The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Black Beauty

Drake’s fury left everyone around him visibly shaken.

“Carlos, mobilize every resource the Dunn family has and find this person!” he commanded. “I don’t care how powerful they are: I’ll stop at nothing to take them down–no matter what it takes!”

“Wait!” Robin interjected.

“Mr. Dunn, please stay calm. Acting rashly might alert the person controlling the parasite, pushing them to take drastic measures that could endanger Timothy.”

Drake took a deep breath, reigning in his anger, and signaled to Andrew to hold off on any investigations or retaliation.

“Mr. Ramsey,” Drake said, “what should we do now?”

Robin glanced at the bowl of medicinal soup. “The person who planted this parasite in Timothy is likely someone close to him. Timothy must trust them deeply, or they’d never have gotten close enough to do

this.”

“This parasite has been dormant in Timothy’s body for five years, and it needs regular feeding from an outside source to stay under control. Without it, the parasite would either die on its own or begin wreaking havoc within Timothy’s body, which would ultimately kill him.”

Drake, hearing Robin’s explanation, grew livid.

“Mr. Ramsey, are you saying this person didn’t intend to kill Timothy outright, but instead to control him?

Robin nodded. That seems to be the case. If they’d wanted him dead, Timothy wouldn’t have survived this long

“From what Shirley has shared, Timothy’s condition has been deteriorating lately,” he continued. “This indicates that whoever is controlling the parasite has started to put their plan into motion, activating the parasite to awaken it fully shortly. Once it matures and reaches a certain number within his body, they’ll be able to use the mother parasite to manipulate Timothy’s thoughts and will. They could even control whether he lives or dies at any given moment.”

Drake was taken aback. “Why would anyone go to such lengths? Do they want to control the Dunn Group by manipulating Timothy?”

Robin shook his head. “That, I can’t say for sure. It’s possible that a rival hired a sorcerer from the Menoken tribe to do this, to seize control of the Dunn Group.”

Drake looked over at the bowl of medicinal soup on the coffee table, then turned his gaze toward Alex.

Alex, visibly tense, stammered, “Mr. Dunn, please don’t believe his nonsense! I do not quarrel with Timothy. Why would I ever harm him? Besides, I’ve never even heard of these parasites! How could I possibly have done something like this?”

Ignoring him, Drake motioned to Andrew, who moved to stand behind Alex, prompting beads of cold sweat to form on Alex’s forehead.

Oscar hesitated, then quietly tugged Carol toward the door, hoping to slip away.

“Stop!” Drake commanded in a steely voice. “No one is leaving tonight. Hand over your phones, all of you!”

At Drake’s orders, Andrew quickly summoned two bodyguards to secure the door and collect everyone’s phones.

Robin picked up the bowl of medicinal soup and sniffed it.

“Mr. Dunn, I can confirm that Dr. Carter’s prescription itself isn’t to blame here,” he said.

Alex was stunned; he hadn’t expected Robin to exonerate him on this matter.

“The original prescription that Dr. Carter wrote was indeed meant to improve Timothy’s blood and energy circulation, Robin continued. “It wouldn’t have had much effect on the parasite in his body. However, someone added a lethal ingredient to this broth–purpleroot!”

“It’s the purpleroot that’s been worsening Timothy’s condition.” Robin explained.

“Purpleroot?” Alex furrowed his brow. “I never included purpleroot in the prescription. How it end up in this soup?”

Robin gestured to the bowl. “One sniff, and you’ll know if purpleroot is in there or not.”

Alex lifted the bowl, carefully inspecting the contents to identify the herbs within. –

Sure enough, there was purpleroot in the medicine.

Who added purpleroot to my formula?” Alex looked around the room, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

After a brief pause, he continued, “Even if purpleroot was added to my prescription, it shouldn’t be is serious as you’re making it out to be!”

Robin shook his head. “Dr. Carter, let me tell you: Timothy’s problem isn’t a brain disorder–it’s poison. from a parasite!”

“Five years ago, when the parasite first entered his body, it was dormant.”

“But with purpleroot mixed into your medicine, the blood flow sped up instantly.”

“Once in his bloodstream, the parasite absorbed the purpleroot, feeding off nutrients from his blood and. becoming more active.”

“Day by day, these parasites are growing, multiplying

“This particular parasite thrives on purpleroot.”

“The person who raised this parasite has been feeding purpleroot from day one.”
