The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 The Very Survival of the Dunns
Noticing Alice's continued gloom, Zachary wiped the blood from his lip and continued, "Alice, are you worried about the Eastvale Ecological Project?

"There's no need for concern! My dad has already reached out to Daphne from Alphacrest Group.

"She mentioned that she might offer us a ten-billion-dollar stake in the Eastvale project.

"When the time comes, I'll speak with Ms. West and arrange for us to give the Millers a 30% share of our portion.

"As you know, Alphacrest Group primarily owns the Eastvale Ecological Project."

Alice's eyes sparkled with interest in this information.

Daphne from Alphacrest Group was a powerful figure, on par with Harmonfield's underground kingpin, Rygar!

She was Alice's idol and represented the kind of woman she aspired to be!

When Alphacrest Group first arrived in Harmonfield, Rygar attempted to stifle them.

However, within a month, all his efforts were in vain.

Instead, he had to personally apologize and agree to a truce.

From that point on, Alphacrest Group rapidly ascended in Harmonfield, with Daphne becoming one of the most enigmatic and formidable figures in the city's business community.

Alice asked, half in disbelief, "Mr. Gill, are you saying the Gills have really established contact with Ms. West from Alphacrest Group?"

Zachary, momentarily taken aback, smiled and replied, "Yes, Alice. So, we don't need to worry about the Dunns. Robin is just a lowly pauper compared to us."

The guests at the party were equally astonished by this revelation.

Daphne from Alphacrest Group wielded immense influence in Harmonfield, despite her low profile.

Her mysterious background commanded respect without the need for overt displays of anger.

With such a formidable figure involved, the Dunns wouldn't dare assert themselves as the top players in her presence.

To think that the Gills had managed to align themselves with her!

It appeared that the Gills, as one of Harmonfield's leading families, still possessed significant clout.

The Millers breathed a sigh of relief.

Juliet, Alice's mother, who had been anxious, now felt a surge of excitement upon hearing this news.

"Ms. West from Alphacrest Group is no ordinary person!

"Zachary, the Millers are counting on your family.

"Once we partner with Alphacrest Group, I'm eager to see how Robin will behave in our presence!"

A smile slowly spread across Alice's face.

She thought with a touch of cold amusement, Robin, you uncouth pauper, do you think you've achieved something by associating with the Dunns?

How ridiculous!

You'll never match up to Mr. Gill!

Don't even think about being arrogant in front of me!

I will eventually become a queen, like Daphne from Alphacrest Group!

When that time comes, if you dare to ignore me again, I'll make you beg for mercy!
