The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274 I Must Take Robin Away
Cyrus released the safety on his handgun, advancing cautiously toward Robin.

He was worried that, in a desperate moment, Robin might take Hayley hostage.

Noticing Cyrus's approach, Hayley turned and snapped, "Cyrus, what are you doing?

"Robin saved my life. If you want to shoot him, you'll have to go shoot me first!

Cyrus paused. "Hayley, I'm just doing my duty. Don't make this difficult, alright?

"Do you realize how dangerous this is? Get back here now.

"He just killed three people. He's highly dangerous!"

Hayley scoffed. "Spare me the talk about ‘duty'! I looked into what's really happening here before I came."

She pointed toward the bodies scattered around the bar as she spoke.

"These people were all Terenova sc*m. You should have arrested them long ago, but you let them wreak havoc.

"Robin did what was needed—he protected Terenova from real threats.

"And yet, here you are, pointing your gun at him. I can't tell if you're serving justice or protecting these monsters!"

Cyrus knew all too well that Hayley was speaking the truth.

Adrian and his gang were nothing but monsters.

Under Demberoa law, these people should have faced justice long ago.

But as just a SWAT team captain, that was beyond his reach.

He could only follow orders.

Even though he despised Adrian and his gang, there was nothing he could do.

Faced with Hayley's fierce words, Cyrus found himself speechless.

Seeing Cyrus hesitate under Hayley's questioning, Anna spoke up, displeased. "Ms. Hayley, you're the mayor's daughter. You should uphold his dignity, not interfere with law enforcement!

"Acting like this will only cause trouble for your father!"

Hayley raised an eyebrow. "And who do you think you are, to lecture me?

"My father's never spoken to me like that. Go away!"

Anna's face flushed bright red.

Cyrus had always been fond of Hayley, and Anna's tone only added to his irritation.

He turned to Anna and said coldly, "Ms. Harlow, please don't speak to Hayley like that. She's not wrong!"

Anna was momentarily taken aback, then replied coldly, "Captain Patel, you're executing the mayor's orders to apprehend criminals. How can you allow irrelevant people to interfere with your duties?

"We, the Harlows, donate significant funds every year to support the City SWAT team and law enforcement agencies, hoping you'll uphold the integrity of the law!

"Is this how you conduct official business? You're wasting taxpayers' money!

"If this continues, the Harlows will file a complaint with the city government's ethics office!"

Cyrus frowned. "I never said I wouldn't investigate the incident at Dreamscape Bar.

"I just haven't fully investigated the details of the incident yet.

"So, I can't determine who the criminals are.

"At this point, there are some unexpected circumstances—the mayor's daughter is still with a suspect.

"I have to ensure Ms. Hayley's safety.

"What if I act recklessly and she gets hurt?

"Can you take responsibility if something happens to her?"

Anna glared at Cyrus in frustration.

Looking up at Robin, who was tightly held by Hayley, Anna felt a wave of unease.
