The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 956 Kolton, Kill Him! The images displayed on the massive screen in the estate plaza were shocking, to say the least.

Everyone who watched Sadie's cruel performance was stunned and horrified.

This beloved heiress, so adored by her family, had shown a level of malice that was almost unfathomable.

Even someone like Lachlan, who had witnessed his fair share of bloodshed, could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.

How could a young woman, only 18 years old, commit such a brutal act? How dark and twisted could she be? What terrified Lachlan even more was the realization that his own son was involved in the brutal murder.

His mind swirled in confusion, his thoughts a blur.

He looked again at the man from Draconia, bathed in the soft light of the morning.

His instincts were screaming that this was a predator, a bloodthirsty beast.

Lachlan, who had once fought alongside Kolton on the mercenary battlefield, had survived countless battles and escaped death more times than he could count.

The memories of the blood-soaked and violent world he left behind were still fresh, and the terror of it haunted him to this day.

Twenty-five years ago, thanks to his old comrade Kolton, Lachlan had managed to secure a position as the police chief on the island.

He had left behind the violent chaos of the battlefield, settling into the peaceful paradise that the island offered. The terror, the bloodshed, was a thing of the past, or so he thought.

But the man standing before him now evoked a familiar scent-a scent of fearsomeness, a bone-chilling terror that penetrated deeply.

A sense of dread surged within him, an ominous feeling creeping up his spine.

Lachlan stood frozen in dread. Anton's voice, controlled yet full of rage, cut through the air. "Police Chief Lachlan, I have a question for you! "Qacalisle Island is a private estate of the Aldridges. This place is governed by the moral and social standards of a civilized society. As the enforcer of order here, how do you think your son Ellis and Sadie's actions should be punished?" Before Lachlan could respond, Cuthbert snorted dismissively.

"Let's not even discuss the legitimacy of this woman's video," he said. "Whether it was a fabrication designed by those paupers to extort money from my family, it doesn't matter for now." He paused for a moment, letting his words sink in. "What I can tell you is this-no one has the right to interfere with the laws of Qacalisle Island! "Yesterday, Mr. Felix already drafted the chief manager's appointment," he continued, as if announcing his authority.

"After the Cattells are gone, I will take over as the chief manager.

"This means that from today onward, my family will be the true owners of this island.

"On this island, the rules will be what I say they are. I am the law here!" With a sneer, he added, "You think you can challengewith your half-baked video that cfrom those paupers and few words? Ridiculous! Even if the video is real, what does that change? "My daughter is my treasure. No one has the right to convict her!" He straightened, his voice cold.

"If you want a resolution, I'll give you one. On this island, I am everything! "In my world, only the strong have the right to interpret the law." He turned his gaze toward the video again. "As for the events in the video, my legal interpretation is simple: a lowborn woman like Elodie doesn't deserve the Emberleaf Fans. Only someone of my daughter's noble status can own such priceless treasures." Just then, Hendrick Whitehead, the leader of the Market Enforcement Team, hurried over to Cuthbert, eager to please.

He pointed at Ambrose and Dahlia and said, "Mr Cuthbert, those two are the owners of Elodie's Lasagna stall. Yesterday, during a market cleanup, they were discovered operating illegally. They should have been arrested. But these paupers are slippery-they managed to escape during the chaos." Cuthbert scoffed. "Stop wasting my time! Capture them immediately! Charge them with disturbing the market order, spreading false rumors, and colluding with outside enemies to harm this island Execute them on the spot!" Before Hendrick could make a move, Cuthbert's guards entered the estate and delivered urgent news.

"Mr. Cuthbert, Captain Kolton of the Aldridges Guard has arrived at the estate gates." Cuthbert straightened, suddenly invigorated, and gestured excitedly to Robin. "Young man, you're about to regret this! "Captain Kolton has cto check things out for Mr. Felix.

"If he sees that you've caused such a disruption at the party, he'll execute you on the spot! "Hendrick, take those paupers into custody! Oh! And take down that sl*t too!" He turned on his heel and rushed toward the estate gates.

Meanwhile, Kolton and Pierre, accompanied by four guards, entered the estate.

When Lachlan reunited with his old comrade after so many years, he rushed over to greet him with a smile. "Kolton, old friend, it's been too long!" Kolton waved him off. "Lachlan, we'll catch up later." As Lachlan watched Kolton walk away, something caught his attention-Kolton's serious expression.

Kolton, now the captain of the Aldridge Guard, was here for official business with Cuthbert.

It wasn't the tfor reminiscing.

Cuthbert jogged up to Kolton and said, "Mr. Kolton, I've been waiting for you. Apologies, there's been a small issue at the estate" "Please step aside!" Kolton shoved Cuthbert, who wore a bright smile on his face, aside.

He marched up to Robin and bowed deeply. "Mr. Ramsey, I am so sorry. I had no idea things would turn out like En this." Hendrick quickly began calculating in his mind when he saw Kolton arrive at the estate.

This was the perfect opportunity for him to prove himself.

He immediately ordered two of his officers, "Arrest Ambrose and Dahlia, these two illegal vendors!" At the stime, Cuthbert rushed Vel

to Kolton's side, trying to flatter him.

"Captain Kolton, these two were öm engaged in illegal activities yesterday. Their presence could disrupt Mr.

Aldridge's recovery on Qaealisle Island, so..." He stopped mid-sentence when he noticed that Kolton was bowing respectfully to Robin.

Cuthbert, puzzled, looked again at the way Kolton and Robin Stood m together He couldn't make sense of it. As the captain of the Aldridges' guard, Kolton held a position second only to the master of the island.

Why would he show such deference to a young man like Robin? Before Cuthbert could figure out what was happening, Robin pointed at Hendrick.

"Kolton, kill him! "This beast doesn't deserve to live in this world!" Without a second thought, Kolton raised his gun and shot Hendrick dead on the spot.

The estate fell into a heavy silence.
