still, he wondered how she had known he was here–no doubt Old Fred’s third wife had leaked the information, likely in hopes of using the Aldridge family’s network to help launch her cosmetics business.. He’d have words for her when he got back. 

Robin knew that even if he didn’t tell Luella his location, she could still find him in seconds with the vast information network of the Aldridges. 

He had no choice but to send his location to her. 

A new thought struck him as he noticed her mention of the SunEast Bank contract. Perhaps the fate of SupEast was scaled after all. 

Around this time, Layla, head of the Bank Credit Deparment, received a call from her husband, Jett. 

“Layla, are you still at work? You were supposed to come home early. 

“I’m headed to the airport to pick up Leonardo, so I’ll pick you up in front of the bank so we can head to dinner together. 

“Oh, by the way–what’s going on over there that you’re working overtime? 

“It seems like you’ve never had to work overtime since joining the bank.” 

Layla glanced irritably at Robin sitting in the lobby. “Just thinking about it annoys me! Today, a guy walked in saying he wanted to repay a loan with 3.8 billion in cash.” 

“What? 3.8 billion in cash? That’s ridiculous! Who even requires that much cash?” Jett exclaimed, surprised. “And could he even gather that much on such short notice?” 

Layla let out a sarcastic laugh. “He claims it’s to pay back the loan for Infinity Tower in Southvale.”
