The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774 A Reckoning of Power 

Chapter 774 A Reckoning of Power 

Magnus still hadn’t figured out how to explain things when the head of the Police Cyber Department suddenly hung up on him. 

A chilling, bone–deep fear washed over him, making his whole body tremble, sweat soaking his skin. 

The video was actually put out by none other than Elliot, the eldest son of the Northlorn Residence! 

And worse, it was being looped by the Dragon Palace’s publicity department 

This was clearly an all–out attack on the Sharpes! 

Only then did Magnus seriously consider the young man in front of him, who had been so calm the whole time. He nearly collapsed, his legs giving way under hin. 

A cold, oppressive dread spread through his spine in a flash. 

His hand, still holding his phone, froze mid–air, unsure where to put it. 

The man standing before him wasn’t just challenging the Sharpes–Elliott, the eldest son of the Northlorn Residence, and Dragon Palace were backing him! 

What kind of power was it that could command this much respect? Who was powerful enough to have such influence? 

Magnus was just a vice president at the Brighton Cyber Association. Even if he had a thousand times the courage, he wouldn’t dare go head–to–head with the Dragon Palace or the Northlorn Residence–those who controlled the national machinery. 

Looking back at how arrogantly he had behaved in front of Robin, Magnus’s head felt like it was about to explode. 

He stared at Robin, his body shaking, his legs giving out in terror. 

His eyes darted nervously to the waiting Sontags, Lara, and the other wealthy elites in the hall. 

At that moment, Magnus was caught between a rock and a hard place, feeling the weight of his mistakes pressing down on him. 

What kind of enemy had the Sharpes made? 

Even though he had the support of the Northlorn Residences, more than ten of them would be needed to stand up against the Dragon Palace if it came down to it 

Why the hell had he gotten involved in this? Magnus cursed himself silently. Now, he was in deep trouble for standing up for them. 

The video was being spread by the Northlorn Residence–it was a sign that the state machinery might soon be used to wipe out the Sharpes! 

He had never seen such a large–scale operation from Dragon Palace in all his years. Having them oversee the video’s broadcast clearly meant things were about to get serious.

Chapter 774 A Reckoning of Power 

The Sharpes are finished! 

With this video released, Lara’s monstrous actions have red public watrage 

The higher–ups had prediably already received word and were waiting for the righe moms to strik 

Once public anger peaked, they would have the perfect to eliminate the Sharpes 

ruse 

It would alleviate the masses, boost the credibility of the in power, and allow them to seize the family’s wealth and property. 

Worse still, even someone with the identity of the Lord Pitman’s niece, like Janelle, would be nothing more than an ant in the face of Dragon Palace 

Magnus, a vice president at the Brighton Cyber Association, had no business Manding up for the Sharpen especially when the Northlon Residence and Dragon Palace were already gunning for them. 

What a massive mistake! What a fool! 

That’s like trying to break a rock with an egg or take down a tree as an ant–going up against a killing machine is something you’d only do if you got knocked in the head! 

The crowd, watching the drama unfold, began to grow suspicious. 

Everyone watching Magnus handle this video from afar felt uneasy as they noticed his shoulders trembling. 

“What the heck is he up 

“It’s just a phone call–why does he look like a complete wreck after that?” 

“Did he down a whole bottle of wine this morning?” 

“Or maybe he’s just nuts.” 

“He’s done with the call, so he should be putting people in their place! What’s he standing there shaking for 

“Looks like something’s off.” 

“He seems seriously freaked out by that young guy who sent the coffin!” 

“What’s going on?” 

Raiden and Janelle had also noticed Magnus’s fear. 

With her high–society experience, Janelle instantly sensed something unusual. 

It seemed like Magnus had come up against a rival he couldn’t overcome. 

Could it be that Wilder’s connections were stepping in for Robin? 

Not that any of this fazed her. 

9/4 

A Reckoning of Power. 

Janelle was confident that few people in Draconia would dare disrespect her 

Even the other royal houses would have to weigh the rks before clashing with her directly.

Unless someone at the top of Draconia or the Dragon lace intervened, this wasn’t an issue she couldn’t handle. 

Besides, only a handful of Draconia people could pull powerful strings. If they were involved, it wouldn’t just be some low–key spectacle. 

While Janelle calculated her options, Robin broke the lence in the hall. “Mr. Sutton?” 

Magnus’s face lit up in startled delight! 

Instantly, he pu 

he put on a sycophantic smile, hurried over, and bowed deeply. I was just joking earlier. 

“A joke? You mean to say something like this is just a joke?” Robin took a wet wipe from Ferell and cleaned his hands 

“Weren’t you just insisting that you’d personally prove this video was malicious slander?” 

“Tell everyone–is this video malicious slander or real? 

Magnus looked at Robin’s harmless–looking smile, trembling. “I haven’t verified if the incident is true or not. I don’t know.” 

Robin wiped the wet cloth across Magnus’s face a few times. “Before you announced you’d handle‘ me just now, did you bother to verify any of this?” 

“N–no, I didn’t. Magnus’s whole body shook. 

Robin’s smile turned cold. “Then why were you so confident declaring the video slander?” 

“I..Magnus broke out in a sweat. 

Slap! Robin swung his hand, and Magnus’s cheek burst red.
