The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1141

The crowd outside reacted violently upon learning of the police's orders.

"You police are inhumane!"

"If you take such action, you might end up hurting the hostage!"

"You're not rescuing her; you're slaughtering people!"

The police had no choice but to send the majority of their forces to maintain order at the scene.

Eoran did not back down, despite the public opposition. He still gave the order to deploy snipers and take swift action.

He wanted to end this quickly, get rid of Drakebane, and complete the mission.

Eoran believed that, no matter how powerful Divine Drakebane was, he wouldn't be able to withstand the force of modern firearms.

However, the 15 snipers positioned on the high-rise buildings around the hotel, upon receiving their orders, did not immediately open fire on Drakebane as Eoran had expected.

Instead, all 15 of the top snipers were strangely bound up like zombies and suspended in mid-air.

Their sniper rifles were all thrown in front of Eoran.

The policemen approached this with caution; all of them took cover behind any available barriers.

At that moment, Eoran finally understood. The legendary, elusive Dark Web assassins had always been around Divine Drakebane, protecting him.

They weren't just facing Divine Drakebane; they were up against 2,000 Dark Web killers.

An entire Enforcer unit could not outmatch a single assassin from the World of Darkness, one of the most elite killing organizations.

This formidable opponent was far beyond the capabilities of the Sogas Enforcers.

For the first time in his 20 years as a police officer, Eoran felt powerless.

The crowd began to jeer.

As tensions rose, many emotional onlookers started throwing eggs, lettuce, stones, and other objects at the police.

The rescue operation descended into chaos.

The police's clumsy performance had turned into a mockery.

Just as they were feeling the pressure, a convoy arrived at the scene.

Conall was leading the group, accompanied by Roscoe Decker, Director of International Relations for Draconia, and a negotiation expert from Elaria.

When Eoran saw Conall, he immediately approached and said, "General Donohuei, this rescue mission is proving to be very difficult. Divine Drakebane's abilities are far too strong, and there's the added assistance of the Dark Web assassins.

"These kinds of violent individuals, unless we mobilize the military and use heavy weapons, we won't be able to complete the rescue."

Roscoe snorted dismissively and said, "Even if we send Elaria's most powerful task force, it won't help! Divine Drakebane doesn't even need a hostage as leverage.

"His goal here is to escalate the situation, to let the whole world see his determination to get revenge on the killers from his past!

"Divine Drakebane has said that he will take revenge on all those who conspired to kill him, showing them that he is untouchable!

"His motto is simple: he would harm anyone who moved to oppose him. He'll wipe out those who mess with him!'

"So I warn you all that you must show respect to Mr. Drakebane!

"If you anger him, this tiny country will be wiped off the map in five minutes!"

Eoran, irritated, responded sharply, "Mr. Decker, are you threatening us?"

Roscoe chuckled coldly. "This isn't a threat; it's a serious warning. Chief Nolani, you can test it if you don't believe me!"

"Before you can do that, you'll already be the world's laughingstock!"

The officer retorted, "General Donohuei, as a police officer and soldier, how can we fear battle?"

Conall snorted coldly, "Empty boasting with no power behind it! Step back!"

Uallas tried to argue further, but Eoran immediately intervened.

Conall pointed to a man standing beside him. "Chief Nolani, this is Taraghlan Macginnisi, the president of Elaria's Martial Association.

"Mr. Macginnisi is here on the orders of Teal House to negotiate with Divine Drakebane.

"Mr. Keegan has confessed to being involved in the Dragon Manor's massacre. He is willing to accept Divine Drakebane's duel for his revenge.

"This has nothing to do with national or public interests. Don't make matters more complicated!"

...

Conall, Guaire, and Taraghlan entered the Sogas Hotel and reached the door of the presidential suite.

"Mr. Ramsey, I'm Conall Donohuei. I've come to discuss the issue of Nine Stars Group and bring you a letter of challenge from Dubh.

"Mr. Keegan is waiting for you at the top of Kirie Mountain.

"He has confessed that he participated in the massacre for the sake of your dragon dagger.

"The upcoming duel—if you win, the dagger will stay, and you will leave Elaria unharmed.

"If he loses, he'll bow before the victims of Dragon Manor and take his life!"

"Dubh is still honorable!" Robin walked out of the room and commanded, "Prepare the helicopter. We're heading to Kirie Mountain. I'm going to kill Dubh!"
