The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 948 Stealing His Property Will Cost Your Life!

Ignoring the harsh shout from behind him, Robin picked up the 'Elodie's Lasagna' sign, buried among a pile of discarded objects.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" A member of the enforcement team, wielding a baton, walked up behind Robin. "Get up and get out, now!" Kelsey quickly urged, "Mr. Robin, let's go..."

Robin wiped the dust off the sign and slowly stood up.

"Put it down!" The officer barked. "Didn't you hear me? Get out of here!"

Robin slowly turned around to face the officer. He asked coldly, "What did you say? Do you want to die?"

The three officers froze for a moment, their hands tightening on their stun baton, ready to strike.

Anton quickly presented an invitation letter from the Qacalisle Island's Market Regulation Department. "Gentlemen, please wait!

"Mr. Avington invited us, and we just so happened to be passing by tonight.

"Last time we visited the Island, we ate at Elodie's Lasagna and loved the food. So we came to see what was going on here.

"We'll leave right away."

The officers softened slightly in their tone. "Important figures are visiting the island in the next few days, and we're conducting a market cleanup. These operations are illegal and will be shut down.

"If you want to eat, go to the island food city. Hurry up and leave!"

"Okay, we'll go now." Anton said, looking at Robin for his command.

"Put down everything in your hands!" One officer pointed at the sign in Robin's hand.

Robin turned and tossed the sign into the air.noveldrama

The officers immediately stepped back.

The sign crashed to the ground in front of them.

"Crack!" The sound of the sign breaking echoed.

A cloud of dust rose, and the officers froze in place, their bodies stiffening.

In that moment, Kelsey, who had turned around, saw the three officers on the ground, blood trickling from their mouths, convulsing in pain.

Anton immediately realized that their hearts had ruptured.

This was Robin's lesson for them.

Robin gave Kelsey a firm pat. He said, "Let's go. Take us to Ambrose's house."

Kelsey, startled, quickly followed Robin as they headed toward Ambrose's home.

Walking beside Robin, Kelsey could sense his foul mood due to the Elodie's Lasagna situation.

What kind of relationship did he have with the family?

She recalled that Elodie had once mentioned meeting a man from Draconia.

The man standing before her was from Draconia, too.

Could there be a connection between them?

Silently, Kelsey led Robin to a rundown area at the southwest foot of Harpton Highlands.

The appearance of the overcrowded houses here suggested that they had been there for years.

Kelsey explained that her family had lived in this area for generations.

Previously, they had shared the same living space as Elodie's grandparents.

After walking through narrow alleyways for a while, Robin and Anton arrived at a modest house deep within the settlement. Kelsey pointed across the street. "Sir, that house is mine."

She seemed a bit embarrassed, feeling self-conscious about their poverty.

"This is where the family lives. They should be back by now."

There was a faint light coming from the house.

Kelsey knocked on the door, and a hoarse voice called from inside. "Who is it?"

"Ambrose, it's Kelsey."

The door creaked open, revealing a man in his fifties.

He looked frail, with a bruise on his face.

His clothes still had traces of lasagna sauce.

It's likely that the officer's batons struck him.

Ambrose looked up at Robin and Anton with wide eyes. This startled him.

"Y-you two..."

A woman standing beside him let out a soft gasp.

This was Dahlia.

Robin nodded slightly to the couple. "Hello, Mr. Ambrose. Apologies for the sudden visit.

"I heard from Kelsey that your lasagna is delicious."

Ambrose and Dahlia stared at Robin, as if in a daze, for a long moment.

"Sir, we're so sorry, but it's really unfortunate. Today, the enforcement team conducted a check and we had left our supplies at the

swnarket.

"Now, it's so late, we don't have any ingredients for lasagna at home.

"If it's not too much trouble, I can go out and buy some ingredients tomorrow to make it for you."

"It's fine." Robin glanced around the humble room and noticed a photo of a young girl on the cabinet.

He walked over to it. The girl in the

Ambrose and Dahlia looked at Robin, standing before the photo, their expressions becoming even more dazed.

Robin turned to face the couple, reading their thoughts.

He pointed at the girl in the picture. "Is she your daughter?"

Ambrose's eyes welled up with tears. "Yes, sir."

"Two years ago, she went missing." Dahlia lowered her head, wiping away tears.

"What about the fans she wore?"

Ambrose clenched his teeth and shook his head. "W-we don't know."

Robin scoffed. "Did Cuthbert's daughter steal them?

"Did that wicked woman also kill Elodie?"

Ambrose and Dahlia trembled, terror in their eyes. "We really don't know; we don't know."

Anton tried to comfort them. "Ambrose, don't be afraid."

"Y-you are... ?" Ambrose's lips trembled as he looked at Anton.

Anton nodded. "Yes, it's me, Ambrose.

"Twenty years ago, I used to eat your lasagna regularly with a gentleman.

"You helped the gentleman recover from a high fever, and he rewarded you with the fans.

"Who would have thought that so much time had passed, and everything had changed?

"I remember that year; Elodie was just two years old. She was such a sweet little girl." Ambrose and Dahlia started crying. "We're so sorry, sir. We lost those fans. We're so sorry."

Robin sneered. "Stealing from Young Lord Dragon? That's something that costs a life.

"Mr. Ambrose, tomorrow morning I'll send someone to take you to Cuthbert's estate to get those fans back!"
