Chapter 240 Why Shouldn't I Kill Him? The Hellclaw assassin knew all too well the truth of his situation. Escaping alive in the presence of someone like Robin, the terrifying Divine Drakebane, was utterly impossible. Years ago, this man had reduced the Dark Lord, the Phoenix Vanguard, and the Drumskulls-all notorious gang factions-to mere ants.
The former Dark Lord, Caym, had reached the pinnacle of the Ancient Martial Realm with millions of followers worldwide.
However, he ultimately met a gruesend on top of a church.
Legend had it that the one who ended this top-tier figure in the Ancient Martial Realm was none other than Divine Drakebane with a single blow.
Even a figure as legendary as the former Dark Lord fell to a single strike from Robin.
What chance did an insignificant Hellclaw assassin like him stand? If he didn't die from torture, that would already be the best outche could hope for.
At this moment, all he wished for was a quick death at the hands of the Divine Drakebane. "What?!" The scene unfolded before Talia was beyond her comprehension.
"How can a vicious Hellclaw's assassin show such fear in the presence of Robin? "Is this skind of illusion?" As an elite member of Draconia's Investigation Division 7, Talia found it impossible to accept what she was witnessing.
The Hellclaw assassination organization had risen quickly in less than a decade, yet this notorious group had already caused countless bloodbaths across Draconia.
Most of its members were hardened criminals who had escaped from the prisons of Draconia and Southeast Aurientia.
Once they joined Hellclaw, they underwent brutal training to becassassins, reaching a level of skill that allowed them to participate in the organization's missions. As a result, each member was a formidable fighter. Ordinary police officers and even special forces struggled to survive against Hellclaw assassins.
Talia had once trained in special forces.
Not only was she skilled in combat, but her marksmanship was also sharp.
Although she couldn't match the elites of Draconia's War Wolf Special Forces, she was still considered top-tier among regular officers.
Despite her prowess, she could barely hold her own against an average Hellclaw assassin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEncountering someone like Grizz would likely leave her struggling to escape.
Yet here was Robin, who had not only severely injured Grizz but had also killed three Hellclaw assassins.
Now, he had rendered the assassin before her so terrified that he knelt, trembling as if he had seen a devil. Who exactly was Robin? What made him so fearsthat even the Hellclaw killers were terrified? Even more puzzlingly, Robin had a conflict with the Brookhaven Martial Alliance at the Harmonfield Hotel just a few days ago.
The next day, the Alliance mysteriously vanished.
Rumor had it that it was all the work of Robin alone.
But Talia couldn't believe it.
No matter how formidable one person was, they couldn't stand against the most powerful alliance in Draconia, let alone destroy it. Talia secretly scanned Robin's handsface, feeling a sudden wave of disdain.
To label this guy a rogue seemed more fitting.
If anyone called him a combat expert, she would never believe it-especially after his earlier lewd behavior of groping her.
It was clear enough that this guy was up to no good.
At best, he was a slightly more skilled rogue.
However, she was puzzled as to why this Hellclaw assassin was so afraid.
Vera was equally astonished.
Having been by Robin's side through many adventures, she recognized his impressive skills.
Talia had once said that the Hellclaw was a group of ruthless killers.
Could it be that these notorious assassins feared Robin? Vera doesn't get it.
Yet she didn't want to overthink it.
Being with such a formidable man brought her joy, and every day was rich and colorful.
But when she recalled that her cousin had hired these people to assassinate her, her anger flared! That b*stard is malicious! After failing in Harmonfield, he spent a fortune and attempted to get rid of me.
Since mom severed ties with the Lynches, I had nothing to do with them or with Jamie.
When Jamie saw the Silva Group thriving, he wanted to take advantage of it.
Because of this, he seeks to take my life? Hmph! Jamie, you're dreaming! The Silva Group is my mother's life work and a gift from Robin.
No one will take it from me! Robin sensed Vera's inner turmoil and held her hand tightly.
He kicked a dagger on the ground.
The dagger glinted coldly as it plunged into the neck of the Hellclaw assassin.
"W-why did you kill him?!" Talia shouted as she put her gun into its holster, her voice full of disbelief.
Robin cast a quick glance at Talia, whose shirt was on the verge of burstin He pursed his lips and said, "Why should I keep him around?" Before Talia could unleash another tirade, a wave of murderous intent suddenly erupted from the crowd, shaking the onlookers to their core.
A shadow shot out from the darkness of the crowd, a dagger slicing through the air, and shot toward Talia and Robin.
This hidden expert took advantage of Talia and Robin's distraction to launch a surprise attack.
Caught off guard, Talia barely had tto react.
"Watch out!" Tobias and Dustin, both injured, yelled in unison.
Talia saw the movement from the corner of her eye and instinctively wanted to counter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, the assassin was too fast; she didn't even have a chance to draw her weapon. "Perfect timing! I was worried you wouldn't dare to come!" Robin chuckled, pulling Talia aside.
He reached under her left armpit and drew her gun, placing it in her hands.
Talia trembled in shock. She reflexingly turned around and fired at around the assassin. The assassin dodged with ease. He swayed his body as bullets whizzed past his ears, not even grazing him.
Frustrated, Talia pulled the trigger until her magazine was empty, but nothing hit.
The assassin approached Robin and Talia, grinning smugly at them.
Robin swiftly snatched a dagger from Talia's waist and drove it into the assassin's throat.
"Spurt!" Blood erupted from the wound! The strike was a flash of movement, so quick that neither Talia nor the assassin had tto react.
When a distant assassin in the crowd witnessed this, he lost all desire to attack.
His body curled in an odd manner, bending low as if coiling like a spring.
Then he shot out into the darkness of the night, disappearing without a trace.
Robin squinted as he recognized the fleeing figure.
This was a Skeola assassin-extremely agile, capable of running at speeds twice that of the fastest human. However, now that this person had revealed themselves, there was no escaping Robin's grasp.
Robin let out a playful smile for the still-shocked Talia. He led Vera toward the parking lot.
"Hey! Stop right there!" Talia rushed in front of Robin, commanding him to halt.
"I still have questions for you. Cm back to the station with meto cooperate with our investigation." Robin chuckled lightly, sidestepping Talia.
"I just helped you out. Instead of me, you wantto vel + bxication? Get real!" the station for your investigation? Get real!" As he passed her, he sneaked a glance at her ample chest and grinned, "Nice feel!" "Urgh! You j*rk!" Talia covered her chest, her face flushing red.
She shouted at the retreating Robin, "You b*stard! Just wait, I won't let you off so easily!"
