Chapter 238 Vera Is The Target

"Quick, the gun's under my arm!"

In a moment of panic, Talia shouted at Robin, signaling him to pull out her pistol from under her left armpit to retaliate.

"Do it now!" She urged as Robin was hesitating.

Robin glanced toward Vera as he reached into Talia's chest area on the left.

After searching for a while, he still couldn't replace the gun.

Instead, he felt he grabbed something that was distinctly wrong.

Talia's attention was on the assassin to her left. She suddenly felt a strange sensation in her body. She looked down to replace Robin's hand gripping her tits. "Hey! You jerk!"

"Ah!"

She blushed with embarrassment and fiercely kicked Robin.

"D*mn it!"

Robin quickly blocked Talia's attack, holding her in his arms while leaning slightly to dodge a bullet that whizzed past.

"What's wrong with you, woman? Why are you attacking me? Where's your gun?"

Talia is desperately wiggling her body. The redness of her cheeks had spread all the way to her neck. She chided, "You pervert! Let go of me!" "How am I a pervert? You're the one ..."

Only then did Robin realize he had grabbed the wrong thing.

"Ughhh! You *sshole!"

Talia resembled a lioness in heat, shaking her head and biting down hard on Robin's arm.

"Are you a puppy now?" Robin released her and pushed her away.

A bullet from the assassin on the left zoomed past Talia's eyes.

With a fierce glare at Robin, Talia drew her gun from her armpit and fired a barrage of bullets at the attacker.

The patrons in Hot Pot Haven had fled in terror.

As she shot, Talia moved forward rapidly. Her whole body exuded a deadly aura.

After a flurry of fierce exchanges, she reached the imposing assassin in a flash.

Talia unexpectedly engaged the assassin in close combat, taking him by surprise.

Robin shook his head as he watched Talia's agile figure.

Though her skills were fierce and powerful, honed to perfection within the ranks of the military, her combat techniques were truly exceptional. Her fighting abilities could only be described as top-tier.

The assassin she faced was no ordinary warrior.

He was a master of hardening techniques.

After several exchanges, Talia found herself on the defensive.

Meanwhile, a surge of murderous intent erupted around the restaurant.

Robin sensed that several hostile presences were quickly approaching Vera.

Could it be that these assassins weren't after him, but Vera?

He quickly moved to Vera's side and took her hand.

In her panic, Vera relaxed slightly at this gesture.

She looked at Robin and smiled, "Aren't you naughty? Is it comfortable to grab her ... you know?"

"You mean her tits?" Robin shrugged and admitted, "Very!"

Bang! Bang!

Two low gunshots echoed through the restaurant, shaking the very walls.

Startled were several assassins who lurked at the corners. One of them shouted, "Run!"

Talia sprinted after them with the speed of an arrow.

Robin led Vera out of Hot Pot Haven.

He glanced back at the scene outside with a light laugh; the team was still lacking in many ways.

As he passed by Tobias and Dustin, they shot him an annoyed look before quickly joining the fray.

Facing the Rashea assassin alongside Talia, they found themselves at a disadvantage.

The three of them were forced to retreat, firing their weapons as they did.

The assassin standing opposite them was tall and muscular, yet incredibly agile.

As he faced the gunfire from Talia

and her companions, he darted around with remarkable

skillfully dodging their bith

pinpoint accuracy.

He was clearly a mid-level practitioner of ancient martial arts.

While he couldn't physically block bullets with his cultivation level, he could anticipate their paths with precision.

This skill allowed him to predict the bullets' fatal trajectories at the moment the trigger was pulled.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Talia and her companions continued their intense firing.

Yet the Rashea assassin remained elusive, narrowly avoiding the barrage of bullets.

Talia noticed something strange about his movements.

Feigning a shot, she deliberately delayed her aim compared to her colleagues, firing a split second later.

This shot was fierce and aimed straight at the assassin's forehead.

The fleeing assassin suddenly realized the danger.

If he hadn't dodged just in time, half his face would have been blown away.

He halted abruptly, his eyes flickering with the remnants of fear.

Evidently, he had personally experienced Talia's sharpshooting skills firsthand.

Vera gripped Robin's arm and gasped.

"Ms. Silva, quickly come over here!"

Talia shot a glare at Robin, then shouted at Vera.

In that instant, the Rashea assassin noticed Vera and Robin.

"Oh?" His eyes lit up.

Robin felt a flicker of delight in the assassin's eyes upon seeing Vera, while the assassin seemed unfazed by him.

These assassins were not part of Jabez's crew; their real target was Vera!

What a twist of fate!

Robin glanced at the distant Jabez and the two ghostly figures hiding among the crowd.

They were the assassins of the Dark Night Alliance, recently assigned a mission by the Phoenix Vanguard.

But the ones engaging with Talia had an entirely different agenda.

They were here to kill Vera.

Who would attempt to get rid of Vera?

When Talia called out for Vera, she didn't move closer.

Instead, she stayed tightly by Robin's side, knowing she was safest there.

"They're here to kill you!" Robin warned.

"What? Who are they? Why would they want to kill me? Vera asked, bewildered and terrified.

"With me here, no one dares touch you!" Robin reassured her, sensing her fear.

Vera was so touched she nearly cried.

When did this bad guy become so gentle?

The assassin realized Talia was out of ammo and quickly moved toward Vera.

He exploded into action, his internal

erupting as he powered off the hard marble floor and creating

cracks in his wake.

Like a cannonball, he launched himself at Vera.

In midair, he suddenly drew a sharp dagger, its blade gleaming with deadly intent, aiming straight for Vera's neck!

"Get down!"

Talia couldn't believe this assassin

had the audacity to ignore the threat

posed by her gun, instead continuing to charge towards Vera, sway his

weapon, and prepare to take her life.

She raised her weapon to fire, desperate to stop him midair.

But to her dismay, she found her gun empty!

IMS

Despair washed over her as she looked at Robin, and Vera was caught in the deadly flash of the blade.

Talia knew that in that very moment something terrible was about to happen.
