The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 232 Bloodshed at Spiral Heights
From a distance, Jason observed his grandfather and sister in a dire situation, struggling to maintain their footing and moving unsteadily.
Robin's lips curled slightly as he moved closer, saying, "Don't move!"
Before Jason could respond, a shadow darted through the chilly night rain, creating a swirling mist of droplets.
Ronald unleashed all his strength in a powerful palm strike, believing he could swiftly eliminate Tristan's granddaughter.
Yet, this palm strike appeared to collide with an unbreakable barrier.
To his surprise, Robin had inexplicably positioned himself in front of him.
Suddenly, Ronald experienced a sharp pain radiating from his palm throughout his body.
Every meridian in his body snapped with a series of cracking sounds.
After a brief moment of shock, the intense force of the palm sent him flying backward over 30 feet.
Ronald clutched his chest in disbelief.
He stumbled several steps back, gazing ahead with a look of hopelessness.
In the chilly winds and rain at Spiral Heights, a black umbrella was the last thing he saw from afar.
At that moment, Jane snapped out of her daze and looked up in awe at the towering figure standing before her. "Did you rescue me and Grandpa?" she asked.
Robin paid her no attention and instead walked steadily toward Ronald. "You owe me 20 billion!" he declared.
Fear flashed across Ronald's face as he took a step back, drawing a deep breath to endure the searing pain ravaging his body. "Walter, you traitor, you've deceived me! Isn't the Phoenix Vanguard going to act?" he bellowed.
Before he could finish, his legs buckled under the weight pressing down on him, and with a heavy thud, he collapsed to his knees.
"I'm asking you—where's my 20 billion?!" Robin demanded.
Ronald's gaze drifted to the large black umbrella looming in front of him.
Not far off, the Four Heavenly Kings caught sight of Robin closing in on Ronald. With a desperate cry, they charged at Robin from four sides, prepared to make a final assault.
Rowan threw a punch, attempting to halt the advance of the Four Heavenly Kings, yet their combined strength forced him to stagger back several steps.
Watching Rowan struggle to stay steady, Robin's voice cut through the air, "Keep a grip on that umbrella!"
In the blink of an eye, a flash of white light appeared before the Four Heavenly Kings, followed by an icy sting at their throats.
A metallic taste filled their mouths as blood surged forth!
Clutching their throbbing necks in shock, they stared in terror at the massive black umbrella before them, whispering, "Divine Drakebane!"
One by one, their powerful bodies collapsed onto the rain-soaked road of Spiral Heights, sending a spray of crimson into the air.
The sight left everyone around in stunned silence.
Amidst the chilling wind and rain, a brilliant golden light shot skyward.
The golden dragon eagerly drained the blood from the Four Heavenly Kings' necks, leaving their powerful forms as withered husks in an instant.
In his final moments, Ronald finally glimpsed the fabled Divine Drakebane!
He had seen a sight like this decades earlier.
The only difference was, back then, he had been 300 feet away.
Now, it was close enough to touch!
In that instant, regret overwhelmed him. He hadn't been able to warn Sam, who had allied himself with the Dark Messenger and joined the Dark Night Alliance.
To warn him, never to provoke the wrath of Lord Drakebane!
He pleaded, "Lord Drakebane, I was stupid! I let myself be swayed by Phoenix Vanguard's false promises, which has brought me to this point. If someday my son ... "
"There are no 'ifs' here! Hand over the 20 billion you owe me now!"
With a defeated expression, Ronald shakily extended his bank card to Robin. "Lord Drakebane, I beg you—should you cross paths with my son, show him mercy."
Rowan took the bank card in his hand.
A flash of white light flickered, and Ronald dropped to the ground with a thud.
The Seven Evils from Phoenix Vanguard, making their way into the valley, abruptly halted.
It was clear that the sight before them had left them stunned.
They had once regretted missing Phoenix Vanguard's previous catastrophe.
They had always doubted the existence of the legendary Divine Drakebane.
In their opinion, had they been present during that time, Phoenix Vanguard would have avoided such disgrace.
However, witnessing the horrific deaths of the Four Heavenly Kings and Ronald at this moment, the Seven Evils felt their confidence crumble instantly.
Their hands gripping the wooden knives started to shake uncontrollably.
Since stepping into this brutal martial society, the Seven Evils had never encountered such overwhelming terror!
Though they had witnessed countless slaughters and different ways of killing, they had never seen movements as quick as this.
Even more surprisingly, the dull short dagger in Robin's grasp was drawing in the victims' blood!
In that instant, a flicker of hesitation crossed the minds of the Seven Evils.
Yet they dismissed it as unthinkable.
Taking a deep breath, they prepared themselves for an assault.
Noticing the Seven Evils' intent to strike, Rowan tightened his fists, eager for the confrontation.
He then turned his gaze toward Robin, ready to confront them.
Robin replied coolly, "You can't take them on; just hold onto your umbrella!"
"Understood, Mr. Ramsey," Rowan said, glancing up at the Seven Evils.
To him, they had ceased to be the seven greatest masters of martial arts and were instead just seven lifeless bodies.
The Seven Evils of Phoenix Vanguard couldn't help but let out a peculiar laugh.
Positioned roughly 40 feet from Robin, they swiftly arranged themselves into the Seven Star Formation.
Robin simply shook his head, muttering, "What a useless formation!"
Before Phoenix Vanguard could make their move against him, a chilling light caught their attention, and the image of the Four Heavenly Kings' deaths returned vividly.
It was clear that Robin had no regard for him at all.
Essentially, he wasn't even important enough to be considered a target for Divine Drakebane.
Just then, Jane, having recovered from her shock, pleaded with Robin as he was about to get into his car, "Lord Drakebane, I wish to become your disciple!"
Tristan and Anthony were taken aback by Jane's statement.
They had not anticipated her boldness in making such a claim.
Tristan quickly scolded her, saying, "Jane, don't be silly! You're not qualified to be Lord Drakebane's disciple."
Undeterred, Jane lifted her chin defiantly and insisted, "I don't care! I need to be his disciple and learn from him!" With that, she bowed and declared, "Master, please accept my respect!"
Robin halted and gradually pivoted to face her.
Noticing the excitement in Jane's eyes, a faint smile crossed his face as he made his way into the Hummer off-road vehicle.
With the engine roaring to life, the Hummer vanished down the twisting mountain path of Spiral Heights beneath the dark sky, shortly after the Nevilles departed.
A group of men dressed in black arrived at the scene in no time, efficiently erasing all evidence of the fight on Spiral Heights.
The Spiral Heights, drenched by the frigid rain, became quiet as if nothing had ever occurred there.
Walter, with one arm severed, hid in the valley for almost two hours before he found the courage to crawl out.
He realized that if Robin decided not to spare him, he would end up a lost soul in this valley tonight.
Yet, in two days ... it seemed that the Phoenix Vanguard would once again be soaked in blood.
As Robin eliminated the members of the Phoenix Vanguard and the warriors from the Brookhaven Martial Alliance, a group of individuals on Dawnspire Mountain road pursued the Hummer off-road vehicle, reaching the mountain's edge.
The Hummer off-road vehicle approached the entrance of the villa area, abruptly turned around, and halted in the middle of the mountain road.
The door swung open, revealing a slender figure stepping out of the vehicle.
A few figures dressed in black stared at her in shock from afar.
They hadn't expected the driver of the Hummer to be a woman, leaving them completely surprised.
They were certain they had been following Robin—how had things ended up like this?
Rita glanced around, then opened every door of the vehicle, almost as if purposely revealing the car's interior.
After a moment, she climbed back in and drove off.
While en route, she sent a message, "Mr. Ramsey, I've carried out the task as instructed and am heading back now."
Robin replied with a simple "OK" emoticon.
Rita put away her phone, a faint smile curving on her lips.
The Hummer's engine growled, cutting through the chilly night rain along the winding roads of Dawnspire Mountain.
Five minutes later, within the concealed command center at Dragon Palace in Westhill.
Jack reviewed the update from Dawnspire Mountain, "Tonight's tracking mission yielded no results."
Examining the thorough report, Jack let out a wry laugh and murmured, "I knew it—if you managed to locate him, then he's not the man I'm after!"
