The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1367

The room's atmosphere shifted, tense and strange.

Robin rose slowly and stepped toward Hacyon.

He stared down at the proud girl before him.

"Which of your eyes saw me as one of the Lightborn Sect?

"If I had any other choice, I'd never waste time in a dump like Netheris!"

"W-what did you say?" Hacyon was confused. "Who are you?"

She instinctively backed up.

Robin sneered and pressed closer to her. "I used to be a legend, unmatched across an entire world. Your petty tricks aren't even worth my time!"

He had sensed eyes on him since entering Hunderra.

Only when he arrived at Varryn's home did he figure out who it was—Varryn's daughter, a naive girl brainwashed by the Dark Syndicate for a decade.

Hearing Robin's confident tone, Hacyon gave a cold smirk.

"If you're not from the Lightborn Sect, then what are you hiding?

"Why did you get close to my father and brother? What's your goal?

"Now my brother's acting just like him—stubborn and misguided. He's headed down a dangerous path.

"I won't let another follower of the Lightborn Sect get anywhere near them. Don't even think about dragging my brother into your mess.

"Do you know why I brought you into the Ninth Syndicate? I don't trust you. I think you're trying to get close to my father and dig into the secrets of the Crownward Syndicate.

"Once the Martial Arts Tournament is over, you're coming with me for questioning.

"If you're truly one of the Lightborn survivors, then you'd better start praying now.

"There are plenty of stubborn souls trapped in Soulforge Tower!"

Hacyon's eyes filled with killing intent. She wasn't just mad—she truly hated the Lightborn Sect.

Robin smiled indifferently. "I wouldn't mind seeing Soulforge Tower for myself. Maybe my soul can outlast the ages."

Hacyon scoffed. "Let's see if you're still talking like that once you're inside. I hope you can keep acting tough.

"And don't try to mess with my brother.

"He's coming with me to the Ninth Syndicate for training. One day, he'll give everything to Netheris."

Robin laughed lightly. "Things won't go the way you want.

"If the day comes when your idol crashes from his pedestal, maybe then you'll realize how blind you've been.

"Your brother isn't going to turn into a puppet like you.

"You don't think for yourself. You've lost who you are. You're just following orders without knowing why you exist."

Hacyon turned cold. "I don't understand what you're talking about!

"Arthur is my brother. I know him better than anyone!

"You're just trying to turn him against our great Dark Syndicate! Dream on!"

Robin saw no point in continuing a conversation with someone who'd never understand.

Hacyon was nothing more than a puppet, blindly following orders.

Saying anything more would be pointless.

Hacyon raised an eyebrow and glanced at Robin.

She felt the same—she had no interest in dealing with someone she found detestable.

"I won't kill you yet. Not until we confirm who you are.

"My father warned me not to touch you. Just don't give me a reason to ignore that."
