The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

The Deadly 992

"Yes, sir!" Gavin snapped into position. "All elite members of Dragon Soul Special Forces, head to the Island Restaurant in Duskhaven. Move out!"

The soldiers of Dragon Soul Special Forces moved as one, their steps sharp and full of confidence as they made their way toward the exit of the L2 mystic realm

Kennard's face turned a deep shade of purple from rage. "Commander-in-Chief Ramsey, what do you think you're doing? I'm trying to give you a speech, and you answer with arrogance? Get back here right now!"

"A speech?" Robin raised an eyebrow, clearly uninterested. "Who are you to be giving anyone a speech?"

"How dare you... "Kennard's voice shook with frustration. "You soldiers are so crude. I-I won't lower myself to your level." He clenched his fists, trying to maintain his composure. "I'm here as a representative of the higher-ups... Robin let out a mocking laugh. "Don't try that higher-up nonsense with me! Do you really think they'd send someone like you to give a speech?

"When Dragon Soul was struggling, where were you with your so-called 'guidance'?

"And now that we've achieved some success, you come out of nowhere to 'guide' us? What are you even talking about?

"Are you going to teach us how to waste time? How to sit back and protect ourselves? How to game the system for profit?

"You're just an office-bound theorist who's never seen real combat, living your comfortable desk life, lecturing us with your ridiculous ideas. And you think you have the right to lecture my soldiers? "Who the hell do you think you are?"

"How dare you talk to me like that!" Kennard's body shook with rage. "Even if I'm here as a technical consultant, you cannot treat me this way."

Robin pointed directly at Kennard's face. "Don't you see how exhausted they are after working nonstop for hours? You come here, living a cushy life just to get some attention for yourself.

"You didn't even offer a word of concern. All you've done is lecture the Dragon Soul elite, who've been risking their lives for the last 20 hours!

"And then you have the audacity to say that their hard-earned victories are thanks to you and your precious association? What are you trying to pull here?

"You want to take credit for their achievements? This isn't the place for that!

"Every one of these soldiers could teach you a thing or two, you little office politician, hiding behind the 'higher-ups, acting like you're the king of the world. You're nothing!"

The Dragon Soul Special Forces members couldn't hold back their laughter.
