The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Robin, This Time You've Really Messed Up!

Vera ignored Alice's attempts to stop her

Swaying her slender hips, she gracefully descended from the second floor and walked right up to Robin.

"Mr. Ramsey, mind if I have a drink with you?"

Robin glanced at Vera, raising an eyebrow. "You drink yours, I drink mine. Why would I mind?

"Don't worry, I'm not expecting you to pay for me

Vera was slightly taken aback.

She hadn't expected Robin to start the conversation like that, and then suddenly burst out laughing. covering her mouth

No problem, I can pay for you if you want."

Robin shot her a sideways look. "Why would I want you to pay for me?

Starkey's already covered everything I'm spending here"

Oh, so M. Dunn's footing the bill for you? Must be nice being a kept man, huh?"

Vera chuckled, her eyes fixed on Robin's handsome face

Robin shrugged and said seriously, "Being a kept man is very comfortable. It's actually my dream, so

Seeing how serious Robin was, Vera laughed so hard she doubled over, her chest heaving with the

ovement, almost spilling out of her top.

What's up with women these days? They're all a little crazy.

Robin shot a quick glance at Vera. "Did I say something wrong? Why are you laughing so hard?" Realizing her awkwardness, Vera blushed and instinctively pulled up her neckline.

Robin picked up his glass, suddenly someone spat into it.

Vera's laughter stopped immediately.

She looked up and saw a young, slightly overweight man standing between her and Robin. what are you doing here?" The man didn't seem to care at all that he had spat in the glass.

He walked over to Vera with a smile.

It was Brit Hamilton, the Vice President of Universal Group, Perry Hamilton, the president of the company, was his uncle

"Oh Mr. Eric, you Vera knew that Eric had always wanted to get close to her, even though she had no interest in him.

But she was afraid to outright reject him because of the Hamiltons' powerful background.

She had always tried to avoid this spoiled rich kid.

With her own family's influence, the Silvas couldn't afford to offend the Hamiltons, one of the most powerful families in Harmonfield.

"I heard from Mr. Gill that this guy was the loser Alice kicked to the curb?

"Vera, sitting with someone like him is beneath you...

Robin dumped the ashtray's contents into his glass and said coldly, "Drink it,"

Eric was stunned at first, then burst out laughing.

"Do you even know who I am? I'm the Vice President of Universal Group. Mr. Hamilton's my you want me to drink that? You must be out of your mind, kid Vera knew that Eric was only provoking Robin because she was there.

"Robin, maybe we should just let it go...

uncle. And

She was about to persuade Robin not to be so reckless when his next move made her head buzz.

She thought, "Oh no, we're in big trouble!"

Before Eric could finish his sentence, Robin spread his fingers wide, grabbed Eric's hair, and poured the entire contents of the glass into his mouth. With a slap to his chest, the spit, wine, and dozens of cigarette butts were all forced down Eric's throat.

"Ahem -

You son of a- Eric's face twisted with rage, and he looked like he wanted to kill Robin.

Robin had been ready to let it go, but when Eric started swearing, he grabbed Eric's hair again and slammed his face into the table..

With a loud "bang" Eric's face was left bloody as he collapsed to the floor.

The thick tabletop shattered into pieces

Robin let go of Eric's hair in disgust and signaled to the terrified waiter to bring him a towel.

Vera took several steps back in fear. "Robin, do you know who he is?"

Robin took the towel from the panicked waiter and wiped his hands.

"That drink was expensive. I'm waiting for this guy to get up and pay for it."

Vera was speechless.

"He's Eric, Mr. Hamilton's nephew from Universal Group. You just hit him! The Hamiltons won't let you

"The Hamiltons from Universal Group? Are they supposed to be impressive?" Robin tossed the towel onto Eric, who was still twitching on the ground.

Vera didn't know what else to say. "Robin, you've really messed up this time!

"We need to get out of here, or we won't be able to once the Hamiltons people show up."

Robin glanced at Eric, who was lying on the ground with a bloody face, and shrugged. "Alright, staying here is getting boring anyway.

Today's just been a hassle. Running into nothing but psychos-what a waste of time!"

Upstairs, Alice, Zachary, and Raymond had witnessed the entire scene.

Alice was shocked at first when she saw Robin hit Eric from Universal Group.

Then, her.delicate face twisted into a sneer. "Causing trouble wherever he goes! People like him are hopeless!"

Zachary chuckled, "Hitting Mr. Eric from Universal Group? It's not going to be easy for him to walk out of Violeterest now!

"Before this, Rygar might have considered the Dunns' influence and cut Shirley some slack. But with Mr. Hamilton from Universal Group, that's not likely.

"Besides, Shirley's not even here right now. Robin's in big trouble!"

Raymond nodded. I've heard Perry never really respected the Dunns.

"The Hamiltons may not have as deep roots as the Dunns, but in the past couple of years, Universal Group has been making connections with Phoenix Vanguard overseas.

"A lot of Phoenix Vanguard's business in Draconia is handled through Universal Group.

"Thanks to the backing of Phoenix Vanguard, the Hamiltons' power has risen quickly in Harmonfield over the last few years.

"In just five years, they've gone from a second-rate family to one of the top four powers in Harmonfield.

"And lately, Perry's influence has been growing to the point where he might surpass the Dunns and even Rygar.

"Now that Robin has beaten Perry's nephew, Eric, even if Shirley steps in, she might not be able to protect him."

Zachary, excited, downed his drink. "This is going to be quite a show. We should get a closer look. Alice. Raymond, let's head down."

Eric wiped the blood off his face.

Seeing Vera dragging Rolin toward the bar's exit, he struggled to his feet and yelled, "You think you can hit me and just walk away? Stop right there!"

The bar's first floor was in chaos.

Several of Eric's bodyguards rushed in from outside the bar.

"Mr. Eric, what happened? Who did this?"

The bloodied Eric was helped up by two bodyguards.

He pointed at Robin's back and screamed, "Stop them!

"You're dead, you hear me? You're fucking dead!"

The bar's guests finally noticed that the person who had been hit was none other than Eric from Universal Group.

"Holy crap! Who's the idiot that dared to hit Mr. Eric from Universal Group?"

"This guy's got to be out of his mind, messing with Mr. Eric. Is he trying to get himself killed?"

"Mr. Eric is Mr. Hamilton's nephew! Who in their right mind would mess with him? Is he suicidal?" A few people in the bar recognized Eric and immediately crowded around him, eager to please. "Mr. Eric, who's the blind fool that dared to hit you? Just say the word, and I'll take care of him right now!" As Alice and her group came down from the second floor, they saw Robin blocked by the crowd near the bar's entrance.

Vera suddenly remembered that Zachary often hung out with Eric and his rich friends.

She quickly said, "Mr. Gill, can you talk to Eric? This is all just a misunderstanding....

Zachary looked at Vera, then at Robin, and sneered. "I'm friends with Eric. I could say a word for you. "But, Vera, I can only help you stay out of this. As for Robin... well, that's not my problem."

Vera was about to plead with Zachary to speak up for Robin, but Alice stopped her, mocking Robin.

"Robin, what can I say about you? Besides causing trouble wherever you go, is there anything else you're good at?

"Last time, you had a run-in with Mr. Rygar's men, and you got lucky because Ms. Dunn bailed you out. "But now, with Ms. Dunn not around, I'm curious to see how you'll handle Mr. Eric!

"Hah, you might as well get ready to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair!" Realizing he couldn't walk away, Robin.ignored Alice entirely and turned to face Eric.

"So, you're the Vice President of Universal Group, Eric right?

"Just now, I was drinking in my booth, and for no reason, you spat in my glass.

"So, I shoved the cigarette butts and that drink down your throat. It's only fair, right? We're even now,

"What I'm saying is, let's end this here. It's better for both of us.

I'm really tired today and don't want to get into another fight. Just walk away, so things don't get more complicated. Alright?"

"Holy shit!" Zachary couldn't help but shout.

"Is this guy for real? Is he actually trying to get himself killed?"

Alice looked at Robin's arrogant attitude with even more disdain and shook her head. There's no hope for him! This guy is beyond stupid!"
