The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1193

1193 /1440

"Master Ramsey, please, go with Mr. Neville," Catherine pleaded, her hand gripping Robin's arm tightly. "Maybe ... maybe there's still a chance ... "

Maverick, unable to hold back his tears any longer, added, "Master Ramsey, we've been through so much together! I can't bear the thought of losing you!"

Elliott and Brendon echoed his concern, "Master Ramsey, your pursuit of vengeance has caused trouble everywhere, both at home and abroad. Though they may not show it, many are plotting to end your life.

"Master Ramsey, why not take some time to recover, then plan your next move?" they urged.

Robin placed a firm hand on Maverick and Elliott's shoulders. "The lords always say the most important thing isn't whether you live or die, but how you face it.

"Twenty years ago, the massacre at Dragon Manor wasn't just my personal loss; it was a disgrace to the entire nation!

"They may choose to remain silent, but I cannot!

"If I don't avenge Dragon Manor, how can I call myself a Ramsey?

"To not seek revenge would be to betray my people and dishonor the title of Dragon Lord of Draconia!

"A man must stand firm; how could I live like a coward, avoiding the fight and hiding to survive?

"If I were like those weaklings, forgetting my roots, sacrificing others to avoid conflict, even bowing to the enemy for a false peace ...

"Even if I lived in luxury and comfort, what difference would there be between me and a dog?"

Robin paused, drawing in a deep breath. "I'm Divine Drakebane. I believe I'll survive this. I will not die until my revenge is complete!

"My friends, having known you is the greatest fortune of my life.

"You have shown me that, beyond the lies, treachery, and betrayal in this world, there is something called loyalty and honor.

"Though our time together has been short, this journey was not in vain.

"Now, we must part ways.

"Leave at once! In an hour, those bastards will launch missiles into this area.

"If you still consider me a brother or a friend, you will listen to me."

"Grandpa ... " Jane, in desperation, turned to Tristan. "Do we have any secret remedies left in our family?"

Tristan shook his head helplessly. "Jane, the only Pythoncrown we had was already given to Master Ramsey. As for now ... "

Robin inhaled deeply and sealed his pressure points again. "If you don't leave now, I'll sever all ties with you!"

"Master, I want to stay with you!" Jane cried, clinging to Robin.

Robin managed a faint smile. "I haven't taught you anything, and I'm not worthy of being called your master. Go with your grandfather.

"Tristan, Cassian, are my words not enough?"

"Mr. Ramsey!" Tristan and Cassian bowed deeply. "But, you're—"

"Take them and leave now! Do you want to see them die here too?"

"Okay, Mr. Ramsey!" They had no choice but to comply.

Catherine shook her head bitterly. "Robin, I won't leave! Without you, my life has no meaning!"

Elliott, Maverick, and Brendon spoke up, "Master Ramsey, we'll stay and fight alongside you. We want to find justice for Dragon Manor too!"

"You have to remember, you're not alone anymore. You have me, and Joanna, Marrisa, Brenda, Mrs. Lorelai, and so many friends and brothers who are all waiting for you to come back safely.

"I have nothing left to give her, but please, take this to her. Tell her to live well."

With that, Robin handed Elliott a phone containing an audio recording, a few photos for Shirley, and a leopard-print card.

"Elliott, take them and leave right away!"

Just as they prepared to leave, the sounds of a battle erupted outside the barrier formed by the Nevilles' martial arts masters and Phoenix Vanguard disciples.

Jessiah, Tiago, and Isabella—the remaining three warlords—saw their opportunity to claim the dragon dagger. Having already killed several Neville martial artists and Phoenix Vanguard disciples, they advanced toward Robin, eager to finish the job.
