Chapter 244 What Is She Up to Again?
Talia felt a surge of anger at Robin's words.
The agents who accompanied Talia here were equally infuriated.
Talia would have liked to show this arrogant man some sense if she weren't in uniform.
Taking a deep breath, Talia managed to calm herself.
She had received an order to investigate the incident involving the world's top assassins who were attempting to take out Robin.
Her main focus was to uncover Robin's true identity rather than ensuring his safety.
Deep down, she understood the gravity of the situation.
Faced with those elite killers, she and her team felt a gnawing sense of uncertainty.
She had no idea how many backup agents had been dispatched to assist her.
If they were entangled in this mess, forget about protecting Robin; if they were to confront these assassins, would she and her team even make it out alive?
"You all should leave now; we need to rest," Robin said, pulling Vera closer as he addressed the brooding Talia again.
"Is it appropriate for you to linger here at this hour?" he continued, his tone dismissive.
"Even if you're following orders, it doesn't give you the right to invade my personal space."
After a brief moment of panic, Sarah stood up, trying to defuse the situation. "Officers, Mr. Ramsey and Ms. Silva need their rest. Please leave," she urged.
Talia's anger flared again. "Robin, I know you're skilled, but how can you take on so many powerful assassins all by yourself? You're in the open, while these killers lurk in the shadows. No matter how well you prepare, there will always be a moment of vulnerability. Please cooperate with us if you want to stay safe."
Robin was not interested in continuing the conversation.
Without even lifting his head, he waved them off dismissively, signaling for them to leave.
The frustration of Talia's subordinates boiled over.
One of the lieutenants stepped forward and slammed his hand down on the coffee table, causing a cup to topple and shatter on the floor.
"You're unbearably arrogant!" he shouted.
"Do you have any idea how much you'll regret rejecting our protection?"
Robin raised an eyebrow and pointed at the lieutenant.
He instructed, "Clean up that mess. My cup costs 200 dollars. Pay up and get out."
"You sc*m!" The lieutenant trembled with anger.
Sarah quickly interjected, "Please calm down, officers. I'll take care of that.
"You should comply with Mr. Ramsey's request, pay up, and leave. Mr. Ramsey needs to rest," she reiterated.
Talia ground her teeth in frustration. "Fine! I'll inform my superiors. No one will waste time on your nonsense anymore."
She pointed at the lieutenant and commanded, "Transfer him 1,000 dollars. Let's go!"
As Talia and her team stormed out, Robin couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
If they got involved in this mess, they might not even see the threat coming before it was too late.
Him telling them to leave was saving their *ss.
They should be grateful, but they acted as if they were above it all.
Just because they held a rank didn't make them powerful; without real capability, status meant nothing.
"Ring!" Vera's phone buzzed.
A WhatsApp call from Alice appeared on the screen.
Vera was perplexed as it was already past two in the morning.
Why would Alice call her at this hour?
"Alice, you're still awake?" Vera asked.
Alice yawned and said, "Not really. I just got back from the bar with one of Zachary's friends."
"What's up, Alice? Why call me so late?" Vera inquired.
After a brief pause, Alice said, "Vera, in a few days, Zachary and I are having our engagement ceremony."
Vera cast a quick glance at Robin, who remained absorbed in his phone.
Taking a deep breath, she replied, "Congratulations, Alice! If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know."
Alice sighed.
"I want to find a better venue for the engagement. Zachary has suggested a few hotels, but I'm not satisfied with any of them. I was hoping we could rent a luxurious villa to host the ceremony. It would be more prestigious that way; considering it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, I want it to be grand."
"A luxurious villa?" Vera pondered.
