The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1276

The hall at Grimvarn Isle was unusually quiet, the atmosphere heavy with tension.

The chaos Robin had just caused left everyone in the room stunned, struggling to find the right words.

This was the first time they had encountered the infamous Divine Drakebane.

The man before them paid no attention to the usual rules of diplomacy.

At a meeting like this, no one expected to see such an outburst of violence over a mere disagreement.

Shepherd, the host of the negotiations, felt his eyelid twitch uncontrollably.

He exchanged a nervous glance with the two other representatives from influential families before gathering the courage to speak. "Divine Drakebane, I'm Shepherd from the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance.

"Being here today means there's still room for negotiation.

"Regardless of the final outcome, I ask that you respect the norms of international diplomacy.

"Let's keep this conversation peaceful and avoid using force."

"Norms? Who created these ‘norms'?" Robin raised an eyebrow, narrowing his gaze at Shepherd.

Shepherd immediately felt unnerved by the fierce look in Robin's eyes.

"Well ... these are international customs. Negotiations should focus on finding common ground while respecting differences, not escalating tensions.

"Let's sit down and discuss things. Let's set aside past grudges for now."

"Set aside grudges?" Robin pointed first at Morgan, then at Shepherd.

"If simply talking could resolve everything, there would be no wars, no armies!

"Just like this useless man!

"Entering our waters illegally and refusing to leave, and all I've done is give them a few harsh words—yet they still refuse to go.

"People like this, who ignore reason, need a good beating to understand who's in charge!

"And you, all talk about rules, but you break them in secret.

"Twenty years ago, you attacked Dragon Manor—was that part of your ‘rules' too?"

Shepherd took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. "Divine Drakebane, today ... we are here with sincerity, offering our apology for the Dragon Manor incident.

"Please, sit down and calm down. We will go through everything carefully and find a solution."

"Fine!" Robin nodded.

"Let's sit and talk! If that doesn't work, don't just talk—let's handle it with violence!"

Robin pointed at Shepherd, then walked over to sit beside Jethro.

Simmond and Garren remained silent, simply sitting at the table.

The other representatives exchanged uneasy glances, puzzled as to why Mecria had sent these two with Robin.

Shepherd had been informed that Divine Drakebane didn't have a super weapon system.

Has Mecria struck a secret deal with Robin?

The tension in the room was palpable as the negotiations began.

Shepherd spoke again, "Divine Drakebane, we've invited you and General Quintana here—"

Robin raised a hand, cutting him off. "My matters with your Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance can wait for later.

"That's a life-or-death issue, and when it's time to discuss it, everything will end right there. No need to discuss anything else!
