The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 804

Chapter 804 To Forget Means Death 

The room grew still, the kind of silence that pressed down like a weight

Rhett stood frozen for a moment, then let out a bitter laugh

His eyes, worn and tired from years of hardship, burned now with a sharp, unyielding coldness

“A small man seeks power for his own gain, he said, his voice low

“A true man fights for something greater, driven by honor and faith

The son of a rich landowner who kills and destroysbe is beyond saving, Or that’s what you said

But what about us? What about our people? The ones who oppress, who exploit? Should they get a free pass? That was the thing you asked

What kind of logic is that

A royal pardon is nothing but useless garbage

The only thing that truly endures is a cause fought for the greater good

I followed the Dragon Lord to claim this land for one reasonto create a place where all are equal

Now you come here, talking to me about special privileges. If that’s supposed to be an insult, you did a mighty fine job

I am a proud lord of Draconia, and I will never stoop to such dishonorable acts!” 

Rhett’s words echoed in the room, loud and heavy, like the toll of a bell

In the stillness that followed, every heart seemed to quiver

The sound, the feelingit was something forgotten, something distant

If the old general, nearing the end of his years, hadn’t spoken with such raw emotion, no one would have remembered

Forgotten would be the soldiers who fought and died, one by one, in the heat of battle

They had left behind families, homes, and everything they knewfighting for a future of justice, fairness, and equality for all

Not to protect the selfish whims of a few

But time changes everything

Those noble ideals, once strong and clear, have faded

Now, only a few fractured mountains stand against the storm

Do you remember the vows made during those dark, desperate days

Chapter 604 To Forget Means Death 

The room was filled with a quiet, sorrowful stillness. No one spoke

+8 Pearls 

It was the kind of silence that clung to the air, like the terror before a fall from a great height, the kind of silence that male hearts race

To forget was to fall into an irreversible abyss

Only by keeping one’s promises could one stand tall like a mountain, admired by all

Skylar blinked, as if waking from a dizzying, distorted dream

He lifted his eyes to Lord Southmere, Lord Westeria Lord Northlorn, Lord Pittman, Lord Southville, Lord. Centara, and Lord Quintanaall pillars of Draconia. He swallowed hard

After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice trembling, My lord, I was your head of guards. I took two bullets for you. I’ve earned my place through battle

What I’m saying is, if our descendants make a mistake, I can compensate. Just forgive us this once, and I promise next time- 

Enough!Rhett’s voice thundered, cutting him off. What’s money? You can’t take it with you when you 

die

General Ramsey doesn’t want compensation. He wants justice. He wants what’s right

Skylar, if that’s what you truly think, then you’re no better than a landowner

The people who helped you get here didn’t do it so you could become another corrupt landowner. They did it for fairness, for justice

Now that you have some money and status, you think you can kill without consequence? That’s the logic of a thief!” 

Skylar’s eyes flashed with something dark. My lord, if we follow your reasoning, then the Fioris-” 

Lord Southmere snorted. The Fioris must all die. For the Dragon Lord’s sake!” 

Skylar stumbled back, horror in his eyes. My lord, you always talk about loyalty, about promises. Don’t you owe me a life in exchange for sparing the Fioris?” 

Rhett nodded slowly. Skylar, I once felt some pity for you, But now, our bond is over

Don’t worry, I never owe anyone anything. If I promised you an explanation. Ell give it

Mr. Josington!Rhett held out his hand. Give me the gun

As Mr. Josington placed the pistol into Lord Southmeres hand, Skylar quickly drew his own gun and pointed it at Lord Southmere

Rhett fired two shots into his chest

At the same time, Skylar’s bullet pierced Rhett’s heart

Rhett collapsed, blood pouring from his chest

The room froze. Silence, thick and absolute, filled the space.”

The six lords rose from their seats, watching the fallen Lord Southmere, once a hero, now lying in a pool

of blood

Mr. Josington and the lords officers pulled out their own guns, all aiming at Skylar

Don’t move!” Skylar shouted, his voice cutting through the tension. Within moments, thirty ruthless. assassins stormed in, guns aimed at everyone in the room

Rhett’s lips twisted into a bitter smile. Skylar, I’ve already given you what I owed you. I expect you to take responsibility, to stand up like a man. Don’t let our descendants curse us for what we’ve done.” 

No!Skylar shouted, his voice filled with fury. My life is mine, not some fate’s to control! Just because you helped me once doesn’t mean I’ll let you drag me to my death

What you gave me. I’ve already returned.” 

Jayden’s voice was full of disgust. Skylar, you’re nothing but an animal

You remember blocking two bullets for Rhett, but you’ve forgotten that he gave you a life, food, and half a lifetime of glory

If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have been around to block those bullets. You’d be dead, hunted by those landowners

You ungrateful coward! I should kill you!”
