The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269 Ms Harlow
Seven years ago, on a dusky evening.

The ancient Crescent Lane in Chinatown was awash in golden hues from the sunset.

Robin vividly recalled the warm, breathtaking beauty of that day's sunset.

It was his first day working at the Dreamscape Bar.

A girl, around 13 or 14, suddenly caught his attention.

She lingered at the entrance, hesitating to step inside.

Bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, she stood there like a delicate fairy who had just emerged from another realm.

She wore a long, floral dress, and her short hair was fresh and pure, framing a delicate, fair face.

Together with the gentle breeze, the sunset, and the charm of the old street, she created a stunningly beautiful scene.

Her aura was so pure and ethereal and untouched worldly concerns, too delicate to be disturbed.

However, this serene and striking image was soon disrupted by a group of unruly thugs.

The thugs shoved the girl, trying to drag her into a private room on the second floor of the bar.

Without a second thought, Robin rushed in.

Using the fighting techniques he had learned from Old Fred, he quickly drove off the thugs and rescued the girl.

She introduced herself as Anna but revealed nothing more.

From that day forward, she stayed at the Dreamscape Bar with Robin.

At the time, Darren was merely a junior manager at the bar, and he kindly assumed that Anna was either an orphan or a young lady suffering from amnesia, having run away from home and lost her way back.

So, he asked the boss to prepare a guest room for Anna.

Anna stayed at the Dreamscape Bar for three months.

During that time, she was always by Robin's side, inseparable from him.

In the beginning, Anna silently followed Robin around, always close behind.

Whenever Robin was busy, she would lend a hand and help him with his work.

When Robin took a break, she would sit across from him, resting her chin on her hands and watching him quietly.

As time passed, Anna began to talk more and smile.

Later, Anna followed Robin, happily flitting around the Dreamscape Bar like a beautiful butterfly.

She became a stunning sight in the Dreamscape Bar.

Her presence added a touch of freshness and joy to the dull work atmosphere.

But good times are always too short.

Robin's adolescent heart, filled with the excitement of youth, was abruptly broken.

It was a rainy evening.

Robin was busy in the back of the bar when Darren told him that Anna was leaving.

Confused, Robin had no idea what was going on.

He assumed it was another encounter with those thugs bothering her.

Without saying a word, he grabbed a fruit knife and rushed outside.

Darren grabbed his arm, a look of reluctance on his face. "Maybe her family has come to take her home."

"Her family?" Robin was confused by Darren's words. "Isn't Anna an orphan?"

Darren shook his head. "Robin, you and she may not be from the same world."

Understanding Darren's implication, Robin followed him to the front of the bar.

At that moment, Anna had already left the bar and was getting into a Mercedes.

As Robin tried to rush over to speak with her, two men blocked his way.

On that drizzly evening, Anna said nothing.

She quietly left the Dreamscape Bar—and Robin—as if she had never been there at all, leaving without a trace.
