The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1321

At the Moffetts' council hall.

Jupiter, the head of the family, along with the family's strongest members, was discussing how to handle the Nevilles.

Zackie Moffett, the Moffetts' first bodyguard, received a report from a servant. He turned and approached Jupiter, whispering, "We've received word from the Neville Residence.

"Jane refused to hand over the body-strengthening elixir formula, even at the cost of her life. Jake had no other choice but to resort to hypnotic methods.

"His actions are only meant to intimidate.

"But Mr. Shane is actually planning to resort to violence against Ms. Neville.

"They are bringing Miss Jane to his mansion right now."

Jupiter pondered for a moment. "Shane mentioned this to me before; he's always liked Jane.

"If they could end up together, it might not be such a bad thing."

Zackie frowned, then fell silent for a moment before advising, "What I mean is, we should be careful and avoid provoking the other families from the ancient martial arts world."

Bowen Moffett, sitting on one side, snorted coldly. "Shane likes a woman—what do those families have to gossip about?

"Even if they're dissatisfied, so what?

"Now, with our strength and prosperity, who dares to challenge us? We settle things with our fists!"

The speaker was Bowen, the Moffetts' eldest son and Shane's father, a top-ten super martial arts master in the ancient martial arts world.

Hearing this, Zackie was about to stay silent.

But after a moment of hesitation, he spoke up. "Mr. Jupiter, Mr. Bowen, we can disregard the dissatisfaction of certain families, but we must not forget Ms. Neville's connection to Divine Drakebane.

"If we anger that cursed figure, the Moffetts could face total annihilation!"

The Moffetts' council hall fell completely silent.

All the elders and super martial arts masters in the family understood the gravity of Zackie's words.

If the Moffetts went too far and the illusionary traps couldn't stop Divine Drakebane, the day he arrived would be the day the Moffetts were wiped out.

Zackie continued, "Mr. Shane is already engaged to Ms. Lesnar.

"If the Lesnars find out about this, it could cause even more trouble.

"The Lesnars' current strength is no weaker than the Moffetts.

"Now is a crucial time for the Moffetts. Please be cautious and avoid making too many enemies."

Jupiter nodded. "Zackie, you've made a good point. Bring Shane here. I need to speak with him."

"Heh!" A man in black robes standing next to Bowen sneered, cutting off Jupiter. "No wonder the Moffetts have always been below the Nevilles all these years!

"It seems you've grown used to being the obedient second-tier family, rather than having the boldness of a first family!

"How can the Nevilles, already captives, be untouchable?

"And Divine Drakebane, does he really plan to turn the entire ancient martial arts world against him for the Nevilles?"

Zackie responded coldly, "Moshe, if your Dark Syndicate isn't afraid of Divine Drakebane, why did you all flee from Rouves Island?

"You've come here, trying to provoke Mr. Jupiter into such a dangerous move. What's your real goal?

"You're obviously trying to stir discord within the ancient martial arts world and use the Nevilles' situation to bring the flames of war to our doorstep."

"Outrageous!" Bowen slammed his hand down on the table. "This is a meeting of the Moffetts. What right do you, a mere bodyguard, have to interfere?"

Everyone fell into complete silence.

The family elders all knew Zackie's position within the family.

It was thanks to him that the Moffetts had maintained their place as the second most powerful family in the ancient martial arts world.
