The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 916 Mission in the Secret Realm

Cyril snapped out of his momentary confusion and approached Jethro. "General Quintana, it's great to see you again!"

Jethro rose and greeted him with a firm handshake. "Mr. Higgins, allow me to introduce you to Mr. Robin Ramsey, the commander-in-chief overseeing the skills competition." Cyril immediately extended his hand, his smile warm. "Commander-in-chief Ramsey, it's an honor to meet you!"

Robin nodded in acknowledgment.

Cyril studied Robin with a hint of curiosity, his tone softening as he spoke, "Commander-in-chief Ramsey, 20 years ago, I had a close friend who resembled you quite a bit." Robin froze for a brief moment, recognizing who Cyril was referring to.

However, he wasn't keen on revealing too much to him just yet.

The long-standing family feud still loomed, and there were truths left to uncover.

Sharing too much about his past now could disrupt the ongoing investigation.

At this point, it was hard to discern who could be trusted and who was an enemy.

The Summit Meeting of the Thalrex Order was at the heart of it all. But what was its true purpose?

It was only after Young Lord Dragon entered the core of this meeting that the tragedy from 20 years ago resurfaced.

Could these individuals be connected to that catastrophe? It was still too soon to say.

Robin said nothing, offering a brief handshake to Cyril before returning to his seat.

Cyril sensed the coolness in Robin's demeanor but only gave a self-deprecating shrug before turning to Jethro. "General Quintana, what's the situation with Weronnia and their team?"

Jethro adopted the same innocent expression the Weronnia diplomatic attaché had earlier, shaking his head. "We're in the dark, just like everyone else.

"They're so fond of groveling; how could we possibly interfere?"

The Weronnia diplomatic attaché shot an angry glance at Robin. "General Quintana, how can you claim ignorance? He's the one who led us into this mess, and yet you're pretending you don't know anything?" Jethro chuckled. "You've got it wrong. If you're going to be disrespectful or act like a troublemaker, I'm not wasting my time with you!"
