The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 936 The Cesars' Revenge

As Gottlieb's words faded, every gaze in the banquet hall turned to Robin.

Half of the Aldridges' wealth was an astronomical sum!

No one could possibly resist such immense temptation!

Luella, too, was staring intently at Robin.

Her eyes rested on the broad shoulders she had once adored and worshipped with her whole heart.

She couldn't understand why her heart was racing uncontrollably.

They say a man's resolve wavers only when the stakes aren't high enough.

The Caffereys, the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance, and nearly 20 of the world's most elite families all pledged loyalty to Robin, offering him all their wealth and power on a silver platter. Could he really remain unmoved?

"Oh, that's certainly an intriguing proposal." Robin's meaningful smile broke Luella's spiraling thoughts.

Her heart trembled violently and tears welled up in her eyes.

Robin was standing beneath the glittering crystal chandelier and the dazzling light stung her vision.

For the first time in her life, she felt true despair and hopelessness.

The lighthouse in her heart had gone dark.

Even Felix, whose expression was usually as steady as a mountain in a storm, couldn't hide the twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He cast a complicated glance at the triumphant Gottlieb.

"Hahaha!" Gottlieb exhaled deeply, the tension and fear that had weighed on him now completely dissipated.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Lord Drakebane!

"Today, I finally understand why you've become the terrifying legend of the World of Darkness.

"It's because you possess a clarity and insight far beyond the reach of ordinary men!

"Most people are shackled by the so-called morals and doctrines they're taught from birth.

"In the face of any great choice, they burden themselves with heavy chains of principle, clinging to ridiculous ideals.

"And so, they remain nothing but fools and slaves, bound to mediocrity.

"But the true treasures of this world are meant for the clever, for those who see past these nonexistent chains.

"They know that only one thing truly matters. Benefit is the key that binds all relationships."

"Lord Drakebane, although we've never met before, I believe that with your unparalleled power and our immense resources and connections, we can achieve the impossible together!" Leandro, the leader of the Spartine Warriors, was quick to recover from the grief he'd been drowning in moments earlier.

Raising his head high, his spirit reignited like a blazing inferno.

He looked like the ambitious young man he was when he first became a warrior.

The annihilation of the Spartine Warriors' South Panacea Ocean and Black Ocean branches could be rebuilt from scratch.

With a titan like Divine Drakebane joining their ranks, they could form an indomitable alliance of shared interests.

There was an old saying that couldn't be more true.

Success isn't determined by how powerful you are but by who you align yourself with.

With Divine Drakebane, the Caffereys, the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance, and the world's 20 most powerful families allying, the Spartine Warriors would be invincible. Being part of such a coalition meant riding the winds of fortune straight to the pinnacle of success.

"Lord Drakebane, congratulations on joining our alliance," Leandro said.

His voice rang out with joy, but an eerie tension began to ripple through the banquet hall.

Everyone stared at Divine Drakebane's imposing figure uneasily.

Even this near-mythical figure wasn't immune to the lure of wealth and power.

He, too, had bowed to greed.

Among the crowd, Pierre's gaze was filled with disappointment.

The towering monument of a man he had once revered had crumbled into a ruin beyond repair.

Luella's tears were now flowing freely as her heart shattered.

Yet a stubborn part of her refused to believe what she was seeing.

This isn't real...

It can't be real!

If such vast riches could bring this mountain of a man to his knees, then what else in this world was even worth cherishing?

Gottlieb looked at Robin respectfully before turning smugly toward Felix.

"Felix, we've known each other for so many years. I truly hoped it wouldn't end with me watching you die miserably before my very eyes.

"From the bottom of my heart, I wish you could spend your remaining years in comfort.

"And I can grant you that if you surrender all of the Aldridges' wealth and security forces to me."

Felix snorted. "The Aldridges have thrived since our founding, becoming an untouchable force. Do you think that the Caffereys and a few clowns like you can make us bow?

"Even if you've set a trap today, we will never hand over everything we've built. "At worst, we'll go down together!"

He turned to Darson and ordered, "Darson, immediately tell all of our security forces stationed on Qacalisle Island to eliminate these enemies who dare to covet the

Aldridges' fortune!"

A heavy silence fell over the hall.

The fury of the world's most powerful family was no joke.

It could mean the deaths of thousands.noveldrama

Yet, after Felix gave his command, there was no response.

The loyal man who had served him for decades stood unmoved.

Gottlieb's mocking laughter broke the suffocating stillness.

"Felix, you would never have imagined that your most trusted assistant of decades was your mortal enemy all along!

"Let me enlighten you before your death.

"Darson is none other than the eldest son of your old rival, Ernst!"

Gasps of shock erupted in the hall.

Is he one of the Cesars?

Darson smiled darkly. "Felix, I've waited decades for this moment!

"All your security forces have already been reassigned far from Qacalisle Island.

"There isn't a single loyal Aldridge soul left on this beautiful island-it's now entirely under the control of Dark Night Alliance!"

"Are you really from the Dark Night Alliance?" Felix glared at him coldly.

Darson nodded as his grin widened.

"After Ernst was saved by the leader, he entrusted me with one mission-revenge. The Cesars exist only to annihilate the Aldridges!

"I infiltrated your side, biding my time to destroy you, piece by piece, until you met your final despair.

"And Felix, today is the day where both you and Luella will die here!

"There will be no peaceful retirement, no growing old in safety.

"We Cesars will not rest until every member of the Aldridges is wiped from this world!"

With that, Darson turned to Robin and extended his hand.

"Lord Drakebane, welcome to our alliance."
