The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1131

Robin let out a fake smile, which seemed more mocking than genuine. Shania tensed up suddenly.

She never imagined that a casual promise made on Qacalisle Island would cause such a huge uproar.

Instinctively, she pushed Ceana forward, quickly racking her mind on how to handle the situation.

Ceana, too, hadn't expected a nobody like her to be thrust into the spotlight.

When she came face-to-face with Robin—a man exuding such overwhelming dominance—she was horrified.

But after a moment's shock, she regained her composure quickly.

Thinking about her Uncle Neasan's words, she felt more confident.

Mr. Coyle had told Ms. Coyle to handle the situation, which meant her company wasn't afraid of this man.

What was Nine Stars, anyway?

In Elaria, this company was practically a god-like force!

With that thought, Ceana felt her courage soar.

In an instant, she stood tall, puffing her chest out arrogantly, staring Robin down coldly.

Hmph! This j*rk thinks he can extort Nine Stars for 100 billion? What a joke!

At that moment, Ceana felt like a warrior, brimming with power and confidence.

She stood tall, as if declaring her dominion over the world.

"You! Don't you dare try anything foolish!" Ceana trembled as she pointed at Robin, scolding him.

"This is Nine Stars Group!

"If you dare do anything illegal, o-our legal team will take legal action against you!

"Yes, yes, we'll sue you!

"Ms. Coyle already said that if you have a signed contract, our company will not go back on our words.

"Otherwise, we will not pay a penny!

"Our legal team consists of the best lawyers in the world.

"I-if they dare use fraudulent or coercive methods, they will have a thousand ways to make sure you rot in prison for the rest of your life!"

Ceana's words brought the previously silent exhibition hall back to life.

Some of the wealthy guests from powerful families shook their heads and whispered in disdain.

"Does this kid really think he can scam Nine Stars? Is he delusional?"

"Ms. Donohuei is right; this is a society ruled by law. How can we let him maliciously extort someone? He's gone too far!"

"He doesn't think Nine Stars is some small-time operation, does he? Hahaha."

As Ceana heard the surrounding praise, her confidence grew, even to the point where she felt a little smug.

To be able to make such an impression on the first day of Shania's tenure as the CEO, as she acted as the head secretary, was quite the accomplishment.

Now, with the approval of some of the wealthiest guests, she felt invincible.

Currently, she no longer felt any fear.

With the approval of the guests and the support of her uncle, there was nothing to fear.

This guy was just a fraud, after all. What was there to be afraid of?

Ceana's confidence soared, and facing Robin, she grew even more forceful.

"What do you think you're doing? Without a contract, do you expect us to pay you 100 billion?

"If everyone acted like you, this company would be bankrupt in two days!

"This is extortion, you know? Deception and extortion carry legal consequences!"

Robin furrowed his brow; this woman was an idiot, wasn't she?

He could tell that Ceana was getting more and more hyped up, as if she had taken something that was making her hallucinate.

Delusional mode activated. She's gone mad!

"Ms. Coyle's secretary is not bad," someone said.

The cold, menacing look in Robin's eyes made a pang of regret creep into Shania's thoughts.

Had she really made a mistake?

The suffocating feeling of helplessness before this man was overwhelming.

In this moment, she didn't know how to respond.

Ceana, caught up in her triumph, suddenly realized Robin had moved behind her.

She quickly spun to block his path and exclaimed, "I'm talking to you! Did you hear me? If you would rather not end up in prison, leave now!"

"Get lost!" Robin frowned and slapped Ceana, sending her flying. "What are you hopping around like a clown for?

"I don't even bother to deal with trash like you! Hilarious, thinking you're someone important!

"Keep talking, and I'll kill you!"

The room fell into complete silence.

Everyone stared in horror at Ceana, who was now a bloodied mess.

Ceana's face was distorted.

Her golden, voluminous hair was now matted with blood and flesh.

In the dazzling lights of the hall, Robin's cold silhouette only made the situation more chilling.

Everyone realized that this was far more serious than they had imagined.

Shania staggered backward, letting out a terrified scream, "How could you hit a woman?"

"A woman?" Robin scoffed.

"Women have been preaching world peace and gender equality for years. What's the difference between men and women now?

"Does being a woman mean you can act however you want, break the rules?

"When it comes to doing right or wrong, there's only a difference between humans and animals, not men and women.

"If you dare deceive, you better be prepared to face the consequences!"
