The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1187

On a secluded island deep in the waters of the South Panacea Ocean, an urgent meeting was taking place.

Inside the grand conference hall of the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance headquarters, Shepherd drummed his fingers anxiously against the polished wooden table, the rhythmic tapping echoing through the silent room.

"Gentlemen, an extraordinary situation has unfolded in Snow Valley!

"The Four Warlords that ruled the World of Darkness 50 years ago made their appearance in Snow Valley. After vanishing without a trace for half a century, they have suddenly reemerged in Borealis.

"This revelation is even more shocking than Divine Drakebane's sudden rise!

"For these four ancient powerhouses to resurface after so long—it can't just be about that short dagger in Divine Drakebane's possession!

"Rumors claim the dagger is an ancient relic of legend, but aside from its supposed bloodthirsty properties, there's nothing particularly special about it."

Seated across the table, Dorian, leader of the Dark Eagle faction, nodded thoughtfully. "That's right. That dagger is nothing more than a fabricated tale!

"I'd bet anything this story was crafted by Shadow, one of Dragon Slayer's most trusted guards.

"Using tactics straight out of Baird's playbook, Shadow has been spinning this myth for 20 years—all for the sake of avenging those who perished in the massacre at Dragon Manor.

"But the real ancient relic must be wherever the Four Warlords are.

"Fifty years ago, an earthquake shook the entire World of Darkness. It wasn't just a natural disaster—it was triggered by these four old warriors.

"And what triggered the battle was the legendary relic—an artifact said to grant its wielder the power to become a god.

"Half a century ago, those same warlords, along with other top martial artists from the World of Darkness, ventured into Snow Valley.

"What exactly happened there? No one knows.

"But one thing is clear—over the past year, countless rumors have linked the relic to the dagger in Divine Drakebane's hands.

"If that were really the case, those four should have shown up much sooner. Why wait until now?

"I suspect their true objective lies within Snow Valley itself."

The 20 noble family leaders seated around the table exchanged uncertain glances, their voices rising in quiet discussion.

"We don't give a damn about some ancient artifact. We're businessmen—we want wealth, power, and an easy life."

"To hell with it! Why is Divine Drakebane even here, stirring up this mess?"

"Do you think the Four Warlords will take him down the moment they see him?"

"Honestly, it doesn't matter who does it—as long as someone kills Divine Drakebane, we can finally breathe easy!"

Shepherd surveyed the room, his gaze meeting Dorian's in silent agreement.

"Baird of the Dark Syndicate has been hiding in Snow Valley for 20 years. If he had only been waiting for Divine Drakebane, he would have made his move already. No—there's something else at play here.

"Still, speculation won't change our objective. There's only one thing we need to focus on—killing Divine Drakebane.

"His journey to Snow Valley is our best opportunity to get rid of him.

"If we let this devil escape, he'll come after the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance next, and then it will be us fighting for survival.

"At this moment, Captain Dermont and Blake have almost no chance of either stealing the dragon dagger or eliminating Divine Drakebane in Snow Valley.

"No matter which one of the super martial art masters emerge with the ancient relic on Snow Valley, it's bound to be a disaster."

A dark glint entered Dorian's eyes. He leaned back in his chair, a smirk tugging at his lips. "That may be true ... but we don't have to get our hands dirty. Why not let others do the work for us?
