The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 921

Chapter 921 I Promise to Forever Respect You
Outside the grand Qacalisle International Convention Center, an unsettling silence fell over the crowd.

An oppressive, almost suffocating atmosphere weighed heavily on those gathered.

Their eyes darted toward the heir to the prestigious family, drawn to her regal aura. A sudden chill rippled through the group, as if her icy presence had seeped into their very bones.

The autumn sun beat down relentlessly, amplifying the heat of the already stifling sea breeze, which seemed to carry a sense of anxious impatience.

In the distance, the late-season cicadas continued their song, oblivious to the approaching winter, adding a sense of dissonance to the scene.

Pierre's face turned ashen, his expression torn.

His once-proud stance, once filled with youthful defiance, crumbled under the weight of the moment.

With a heavy thud, he collapsed to the ground, his pride shattered by the crushing reality.

Pierre groveled before them.

Just as Kolton arrived, he kicked Pierre in the leg.

"You fool! What gave you the audacity to gamble with Mr. Ramsey? Now, you'd better fulfil your bet!"

Felix entered, his warm demeanor shining through. "What's going on, Kolton?"

Kolton immediately bowed low. "Mr. Felix, Pierre has foolishly insulted Mr. Ramsey."

Felix exchanged a glance with Robin before turning to Pierre still groveling at their feet. "Is there really someone who dares to challenge Mr. Ramsey? Show me the bet."

Guards quickly presented the gambling agreement to Felix.

Pierre, with lingering defiance, spoke up. "Mr. Felix, he ... he said that if the Aldridges dared to challenge him, he would crush them without hesitation!"

Felix chuckled softly.

"That's exactly right. If not for Mr. Ramsey, we'd have been gone years ago—and we'd still be gone now, and in the future, too.

"In other words, the Aldridges are nothing compared to Mr. Ramsey.

"He could take down the Aldridges at any moment.

"He can even have my granddaughter, Luella. Well, if Mr. Ramsey were interested, of course."

Felix's words shook everyone in the hall, their impact impossible to ignore.

It was unimaginable to hear the head of the Aldridge family, the most powerful dynasty in the world, speak with such humility!

A seemingly unwinnable bet had somehow been turned around completely!

What kind of power did one need to make the leader of the world's most influential family bow so deeply?

Cyril, standing nearby, couldn't help but gasp.

It was a relief that he hadn't acted too rashly earlier.

Now, watching Pierre, still unwilling to accept defeat while lying on the floor, Cyril could only laugh bitterly at himself.

What is Pierre, the so-called King of Mercenaries, in comparison to this kind of power?

He's completely out of his depth.

As Felix finished speaking, Kolton immediately bowed before Robin again.

"Mr. Ramsey, Pierre has insulted you with his arrogance. Let me deal with him to ease your anger."

Kolton knew that Robin could end Pierre's life with a single motion.

If Pierre still didn't understand his position, his fate was sealed.

Yesterday, Kolton had seen how Julius, the Aldridges' long-serving captain, met his end at Robin's hands.

Robin wasn't a noble gentleman; he was a ruthless beast.

What Pierre and his ignorant allies didn't realize was that the man before them was Divine Drakebane, a name feared even by gods.

The world is never short of fools!
