The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 244

Chapter 244 What Is She Up to Again?

Talia felt a surge of anger at Robin's words.

The agents who accompanied Talia here were equally infuriated.

Talia would have liked to show this arrogant man some sense if she weren't in uniform.

Taking a deep breath, Talia managed to calm herself.

She had received an order to investigate the incident involving the world's top assassins who were attempting to take out Robin.

Her main focus was to uncover Robin's true identity rather than ensuring his safety.

Deep down, she understood the gravity of the situation.

Faced with those elite killers, she and her team felt a gnawing sense of uncertainty.

She had no idea how many backup agents had been dispatched to assist her.

If they were entangled in this mess, forget about protecting Robin; if they were to confront these assassins, would she and her team even make it out alive? "You all should leave now; we need to rest," Robin said, pulling Vera closer as he addressed the brooding Talia again.

"Is it appropriate for you to linger here at this hour?" he continued, his tone dismissive.

"Even if you're following orders, it doesn't give you the right to invade my personal space."

After a brief moment of panic, Sarah stood up, trying to defuse the situation. "Officers, Mr. Ramsey and Ms. Silva need their rest. Please leave," she urged.

Talia's anger flared again. "Robin, I know you're skilled, but how can you take on so many powerful assassins all by yourself? You're in the open, while these killers lurk in the shadows. No matter how well you prepare, there will always be a moment of vulnerability. Please cooperate with us if you want to stay safe."

Robin was not interested in continuing the conversation.

Without even lifting his head, he waved them off dismissively, signaling for them to leave.

The frustration of Talia's subordinates boiled over.

One of the lieutenants stepped forward and slammed his hand down on the coffee table, causing a cup to topple and shatter on the floor.

"You're unbearably arrogant!" he shouted.

"Do you have any idea how much you'll regret rejecting our protection?"

Robin raised an eyebrow and pointed at the lieutenant.

He instructed, "Clean up that mess. My cup costs 200 dollars. Pay up and get out."

"You sc*m!" The lieutenant trembled with anger.

Sarah quickly interjected, "Please calm down, officers. I'll take care of that.

"You should comply with Mr. Ramsey's request, pay up, and leave. Mr. Ramsey needs to rest," she reiterated.

Talia ground her teeth in frustration. "Fine! I'll inform my superiors. No one will waste time on your nonsense anymore."

She pointed at the lieutenant and commanded, "Transfer him 1,000 dollars. Let's go!"

As Talia and her team stormed out, Robin couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

If they got involved in this mess, they might not even see the threat coming before it was too late.

Him telling them to leave was saving their *ss.

They should be grateful, but they acted as if they were above it all.

Just because they held a rank didn't make them powerful; without real capability, status meant nothing. "Ring!" Vera's phone buzzed.

A WhatsApp call from Alice appeared on the screen.

Vera was perplexed as it was already past two in the morning.

Why would Alice call her at this hour?

"Alice, you're still awake?" Vera asked.

Alice yawned and said, "Not really. I just got back from the bar with one of Zachary's friends."

"What's up, Alice? Why call me so late?" Vera inquired.

After a brief pause, Alice said, "Vera, in a few days, Zachary and I are having our engagement ceremony."

Vera cast a quick glance at Robin, who remained absorbed in his phone.

Taking a deep breath, she replied, "Congratulations, Alice! If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know."

Alice sighed.

"I want to replace a better venue for the engagement. Zachary has suggested a few hotels, but I'm not satisfied with any of them. I was hoping we could rent a luxurious villa to host the ceremony. It would be more prestigious that way; considering it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, I want it to be grand."

"A luxurious villa?" Vera pondered.

"What kind of villa can accommodate so many guests? How many guests have you invited?"

"Well, it has to be from Dawnspire Heights Estates, Area One," Alice replied.

"I heard from Raymond that the villas in Area One are practically estates.

"If we hold the engagement ceremony there, it would be absolutely magnificent."

Vera paused, surprised. "Area One's villa? There are only five luxury villas in Dawnspire Heights Estates, all inhabited by untouchable big shots. Ordinary people never even see their faces. You want to hold your engagement there?"

Suddenly, it clicked in Vera's mind what Alice was really after.

As expected, Alice continued, "Earlier, you sent me those scenic photos of Dawnspire Heights Estates. I thought you were joking.

"But when I showed them to Raymond, he confirmed those images were from Area One. He wasn't sure which specific villa they were from, but you told me you were at the top-tier villas. "Now I'm calling to ask if what you said is true."

Vera glanced at Robin again, who was still scrolling through his phone, and replied thoughtfully, "Yes, it's true. I told you that before, but you didn't believe me."

Alice laughed. "If that's the case, that's fantastic! But I'm certain that villa doesn't belong to Robin.

"Vera, tell me are you being supported by some big shot? Did you intentionally claim that the villa belongs to Robin?"

Vera paused, a mischievous thought bubbling up in her mind.

"Maybe I am, Alice. What's your point?"

After a moment of hesitation, Alice asked, "Vera, could you ask your friend to let us borrow that villa for half a day?"

Vera looked at Robin, a wicked smile crossing her face.

This would indeed make for an amusing prank.

Lowering her voice, she said into the phone, "Alice, I'll tell you that villa is Robin's. You can ask him directly to borrow it.

"You two have some history. If you et

borrow the villa for a brief time for the engagement ceremony, he shouldn't refuse you. To Robin, that villa is nothing special. To us, it may seem unattainable, but to Robin, it's just another ordinary place."

On the other end, Alice sighed.

"Vera, I don't understand why you feel the need to boast about Robin every time you mention him. I know what you're trying to do. No matter how much Robin tries to forget me, I will never accept him.

"I'm already engaged to Zachary. Even if Robin is a billionaire, I wouldn't be interested. Besides, he's just a loser who lives by deceiving women like Shirley and Daphne.

"That villa in Area One? He'll never set foot there. What kind of big shot could live in such an exclusive area? It's not just about money; it also represents the untouchable status of the Harmonfield elite. "Even Mayor Wright's father couldn't reside there, so what right does Robin have? He doesn't even have the qualifications to be a dog at the estates!"

Vera was too tired to argue further. She said, "Alright, Alice, if you don't believe me, then forget it."

She wondered what Alice would feel like if she found out on the day of the engagement that the villa really belonged to Robin.

"Alice, I'll see if I can borrow it. If I have any news, I'll contact you by noon tomorrow."

Alice sounded excited from the other end of the phone. She said, "Vera, if you can help me borrow that villa, I'll definitely repay you!" Vera smiled and said, "I don't need a reward. Just seeing you happy makes me happy.

"But I want to remind you one last

thing. If you replace out that Robin isn't as worthless as you think, but rather far more powerful and even holds a higher status than people like. Daphne, Drake, and Rygar, would you regret it?"

Alice laughed heartily and said, "I'll never regret it. Robin will never amount to anything.

"I want to become a queen like Daphne, not be with a man like Robin, who lacks ambition. We're not even from the same world!

"Alright, Vera, don't bring up someone like Robin again. Just thinking about him makes me sick."

Vera's mouth twitched slightly. "Okay, I won't mention him again.

"Alice, you said it yourself. If I end up with Robin, don't regret it!"

Alice chuckled and said, "I won't. If you two really do get together, I'll bless you!"

"What if he really is the owner of that villa? You still won't regret it?" Vera rose and walked to the window, speaking softly.

"Never!" Alice replied firmly.

Vera hung up and turned to Robin, a radiant smile lighting up her face.

"Robin..." She approached him, looking into his eyes with a smile.

Robin froze, caught off guard by the cunning grin on Vera's face. He was flustered.

What was this woman up to now?

"What's going on?"

Vera's crimson lips parted sensually as she said, "I want to borrow something from you."

Robin instinctively tightened his legs, feeling a sense of caution, as he observed her intense gaze. "What do you want to borrow?"

"Haha... "Vera laughed, leaning in to kiss his forehead.

"I want to borrow your villa for a few days!"
