The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 803

Chapter 803 We’re Different 

Mr. Josington paused briefly before handing the gun to Rhett with both hands. 

Eithan, wide–eyed with disbelief, quickly spoke up. “Grandpa, Kieran has already suffered. Please, show him mercy, just this once.” 

Kimberly, equally anxious, grabbed Rhett’s arm. ‘Grandpa, if you can’t forgive him, at least lock him up for life. Or… 

Rhett gently pulled away their hands from his arm. 

“Eithan, Kimberly, I’ve already told you,” he said firmly In life, death isn’t the worst outcome. If you’re truly human, you must face both life and death without fear. 

“When it’s time to take responsibility, being afraid of death makes you less than an animal. 

“If you fail to show respect and commit an unforgivable crime, then your life must be the price. 

“I swore, the day I followed Dragon Lord into battle, that the Shaws would rather die than live as cowards, afraid to face the consequences of their actions. 

“Kieran has crossed a line. He must pay with his life. 

“His father has failed him, and he must be imprisoned for life. 

“I, too, will take responsibility for this. 

“You all need to pay attention. Remember this moment of pain. Carry it with you. 

To be human is to stand tall, to bear your responsibilities. If you can’t do that, then you aren’t truly 

numan. 

Ryder’s lips twitched slightly, but he remained silent. 

Burt, realizing the seriousness of the situation, begged. Dad, please. Spare Kieran. I promise I’ll make sure he’s taught properly from now on.” 

Rhett snorted. “There’s no such thing as changing for the better. That’s just something people tell the weak to keep them quict. 

“You can’t afford to make mistakes. When you do, you pay for them. 

“Kieran is where he is because of you. I failed as a father and that’s my greatest regret. It’s my responsibility. 

“You can’t promise anything about the past or the present, so why bother with the future? People who say that are just looking for excuses, trying to avoid the responsibility they should be facing right now.” 

Burt’s panic grew. He knew his father’s stubbornness too well. 

Once Rhett made up his mind, there was no changing it 

His only hope now was to appeal to the other lords, hoping one of them would speak up for Kieran.

He crawled toward Nigel. “Lord Nigel, please, talk to my father.” 

Nigel simply shook his head, offering no words. 

The other lords stood there, cold and unmoved. 

Burt’s heart sank as he realized the key to this situation was Robin. 

Only if Robin spoke up would there be any chance of changing Rhett’s mind and saving Kieran.

He turned and crawled toward Robin. “General Ramsey Kieran is blind, he’s an idiot! Please, have mercy on him. Spare him… 

Robin scoffed, “Don’t beg me. I don’t forgive,” 

“General Ramsey, I’ll make it right. I’ll provide all the compensation you want… 

Before Burt could finish, the sharp crack of a gunshot cut through the air. 

Kieran’s skull was torn open by a violent bullet, blood spilling onto the floor. 

The room fell into stunned silence, the screams of horror fading into an eerie stillness. 

The younger members of the royal family stood frozen, staring at Kieran’s lifeless body, visibly shaken. 

Kieran, the Southmere Scoundrel, had met his end at the hands of his own grandfather. 

Burt’s mournful cries echoed through the room, his voice breaking. 

Lord Southmere stood over his grandson’s body, his gaze cold. His body trembled, but he didn’t flinch. He turned slowly, as if in a daze. 

He handed the smoking gun to Mr. Josington, then raised his arm without a word. 

Four of Lord Southmere’s guards stepped forward, removing Kieran’s body and Burt from the room. 

The onlookers watched as the lord’s figure retreated. In that moment, it seemed as though he had aged years before their eyes. 

Jayden watched his old friend, whom he had often clashed with over the years. His lips twitched, but no words of comfort came. 

Skylar, still in shock, took a long time to process what had just happened. Kieran was dead. 

Rhett had spent the day carrying out executions. 

Would he be next? Was he, along with the Fioris, the next target? 

Skylar shook himself from his thoughts and quickly tuned to Rhett. “My lord, how could own grandson? 

“Kieran may have done terrible things, but he was still your flesh and blood. 

I kill your 

“The high officials of Draconia gave each of the Eight Rings three royal pardons, a guarantee against death.

“You could have used one of those pardons for Kieran, couldn’t you?” 

Rhett’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “A pardon? Yes, it could have saved Kieran. 

“But I can’t use it.”

Skylar, confused, pressed on. “My lord, with everything you’ve achieved, what is it that you can’t do?” 

“Skylar, we haven’t worked together for years. It seems we’ve grown apart in how we see things. 

Tve never cared about those pardons. 

“Even without one, if I wanted to protect my grandson, no one could have touched him. 

“But I could never commit such an unforgivable act!
