The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 944

Chapter 944 The Invitation from the Avingtons
Luella stood there, watching the scene unfold before her, shaking her head bitterly.

The plaza in front of the villa was eerily quiet.

Felix walked over to Ernst's lifeless body, tears streaming down his face.

After a long while, he noticed that Ernst's other hand was still clutching a pocket over his chest.

Felix carefully pried the hand away.

Inside the pocket was a photograph of Allie, taken 50 years ago.

Staring at Allie's youthful beauty in the photo, Felix sighed heavily, a bitter ache in his heart.

He gently returned the faded photograph to the pocket, pressing it close to Ernst's chest.

"Kolton, when we return, let's bring Ernst and his children back to Autreynia," Felix said quietly. "We'll bury them next to Allie."

"Yes, boss!" Kolton immediately gave orders for Ernst's body to be placed in the car.

Felix wiped the tears from his eyes and bowed slightly to Robin. "Mr. Ramsey, I apologize for the scene."

Robin nodded impassively. "It's part of life. There's nothing to laugh at or be upset about. We choose our joys and sorrows, and once they pass, they're gone. Let it go, and let's move on."

Felix watched Robin's back for a moment, then suddenly had an epiphany.

Yes, everything would pass.

The pain they were experiencing now, like everything before it, would soon fade away.

"Mr. Ramsey, how about I invite you to dinner at my estate tonight?" Felix asked.

Robin waved his hand dismissively. "You should get some rest too. Don't bother with formalities for my sake. Just take me back to the hotel. I need to wash off this blood, and we can discuss things tomorrow."

"Understood, Mr. Ramsey." Felix and Luella escorted Robin to the private luxury car and drove him to the Duskhaven Grand Hotel.

On the way, Felix received a call from Cuthbert Avington, Head of Market Regulation on Qacalisle Island.

"Mr. Felix, as per your request, I've prepared a comprehensive plan for the development and management of the island. When would it be convenient for you tonight? I'd like to visit you at your estate."

Felix thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Avington, I'd rather not meet anyone tonight. Let's arrange for tomorrow. We can discuss the redevelopment then.

"The Cattells have caused nothing but chaos on the island these past few years; it's time for a cleanup. Please send the plan to Luella, so she can review it.

"If possible, I'm considering entrusting the management of the island to you; I hope you won't let me down."

Cuthbert exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Felix, you can count on me. If you hand it over to me, I'll make it the most beautiful island in the world!

"There will be no more of the chaos from the Mateo era. I will bring peace to the island."

"You don't need to make empty promises," Felix interrupted, shaking his head.

"I'll have an oversight committee, and there will be regular annual audits of the island's operations.

"Previous mismanagement allowed the island to become a hideout for the World of Darkness and certain obscure sects."

Cuthbert assured him.

"Mr. Felix, my family has been a prominent family on the Island for many years. We know the island well, and we're capable of managing it.
