The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 A Habit of Beating Up Thugs

Alice scoffed, "He's probably just venting his frustration from earlier at Dawnspire Heights. All that pent-up anger finally came out here."

Zachary paused for a moment, then laughed mockingly. "Didn't Mr. Barrett say he lives in Villa One?

"For someone who can supposedly afford a mansion like that, lining up to buy fried dough at this stall? This guy is hilarious."

Alice sighed, looking at Robin with a pitying expression.

"Maybe breaking off the engagement really hit him hard. That's why he keeps lying and pretending to be someone he's not.

"I think he's just trying to prove himself to me—to show me he can 'live well' and 'be impressive.'

"But it's pointless. We're from different worlds. We'll never be on the same level."

"I mean, really. For him to pretend to own Villa One at Dawnspire Heights ... how sad.

"There's nothing I can do for someone so shallow. Watching him try so hard just makes me feel sorry for him."

Zachary chuckled. "Alice, there's no need to feel anything for a guy like that. Just sit back and enjoy the show."

...

Meanwhile, Robin was standing over the stocky man, who looked up at him, trembling.

"D-Don't ... don't come any closer. Don't hit me again ... "

Robin raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't you say something about how you won't get hurt if you don't ask for it?

"It was me asking for it! It was all my fault!" The man stammered, begging for mercy.

He could tell that if he kept up his tough act, this young guy in front of him would beat him to a pulp.

Robin sneered. "Get lost."

With a swift kick, he sent the man flying back seven or eight feet.

Robin's kick sent the chubby man flying backward, landing hard 20 feet away.

After struggling to get up, the man scrambled to his feet and fled, fear replacing his initial bluster.

The crowd erupted in applause and laughter.

"Good job! Well done!"

"Young man, that was impressive!"

"Someone needs to teach thugs like him a lesson!"

"Hey, buddy. Are you a professional fighter?"

"At first, I thought you'd be in trouble!"

"Young man, that guy you just hit is trouble around here. Be careful, he might come back for revenge.

His name's Tucker Holmes, and nobody messes with him. They say his brother works for Dawnspire Security Company—those guys are serious."

"Yeah. No one around here dares cross him. He's got connections with Mr. Barrett at Dawnspire Security."

"You should probably get going. It looks like it's your first time at this stall, so don't hang around too long and risk more trouble."

Robin gave a faint smile, not bothered at all.

The girl in the plaid skirt walked up to him, gratitude written on her face. "Thank you for helping me."

Robin noticed the crumpled resume in her hands. "Hurry up and print another copy. You should still have time."

The girl shook her head. "I think I'm already too late.

"The Dunn Group has tons of applicants, all with really impressive resumes.

"Even if I rush over now, I doubt I'll get the job."

Robin looked her in the eye, his expression steady. "How can you be so sure if you don't even try?

"Go now, and you might actually succeed."

She hesitated, then smiled shyly. "Alright, I'll take your advice and give it a shot."

After a pause, her cheeks turned slightly pink, but she boldly continued, "My name's Rosalie Grant. Could I add you on WhatsApp? If I get the job, I'd love to treat you to a meal!"

Robin smiled faintly. "It's no big deal. Don't worry about it. Just go to your interview."

"But ... " She hesitated again. "I just ... really want to thank you. Can't I treat you to dinner sometime?"

Robin shook his head. "No need. If we're meant to meet again, we will."

Disappointed, Rosalie gave him one last look.

Seeing that he was serious about not exchanging contact information, she reluctantly gave up.

As she walked away, she felt a strange feeling growing in her heart.

She knew she was attractive—certainly not breathtaking, but beautiful enough.

At school and even after entering the workforce, men often went out of their way to ask for her contact info.

But this man who had helped her just now shrugged it off as nothing.

And when she tried to add him on WhatsApp, he refused.
