The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1227

Shepherd stood up and glanced around at the leaders of the top 20 families gathered in the conference hall, letting out a light chuckle.

"Gentlemen, do you honestly believe that, with Divine Drakebane returning from the dead, we still have any way out?

"Drakebane has already added us to his list of vengeance.

"This lunatic can't be reasoned with—he doesn't need money, he doesn't need women, and he certainly doesn't need followers.

"A person like him can no longer be considered normal!

"He is the very embodiment of both god and devil!

"A monster like him will never let go of his grudge!

"Because he cares for nothing but one belief: to destroy everyone who has hurt him."

The head of the Vick family, an elite family from the Borealis, sneered. "What do we do then? We'll gladly give him everything—our lives and resources—if only he can let go of the tragedy at Dragon Manor from 20 years ago."

Dorian snorted in disdain. "There's no way a devil like Divine Drakebane will ever abandon his revenge. The likelihood of that happening is on par with the end of the world."

"God, if I had known that Dragon Manor would give birth to such a monster, I wouldn't have participated in that massacre 20 years ago, not even if they made me the god of the world.

"It was a senseless slaughter!

"That bastard Baird—if I ever see him, I'll tear him to pieces!

The head of the Strawn Family from Northern Escea proposed, "Mr. Gilkes, should we seek protection from HexaPoint Tower? Of course, we control enormous capital, so we can offer them a deal."

Shepherd shook his head. "HexaPoint Tower is nothing but a paper tiger.

"If Divine Drakebane can completely disregard a giant like Tanqueria, what other force in the world stands a chance against him?

"Despite HexaPoint Tower often flexing its muscles across the globe, it is merely a bluff meant to project power.

"Look back carefully, gentlemen. Over all these years, the true targets they've crushed are nothing but small territories and local terror organizations.

"All they can do is shout threats and puff out their chests.

"Remember, didn't HexaPoint Tower once drag a dozen or so organizations into a fight with Draconia? And what happened? They ended up defeated!

"Everyone knows who the real tough guy is—it's just that no one says it aloud.

"If Draconia wanted to take over the world, no one could stand against them.

"They may appear weak on the outside, but if you provoke the bottom line of this slumbering giant, it's a hundred times more terrifying than Divine Drakebane."

"Gentlemen, don't forget—Drakebane is the grandson of Dragon Lord and the Palace Ruler of Dragon Manor. That's a symbol of power!

"Most of the forces holding military power are followers of Dragon Manor.

"If Drakebane truly met an unfortunate end, perhaps what happened at Snow Valley would slowly settle down.

"But with Divine Drakebane still alive, it's a completely different story!"

The conference hall of the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance fell into immediate silence.

Everyone understood Shepherd's meaning.

Draconia's primary concern had always been their dignity.

As long as they didn't damage the dignity of Draconia's high-ranking officials, everything could be negotiated.

Once their dignity was violated, they would attack anyone without hesitation.

Even if it meant declaring war on the entire world, they would fear nothing.
