The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184 Killing You Is Like Crushing a Bug
On the second floor of the Wright Mansion in the city government compound.

Martin was deeply immersed in a chess game with Jack, the two locked in a fierce battle that filled the room with tension.

After an intense game, Martin once again found himself in a hopelessly passive position.

He frowned, looking at the irreversible defeat in front of him, shook his head and said, "Jack, you never give me a break. Can't you let me win just once?"

Jack laughed. "You kept insisting that I shouldn't hold back. I'm just following your orders and playing ruthlessly.

"You can't go back on your word; it's just hypocritical!"

Martin chuckled. "You really never learn to adapt! Just wait until our chess master arrives in Harmonfield; then we'll see how tough you really are!"

"Grandpa, General Grayson, you're all here!" Freya exclaimed as she hurried in from outside.

Martin looked up at Freya and asked, "Have you delivered all the invitations for the banquet?"

Freya nodded. "I've basically delivered them to everyone on the list.

"Grandpa, I went to Robin's place to personally deliver his invitation today, but I ran into him on the way.

"At the time, he was having a conflict with Jamie from the Lynch family."

Martin furrowed his brow at this. "Is it still about that Qurgh movie star?"

Freya replied, "It's partly related to that. Jamie came to Harmonfield today with Lewis Lynch, the second butler of the Lynches."

"Lewis Lynch? What's that jerk doing in Harmonfield?" Martin raised an eyebrow. "Is he trying to cause trouble for Robin?"

"Yes, Grandpa," Freya said. "By the time I arrived, a confrontation had already begun, though no one had started throwing punches yet.

"Jamie had a bit of a spat with Vera Silva on the way, which might be related to issues between the Lynches and the Silvas.

"When Robin arrived, he sided with Ms. Silva and ended up in a heated argument with the Lynches.

"If I hadn't stepped in, Robin would have ended up fighting Lewis."

Jack asked, "So, did they actually fight?"

"No, I stopped them before it escalated. But Robin had five heavy trucks brought in and crushed three of the Lynches' Mercedes SUVs into scrap.

"I just got word that Lewis plans to take action against Robin tonight!"

A glimmer of excitement sparkled in Jack's eyes. "That's fantastic! It's a great opportunity!"

Freya was taken aback. "Mr. Grayson, what do you mean by that?"

Jack exchanged a glance with Martin and said with a smile, "You don't need to worry about that. Freya, arrange for your people to monitor Robin's every move and report to me at all times.

"One thing you must remember: do not alert Robin or Lewis. Your actions must remain completely discreet!"

"Yes, General!" Freya replied, though she hesitated, unable to grasp Jack's intentions.

She didn't understand why they needed to keep such a close watch on Robin.

Martin raised his hand. "Alright, Freya, you can take care of your duties now. General Grayson and I have some matters to discuss."

Freya paused at the door and turned back.

"General Grayson, should we continue investigating the bodies at Westhill Cemetery?"

Jack waved dismissively. "That matter has already been assigned to me, so there's no need for you to worry about it."

Once Freya left the room, Martin asked, "Jack, are you still suspecting that Robin is the person you're looking for?"

Jack nodded. "For years, Dragon Palace has never stopped investigating the events surrounding the Dragon Slayer, but we're still left in a fog of uncertainty.

"If we can't uncover the truth behind those past events, Dragon Palace will continue to bear this shame.

"It's also unfair to the war hero from Draconia!

"The recent murders of the two Sakurania warriors at Westhill Cemetery are likely the work of the Dragon Slayer's descendants or his successors.

"The methods used to kill those two Sakurania warriors are strikingly similar to the Dragon Slayer's way of killing."

A look of surprise flashed in Martin's eyes. "Are you suspecting that Robin might be the one who killed the Sakurania warriors?"

Jack nodded. "I'm only speculating. Robin's demeanor and approach to situations remind me too much of that man.

"I followed the Dragon Slayer for many years. While we didn't spend a lot of time together, I still got to know his style quite well."

Martin looked at Jack. "So your plan tonight is to see how Robin reacts when Lewis tries to kill him, right?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. If this situation confirms my suspicions, it would be my biggest breakthrough since coming to Harmonfield."

Martin frowned. "Jack, I need to ask. What if Robin isn't the person you think he is? I hope you'll ensure Robin's safety. Otherwise, I'll have to send someone to intervene!"

Jack was silent for a moment before replying. "Alright, I promise you! It's getting late, and I need to make some arrangements."

At 11 o'clock that night, Robin left Vera's place and drove back to Villa One at Dawnspire Mountain.

Shortly after departing from the city, he noticed a Toyota SUV following him at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Oddly enough, in addition to this vehicle, two other groups were shadowing him from a distance, maintaining a presence that was felt but not overly intrusive.

It seemed like it was going to be a lively night.

Robin drove while opening the message sent from the Dark Web intelligence.

It informed him that the Toyota SUV following him belonged to Lewis, the second butler of the Lynches, along with two of his bodyguards.

Additionally, a force of three intelligence operatives from Draconia's War Wolf Special Forces was involved.

Another group, consisting of about four individuals, was also tailing him.

So far, their identities remained unclear.

What was certain, however, was that this group of people were intelligence personnel from a secret organization of the Draconia military.

Robin found it strange that these two groups were tailing him.
