The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1126

Dubh let out a cold snort, a hint of disdain flickering in his eyes.

Neasan hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Mr. Keegan, I watched the entire battle unfold between Drakebane and the forces on the high seas of Panacea Ocean. That man … he is terrifyingly strong.

"He even possesses the super weapon launch system. Sakurania's three naval fleets were completely helpless against him, and in the end, he wiped them all out.

"Not only that, but he had the Thalrex Order and the Aldridge family's naval forces backing him. With such overwhelming power, I fear we might not be able to stand against him."

Dubh chuckled. "Elijah may have lost to Drakebane, but that doesn't mean I can't take him down.

"Back then, Elijah and I were evenly matched, but that was over 30 years ago.

"For the past 20 years, I have been honing my martial arts at Zrifsas Lake, and my techniques have undergone a significant transformation.

"Drakebane is only in his early 20s. No matter how formidable he is, he cannot compare to my nearly 60 years of martial arts cultivation.

"Elijah perished on the peak of Mount Fuoco during his fight with Drakebane. It seems that over the past 30 years, he did nothing but reflect in isolation without making any progress.

"What a pity. The events of the past have dulled his fighting spirit.

"But I am different. I have been in seclusion for the past two decades, meticulously refining my skills, and have now reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

"Drakebane, with his shallow martial arts foundation and undeveloped techniques, could never hope to withstand the might of my 60 years of cultivation."

Neasan nodded in admiration. "Congratulations, Mr. Keegan, your ambition is finally about to be realized.

"Yesterday, aboard the Neuno Cruise, Drakebane killed Ryden Valthar—the eldest son of Aeron Valthar, head of the Valthar family. I suspect that Aeron will come to see you today."

Dubh smirked indifferently. "If that's the case, Aeron will surely ask me to come out of seclusion and avenge his son.

"Drakebane has entered Sogas for the Nine Stars Group. A clash between them is inevitable.

"Neasan, go make the necessary arrangements. It would be best if we could drag Elaria's martial artists into this mess as well. Let this escalate into an all-out war against Drakebane.

"When that time comes, I will have the perfect reason to claim the ancient relic.

"Once I obtain the ancient relic, I will become the god of this world!"

…

After leaving the Nine Stars Biosciences Institute, Robin, Daphne, and Rita made their way toward the Nine Stars Tower.

As their vehicle entered West Crescent Avenue in Solas, they spotted a group of Elaria's pharmaceutical regulatory enforcement officers chasing two women down the street.

Robin's eyes widened in sudden recognition.

The silhouette of one of the women was all too familiar.

"What's wrong, Mr. Ramsey?" Daphne noticed the sudden shift in his demeanor.

Following his gaze, her cold eyes flickered with surprise.

It's Alice Miller.

What is she doing here?

"Mr. Ramsey, should we help her?"

Robin hesitated before shaking his head. "No. Leave it be."

A moment later, Alice and the other woman reached the intersection of West Crescent Avenue, turning left onto another street before vanishing from sight.

Isn't Alice supposed to be working at the Harmonfield Hotel? Why is she here in Elaria?

More importantly, why is she being pursued by Elaria's pharmaceutical regulatory enforcement team?

She looked completely disheveled.

Robin had arranged for Alice to work at the Harmonfield Hotel to ensure she wouldn't be disturbed. Had he mistaken someone else for her?

The car moved on, but a heavy silence filled the space within.

Robin rolled down the window, letting in a gust of fresh air.

A bitter, damp cold swept through the car, carrying an eerie chill.

It swept through the cabin, laced with an eerie coldness.

He recalled meeting Alice in Harmonfield a year ago—the initial thrill, the growing disappointment, the lingering disdain.

With time, all those once-intense emotions had faded into distant memories, buried beneath the dust of the past.

Robin spoke with indifference. "How's Alice doing lately?"

Daphne furrowed her brows slightly. "Mr. Ramsey, she has been working at the Harmonfield Hotel for some time. Her life has finally settled down.

"Any talk about her has mostly died down as well.

"I have no idea why she came to Elaria or why the enforcement team is after her.
