The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1436

The actions of Pierre and Kelsey left everyone on Coastal Avenue stunned.

The white-haired man and his family looked, at first glance, like any ordinary family living on Qacalisle Island.

Their car, their clothes—everything about them seemed utterly average.

Before the altercation, their behavior was quiet and humble to the point of insignificance.

In fact, one could even say they are downright humble—almost pitifully so.

They didn't hold even a fraction of the presence that even a low-level official on the island might display.

And yet—no one could've imagined—that the two most powerful people on the island would now be bowing to this very man.

The crowd couldn't help but whisper in awe.

Petty tyrants flaunt their power to crush the weak, but those who are truly kind and capable never need to show off.

They move like still waters—deep and quiet—never using their strength to trouble others.

Some longtime residents of Qacalisle Island still remembered what happened when Kelsey first became chief manager.

Back then, a new island owner had overthrown the old aristocratic slaveholders and appointed Kelsey, a commoner, to take charge as chief manager.

He poured massive resources into the island, bringing in world-class management, economic, and legal experts with the dream of turning it into a paradise of freedom, harmony, and safety.

But after the new island owner was rumored to have died, the island's political climate changed overnight.

Originally a commoner, Kelsey completely transformed her management style upon taking over.

Though she still spoke in the name of public service, her actions began to mirror—and even surpass—the worst of the old elite.

The founding principles of fairness, justice, and the rule of law became nothing but empty slogans.

Her family rose overnight into the island's most powerful family.

Close allies of the Pierpoints seized control of key sectors of the government, exploiting tax schemes to drain the citizens' resources.

Under false pretenses, they seized control of legal private enterprises.

Welfare programs—once pillars of education, healthcare, eldercare, and social support—were reduced to tools for squeezing the people.

In this environment, the Pierpoints ruled unchecked.

For three years, countless stories of injustice and humiliation were buried under their oppressive regime.

On Qacalisle Island, the initially budding atmosphere of harmony and rule of law quickly dissolved, turning into a free-for-all playground for scoundrels and bullies.

Many investors pulled out one after another.

People were desperate to escape—even if it meant leaving without a single cent.

The prosperity and hope that once filled the island vanished overnight, leaving behind only silence, helplessness, and despair.

Incidents like driving in traffic and causing crashes have happened many times before.

Actions like those of the white-haired man and his family were essentially seen as courting disaster.

Going up against the Pierpoints was considered suicide.

But this time, the outcome caught everyone completely off guard.

Not only was Lennox beaten by this white-haired man, but the man actually ordered Pierre to kill him on the spot.

And Kelsey didn't dare stop it.

In fact, she was respectful to the point of reverence.

Now, everyone's curiosity was piqued.

Robin didn't answer Kelsey's question.

Pierre immediately understood and ordered the guards to clear out the onlookers and secure the scene.

"Mr. Ramsey, how did you end up like this?" Kelsey lowered her head, afraid Robin would see the panic in her eyes.

Robin handed her his phone. "Here are three years' worth of activity logs for Lennox and Ishana.
