The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Anthony Neville
Years ago, a fierce conflict erupted among the martial arts families of Southeast Aurientia and Draconia, all vying for precious cultivation resources.

The Nevilles, who had just begun to rise among the ranks of these powerful families, were drawn into the battle.

Many of the Nevilles' strongest warriors fell in this brutal struggle for resources.

Other martial arts families in the Southeast Aurientia region had long coveted the Nevilles' cultivation sanctuary.

With the Nevilles gradually weakening in the conflict, dozens of martial arts families silently reached a common goal.

They united with the intent to annihilate the Nevilles and seize control of the rich resources within Draconia.

This alliance was a threat to the total destruction of the Nevilles.

In the face of a challenge from a dozen martial arts family experts, the patriarch, Tristan Neville, retreated to the doorway of the family's cultivation sanctuary.

He dismissed all family members and disciples, vowing to defend the sanctuary with his life.

At that time, Anthony was just a guard assigned to watch over the sanctuary.

His once-peaceful life of cultivation was thrown into chaos by the sudden disaster, propelling him into the heart of a fierce storm.

Refusing to abandon the sanctuary, Anthony fought with all his strength alongside Tristan.

In their final moments, he and Tristan activated the sanctuary's defense mechanisms, eliminating the intruders and securing the Nevilles' invaluable resource.

From that day on, Anthony's name became legendary within the martial arts families.

His presence has kept the Nevilles safe and prosperous for decades, with none daring to challenge them lightly.

Anthony became Tristan's most trusted confidant, holding a position of utmost respect within the Nevilles.

Anthony's eyes flared with fury when he entered the Rosewood Hotel's lobby and saw Jacob's predicament.

Although Jacob was only a minor member of the family, and not one worthy of much regard, the fact that someone dared to strike a Neville at the auction they hosted was a blatant insult.

Regardless of right or wrong, anyone who publicly defied the Nevilles needed to face the consequences.

Anthony looked at Robin.

Soon, a sense of familiarity stirred within him, but he couldn't immediately place where he'd seen him before.

"Get up!" Anthony glared at Jacob, his voice seething with anger. "You've disgraced the Nevilles!"

"Mr. Anthony, I ... I can't move!" Jacob stammered, sweat pouring down his face as he struggled to stand.

Anthony frowned as he examined Robin more closely, there was a glint of surprise flickering in his eyes. "Jacob, tell me, what happened here?"

Jacob pointed to Robin hatefully. "Mr. Anthony, this man here tried to enter the auction with a counterfeit invitation. I threw it in the trash, and then ... "

"A counterfeit invitation?" Anthony's frown deepened.

This was the first time he'd heard of anyone daring to forge an invitation to Nevilles' auction.

Just then, Liam pushed through the crowd and hurried toward Anthony. "Mr. Anthony, it's an honor to meet you," he greeted respectfully.

Anthony gave him an impassive glance. "And who might you be?"

"Mr. Anthony, I'm Liam, the eldest son of Perry Hamilton from Universal Group," Liam replied with a look of smug superiority.

"Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Anthony. It's a privilege to finally meet a legend of the martial arts world in person!"

Anthony gave a dismissive nod.

Sensing Anthony's lack of interest, Liam hesitated, then continued with a sycophantic tone, "Mr. Anthony, I bear some responsibility for today's events.

"I was the one who discovered this man using a fake invitation and intervened in time.

"This man was outrageously arrogant and provoked Mr. Jacob.

"He even dared to claim that the patriarch of the Nevilles would show him respect if he were here."

Anthony's entire body tensed up and a wave of terrifying energy radiated from him.

The people from martial arts families instinctively took several steps back.

They understood that Robin's actions had thoroughly enraged Anthony, the Nevilles' most formidable warrior.

It was unlikely Robin would leave here alive.

Everyone had heard the tales of Anthony's prowess, but few had ever witnessed his power firsthand.

Now, a mere thought from him released a deadly aura that filled the room.

The crowd looked at Robin with mocking eyes.

<i>He brought it upon himself by challenging the Nevilles—a powerhouse among martial arts families.</i>

Liam stole a triumphant glance at Robin, feeling pleased.

<i>Serves you right to oppose me at every turn! Today, I'll have the Nevilles deal with you for good.</i>

Alice snickered and spoke up suddenly, "Robin, looks like you're in trouble now. You were so bold, claiming that Madam Mavis herself sent you an invitation. Just how big of an ego do you have to make such a ridiculous claim?"

Anthony's gaze sharpened and he studied Robin more intently.

Vera quickly intervened, trying to silence Alice. "Alice, what are you doing? Are you deliberately fanning the flames to push Robin into danger?"

Alice scoffed, "How is this my fault? Robin is the one who didn't know his limits! Did he really think he could get away from the Nevilles with such reckless nonsense?

"He has to pay the price for attacking Mr. Jacob!"
