The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1251

Headquarters of the Dark Syndicate, Rouves Church, Marinaverdin.

Moshe strode quickly up to Caym and bowed deeply. "Dark Lord, Shepherd has agreed to the bombardment of Divine Drakebane.

"I just don't understand—why did you agree to Shepherd's demand to hand over the ancient relic and the Golden Dragon Pendant?"

Caym let out a chilling laugh. Beneath the hood of his black robe, a skull-like face appeared.

"Mr. Moshe," Caym said as he finally stopped laughing and pulled back his black hood.

"The reason I've been able to lead Dark Syndicate to grow stronger and stay hidden in the cracks of this world day by day ...

"It's because I understand our enemies better than they understand themselves.

"To rule the world, one must first master human nature.

"Draconia is like a sleeping dragon. If awakened and enraged, the whole world would tremble in fear.

"But sadly, the dragon is tame.

"The country's civilization is built upon compassion and tolerance.

"Even in the face of extreme provocation, it's difficult to make it truly angry."

"However, once its bottom line is crossed—Tanqueria, HexaPoint Tower, and other powerful opponents will be forced to submit no matter how powerful they are.

"What a pity. If such overwhelming power could fall under the control of our Dark Syndicate ...

"Even without the ancient relic, the Golden Dragon Pendant, or even that super weapon system ... this entire world would still belong to us.

"We wouldn't have to hide for decades, struggling to survive in the shadows, all for the sake of our dream, our belief."

Although Caym spoke with confidence, Moshe still couldn't understand his reasoning.

"But Dark Lord, how does this connect to Shepherd and his request?

Caym let out another booming laugh. "Possessing something valuable can invite trouble.

"If Shepherd kills Drakebane and claims both the ancient relic and the Golden Dragon Pendant, then he will become the focus of every faction's hatred.

"We wouldn't even need to lift a finger to kill Shepherd.

"And once Divine Drakebane is eliminated, we can use the ancient relic to stir up a bloodbath among the world's most powerful martial arts masters.

"Then, we simply sit back and reap their hard work.

"When all sides are exhausted from fighting each other to the death, the followers of Dark Syndicate will rise and strike.

"And when that time comes, the world will be ours for the taking! Hahaha!"

Moshe looked at Caym with awe and respect.

"Dark Lord, you are unmatched in wisdom and strategy.

"The great dream of the Dark Syndicate will surely come true under your leadership."

Caym gave a satisfied chuckle and added, "Moshe, send word immediately to all followers lurking near Simmond. Tell them to get close to Joanna.

"I am certain the Emberleaf Fans are in her possession.

"If we seize the control device for the super weapon system, everything will be under my control.

"Even if Shepherd has the ancient relic, he doesn't know how to use it.

"Only Dragon Lord, Young Lord Dragon and I know how to activate its power.

"Drakebane absorbed the blood of countless super martial arts masters. He is infused with the very essence of heaven and earth, allowing him to connect with past lives.

"The ancient relic and the Golden Dragon Pendant are nothing but useless trinkets in Shepherd's hands."

"Understood, Dark Lord. I will issue the order at once."

...

Meanwhile at Mecria University, Graduate School of Software Engineering.

At Unit 709 of Rosewood Apartments, Joanna was staring at the bronze jewelry box that was holding the Emberleaf Fans with tears in her eyes.

She had just seen news online confirming that Robin was still alive and had immediately reported her safety to Lorelai.

She hadn't been able to reach Robin's phone yet, but Shirley had told her everything that had happened—including that Robin was currently chasing Dark Syndicate operatives near the eastern waters of Draconia.

Knowing that Robin was safe for now eased her worries a little.

Thanks to her expertise in software systems, she had illegally accessed the relevant video tracking networks.
