The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1159

In Courtroom One, the atmosphere was tense.

After a brief silence, the presiding judge's authoritative voice echoed through the room.

"Silence! Anyone who disrupts the trial will be forcibly escorted from the courtroom!"

All eyes turned to Robin.

His earlier interruption had already tested the judge's patience. If he continued, he would surely be thrown out.

In the plaintiff's gallery, Eryndor was also present.

At that moment, he realized that the person speaking was none other than Divine Drakebane.

A shiver ran down his spine as he glanced at the figures surrounding Robin.

He carefully analyzed Robin's words, quickly noticing the clear bias in favor of the defendant.

A sense of dread washed over Eryndor.

If Robin truly sided with the defendant, then what was the point of this trial?

Winning the case would bring huge profits to Valysar Lab, maximizing its benefits. But if they offended Divine Drakebane, his life could be at risk!

In the battle at Kirie Mountain yesterday, Dubh, Neasan, and Kendrick had all been killed.

Even the upper ranks of the Cabinet had issued orders.

All of this pointed to a single truth—Divine Drakebane was someone no one could afford to cross in Elaria!

"Mr. Drakebane!" Eryndor hurried over to Robin, causing an immediate stir in the courtroom.

The judges and onlookers were equally bewildered.

The presiding judge wanted to speak but found himself unable to utter a word.

"Silence!" Robin snapped. "Return to your seat!"

"Y-Yes, sir!" Eryndor halted at once and retreated to his spot, drenched in cold sweat.

The odd exchange left everyone in the courtroom in shock.

Whispers filled the air as they wondered who Robin was to make Eryndor react in such fear.

The judges exchanged confused looks, murmuring among themselves.

Beside Robin stood influential figures like Conall, Eoran, Thorne, and even Shania from the Nine Stars Group.

With such powerful people present, they essentially represented Elaria's most formidable forces.

What did it mean for such big shots to back the speaker?

It was clear they were aligned with that troublemaker.

If the court moved against Robin, the consequences could be career-ending—or worse.

The judges had sacrificed much to gain their positions, trading dignity, wealth, and even health for power.

Losing it all now was unthinkable.

The jury had secretly accepted a massive bribe from Valysar Lab. If they failed to rule in Valysar Lab's favor, their lives would be at risk.

The assassins of the martial society lived by a code—take money to solve problems.

The judges were no different, only they operated within the system, while the assassins worked outside of it.

The judges held the power to interpret the law, and thus, fairness existed only in their minds.
