The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 966

The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 966 An Opponent Is an Enemy
Freya understood that this was Robin's well-intentioned lesson.

He was giving Brendon a real-life education.

Not all kindness and selfless giving in this world could guarantee that it would be met with sincerity in return.

Whether it was in a competition, a war, or even in real life.

Many people were still recipients of help themselves but were generous in offering assistance to others.

Once someone fell into a difficult situation, those who had once received kindness might just stand by and watch, or worse, kick them when they were down.

Someone like Brendon had spent too much time in Southville Residence.

Everything he had seen, heard, and been taught was knowledge from the textbooks of saints.

He had never witnessed the cruelty of reality.

To live in this world, the only true foundation was self-reliance.

When a person loves themselves, only then can they truly love others and the world.

Freya looked at Brendon, who was now showing signs of impatience, as if he would die if he didn't immediately help the Rattlesnake team member.

"Alright, Brendon, you insist on helping Dana, so I'll let you do it.

"Remember, the choices are entirely yours to make.

"If your actions delay our entire team, no matter your family background or status, you will be removed from the Dragon Soul team!"

"Of course. I always keep my word. Even if I die, it will not affect the final result of the entire team!" Brendon shrugged and gave his only water and supply to Dana.

Dana accepted the water and energy from Brendon, a smug glint flashing in her eyes before she downed it all in one go.

Brendon was stunned, not expecting that Dana would drink up all his water and energy.

The once listless Dana immediately seemed revitalized.

She looked at Brendon and walked over to give him a light hug. "Thank you! After the competition, I'll come find you!"

Brendon slapped his chest with a generous grin. "No problem, it's just a small thing. Let's go, we still need to keep moving."

Dana waved her hand and made a face at him. "Friendship first, competition second!"

Brendon clenched his fist. "Good luck!"

Catherine almost threw up.

"Brendon, aren't you disgusted with yourself? Hurry up and go, don't waste everyone's time."

Brendon snorted, "What do you know? I'm setting a shining example for our team.

"The Rattlesnake Special Forces have never even made it past the preliminaries in any major competition. They're not even on the same level as us. What's the harm in giving them a little help?

"This is vision! Do you even know what vision is? Hmph!"

Catherine kicked him hard. "Vision, my foot! You're just looking at her because she's a beauty and feeling some sympathy.

"Brendon, just wait until Commander-in-Chief Ramsey kicks you out of the Dragon Soul Special Forces!"

Brendon laughed dismissively. "I've got enough energy to make it to the end. Why would Commander-in-Chief Ramsey get rid of me?

"Don't forget, Colonel Wright gave me the order to do this from Commander-in-Chief Ramsey."

Catherine was momentarily speechless.

She couldn't understand why Robin would do something like that.

It was completely out of character for him!

She caught up with Freya and, puzzled, asked, "Colonel Wright, why did you agree to let Brendon give his energy and water to that Dana from the Rattlesnake Special Forces?"

Freya paused for a moment. "It was Commander-in-Chief Ramsey's order."

"I'm asking why Commander-in-Chief Ramsey would agree to let him do that!" Catherine pressed.

"Let's go. Let's get to the second area quickly and watch these fools from Dragon Soul Special Forces struggle without energy," they said, laughing.

...

All the competing teams had no obstacles crossing the first plains area of the mystic realm.

They spent an hour and forty minutes to fully cross the plains.

Beyond the plains, the second area was a valley.

This valley was separated from the plains area by a narrow river.

However, there was no bridge, so they had to build one themselves.

Using materials gathered from the plains, two logistics members swiftly constructed a temporary bridge.

After nearly 20 minutes of preparation, Gavin, Freya, and the others successfully crossed the river.

On the rear was Maverick. Seeing the Rattlesnake and Peacock teams approaching from behind, he immediately destroyed the makeshift bridge.

Brendon shook his head as he observed Maverick's actions. "Maverick, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless."

Maverick snorted coldly. "Brendon, with your kind of attitude, I don't even know how you made it through the assessment."

Brendon laughed. "The Twelve Great Warriors trained my abilities. What's stopping me from joining the Dragon Soul Special Forces?"

Maverick shook his head. "But your combat mentality is a whole different story. In this area, there are no friends, only opponents or enemies."

Brendon shook his head. "I believe that all the goodwill in this world can touch others. An opponent isn't an enemy, they're just a friend growing and moving forward together in this space.

"As long as you don't have hostility, the other side will return your goodwill."

"You're full of crap!" Catherine said coldly.

"In this world, it's interests that last forever. An opponent is an enemy, there is nothing more to say!"
