The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Might Makes Right Harmonfield Hotel Crown Banquet.

The hall buzzed with laughter, the voices of the elite families of Brookhaven intertwining in a harmonious symphony. Ruby stood at the center of it all, surrounded by young men and women who lavished her with compliments and playful jests. Then, a stir broke through the festivities.

Guests quickly stepped aside, forming a path through the crowd.

"Mr. Neville, Mr. Anthony, welcome!"

The two deputy enforcers of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance bowed deeply, their respect evident.

All eyes shifted toward the entrance.

Through the large doors stepped an older gentleman accompanied by a striking youth.

The older man was Anthony, the loyal butler of the Neville family.

The young man, Jason Neville, was the pride of his lineage, the first grandson of Tristan Neville, the family patriarch.

Not only was Jason renowned as the most skilled martial artist among his peers, but he was also celebrated for his striking good looks.

He was the object of fascination for many young women from affluent families, all eager for his attention.

Among the common folk, tales of Jason's extraordinary presence circulated like wildfire, but few had the fortune to witness him firsthand.

Tristan held Jason in high regard, often showering him with affection and rigorous training.

Every lesson Jason learned was a testament to Tristan's commitment to molding him into a capable leader, preparing him for the weighty responsibilities that awaited.

Tonight, as the Brookhaven Martial Alliance celebrated, the Quinns extended a formal invitation to the Nevilles.

Tristan, seeing an opportunity for his grandson, sent Jason along with Anthony to gain experience and learn the ways of the world.

At 18, Jason exuded charm and confidence.

Upon entering the grand ballroom of the Harmonfield Hotel, he immediately captured the attention of several young women, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

Ruby, engrossed in her surroundings, felt her pulse quicken as she caught sight of him.

She had never encountered a young man so captivating in all of Brookhaven.

Ruby's pulse quickened, warmth rising in her cheeks.

Her eyes were drawn to Jason, and an undeniable spark flared within her.

With a swift check of her outfit, she navigated through the crowd and approached him. "Mr. Neville, hello! I'm Ruby Quinn. Welcome to the celebration for the opening of the Martial Alliance branch." This marked Jason's debut representing the Nevilles at such a grand occasion.

Ruby's unexpected arrival brightened his day, capturing his full attention.

In the realm of martial arts families, few women possessed such bold enthusiasm.

As Ruby stood elegantly before him, Jason felt a stirring in his heart.

He gave a slight nod, working to maintain a composed exterior, though a thrill of excitement coursed through him.

Yet his thoughts were already wandering to Ruby, captivated by her charm.

Anthony briefly exchanged greetings with Ruby before reminding him, "Sir, you should meet with Mr. Quinn on the second floor first. We can continue our conversation afterward." Ruby struggled to conceal her joy, offering a warm smile. "Mr. Neville, please, go ahead."
