The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1075

Chapter 1075 A Lone Shadow Rises
Azul lifted his gaze toward Tamara, a flicker of coldness flashing through his eyes.

Meanwhile, Lemi scrambled up from the ground with an awkward roll and rushed to stand before Azul.

"Mr. Fotheringay, I believe it's necessary to establish clearer regulations for the martial arts exchange in Sunria.

"If we continue to allow acts of brutal vengeance like Robin's, it will only throw the martial arts world of Sakurania into utter chaos."

Azul furrowed his brows. "Mr. Grey, are you trying to give me orders?"

Lemi responded immediately, "Mr. Fotheringay, this is an urgent matter."

Before he could finish, Azul cut him off with an icy tone, "Urgent? And what the h*ll does that have to do with you? More importantly, do you think you have the right to demand anything from me?"

Lemi flinched, swallowing hard. He carefully rephrased, "Uh … Mr. Fotheringay, please don't misunderstand. I wouldn't dare tell you what to do.

"Didn't you come here to address the issue of Robin killing Bastien?"

Azul let out a dry chuckle. "And what exactly are you trying to say?"

Lemi straightened his posture and explained, "Mr. Fotheringay, the Free Fighting Championship is a prestigious event, meant to foster friendship and communication through martial arts, not a stage for vengeance and bloodshed."

Tamara immediately chimed in, "Exactly! Mr. Fotheringay, I'm still mourning Bastien's death. Robin's brutality has completely twisted the spirit of this competition! If we just let him walk away, won't that send a dangerous message to the public?"

Azul's voice turned even colder, "So, are you saying that Robin should be punished? Let me remind you, Mr. Drakebane clearly stated before the match that his fight with Bastien was a duel to the death. He also made it clear that this was a private matter—a personal grudge—and had nothing to do with any unrelated individuals, organizations, or regions. This method of settling disputes has long been acknowledged by both the high authorities of Sakurania and our martial arts community. We abide by one fundamental rule that the strong reign supreme. We honor our agreements and do not interfere in private, openly declared duels of personal grievances!"

He scanned the faces before him and sneered, "If your entire family were wiped out, your loved ones were slaughtered, and no legal authority would uphold justice for you, would you still kneel before your enemy, begging for peace? Let's be honest. If that's the case, you'd be nothing but a spineless coward! When the law fails to deliver justice, then a life-or-death duel like today is the only rightful resolution. Mr. Drakebane did nothing wrong! You sell out your people just to curry favor with powerful forces here. That's an extremely horrible action! The whole world despises traitors who plot against their own people!"

Azul's voice was sharp as he turned to Lemi, "Mr. Grey, as of today, Drumskulls will cut all ties with you. There will be no further cooperation or communication between us! If you dare to continue twisting the truth, distorting the narrative, or stirring up trouble, Drumskulls will not tolerate it!"

Lemi stood frozen in disbelief. He had fully expected Azul to be furious over Robin's killing of Folker's father and son. Instead, Azul was directing his rage at him.

"But, Mr. Fotheringay ... "

"There is no but!" Azul's palm lashed across Lemi's face with a resounding slap. "If you ever dare to utter another word against Lord Drakebane in my presence, I will make sure you disappear from Sunria forever!"

Lemi staggered, his hand trembling as he clutched his stinging cheek. "Mr. Fotheringay, that's not what I meant! Robin already slaughtered Kurtis and Bastien. That's such a violent behavior."

Azul's expression turned deadly. "Oh, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying I must take action against Lord Drakebane?"

His voice dropped into an ominous growl. "Arrest and throw them into the sea! Let the sharks feast on them."

Four thugs in suits from Drumskulls immediately sprang into action, forcing Lemi and Tamara to the ground, pinning them under their heavy boots.

Neither of them had expected that in their desperate attempt to please Sakurania Nation's higher-ups had offended the wrong person. Now, their very lives hung by a thread.
