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.

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!
