The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 15

The mood at the Violetcrest Club’s Riding and Shooting Center turned frosty. 

100 million dollars is no small amount. 

However, for the Gill Group, a well–established player in Hammanfield’s business sector, it shouldn’t be a significant obstacle. 

Isn’t Robin’s request a bit too arrogant? 

All eyes were on Zachary 

Given Zachary’s status among Harmonfield’s elite, he should have already slapped the 100 million dollars onto the table. 

Yet, instead… 

He didn’t do as the crowd expected. 

Zachary, whose face reddened with fury, could only paint at Robin, struggling for words. “H–how dare you!” 

Zachary was seething with a murderous rage. 

He had not anticipated being outdone by Robin once more, 

His plan had been to humiliate Robin thoroughly before Alice and Shirley with his superior riding and shooting skills. 

But this was the result! 

What made it even more humiliating was his inability to actually produce the 100 million. 

Robin pursed his lips. “What’s the matter? 

“Mr. Gill, you were the one who initiated the bet and agreed to the amount. 

“And now that you’ve lost, you’re hesitating to pay. 

“I suggested that you get down on the ground and bark three times to settle the debt, but you seem so reluctant. What’s that about? 

“Are you challenging the rules of the Violetcrest Club? 

He threw a sideways glance at Rita. 

Alice marched up to Robin, scolding him. “You’re so petty! Robin, do you think Mr. Gill is as financially struggling as you are? 

“With the Gill Group’s status in Harmonfield, 100 million is nothing to him. Don’t be so small–minded! “Do you really think Mr. Gill would do such a thing for 100 million? You’re not worthy of such a demand! 

“You’re so narrow–minded and intolerant; you’re disgusting!” 

She turned on her heel and said, “Mr. Gill, just pay him Someone like him, who’s never dealt with this much money, isn’t worth any more of our attention.” 

At that moment, Vera noticed something. 

Zachary’s hesitation clearly indicated the difficulty in raising the 100 million. 

Rumors had circulated that the Gill Group was facing financial difficulties; could they genuinely be unable to produce the sum? 

Looking at Zachary now, she noticed his legs were slightly shaking. 

Raymond glanced at Shirley, who was engrossed in her phone, then stepped forward. 

“Robin, don’t push things too far. It’s just a bet. Let’s exercise some restraint and avoid making matters worse.” 

Robin raised an eyebrow and gave a dismissive smile. 

“So, you’re saying this bet is insignificant? 

“Fine! As long as you admit you can’t settle the bet, I’ll consider it settled as per my earlier offer.” 

A group of high–society young men looked at Raymond with contempt. 

Attempting to back out of a bet was a serious offense in Harmonfield’s elite circles. 

Raymond, feeling the scornful gazes on him, snapped back, “When did I say we wouldn’t settle the bet?” 

“Small–minded! Zachary, call your dad right now and get the money for him. Stop dragging your feet!” 

Zachary thought bitterly, I can’t possibly come up with 100 million in cash on the spot! 

If I could, would I still be enduring this humiliation from Robin?! 

At this moment, he wished he could eliminate Robin entirely. 

But revealing the Gill Group’s current financial crisis was simply out of the question. 

Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be a matter of 100 million, but the future and destiny of the Gills.. 

Today was a crucial day for the Gills. 

If they could land the deal for the Eastvale Ecological Project, it would pull them out of their severe financial bind, where their cash flow had nearly dried up. 

Swallowing his pride, Zachary forced a calm tone. “Robin, 100 million means nothing to me. 

“Ms. Dunn can vouch for it. Given the Gills‘ influence in Harmonhield, there’s no way we’d ever default on that amount. 

Here’s the plan–by noon tomorrow, I’ll make sure that 100 million is transferred to whatever account you provide.” 

Alice and Raymond froze in disbelief. 

How could Zachary stoop to saying something so humiliating 

Vera, on the other hand, silently shook her head. 

Rumors about the Gill Group’s financial struggles seem to be true. 

Otherwise, Zachary wouldn’t be making such embarrassing excuses.
