The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1358

Mabel was definitely annoyed.

But even so, she didn't want to stir up more drama. She was eager to meet Xylon and keep things simple.

Lucian, on the other hand, had other plans.

He couldn't stand watching Ryleigh chatting so excitedly with Robin. The fact that she was smiling and talking to some outsider made his blood boil.

From his point of view, anyone who dared show attitude in Hunderra was asking for trouble.

Donald chimed in quickly, "Exactly! Mabel, let's go teach that guy a lesson!"

Mabel paused, considering it. "You know what? Yeah. Let's make them kneel and apologize to me. We'll see which side the elites of Hunderra and Black Faith Order stand on.

"I don't believe for a second that the Blackfaith Seal he's holding is even real!"

Just as Mabel, Donald, and Lucian were about to storm over and humiliate Robin and Daphne, a wave of greetings came from behind them.

"Young Lord Fairfax, congratulations!"

"Reaching Peak Warrior status at your age is truly impressive!"

Mabel froze in place and turned around, spotting Xylon's handsome face shining in the brilliant sunlight.

"Xylon, congratulations!" she called out, instantly perking up.

Whatever irritation she felt toward Robin and Daphne vanished like smoke. Now, all she wanted was to shine in front of Xylon.

"Mabel, you're early," Xylon said warmly.

"Come on, let's head in together."

He was tall, striking, and had a natural air of authority. Xylon walked straight toward her, completely stealing the spotlight.

"There's an even more distinguished guest arriving today," he added casually.

"A more distinguished guest?" Mabel's eyes flickered with curiosity.

In all of Hunderra, aside from the ruler of Rosha or her father, the Duke of Hunderra, who else could Xylon consider such an honored guest?

Xylon smiled. "The Master of the Crownward Syndicate of Netheris. He'll be presiding over my Peak Warrior advancement ceremony."

"The head of the Crownward Syndicate? Now that's serious prestige," someone nearby murmured.

Everyone around nodded in amazement.

The Black Faith Order seemed to have gained significant favor with the Crownward Syndicate in Netheris.

They'd even sent two master levels from the Crownward Syndicate. Talk about showing the Black Faith Order some serious respect.

Lucian, however, was getting impatient watching Mabel stick so closely to Xylon.

His mind was racing. With Ryleigh hanging around Robin, how could he possibly relax?

Donald, too, was growing uneasy.

He'd always had a complicated relationship with Mabel, neither fully in nor out.

She never rejected him, nor did she give him a clear answer.

In the last six months, he'd already spent over three or four million Netheris coins on her, yet she always kept him at arm's length.

Now, seeing her so friendly with Xylon, how could he sit there and do nothing?

He and Lucian exchanged looks, both thinking the same thing. Mabel needed to distance herself from Xylon.

But as they searched for Robin and Daphne, they saw they had already entered the Black Faith Order compound.

Robin and Daphne entered the Black Faith Order's courtyard, where a crowd had gathered.

"Mabel, look at that jerk over there. Let's go teach him a lesson!" he suggested.

Mabel looked back at Xylon, who seemed too busy to chat.

She figured now was as good a time to shake things up.

She gestured to her four bodyguards.

All four were top-tier warriors from the Hunderra household, Peak Warriors, each of them.

The four Peak Warriors bowed respectfully, eager to please the Duke's daughter. "Don't worry, Ms. Lovett. We'll make sure they're kneeling at your feet!"

Mabel, Donald, and Lucian shared a sly smile.

"Let's go watch," Mabel said with a grin. "Let's see how this guy begs for mercy in front of four Peak Warriors!"

The four Peak Warriors marched up to Robin and Daphne, their voices cold. "Stand up! Tell us who and where you're from, or I'll make you crawl out of here!"

Kobe, Ryleigh, and Alaric were stunned.

They looked at the four Peak Warriors' insignia, identifying them as Hunderra household guards.

When they saw Mabel, Donald, and Lucian approaching with smug grins, Ryleigh understood immediately.

It was clear that Mabel was still upset about Robin and Daphne's earlier behavior. She was looking for trouble at the Black Faith Order's celebration.

Without wasting any time, Ryleigh stood up and walked over to Mabel's side. "Mabel, what do you think you're doing?" she asked firmly.

"Let me give you some advice; don't push this further. The consequences could be serious."
