The fourth floor of the Westeria Intelligence Bureau in Brookhaven was filled with angry shouts from Catherine, Elliott, and the others.
"Zayn, this is your last chance!" Catherine was so angry that she began tearing up.
"If you dare harm Master Ramsey's family and friends, his followers will surely tear you apart!
"By then, not even the higher-ups can save you!
"Grandpa, who is resting in peace, would be very disappointed in you for being so incompetent!
"Master Ramsey has spared you several times. If it weren't for his respect for Grandpa and his peers, you would have been dead long ago!
"Let me out now ... "
Zayn trembled violently at her words, and his eyes were filled with horror.
He understood what Catherine meant.
Although Robin had been confirmed dead in the Snow Dragon Pool, the followers he had saved would seek revenge, and once they did, it would be something he couldn't bear.
Just one Dark Web Assassin could bring about his downfall.
Seeing that Zayn was hesitating, Vladimir advised him, "Mr. Zayn, there is nothing to worry about.
"Ms. McKay sounded unrealistic. This world is always centered around personal interests.
"Robin is dead. Without their leader, his followers—who were once devoted to him—would never risk their lives for a dead man, no matter how strong they are.
"Those who make a living in the World of Darkness live only for profit. A common goal and profits are the only things that unite them—nothing more.
"Once Robin is dead, they will scatter.
"The same can be said about Lord Westeria's situation.
"When someone dies, everything will diminish into nothingness.
"What's more, when a person dies, there is no reason for anyone to act emotionally and do things out of compassion.
"Unless they want to settle a family feud, no one would risk his or her life just to stand up for someone not related to them by blood. How many people in this world would do that without expecting anything in return?
"What we should do now is to catch everyone close to Robin.
"We will make them reveal Robin's crimes.
"Then, we will expose his crimes to the public.
"We need to let the whole world know that Robin is a brutal and ruthless villain.
"By the time all the righteous forces in the world banish everything and everyone related to Robin, no one in the World of Darkness would dare to speak up for him.
"We should immediately interrogate Daphne and Rita.
"Make them write down the evidence of Robin's crimes.
"Robin's fiancée, Shirley, and Vera are our key targets for investigation.
"Mr. Zayn, if you are in no position to execute those tasks, I am more than willing to handle this on your behalf."
Zayn sank into silence. Then, he said, "I will personally conduct the interrogation.
"Or else, no one would acknowledge the result. After all, I represent Westeria Residence now."
Vladimir nodded amicably. "Yes, Mr. Zayn, as the newly appointed Lord Westeria of Westeria Residence, you must show some results.
"If you can uncover critical evidence about Robin's crimes from Daphne and Shirley, you could establish yourself in the upper echelons.
"People like Elliott, Maverick, and Brendon are descendants of royalty, but they simply mingle among the martial arts society. They will never become major figures.
"Once Robin's crimes are exposed, they will also be implicated.
