The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1164

After reading information about Shadow's statement, Robin leaned back in his chair, shutting his eyes in deep thought.

His mind replayed every scattered event from the past year, every clue about the ancient relic and the tangled web connecting it to the Dragon Manor.

A simple thread connected them all. The Dark Night Alliance was the force that ignited the massacre at the Dragon Manor 20 years ago.

The World of Darkness was locked in a relentless battle for the ancient relic, turning it into the ultimate bait.

However, Shadow suspected that the Dark Night Alliance wasn't the true mastermind behind it all. If that were the case, then their objective was far bigger than just to obtain an ancient relic.

Could the real puppeteer be the Thalrex Order or the Dark Lords? Or perhaps even the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance? What the hell do these b*stards after?

It always circled back to the ancient relic. Just how much power does it hold to make them chase after it for two whole decades?

If the Thalrex Order truly is the one pulling the strings, then they have no reason to waste their efforts on a mere artifact. They already possess cutting-edge super weapons, powerful enough to shake the entire world.

With the high-tech weaponry developed under the Sergio couple's leadership, they can crush any military force on Earth, including the superpowers armed with nuclear weapons. They don't need to scheme for a legend that could dominate the Earth with such immense power.

Or, in other words, ancient relic has superpowers that are not only passed down in the World of Darkness. One that went beyond Earth, beyond time and space itself.

Before Master Elijah passed away, he left behind a cryptic statement. Something about a sinister force working tirelessly to halt the progress of the world itself.

If such a sinister force truly existed, then it had to be unimaginably powerful. So powerful that even the Thalrex Order, with all its advanced weaponry, wouldn't be able to stop its arrival.

Yet, despite all the intelligence gathered so far, too many questions remain unanswered. Old Fred has said that wiping out the Dark Night Alliance might be the key to unveiling the full truth. So, let's take them out first!

Just as Robin was about to doze off, he overheard a conversation from the adjacent seats. Two Draconian women were chatting, and their topic suddenly shifted to Shirley. Their words dripped with hostility. Robin's alertness kicked in instantly.

The first-class cabin only had a handful of seats. The ones talking were two women and a man. Their voices were low, but Robin caught every word. They were in their early 20s.

The woman sitting by the window on the left had introduced herself earlier. Her name was Renata Lentz, a Turian. She had once been a top-tier movie star in Qurgh's entertainment industry.

She had just married into a wealthy family from Lumaysia. Her husband's name was Jareth Longwood the heir of the Longwood Enterprise. This company controlled major maritime shipping routes and dabbled in the jewelry business.

The other woman, Kaiya Zedillo, was the heir of the Lentz Group in Qurgh, a powerful real estate and jewelry empire.

Both women had been Shirley's classmates at Huffurd Business School. Now, they were headed to Centraline to attend the international art exhibition of Sylvan Athrood, the eldest son of the renowned Athrood family.

Sylvan, as it turned out, had also been Shirley's classmate. Robin could tell from their conversation that these two women harbored ill intentions toward Shirley.

The Athroods were Ugonland's most prominent name in the jewelry business, and their manufacturing and distribution channels ranked among the world's finest.

Renata and Kaiya had frequent dealings with Sylvan because of their family ties to the industry.
