The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 139

Robin felt Luella trembling in his arms and stayed silent for a long moment.

Finally, he gently pushed her back, looking her in the eyes with a faint smile. "Three years ago, Felix promised not to reach out to me directly. Why did you come to Draconia this time?" Luella exhaled deeply and gave him an apologetic smile. "Robin, I know the Aldridges can't hide anything.

from you.

"My grandfather sent me to find you only after much hesitation.

"We first approached Old Fred. He told us he wouldn't interfere in your affairs anymore and suggested we speak to you directly.

To track down your exact whereabouts, the Aldridges opened up global sales channels for a new line of cosmetics crafted specifically for Old Fred's third wife, Marina Lewin.

"Old Fred made me swear repeatedly not to reveal that to you."

Robin's lips twitched. "And yet, here you are, telling me anyway.

Luella gave a sheepish smile. "I knew you'd figure it out so I might as well tell you upfront."

"Aren't you worried Old Fred will say you betrayed him?"

Luella laughed. "If Old Fred gave me your location, he's already come to terms with it. Otherwise, even if it benefited all his wives, he'd never tell a soul."

Robin shook his head. "He's probably just eager to get Marina off his back. So, what's this all about?"

After a pause. Luella said, "Do you know why, three years ago, my family nearly faced utter ruin?"

Robin shook his head. "I stepped in to save your family because Old Fred ordered me to. I don't ask for reasons; I simply carry out what I need to do." Luella nodded. "I know that's your way.

"The disaster three years ago-and the enormous troubles we're facing now-all stem from the same issue.-

"That's why I came to Draconia to find you."

Robin leaned back into the sofa, closing his eyes, listening quietly as Luella continued.

"Decades ago, when the Aldridges were just getting established, we offended a powerful figure named Ernst Cesar.

"He also did business in Autreynia and was a close friend of my grandfather.

"But due to the immense profits involved, they ultimately came into conflict over the Ugonland market.

"Eventually, Ernst's family couldn't compete against my grandfather's control over the Aldridges in Ugonland.

"As a result, Ernst faced harsh punishment from his own family and lost all his influence and standing.

"Consumed by bitterness, he fell into despair and eventually died in anxiety.

"Before he died, he listened to malicious rumors, convinced that his downfall in Ugonland was my grandfather's doing.
