The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 853 The Poison of the Soul-Capturing Parasite

For a moment, Nigel stood frozen, unsure of how to react.

He hadn't expected Robin to point fingers at him.

However, Nigel didn't explode in anger.

Instead, he maintained a neutral expression, observing how the situation would develop.

He still wasn't sure if Robin's actions were a direct accusation or just a diversion.

Mike, equally taken aback, hesitated for a long while before finally replying, "Master Ramsey, I dare not speak out of turn.

"Lord Westeria holds a position of great authority, far beyond one like me to make any assumptions."

"It's fine, speak freely," Robin said indifferently. "Tell us exactly what you think!"

Mike paused for a moment and said, "Alright, since you insist, Master Ramsey, I'll speak plainly

"There was a high possibility that your deduction was correct, but there could be unforeseen Complications during the transmission of orders among the seven Orderly Officers. "However, if you are asking for evidence to pinpoint who was behind the delayed reinforcement that night, I have none to offer."

Rhett shot Nigel a strange look.

Before Mike could finish, he darkened his expression and said, "Nigel, give me a straight answer. Did you have something to do with this?"

"Hmph! You're full of nonsense!" Nigel snorted.

"When I followed the Dragon Lord into battle years ago, I swore an oath that if I ever betrayed him, I would be struck by lightning and never find rest in death if I did! "Rhett, others might suspect me, but you... you old fool what gives you the right to doubt me?"

Before Nigel could continue, Robin spoke up again, "Captain Riverson, do you think Lord Southmere could be involved?"

Rhett froze briefly, then fell silent.

Jayden slammed his hand on the table, furious. "Rhett, you b*stard! For twenty years, I've believed you were responsible for the delayed reinforcements that night!

"All these years, you've been in cahoots with that sc*undrel Skylar, doing all kinds of shady deals!

"I strongly suspect that it was you who betrayed the Dragon Lord!"

Rhett was livid. "Jayden, what nonsense are you spouting!
