Chapter 9 Dark Web Assassins

Robin slowly opened his eyes and peered through the gaps between the bodyguards to gauge the situation outside the vehicle.

Drake's convoy was completely encircled by the assassins.

It was evident from their gear and positions that these killers were far more proficient and dangerous than those who had previously kidnapped Shirley.

"Mr. Dunn Sr., how intense is your grudge that they've hired such a skilled team?" Robin inquired.

"Given their equipment and setup, it's clear that your enemies have spared no expense. These assassins wouldn't have come for anything less than ten million."

Drake shook his head, his face etched with bitterness. "Mr. Ramsey, this is just a chapter from my past troubles. Years ago, I was close friends with this enemy of mine, Norris Ruell. We built our business from the ground up together. "We both fell for the same woman, Eda Shirley's grandmother. Eda married me, which ended our friendship. During a business trip to Ugonland, Norris seized the chance to assault Eda and tried to smuggle her out of the country. "Unable to endure the shame, Eda took her own life. When I learned this, I intercepted Norris at the border. In my rage, I accidentally killed his brother and broke his legs. I spared him, however, and warned him never to return to Draconia. "I never imagined that thirty years later, this man would come back seeking revenge—"

A muffled thud interrupted his story. Robin quickly shoved Drake aside, grabbing Shirley and rolling out of the car.

"Get down!" Robin shouted as he held Shirley with one arm and forcefully flipped the Mercedes they were in.

Following Robin's commands, the Dunns' bodyguards protected Drake, swiftly exiting the car and seeking cover behind the overturned vehicle.

At that moment, Robin felt a peculiar sensation in his right hand and realized...

Shirley, noticing something unusual, pushed Robin away.

Her face flushed into a deep crimson that extended to her smooth neck.

Robin glanced at his hand and murmured, "They're quite big."

Understanding his words, Shirley angrily shoved Robin.

He stumbled and fell out of the protective area of the car.

Another silenced bullet zipped past.

Robin tilted his head just in time, and the bullet narrowly missed his ear.
