The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 901 Bloodshed at Harpton Highlands

On Qacalisle Island, in the southern suburbs of Duskhaven, at the foot of Harpton Highlands, Annie had been tailing four Sakurania assassins.

Her pursuit had led her to a dense, eerie thicket nestled against the base of the mountains.

Harpton Highlands, a region about six miles from Duskhaven, had once been a beautiful and peaceful place, admired by both locals and tourists for its breathtaking views of the sunrise and sunset. However, everything changed two decades ago during the first Qacalisle Summit Meeting held by the Thalrex Order. After that autumn, strange and sinister events began unfolding in the Highlands. People mysteriously vanished or were found dead in the area.

Those who ventured into the thicket returned-if they survived-but mentally broken, as if their minds had been lost to the place.

The events led to the mass evacuation of the area, and over time, Harpton Highlands became an abandoned, forgotten stretch of land.

The early morning air around the foot of Harpton Highlands felt unnaturally quiet, and the overgrown thicket, draped in shadows from the looming mountains, gave off a chilling, foreboding atmosphere. The sense of fear and disorientation seemed to hang in the air. The four assassins, sensing something unusual, stopped in their tracks and turned to face Annie, who had been following them stealthily.

One of the assassins, his voice sharp and demanding, asked, "Who are you? Why are you following us?"

As seasoned professionals, assassins were always meticulous in their preparation.

They never left anything to chance, thoroughly surveying their surroundings before executing a mission.

Annie's sudden appearance caught them off guard.

They had never encountered her before.

As assassins who had been in the field for so long, they were extremely familiar with the methods and codenames of people from the major sects.

Annie showing up here brought them immense uneasiness.

Her techniques and presence felt completely foreign, unlike any sect they knew.

If she were a rookie from some major sect, how had she managed to track them for over six miles without detection?

And where was the man who had been so vigilant earlier?

Such a strange situation made even the most experienced assassins uneasy.

The unknown, after all, is often more terrifying than any known threat.
