The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1225

A suffocating silence enveloped the Northwest Defense Command Center.

Alexander hurried forward. "Mr. Ramsey, he ... he was my instructor during my special training at the military academy. Please, show him mercy."

Dimitri roared, "Alexander, you bastard! I ought to have you executed for being such a coward!"

Before he could react, Robin struck him hard across the face.

Dimitri's service pistol slipped from his grasp, landing instantly in Robin's hand.

His burly frame crashed against the conference table with a heavy thud.

After struggling for a moment, he managed to push himself back up, panting. "You barbarian! How dare you provoke the great Tanqueria? You are going to regret this! This will be the nightmare that haunts you for the rest of your life!"

Robin sneered. "So what if I threaten you? What can you do about it?"

"Dimitri, shut up!" Yakonov sprang from his seat in panic.

"Mr. Drakebane, please, let's not be rash. I think we should sit down and talk.

"This is all just a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding or not, it makes no difference to me." Robin scoffed.

"If you hadn't conspired with the Dark Syndicate and the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance to assassinate me, do you really think you'd still have the chance to sit here and negotiate?

"You tried to kill me. Now, you'll suffer my wrath!"

With that, Robin reached out his cold, snow-like hand, grabbed Yakonov by the hair, and flung him to the ground in front of Jane.

"Kill him! Avenge everyone who died in Snowy Valley!"

With a sharp slash, blood sprayed through the air.

Jane's blade sliced Yakonov's throat open in one clean motion.

The Northwest Defense Command Center fell into a deathly silence.

Dimitri, who had been seething with rage and eager to strike down Robin just moments ago, now stood frozen—too terrified to utter a word.

His eyes, once blazing with fury, were now filled with shock and horror.

He knew that if he so much as spoke another word, this ruthless Divine Drakebane would slice his head off without hesitation.

Alexander swept his gaze across the room and let out a long sigh.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Chief of the Northwest Defense Command Center, Yakonov, colluded with the Dark Syndicate and the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance, intending to trade Mr. Ramsey's life for his own political ambitions.

"A few days ago, Yakonov issued an order to carry out a missile exercise in Snow Valley.

"This military exercise was conducted without the command and approval of High-command Headquarters.

"This reckless action has already brought great disaster to the Northwest Defense Command Center.

"I believe that the senior officials at High-command Headquarters will make the wisest decision to calm and resolve this incident.

"I hope you all refrain from complicating things and wait for the final ruling from High-command Headquarters."

Robin turned and walked out of the Command Center.

All the officers in the Command Center watched his imposing figure, their hearts pounding.

This Eastern man, known as Divine Drakebane in the World of Darkness, was truly worthy of that title.

The aura he emanated left them—generals who had risen through the ranks during peaceful times—shaken and terrified.

If High-command Headquarters did not take the wise course of action, Tanqueria would be faced with an unpredictable catastrophe.

...

Meanwhile at the Strategic Conference Hall of Tanqueria's National Security Bureau ...

The Chief of the National Security Bureau, Valdemar, was listening to the briefing from the Chief of the National Security Special Operations Bureau, Vladim, and the Chief of the Northwest Secret Intelligence Division, Mariovic, about the detailed process of Yakonov's collusion with the Dark Syndicate and the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance.

The Chief of the Northwest Defense Command Center, Yakonov, had conspired with foreign dark forces to further his power ambitions, using the assassination of Divine Drakebane as leverage, and had unauthorizedly used his position to launch a missile attack on Snow Dragon Pool.

Mariovic said in a fit of rage, "Mr. Valdemar, Mr. Vladim, Yakonov commanded a mighty army and ruled with iron-fisted tyranny.

"As the Chief of the Northwest Secret Intelligence Division, I repeatedly tried to report it to the higher-ups at High-command Headquarters after receiving important intelligence, but I was constantly under close surveillance by Yakonov's people and couldn't send it out.

"It wasn't until the situation escalated that I found an opportunity to escape, risking my life while fleeing from the Northwest Defense Command Center under their constant pursuit.

"I realized that if I didn't inform Tanqueria High-command Headquarters soon, Divine Drakebane would wreak havoc beyond control.

"Worse still, Draconia redeployed and adjusted its forces in every war zone a week ago. This is an extremely dangerous sign.

"Draconians have always been known worldwide for their patience and friendliness.

"Right now, we still don't know whether he actually controls the super weapon launch system.

"If that launch system is in his hands, it will become the most terrifying weapon against us. We have no choice but to consider Tanqueria's future."

Just then, a secretary from the National Security Bureau hurried to the Chief of Secret Intelligence Division Vladim and handed him a confidential report.

Vladim scanned the document, and his face turned ashen.

The report confirmed that Yakanov had been killed by Divine Drakebane, and Drakebane himself was heading toward the northwest border between Draconia and Tanqueria, preparing to cross into Draconian territory.

Vladim steadied his racing heart and handed the intelligence file to Valdemar, Chief of Northwest Defense Command Headquarters.

"General Yakanov was killed by Divine Drakebane half an hour ago."

Valdemar slammed his palm on the table. "Unbelievable!

"Tanqueria's honor will not be trampled by a mere savage!

"Mr. Maximus, I want the National Armament Bureau to supply the long-range armor-piercing rounds immediately. I will deploy Tanqueria's most elite sniper unit to take down Drakebane!

"I will personally submit an emergency request for approval from Tanqueria's High-Command Headquarters. Drakebane must be eliminated within Tanquerian borders!

"At the same time, the National Security Bureau will send our elite special operations unit to join the mission!"

Within moments, the top-secret assassination order against Drakebane was activated by Tanqueria's National Security Bureau.

The Chief of Northwest Defense Secret Intelligence Division, Mariovic, frowned deeply and stood up. "Mr. Valdemar, I urge you to think carefully before issuing this order.

"From what I've gathered, Draconia may be keeping silent for now, but the situation is far more dangerous than it seems.

"If this incident involving Divine Drakebane isn't handled properly, it could lead to grave consequences.

"We ... we cannot afford to lose Draconia as an ally.

"What I mean is, why not let the Draconian ambassador in Tanqueria handle this? Their own people will take care of Divine Drakebane."

Valdemar let out a cold chuckle. "I'll report this to Headquarters, but this matter is not within my jurisdiction.

"Anyone who threatens Tanqueria's security must be eliminated!

"Execute the order!"
