The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1128

Shania, Ceana, and Bran's words quickly drew everyone's attention.

The guests gathered around the newly appointed CEO of Nine Stars Group.

Everyone was speculating—who could have the audacity to challenge Nine Stars Group, an organization with such immense influence?

With a market value of 700 billion dollars, Nine Stars Group was more than just a symbol of wealth and power—it was a formidable force.

In Elaria, its economic, cultural, and political landscape, including the nation's very government and even the president's cabinet, were nothing more than puppets controlled by these financial titans.

In a country like Elaria, where ideology took a backseat, true power lay in the hands of capital.

In other words, anyone who dared to provoke Nine Stars Group wasn't just going up against a corporate giant—they were challenging the very machinery of the Elarian state.

However, among the guests, some had caught wind of recent events in Sakurania.

If the person confronting Shania was as formidable as Ceana claimed, then this was an entirely different matter.

Despite the international community's efforts to suppress the news, whispers of Robin's revenge had still managed to spread.

Since his rise to power, stories of Robin had never ceased to circulate.

However, the most recent reports, which asserted that Robin had personally defeated three divisions of Sakurania's Navy and destroyed three aerial fleets of the Rivers, appeared implausible.

It was hard to believe that one man alone could achieve such an extraordinary feat.

As for the much-hyped showdown between Elijah and Robin at the peak of Mount Fuoco, while some video footage had surfaced, it had been altered—shot from a distance and intentionally blurred.

As a result, the battle at Mount Fuoco had taken on a near-mythical quality.

Robin's supposed vengeance against Sakurania had become nothing more than a sensational topic of gossip, and few truly believed that the so-called "Divine Drakebane" had single-handedly shaken an entire nation.

So when Ceana suggested that the person in question might be the legendary figure who had wreaked havoc in Sakurania, not only did she doubt it herself, but Shania and the rest of the guests found the idea laughable.

To them, it was either a baseless rumor or the delusions of a vain self-promoter.

Someone as powerful as Bran, a top-tier warrior in Elaria, dismissed the idea entirely.

He simply didn't believe that a lone individual capable of toppling nations could exist.

"Ms. Shania, what exactly is the conflict between you and this person?"

Shania's beautiful eyes flickered with disdain as she smirked. "I have no idea. Maybe he's just a con artist trying to extort Nine Stars Group. He's been chasing us from Qacalisle Island to Sogas, weaving this outrageous lie. Isn't it obvious what he wants? This b*stard is after a massive payout from Nine Stars Group!"

Bran nodded with a smile. "Just a petty schemer. Even if he's in Sogas, it's no cause for concern. Sogas Arena is a dominant force here in Sogas. With me around, no one dares cause trouble."

The guests nodded in agreement.

With the personal disciple of Elaria's top Grandmaster standing by their side, neither Nine Stars Group nor Shania had anything to fear.

Shania's expression softened, and a wave of gratitude welled up in her heart.

With someone like Bran protecting her, even if Robin did come knocking, there was nothing to worry about.

Unconsciously, she leaned a little closer to Bran, her gaze flickering with warmth.

The subtle gesture sent Bran's heart racing.

"Ms. Shania, can you tell me when exactly you encountered Mr. Ramsey? What happened between you two?"

Shania's smile gradually turned cold.

"Last month, Grandpa and I traveled to Qacalisle Island for an inspection, considering the possibility of investing in the Aldridges' project.

"While touring a cruise ship, Grandpa suddenly collapsed.

"At the time, Robin showed up and claimed he could save my Grandpa.
