The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1135

The suffocating atmosphere in the exhibition hall was unbearable.

The glaring overhead lights added to the discomfort.

Bran's desperate and pitiful pleas echoed through the room.

And then there was Robin—his cold, fearsome demeanor, exuding an indifference to everything. Shania's mind whirled with frustration and confusion as Robin proudly displayed his back.

She had never seen such a chaotic, helpless scene in her life.

The Nine Stars Group was an empire in Elaria, a titan so massive that no one dared cause trouble on their turf.

Yet now, this ruthless man had the audacity to act violently in front of her and showed no respect at all.

It was absolutely outrageous!

Bran's tortured begging only fueled her disgust and anger.

In her world, all the men who admired her should be ready to die for her at any moment.

How could she beg a man who attacked her?

Was the incident not a humiliation?

Thankfully, she had not thrown herself into Bran's arms.

That would have been a great loss and humiliation she could never have recovered from.

In her flustered panic while waiting for backup, Shania's gaze caught Thorne's.

She hadn't even realized that he was present.

"Mr. Winterstrike!" Shania snapped, her voice commanding, like that of a queen.

"That madman is causing chaos at Nine Stars, seriously insulting Elaria's interests! Please, stop him before things escalate further!"

Thorne only gave a faint smile, his voice cold. "Ms. Shania, I'm sorry, but I'm not obligated to help you or your company. Besides, Mr. Glenns is a disciple of Mr. Keegan.

"His honor or disgrace is tied to Mr. Keegan's sect, not mine!"

Shania's anger boiled, but she couldn't direct it at Thorne.

After all, the forces behind him were as powerful as Nine Stars itself.

She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Winterstrike, Robin's actions have not only harmed Bran, Nine Stars, and myself, but he has also tarnished our country's reputation!

"Every man has the duty for the rise and fall of a nation. You are our top combat expert. It's your duty to step in and stop this!"

Her words immediately earned the approval of the onlookers.

They rallied behind her, a united front now.

As expected from the daughter of a powerful conglomerate, her ability to control the situation and rally people to her side was unparalleled.

In this moment, if Thorne refused to act, he would be seen as a disgrace by all of Elaria.

Shania could see the looks on everyone's faces and couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction.

She was certain Thorne would give in.

Otherwise, his reputation as the top combat expert in Elaria would be over.

Thorne scoffed and said, "Ms. Coyle, you can't force me. This kind of patriotic moral pressure won't work on me.

"What you're talking about, this idea of every man having the duty for the rise and fall of a nation, is just a fallacy. It means nothing to me."

"The original saying is, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man, not the nation you're referring to.

"The nation is not the world!

"When it came to Teal House meetings and dividing the profits, did I get any of those benefits?

"And now, when you talk about the rise and fall of the nation, I suddenly have an obligation? What kind of logic is that?

"Let me enlighten you. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man. But when it comes to the nation, it's the powerful who are responsible, not the common folk!"

Shania was losing her mind.
