The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 835 It's Him

Finished

Robin and his companions stepped out of the car, stopping outside the rickety picket fence surrounding the dilapidated thatched house.

Benjamin gazed at the scene before him, mumbling under his breath, "General Whalen was once so high-spirited. How could he have fallen into such a state? Could the information be wrong?"

Robin surveyed the surroundings. Compared to the other homes in the village, with their modern conveniences, this thatched house seemed decades behind the times. To put it bluntly, even dogs wouldn't willingly stay in a place like this. "Who are you looking for?" A woman in her fifties approached from the east. Her name was Serena Proctor.

She sized up Robin and his group, her gaze lingering on the luxurious military vehicle behind them. A mix of fear and suspicion flickered in her eyes.

Ferell stepped forward politely. "Hello, ma'am. Could you tell me if the owner of this house is named Franco?"

Serena looked puzzled. "This house belongs to my brother-in-law's family, but my brother-in-law isn't named Franco. Are you sure you have the right person

"Your brother-in-law?" Ferell hesitated. "Is he a local?"

Serena shook her head. "No, he's not. He came to our village from elsewhere about 20 years ago and has lived here ever since."

"Oh, what's his name?" Ferell asked tentatively.

Serena shivered slightly before answering, "His name is Eliam Naillson."

Ferell froze for a moment, then turned to Benjamin and Robin. "General Ramsey, Mr. Shorts, could we have the wrong place? The owner's name is Eliam." Benjamin frowned and stepped closer to Serena. "Has Eliam always lived here?"

Serena nodded. "Yes. This was originally my sister's house. When Eliam arrived 20 years ago, he had nowhere to stay, so my sister rented it to him. Later, they got married." Benjamin walked back to Robin. "Master Ramsey, could it be possible..."

Robin nodded thoughtfully. "It's very likely General Whalen changed his identity to hide from pursuers." Benjamin turned back. "May we meet him?" He motioned for Ferell to retrieve a few gifts from the car.

Serena glanced at Ferell's friendly demeanor and nodded reluctantly. "He's been bedridden for years. The room's a bit messy."
