The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1423

Benny froze in place, stunned by the wave of armored vehicles rushing toward them.

So this was the terrifying force behind the infamous Divine Drakebane?

Everyone around the world had heard of him.

If it were up to Benny alone, he never would've dared provoke someone like that.

He'd seen clips of Robin online—his unmatched power, his imposing presence.

But Benny always assumed those videos were dramatized acting.

Probably a ploy by some corporate giant trying to generate clicks, or maybe even a smokescreen created by politicians to distract the public.

Because really, how could someone that fearless, that unstoppable, exist in the real world?

He couldn't wrap his head around the idea that a single man, no matter how skilled, could possibly take on a superpower like Autreynia and come out on top.

To Benny, Divine Drakebane was nothing more than a convenient myth—an internet legend.

And he wasn't alone in that. Blaine thought the same.

So when his daughter asked for help acquiring the villa, he agreed without hesitation.

After all, ever since he'd become a professor in Draconia, Blaine had been getting his way under the noble banner of national interest or for the good of humanity.

Even when seducing students, he'd call it a scientific necessity.

Anyone who dared to question his indecency was accused of obstructing the progress and innovation of humanity.

And in a tier-two city like Harmonfield? Snatching a fancy villa wasn't even worth making a fuss over.

Even if the owner was Divine Drakebane himself—so what? It was nothing.

Sure, Robin was powerful—undefeated, even—but he wouldn't harm innocents, right?

And if he refused to cooperate, then everything Robin had done so far in the name of honor and heroism would be called into question.

Benny, through his own sources, confirmed that Blaine and his daughter weren't acting alone. Certain opportunists within Draconia's leadership were backing them.

Verda's little stunt had opened a door. To some, this wasn't just about a villa.

It was about Drakebane's fortune. And more importantly—the light-speed warship parked on Mount Geneva.

The temptation was overwhelming.

Blaine's bold move immediately drew attention from across the globe.

Even nations like Autreynia and Tanqueria began watching closely, hoping this disruption might finally give them a chance to seize the warship for themselves.
