The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040 Are You Trying to Bring Disaster? 

Finished 

As Robin and the others left the interrogation hall of the Inspection Bureau, a sleek Mercedes–Benz pulled up. Daphne and Rita Clayton stepped out. 

“Mr. Ramsey, please get in,” Daphne said. 

Without hesitation, Robin and his companions entered the car. 

Daphne pointed toward a modest restaurant at the nearby intersection. “Mr. Ramsey, ever since you returned to the country, you’ve been constantly on the move, barely stopping to rest or cat. 

“I’ve reserved a private dining room in that restaurant ahead. It’s quiet, the atmosphere is pleasant, and they serve exquisite traditional cuisine. 

“I know you don’t like crowded places, so I found a spot that suits your taste.” 

Robin nodded. “Sounds good. Joanna’s had a long day–she could use a break.” 

Shirley leaned in closer, resting against Robin like a contented cat. She hadn’t spent much time with him lately and longed to be near him. 

Feeling her warmth, Robin instinctively glanced at her. She was gazing at him with a dreamy expression, lost in thought. 

If they were alone, she would have thrown herself into his arms without hesitation, just to feel his embrace. 

Seeing her so absorbed, Robin suddenly felt the urge to tease her. He reached out and gently pinched her soft, flushed cheek. 

Startled out of her thoughts, Shirley gasped as her face turned an even deeper shade of red. 

She glanced around quickly and let out a sigh of relief when she confirmed that no one in the back row had noticed. 

Shirley shot Robin a furious look, but he only responded with a smile. 

Once he had avenged everyone responsible for the Dragon Manor massacre, he planned to take Shirley, Joanna, and the rest of his loved ones to Qacalisle Island. 

From that moment on, they would leave behind the corruption of the outside world and embrace a life of freedom and peace. 

As they settled into their private room, a news broadcast playing on the wall–mounted television caught their attention. 

After giving their testimonies, Wesson and Tracy were involved in a fatal car crash on their way home. All four passengers in the vehicle instantly died. 

Following an investigation, traffic authorities determined that the driver, who worked for the Anti- Corruption Division, had been operating the vehicle while being severely fatigued from working overtime the night before.

Zev Field, the family’s head, glared at his brother with a harsh expression and said coldly, “Eugene, I’ve warned you over and over again–stay cautious in political circles. Don’t meddle in unnecessary affairs, and avoid getting involved with questionable women! 

“Especially women like Tracy, who are constantly surrounded by scandals! 

“I got you into the system because I wanted you to build a solid reputation, not make a mess of everything! 

“In Brighton’s political world, you have to be extremely careful. Once someone gets dirt on you, no one- not even the gods–can save you. 

“I shudder just thinking about what happened today. If Robin hadn’t shown restraint, Wesson and Tracy wouldn’t be the only ones dead right now!” 

Eugene trembled. “Zev, they … ” 

Zev sighed heavily. “We’re not bringing this up again. From now on, stay far away from these disgraceful 

matters! 

“Give me a list of all the women you’ve been involved with, along with any untrustworthy people you associate with. I’ll have my men handle them. 

“I’ll take care of these unstable elements for you, but this kind of situation must never happen again. 

“And especially that Robin–stay away from him. He’s not someone you can afford to provoke. 

“Have you forgotten what happened to the Fioris and the Sontags? Robin crushed them completely. 

“I have no idea who’s backing him, but the fact that he can stir up trouble in Brighton without anyone daring to touch him speaks volumes about his power. 

“Based on the analysis, Robin is likely connected to someone high up in the Dragon Palace–possibly Levi. 

“Whatever the case, don’t cross him again! If you do, you won’t just be risking your life–the entire Fields could end up like the Fioris and Sontags, beyond redemption!” 

Eugene smirked. “Zev, aren’t you exaggerating a bit? I heard that before the martial tournament, the higher- ups demanded a strong performance. 

“Robin only got recruited by Commander Baxter because of his combat skills–maybe because he showed some talent in leading a team. 

“You saw it yourself. Once the tournament ended, the Special Operations Military Region kicked him out without hesitation. 

“That alone proves he doesn’t have any real backing. Commander Baxter brought him in temporarily for convenience. He was just being used. 

“That’s enough to conclude that Robin has no real connections.” 

Zev shook his head in frustration. “With how narrow–minded you are, I honestly don’t know how you’ve managed to survive in the inspection system for this long. 

“Do you seriously believe that Robin was being used? 

“Do you think the Special Operations Military Region is as easy to get into as your Inspection Bureau, where

anyone with a few connections can slip in? 

“There are plenty of skilled fighters in this country, so why did Hunter specifically choose Robin? Have you ever known about the people around him? 

“He’s connected to the heirs from Northlorn Residence, Westeria Residence, and Southville Residence 

“You should be grateful that today’s incident didn’t escalate. If it had, those royal families would have torn down your entire Inspection Bureau!” 

Eugene scoffed. “Zev, those so–called heirs are just kids. In serious matters like this, the older generation sill holds the real power.” 

Zev exhaled sharply. “I don’t care what you think. Just remember this–never interfere with Robin again. If you do, I’ll lock you in the house and strip you of all your official responsibilities! 

Before he could say another word, the director of the Inspection Bureau invited him out. 

Meanwhile, Melissa and Eugene’s daughter, Yvonne, stepped out of the room. 

Yvonne was a student at Brighton University, studying in the same department as Joanna 

Seeing them approach, Eugene frowned. “You both heard everything, didn’t you? You nearly dragged me into Joanna’s mess!” 

Yvonne’s voice turned icy. “Dad, I can’t stand Joanna! 

“Every time Cadoc comes to campus, he always wants to visit Joanna’s lab. She must be seducing him! 

“I don’t care what it takes–I’ll ruin her reputation!” 

“Enough nonsense!” Eugene snapped. “Do you want to bring disaster upon our family?” 

Melissa smiled. “Uncle Eugene, don’t you think you’re overreacting? 

“Mr. Zayn and Michelle also despise Robin. 

“Think about it–if you manage to take down Robin and Joanna, how do you think Mr. Zayn will treat you? 

“With his support, you wouldn’t have to be afraid of Robin!”
