The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234 Security Bureau Division Seven
Talia shot Vera a sharp look, silencing her with just a glare. She turned her icy gaze to Robin and commanded, "Come with us!"

Tobias and another detective, Dustin, moved instantly, positioning themselves on either side of Robin.

Vera's laughter abruptly died.

She looked at Talia and the two men, sensing they weren't bluffing, and they seemed ready to act against Robin. "W-What are you guys doing?"

Robin nudged Vera behind him, his expression unphased as he raised an eyebrow at Talia, who wore a cool, aloof look. "What's this about?" he asked.

Talia replied icily, "Yesterday, at the Brookhaven Martial Alliance's celebration at Harmonfield Hotel, you had a dispute with the Quinns. And overnight, the entire Brookhaven Alliance dissolved, and the Quinns vanished without a trace."

Her eyes narrowed. "We suspect you're closely related to these events. Come with us now for further investigation."

Vera's eyes widened, her shock visible.

Only now did she realize Talia and the two men didn't have the look of gangsters. They appeared more like public officials.

The entire Brookhaven Martial Alliance and the Quinns were gone in a single night?

According to the woman's words, Robin was the one responsible for the annihilation of the entire Brookhaven Martial Alliance and the Quinns.

Caught off guard, Vera's gaze shifted to Robin's imposing figure. Her heart raced.

Who is this man? He's able to take down an entire martial alliance overnight!

If that were true, he must be incredibly powerful!

Alice and Zachary had also frozen in place. Now they were noticing Talia, Tobias, and Dustin.

From the way they carried themselves, these three were likely law enforcement agents from some official department.

It was clear they came after Robin because of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance yesterday.

They must have evidence of Robin's crime in their hands.

A slight smirk crossed Alice's lips.

She stepped forward, her tone dripping with mockery. "True, he's Robin Ramsey. I was at Harmonfield Hotel yesterday too. He had a confrontation with the Brookhaven Martial Alliance ... "

"Alice! What are you talking about?" Vera intervened.

Alice shot her a cold, mocking smile. "Vera, don't cover for him. Do you know how serious the crime Robin's do if the Brookhaven Martial Alliance is really ... gone?"

"What are you arguing about?" Talia snapped, cutting them both off with a withering look. "Did I ask you to speak? Silence!"

She turned back to Robin, her voice steely. "Let's go. We've verified everything that happened yesterday at the celebration. There's no question. You're involved in their disappearance."

Robin scoffed, unimpressed. "Who do you think you are? Get out of my way."

Talia was momentarily taken aback.

In her two years on the job, this was the first time Talia had encountered someone like Robin.

Most suspects either resisted arrest in a fit of desperation or simply complied and came quietly for questioning.

Yet here was Robin, looking down on her as if he were the one in control, as if she were beneath him.

Her anger flared, and she jabbed a finger at Robin's retreating figure, barking, "Stop right there!"

Robin didn't even glance her way, striding toward the hall indifferently.

Frustrated, Tobias and Dustin stepped in front of him to block his path, while Talia slipped to his side, reaching to grab his shoulder. Yet her hand met only air as Robin sidestepped her easily.

Robin shot her a cold glance, his voice dripping with disdain. "Enough already. Move."

Taken aback, Talia's mind raced. Not only had he evaded her effortlessly, but his arrogance was infuriating.

Clenching her fist, she swung at him.

Robin shifted to the side before quickly extending his right foot.

Her punch hit nothing but empty space as she stumbled over his outstretched foot, barely managing to catch her balance after several steps.

Flushed with anger, she pointed to Tobias and Dustin, commanding, "Arrest him!"

The two detectives reached for their guns, but before they could draw, a commanding voice called out from behind, "Hold it! Just who do you think you are?"

Turning, they saw Jack, accompanied by two younger men, striding toward them.

Tobias and Dustin froze, subconsciously releasing their grip on their weapons as they took in Jack's imposing presence. His dignified authority was undeniable.

However, Talia was far from ready to back down.

Humiliated by her slip-up in front of Robin and now confronted by new interference, her temper flared even more.

She pointed furiously at Jack and his companions. "Who are you? Stand down! We're in the middle of official duties!"

Before she could finish, the two men with Jack stepped forward, positioning themselves protectively in front of him.

Their stance only stoked her anger further.

With an exasperated huff, she pulled out her ID, thrusting it at them. "Do you see this?" she demanded, holding it up for emphasis. "This is my ID! Interfere with my work again, and I'll have all of you detained!"

The two men glanced at her ID without so much as a twitch of respect, standing firm, unyielding.

Her irritation intensified, and she raised her voice again, "Do you even understand what this ID represents? Stand aside, or I'll arrest you, too!"

One of Jack's men spoke coolly, "Mr. Grayson said you're not allowed to arrest him."

Talia glanced at Jack with a derisive snort. "Since when is there anyone the Security Bureau Seven's Investigation Division can't arrest? Was this just because he's a corporate worker?"

She motioned to Tobias and Dustin, "Do it!"

"You ... you j*rk!" Talia was nearly beside herself with rage, stepping right into his path, her voice shaking with fury.

Robin shook his head, feigning seriousness. "Resorting to insults now? How about this? You're a j*rk. You and your whole family are j*rks too."

"You—ugh!" Talia looked like she was about to explode.

She pointed at him, ready to unleash a tirade of curses, but the words died on her lips.

She could tell Robin was fully prepared to go head-to-head in an insult match, and something told her he'd probably outmatch her.

Fine! She huffed, deciding it wasn't worth sinking to his level.

I'll just wait for my chance to catch him and give him the punishment he deserves.

Watching her face go red, Jack laughed out loud. "Hahaha ... "

Furious, Talia whirled on him, pointing. "What are you laughing at, old man?"

Jack's two guards stepped forward, ready to intercept her, but Jack chuckled and waved them back. "No, no, let them be. Let them leave."

As Talia and her two agents brushed past, Alice, trying to be helpful, piped up, "Miss, yesterday at the Brookhaven Martial Alliance event, Robin fought with the Quinns. There were plenty of witnesses ... "

Talia stopped, gave Alice a piercing look, and jabbed a finger in her direction. "What's your point? Get out of my way!"

Taken aback, Alice immediately stepped aside, intimidated by Talia's intense glare.

She glanced at Robin, who had just reached Jack.

Robin gave Jack a friendly clap on the shoulder. "So, old man, you saved me back there? Guess I owe you a meal, huh?"

Jack's smile broadened, about to accept, when Robin's next words wiped the smile clean off his face.

"Just kidding, old man. Not a chance. See ya." Robin waved him off dismissively.

Vera was taken aback for a moment, looked at Jack with a confused face, and laughed. "Hahaha ... "

She followed Robin forward. "Thanks for the help, though! I'll invite you to dinner another day." She waved cheerfully as she and Robin walked away.

Jack shook his head with a chuckle as he watched them leave.

His two guards exchanged frustrated glances, ready to go after Robin, but he stopped them. "Let's go."

Meanwhile, Robin and Vera had just arrived at the plaza outside the Eastside Development Group. From a distance, they spotted Rosalie struggling against a short, dark-skinned man in his forties who was gripping her arm tightly.

Nearby, an older man in his fifties stood watching.

"Let go of me!" Rosalie shouted, struggling to break free.

Vera nudged Robin. "Look, isn't that Rosalie? She's in trouble. Let's go check it out."
