The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1160

In the presidential suite of the Sogas Hotel, Daphne and Rita stood in front of Robin, their bags packed and ready to go.

"Mr. Ramsey, everything is ready!"

Robin glanced at his watch. "Our next destination is Borealis in Ugonland. I'm going to crush the Dark Night Alliance!

"Those b*stards always operate from the shadows. They were behind the Dragon Manor massacre 20 years ago. I won't rest until Baird is finished!"

Standing nearby, Vera hesitated before saying, "Robin, I want to go with you."

He shook his head. "You shouldn't get involved in this violent world. You have your responsibilities.

"Take advantage of this opportunity. I heard Draconia is introducing free healthcare. This is a chance for you and other medical professionals to make a real difference."

Vera's lips curled slightly. "By the time we're back, it'll probably already be free."

At that moment, Shania stepped forward with a folder in hand.

"Mr. Ramsey, I've prepared the proposal for acquiring Caffepan's global patent rights. Please review it."

Robin didn't take it. "There's no need. You and Vera can handle this." He rose from his seat and headed for the door.

Vera quickly followed him and whispered, "Robin, before you leave Elaria, can you ... visit her?"

Robin paused, understanding the silent plea in Vera's eyes. She wanted him to help Alice.

...

The sky drizzled with a gentle, melancholic rain.

In a worn-down house on the outskirts of Sogas, Alice and Innis were busy sorting through the returned Caffepan drugs that had been released after the court's order.

Innis' eyes sparkled as she looked at the medication. "Alice, I can't shake the feeling that something strange happened with our case.

"I thought we were doomed—that we'd rot away in prison. I never imagined such a miracle would save us.

"This world is full of kindness. Someone defended us before the verdict, and even Valysar Lab withdrew their lawsuit!

"I heard Valysar Lab's boss is ruthless, only chasing profits without caring about the consumers. Why would they back down today?"

Alice stayed quiet, her emotions in turmoil.

If not for Robin, they would already be headed to a dark and hopeless cell. Winning the case was a relief, but the future remained uncertain once their supply ran out.

Setting the medicines aside, Alice gazed out the window at the dim, rainy world. In her mind, only Robin's image remained.

She could still hear his voice from their first meeting. "You're my fiancée."

The memory was like a blade twisting in her heart.

A year had passed since then.

Alice could have lived a blissful life. But her vanity and greed had destroyed that chance.

She had let happiness slip through her fingers, breaking it herself.

Now, any dream of being with Robin had vanished.

She knew this might be the last time. She'd let those once-beautiful dreams rest quietly in her heart.

With a deep sigh, Alice turned back toward the room.

"Alice, are you there?"

A voice from outside stopped her in her tracks.

It was a voice she knew so well—Vera's. Her closest friend from another lifetime.

It had been so long since they'd spoken.

Her entire body felt like it was being consumed by an army of tiny, biting ants.

In the darkness, she felt a strong hand pull her back from the edge of the abyss.

Every part of her body felt like it was being torn apart, as if thousands of tiny ants were biting into her bones.

Just when the pain seemed unbearable, a wave of relief washed over her, and the agonizing sensation vanished in an instant.

"Alice, how do you feel?"

Alice's eyelids fluttered open, and she saw Vera gently dabbing the sweat from her forehead.

She pushed herself up, her gaze drifting to the door.

Outside, the soft drizzle tapped rhythmically against the world, but the tall figure she longed to see was already gone.

"Robin used the Eighteen Spirit Needles on you," Vera explained. "Your illness should be healed now."

Vera knew that Alice was looking for Robin. "From now on, you'll manage Caffepan with Nine Stars and Shania. Each bottle is worth 200 dollars!"

Alice was stunned. It felt too good to be true.

"It's real," Vera added. "Robin set everything up for you."

Tears brimmed in Alice's eyes as the truth sank in.

Without a second thought, she bolted out of the room, not even bothering to put on her shoes.

As the car vanished into the distance, Robin's steadfast and gentle silhouette lingered in Alice's mind.

"Robin, I'm sorry!"

Alice fell to the ground, her tears blending with the light rain, washing away the remnants of her broken dream.
