The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 260 I'm Just a Kept Man

Alison's words left Brenda in shock.

"Alison, I understand what you're feeling right now... let's just go home."

Alison grasped her arm tightly. "I thought you wanted to go to the saloon?"

"What saloon? I'm not changing a thing! I'm keeping this color and style!" Brenda retorted, shaking off Alison's grip and striding home.

As she watched Brenda's despondent figure disappear, Alison sighed and followed her to the soup restaurant.

She decided not to linger at Brenda's place, intending to just say a quick hello to Marrisa before leaving.

She wanted to avoid any awkwardness that might arise from Robin being there.

Inside the soup restaurant, no matter how hard Robin tried to reason with Marrisa, she refused to accept the 300,000 dollars.

Understanding her worries, he didn't push the matter any further.

"You need to return this money to Hugh and the others immediately; you can't take this kind of money," Marrisa insisted, gripping Robin's arm with a look of disbelief.

"Robin, you just got back. I don't want you getting into any trouble. Hugh and his crew are dangerous."

"Alright," Robin replied as he closed the cash-filled box. "I won't stay for dinner; I'll swing by Dreamscape Bar later."

Marrisa had hoped he would stay for a meal, but thoughts of the 300,000 made her hesitate.

"Robin, please make sure to return that money to Hugh. Also ... "

Marrisa paused, wanting to mention the girl named Anna from Dreamscape Bar.

However, seeing the brightness in Robin's eyes, she decided to hold back.

Robin waved goodbye, suitcase in hand, as he exited the soup restaurant.

Marrisa watched him go, feeling a stab of sadness, and let out a heavy sigh.

She knew Robin was heading to Dreamscape Bar to see Anna.

Keeping her thoughts to herself, she was painfully aware that Anna and Robin came from entirely different worlds.

In those years, they had been so young and naive, unaware of life's harsh realities.

They didn't grasp how fragile love, friendship, and family could become when confronted with money, status, and power.

At that time, Robin had no idea that Anna was the daughter of a powerful figure in Chinatown's Harlow Group.

With such a significant gap in their social standings, how could they ever truly be together?
