The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 127

Chapter 127 I Want to Divorce You

When Robin's words echoed through the SunEast Bank lobby, the entire room fell silent. For a moment, there was only shock, and then all eyes turned to hun.

They couldn't believe this young man would dare to talk like that. After all, Jett-Layla's husband-was the assistant to Harmonfield's deputy mayor.

Within six months, he was expected to become the primary candidate for deputy mayor.

His father had previously held that position, and Jett had built a strong network within the city government and across several industries.

In his early 30s, he already held a prominent role and was widely regarded as someone with the potential to rise even further, possibly to mayor or even a higher provincial post Robin's open disregard for Jett was astonishing, and it seemed certain that Robin's future in Harmonfield was now in jeopardy.

Leonardo watched the scene from a distance, frowning at the disrespect his former classmate faced. It unnerved him to see someone confront Jett so boldly.

He looked at Robin angrily.

Being young and frivolous was understandable.

However, if Robin didn't know how to restrain himself, be arrogant, and didn't show respect, it would have gone too far.

Leonardo stepped forward, anger boiling up. "How can you speak like that?" he reprimanded, pointing at

Robin

"You lack any respect! The bank is trying to work things out with you, and you're being this uncooperative. My friend from the city government spoke to you civilly, yet you-" But as he looked closer, Robin's expression-a familiar, unnerving smile-made Leonardo freeze in his tracks. Fear ran through him, his mind racing to remember who Robin was, Though Leonardo had traveled widely and met all sorts of people, he had never felt this kind of fear. His eyes widened in shock, and he stepped back, momentarily speechless. Oblivious to his friend's reaction, Jett took Leonardo's words as a show of support and sneered.

"Kid, I'm a city government official, so I'll refrain from saying anything unprofessional,

But let me warn you-Leonardo's status is far beyond anything you can imagine. If you're planning to go about this in such a reckless way, you'd best tread carefully." Robin raised an eyebrow. "Oh: Trying to intimidate me

He laughed. "Leonardo, the Aldridges' deputy CEO, with a Phoenix Vanguard background,

"Does your classmate, the deputy mayor's assistant, mean that you can use various means to deal with me

with your connections?"

Leonardo turned pale, his heart racing as he struggled to breathe.

His gaze fixed on Robin, whose calm demeanor made him feel an overwhelming dread.

Everyone, including Jett and Layla, now noticed that Leonardo was staring at Robin as if he'd seen a ghost The confidence he'd had before was completely gone. Finally, Leonardo mustered the courage to speak, his voice low and respectful, "Mr. Ramsey, could I speak with you privately?"

Robin nodded with a slight smile. "Want to talk? Sure. Let's go to the VIP room over there."

"Yes, Mr. Ramsey. This way, please, Leonardo replied, bowing slightly and following Robin like a
