The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Is That Your Source of Confidence?
After the sharp crack of gunfire echoed in the air, Hugh erupted into fits of laughter.

Yet, his amusement was abruptly cut short by a piercing scream that sent chills down his spine, freezing the grin on his face.

Amidst the swirling dust at the entrance, Robin strode confidently inside, grasping Brenda's hand firmly.

Huh?

Hugh and his gang stood momentarily dumbfounded.

How had Nico, positioned so closely, failed to hit Robin and Brenda?

The group turned their gazes to Nico, who was now sprawled on the ground, one of his arms cleanly severed at the wrist.

"Hugh, remember what you said: if you're willing to bet, be prepared to lose. And if you go back on your word, you risk losing your limbs," Robin proclaimed, taking deliberate steps toward Hugh.

Brenda's eyes widened in horror as she finally registered the severed wrist that had once held Nico's gun, lying in a pool of warm blood beside it.

Hugh remained frozen in disbelief, unable to comprehend how Robin and Brenda had evaded Nico's shots.

He hadn't even seen Robin make his move.

Nico's hand that was holding the gun had been severed by a swift blade that Robin had kicked toward him.

Clenching his teeth against the agonizing pain, Nico gasped, "You're clueless!

"Do you even understand what awaits those who cross my path?"

Brenda shuddered, sensing the lethal intent radiating from Nico.

With a calm smile, Robin asked, "What do you think that fate might be?

"Didn't you say that if anyone goes back on their word, it means losing hands and feet?

"Why are you threatening me now?

"Do you need a reminder that in this business, whether you're on the light side or the dark side, you must keep your word!

"Otherwise, you're just an annoyance that will eventually be crushed."

Nico's expression twisted with fury, his eyes sparking with lethal intent.

"You're bold! Hugh, let him know our background!"

Hugh pointed at Robin, his voice laced with venom, "I don't care where you come from; you entered our territory today, and now you're as good as dead!

"Do you understand why we've been able to dominate this street for so long without any challengers?

"It's because we have the Rogarios backing us."

Robin dismissed him with a shake of his head. "The Rogarios? Is that your source of confidence?"

Hugh puffed out his chest defiantly and retorted coldly, "Yes! Do you even grasp what The Rogarios mean in Terenova? If—"

Before he could finish, Robin yanked him by the hair and slammed his face into the poker table.

Thud!

Hugh's face collided forcefully with the table, splintering it and leaving him bloodied and unconscious on the floor.

"The Rogarios?" Robin said, his smile icy as he approached Nico.

"If the Rogarios truly supported you, even the Queen of Terenova would bow before me!

"The Rogarios mean nothing!"

With that, Robin loomed over Nico, crushing his remaining hand underfoot and grinding it slowly.

Nico screamed in agony, the sound echoing like a slaughtered animal.

After a couple of minutes, Robin lifted his foot, wiping the blood off his shoe onto Nico's shirt.

"Take my advice: it's best if this ends here.

"Otherwise, losing limbs will be the least of your concerns.

"Brenda, let's go!" Robin urged, snatching the briefcase Brenda had dropped and pulling her away from the gambling den.

Outside, the man who had come to deliver money was still waiting.

Robin tossed the briefcase back into the man's arms. "Take this back."

The man said nothing and simply departed, driving off with the briefcase in tow.

Brenda followed Robin for quite a distance before reality hit her.

She glanced back at the gambling den, ensuring no one was tailing them, then whispered, "Robin, we're in serious trouble!

"Those people are going to kill us!" Brenda exclaimed, her eyes wide with worry.

Robin tousled her hair playfully, laughing, "Oh, come on! It's those fools who are way over their heads.

"Let's go home and have Marrisa cook something special. We should celebrate!"

Brenda sighed deeply, shaking her hair back with a hint of determination.

"Alright, Robin, if you're not afraid, then I won't be either!

"Who cares? If things go south, we'll just grab this money and take off!

"Forget that! I'm treating you to drinks when we get back!"
