The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 923

Chapter 923 I Challenge You to a Duel
After Felix departed, the Aldridges' private car continued on for another ten minutes before reaching the grand villa on Qacalisle Island, where the banquet was being held.

Robin and Luella had just stepped out of the car when Pierre followed closely behind them.

His father, Kolton, had stressed the importance of this event. He believed it could significantly impact Luella's future and the Aldridges' legacy.

Since Pierre had vowed to support Robin, he was assigned the role of his temporary bodyguard for the evening, ensuring his protection.

Pierre understood his father's intentions.

Kolton wanted him to become an ally of Robin, though he had kept Robin's true background a secret.

Based on what he had heard, Pierre suspected Robin was no ordinary person.

After all, anyone capable of commanding Felix to bow must be incredibly powerful, though Pierre had yet to witness it firsthand, causing him to be very reluctant to follow his father's instructions.

Yet despite his reservations, Pierre could not refuse his father's request, as Kolton had raised him with great care and high expectations, being a single father who had lost his wife too early in life.

Luella noticed Pierre following them and furrowed her brow. "Pierre, you really don't need to stick so close."

Pierre responded with respect, "Ms. Luella, Mr. Ramsey, I'm here as your bodyguard for the evening. Please don't mind me."

Luella smiled gently. "Pierre, this is my event. I'm fine without a bodyguard. Besides, with Mr. Ramsey by my side, I don't need anyone else."

Pierre stood his ground, remaining polite. "Please don't worry, Ms. Luella. I'll keep my distance and won't interrupt."

Noticing Pierre's discomfort, Luella chuckled softly. "Pierre, there's no need to take it so seriously. Mr. Ramsey isn't going to hold it against you. He's not as rigid as you might think."

Pierre persisted. "I've sworn to respect Mr. Ramsey. I'm here to serve him."

Luella shrugged, conceding. "Alright, do as you wish. But Pierre, if you could be less impulsive and vain, you'd actually be a rather good person."

Pierre bowed in acknowledgment. "Yes, Ms. Luella. I'll reflect on that."

Seeing Pierre's humility, Luella let the matter drop. She linked arms with Robin as they headed toward the banquet hall.

Upon entering, a burst of laughter rang out from across the room.

"Haha, Luella! It's so wonderful to see you again!" A young woman in a stunning purple-blue gown rushed toward them, her excitement evident. It was Leilani Cafferey from the Caffereys, a prestigious family of South Panacea Ocean, accompanied by her brother, Teagan.

"Luella, you look incredible tonight! You're positively glowing!" Leilani exclaimed, giving Luella a warm hug and showering her with compliments.

"Thank you, Leilani," Luella replied casually. "Your gown is dazzling as well. If there were a global beauty contest, you'd definitely take second place."

"Second place?" Leilani blinked in mock surprise. "And who would take first?"

"Why, of course, it's me!" Luella laughed, her radiant smile lighting up the room.

The two women, reunited after some time, shared a light-hearted moment, catching the attention of everyone nearby.

Teagan stood by, admiring Luella's captivating smile. He had been infatuated with her since their school days, though she had never shown interest in him.

Now that he had become a Seven-Star Spartine Warrior, he was confident that she would see him differently.
