The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1127

Rita picked up a few scattered bottles of Glenin medication from the ground and handed them to Robin. "Mr. Robin, these fell from Alice. Do you want me to check them?"

Robin looked at the expensive, life-saving drugs and let out a silent sigh. "No need."

"Mr. Drakebane." Thorne stood respectfully outside the car window. "Should we notify the Drug Regulatory Bureau?"

"No." Robin checked the time. "I came to Sogas for one reason—to settle a debt with Nine Stars Group. Nothing else."

"A debt?" Thorne thought he had misheard.

He was well aware of Nine Stars Group's power. Even three or four Valysar Labs combined couldn't match half of its influence.

Yet Robin was now claiming that Nine Stars Group owed him?

That had to be a staggering sum—enough to warrant Robin's involvement.

Nine Stars Group was shrouded in mystery. Rumor had it that Elaria's legendary Grandmaster, Dubh, had deep ties to them.

Dubh was a milestone figure in Elaria's martial arts world, on par with Sakurania's Elijah—both were icons of Southeast Aurientia's martial arts pinnacle.

If Robin went head-to-head with Nine Stars Group, there was a real chance he would draw out Dubh, who had been in seclusion for the past 20 years.

"Mr. Drakebane, is it Nine Stars Group's Mr. Coyle who owes you?" Thorne probed cautiously.

"Half a month ago, I saved Kendrick's life." Robin slipped the Glenin bottles into his pocket and lifted his gaze to the towering Nine Stars Group headquarters in the distance.

"Shania agreed to help build a medical service system worth hundreds of billions of dollars for Qacalisle Island. But she didn't keep her promise."

Thorne was stunned.

Shania, the eldest daughter of a financial empire, had dared to deceive Robin.

The Coyles were playing with fire.

Even an entire nation like Sakurania wouldn't dare challenge Robin, yet Nine Stars Group—a mere corporation worth a few hundred billion—dared to provoke him?

Was Shania looking to destroy herself? Or perhaps she didn't truly understand how terrifying Robin was.

Since her rise to power, she had always been arrogant and domineering, never giving anyone face.

And why would she? She was the eldest daughter of the Coyles, and Kendrick, the head of the family, adored her.

He had publicly stated multiple times that he intended to hand the entire Coyle empire over to her.

Since taking the position of Executive Vice President, Shania had ruled over the Coyles' senior management with an iron fist.

Many of the Coyles' founding members and influential figures in Elaria tolerated her harshness out of respect for Kendrick's authority. The lower-level employees, however, were full of resentment toward her.

But now, she had crossed someone like Robin. Shania's luck might have just run out.

Others bowed to Kendrick's power and put up with her tyranny, but Robin wasn't the type to indulge her.

She had bargained with a hundred-billion-dollar medical system for Kendrick's life, only to go back on her word.

Now, she was in serious trouble.

Thorne could already sense Robin's patience wearing thin. Shania had made an enemy out of the wrong man.

He decided to follow along—he needed to see how Shania planned to handle this.

The towering Nine Stars Group building stood in the heart of Sogas' busiest district. As the city's most iconic landmark, it symbolized the prestige and power of this international metropolis.

That morning, the Nine Stars Group's board of directors had officially announced Shania's promotion to Executive President.

To mark the occasion, the company was hosting an international biotechnology conference in its grand exhibition hall.

Many within the family were watching her every move, waiting for her to slip.

If she wanted to solidify her authority within Nine Stars Group, she had a long road ahead.

With Bran's support, however, her path would be much smoother.

After all, power at the top ultimately depended on true strength.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Glenns." Shania's delicate features softened into a coy smile, momentarily stunning both Bran and the surrounding guests.

Seeing the usually aloof heiress display such warmth was a rare privilege.

Just then, Ceana Donohuei, the company's chief secretary, hurried over to Shania.

Shania's expression stiffened, and she immediately gestured for her bodyguards to clear some space.

"Ms. Coyle, we have news from Qacalisle Island." Ceana leaned in and spoke in a low voice. "Our intelligence team just sent word—Mr. Ramsey might already be in Sogas. The rumor is that he's here to collect on the promise you made regarding the Qacalisle Island cruise project."

Shania's brows furrowed slightly. "He's already in Sogas?"

"Yes, Ms. Shania," Ceana confirmed. "There are also reports that a series of major incidents in Sakurania over the past few days might be connected to him."

Shania tensed. "What happened in Sakurania?"

Bran, sensing the shift in the atmosphere, asked, "Ms. Coyle, is something wrong?"

Ceana hesitated briefly before answering, "Mr. Glenns, Ms. Shania had a conflict with someone named Robin some time ago ... And now, he's here in Sogas."

She took a breath and continued, "According to reports, this man single-handedly wiped out the Clerys and the Rivers, destroyed the Northern Star Sword School, and even took down three entire Air Force and Navy units in Sakurania ... "

Bran suddenly burst into laughter. "Ms. Donohuei, are you writing a fantasy novel? Come on, how could anyone be that powerful? If I ever meet this so-called legend, I'd love to see if he's as impressive as the rumors say! Hahaha!"
