The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 1349 The Black Faith Order

Finished

Everyone in the banquet hall of Gyro Castle sat frozen in place, not daring to utter another word.

Evander, the head of Gyro Castle’s city guard and a High–tier Warrior of the Black Faith Order, had been sent flying by a single slap from their guest. No one could’ve predicted such an outcome.

Even the top martial arts expert of the Black Faith Order couldn’t knock Evander away with one strike.

Those present estimated Evander had been thrown back nearly a hundred feet.

Even though he was a High–tier Warrior with strong resistance, that kind of force was enough to cause serious internal injuries.

After a moment of stunned silence in the grand banquet hall, everyone immediately stood up, lined up, and bowed deeply before Robin.

“Greetings, Master!”

Caius was especially shaken, falling to his knees before Robin to apologize profusely for Evander’s offense.

Gyro Castle’s high–ranking officials and wealthy elites scrambled to get close to Robin, eager to curry favor.

Establishing any connection with a leader from the Crownward Syndicate would be the greatest honor of their lives.

Some of them even dreamed of using this connection to climb the social ladder and break into the upper echelons of the Netheris.

But Robin simply waved them off, clearly uninterested in wasting words on their flattery.

Seeing this, Caius quickly said, “Ladies and gentlemen, the Master has just returned from a hunt in the Dark Woods and is quite exhausted. Please, take your seats. Once he’s had some wine and rest, if there’s time, perhaps we can arrange a formal audience.”

Once everyone returned to their seats, Caius bowed apologetically to Robin. “Master, I will make sure Evander comes to apologize and accept punishment for his offense.”

But Evander was already gone when he turned toward the banquet hall entrance.

Caius frowned deeply. He knew full well–Evander must have gone to the Black Faith Order to file a complaint.

To have one of their own publicly humiliated by a slap was a disgrace the Black Faith Order had never suffered before.

A confrontation was now inevitable.

Still, Caius didn’t want to say it outright. He was curious to see how Robin would respond to the Black Faith Order’s impending challenge.
