The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1300

"Old Fred, where have you been all this time?" Robin grumbled into the voice intercom. "I almost died in Snow Valley, and you didn't show up! You old bastard, always distracted by pretty women and forgetting about me!"

Old Fred chuckled hoarsely. "How could a few bad guys kill my disciple so easily? Besides, as long as the white dragon in the Snow Dragon Pool is around, no one can harm you."

Robin paused. "Wait, you know about the white dragon in Snow Valley?"

Old Fred laughed again. "Of course. Robin, you should have figured it out by now. I'm Shadow, the personal guard of the Dragon Lord from back then.

"I should have left with the Dragon Lord 20 years ago, but I stayed behind at the request of Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon to look after you while you were still young."

Robin had a lot of questions. "Where are you now? You've been keeping so many secrets, making me fall into your traps. Do you think it's fun?"

Old Fred chuckled again, his rough laugh carrying a sense of sadness and helplessness.

"Robin, the world is always more complicated than you think.

"You can only build your understanding of fate bit by bit. Through your struggles and discoveries, the path you create will make you stronger.

"In this world, only your strength can give you everything you seek."

"Then tell me ... " Robin trembled. "Where are my grandpa and dad? Why didn't you save them when they were in trouble at Dragon Manor?"

"I couldn't be everywhere at once back then. By the time I arrived, it was already too late." Old Fred sighed.

"Robin, you'll understand more in the future. When you meet the Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon, they'll explain everything.

"I can't say much now. My power is fading ... "

On the other end of the intercom, Old Fred seemed to weaken suddenly.

"Power?" Robin asked, confused. "Old Fred, what's happening to you?"

"It's alright, Robin." Old Fred took a deep breath.

"The dragon dagger was given to you by Young Lord Dragon. As long as you have the dagger and the Golden Dragon pendant, you'll see the truth of this world.

"Though your journey will be tough, it's your duty and responsibility.

"I ... I must leave. If you break through the obstacles with your strength, we'll meet again one day!"

Then, Robin could hear Old Fred's faint breaths over the intercom.

He nervously asked, "Old Fred, what's happening to you?"

From childhood on, Old Fred had been his guide, teaching him everything, helping him grow into a great hero.

Beneath his carefree demeanor, Old Fred always held a heart full of love and righteousness.

Hearing that Old Fred was fading away, Robin felt his heart ache. "Old Fred, what's happening?

"You better not die! I still haven't even seen you!"

There was silence on the other end, then a faint chuckle.

"Kid, looks like you still care."

"Quit the nonsense! Just tell me what happened!" Robin shouted. "If someone hurts you, I swear I'll take them down—even if it means blowing up the whole planet!"

Old Fred laughed softly. "Robin, I've told you—no one can kill me. You must never let your emotions take control. That's when everything starts to fall apart.

"As for the chip Mrs. Monroe gave you, the code's been broken. Someone will send it to you soon, and you'll find out all its secrets.

"You didn't let me down. You gave the world a harsh wake-up call."

"You're Sergio!" Robin said, realizing who it was.

"Correct, Mr. Drakebane. Your success was thrilling—but it wasn't big enough."

"Not big enough?" Robin echoed. "What do you mean?"

Sergio replied, "You should wipe out Autreynia completely! That's the only way forward!

"Those arrogant Westerners have always pushed the limits of humanity. They don't deserve to stay on this planet."

Robin snorted. "You've got it all wrong. I'm not your tool, and I never will be. If you think I'll help you destroy anyone, forget it."

Remembering Old Fred's warning, Robin began to suspect the true masterminds behind years of chaos might be the Curnows.

They were planning something huge.

Robin continued, "If Autreynia falls, the world will fall apart too. Another Autreynia will rise. You'll just be starting another war!

"Sergio, if you think you can use me for this plan, you're wrong!"

There was a pause. Then, Sergio said, "If you don't obey me, the light-speed warship will turn on you.

"I can make you, but I can also destroy you! Still don't believe me? Just wait."

Suddenly, a loud alarm blared in the cockpit.

The light-speed warship started falling fast—from over 30,000 feet above the ground.
