The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 17

Chapter 17 You're Just All Talk

As Shawn's enormous hand swung toward Shirley, the crowd at the Violetcrest Club collectively gasped. Many spectators turned away, unable to watch the scene unfold.

Smack!

A sharp slap echoed through the quiet Violetcrest Riding and Shooting Entertainment Center!

Shawn was propelled through the air, crashing heavily onto the ground several feet away.

Crack!

The marble floor of the viewing area cracked under the force of the impact!

Shirley remained unscathed, her composure intact, though her eyes revealed her astonishment.

Amber's eyes widened in shock, her mouth open in disbelief, frozen in place.

The hand that struck Shawn belonged to Robin.

"Why are you so hell-bent on being a d*ck?" Robin remarked, wiping his hands with a towel handed to him by a server, his gaze filled with disdain and mockery. Shawn, sprawled on the floor from Robin's slap, had lost a few teeth and was disoriented, his ears ringing.

He struggled to speak, barely conscious.

The riding and shooting center was eerily silent, with tension hanging thick in the air.

After a moment of oppressive quiet, the crowd began to murmur.

"Wow! This guy is amazing! He just took down the Devil, Rygar's top enforcer!"

"Is this real? I've never seen anyone handle the Devil like that in Harmonfield!"

"This guy is incredibly bold. He's definitely in for a tough time."

Alice, observing the spectacle, was initially stunned, but soon a sneer of contempt spread across her face.

"Hmph! Robin, do you really think that just because the Dunns support you, you can challenge Rygar's top man?" she scoffed. "You're asking for trouble!"

Zachary's face lit up with a malicious grin.

Meanwhile, Vera was stunned by the events that had just transpired.
