The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 817 Fate Is So Unfair
In the heart of Poinegreen, Southmere, a grand and mysterious luxury villa stood tall.
Finished
Inside the grand hall, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and long hair sat in the center, exuding a commanding presence.
This man was none other than Kennedy Brown, the Poison King Sect's leader who had vanished nearly two decades ago.
To his left stood a young man-Liam, chairman of Harmonfield Universal Group.
On Kennedy's right, Rosalie knelt humbly by his side.
"Mr. Kennedy, at 7 a.m. this morning, I forced Paxton Quarles, the general manager of the Dunn Group's Southmere branch, to hand over all company seals. Our people have already taken control of the finance department and the company's accounts.
"Paxton also contacted Shirley's assistant, Amber, as I instructed. However, it seems Shirley has been delayed by something. Amber, along with the directors of the marketing and technical departments, are on their way to the Southmere Poinegreen branch." "What? Shirley hasn't arrived?" Kennedy's drunken eyes snapped open, filled with irritation.
"If she doesn't show up, how can we get Drake to hand over the Dunn Group to us?
"Besides, I've had my eyes on Harmonfield's diva for a long time. She definitely has to be here!"
Rosalie, visibly tense, groveled on the ground in submission. "Please forgive me, Mr. Kenedy. I-I'll find a way to ensure Shirley comes to Poinegreen immediately."
Liam added, "Mr. Kennedy, I have an idea that will guarantee Shirley's arrival."
Kennedy's drunken gaze lit up with a perverse gleam. "Oh, Liam, you're the clever one. Let's hear it."
With a sly smile, Liam glanced at Rosalie, who was trembling on the ground.
"When Amber arrives, we'll use her phone to send a message to Shirley.
"We'll tell her there's been a catastrophic accident at the Southmere development project, and only she can resolve it.
"Shirley trusts Amber completely. Once she sees the message, she'll rush here without hesitation. Then, Mr. Kennedy, you can handle her however you please.
"With Shirley in our grasp, Drake will have no choice but to hand over the Dunn Group.
"Their assets-worth three or four hundred billion-will be more than enough to elevate the Poison King Sect into the largest sect in Draconia!"
Kennedy burst into sinister laughter that carried a foul stench as black smoke and wriggling worms escaped his black lips.
Placing a hand on Rosalie's shoulder, Kennedy grinned wickedly. "Rosalie, when the time comes, I'll give

Hahaha!"

"Yes, Mr. Kennedy," Rosalie replied respectfully as a glimmer of malice flashed through her sorrowful eyes. Shirley, Amber... we're all human!
Why am I born into poverty and had to suffer endlessly while you are born with a silver spoon?
Even Robin-the man I loved-came to despise me because of you, Shirley!
It was you who made me feel so lowly before him.
Not only did you humiliate me, but you also took back the house he let me live in, leaving me with nothing.
You already have everything-why couldn't you let me have even a sliver of happiness?
Shirley, I hate you!
Fate is so unfair! I hate it!
Why do I have nothing but suffering while you have nothing but blessings?
Why?!
Why?!
Why?!noveldrama
I'll prove that I can change my destiny.
I'll show Robin that I'm not weak, or incompetent.
I can achieve everything I desire!
Outside the Poinegreen Airport.
Paxton, the Dunn Group Southmere branch's general manager, stood in the arrival area. Flanked by two Poison King Sect disciples.
Poinegreen was the largest border city in Southmere.
It had attracted the Dunn Group's attention six months ago, leading to a 3 billion capital investment and the establishment of a city development company.
At 3:30 p.m., Amber, along with marketing director Gisselle Welch, technical director Naomi Bell, and the general manager's secretary Lilian Jenkinson, exited the airport.
Paxton's eyes flickered with unease when he realized Shirley wasn't among them.
"Mr. Quarles, what's going on with the Southmere branch?" Amber asked as she and the team approached him.
Payton hesitated and glanced over hic shoulder hefore renlving "Me Dunn ien't with you ove?"

Amber nodded. "Ms. Dunti couldn't make it for now. She asked me, along with Ms. Welch from the marketing department and Ms. Bell from the tech department, to assess the situation and report back to her."
Paxton exchanged a quick glance with the two people beside him before replying, "Alright then, Ms. Jenning. Let's get in the car, and we'll discuss things further."
Without overthinking, the four women followed Paxton and boarded the spacious black Mercedes van.
As soon as they settled into their seats, something unexpected happened. Before Amber and her team could react, the two men inside the vehicle, along with the pair who had been with Paxton earlier, swiftly subdued them. "What are you doing, Mr. Quarles? Why are you tying us up?" Amber shouted.
Paxton sighed. "I'm sorry, Ms. Jenning. I had no choice. They forced me to do this.
"To be honest, these men are from the Poison King Sect.
"Mr. Kennedy invited Ms. Dunn, but you guys came.
"What happens to you now depends on Mr. Kennedy's decision when we get there."
Amber glared at Paxton, her voice trembling with fury. The Poison King Sect? Paxton, what's the meaning of this? What does the Poison King Sect want? What grudge could they possibly have against Ms. Dunn? "This is illegal! You-"
"Silence!" one of the men barked. "Save your words for Mr. Kennedy."
Amber and her team exchanged panicked glances. None of them dared to utter another word.
This was something they had never experienced-a kidnapping.
What could the Poison King Sect possibly want?
Before Amber or the others could say anything more, their mouths were sealed with duct tape, and blindfolds were secured tightly over their eyes.
Half an hour later, the van arrived at a secluded villa deep in Poinegreen.
The vehicle drove straight through the gates and into the estate. The four men dragged Amber and her team out of the car, leading them into the villa's grand hall.
Inside, their blindfolds and gags were removed.
Amber immediately recognized two familiar figures in the center-Liam and Rosalie.
Between them was a man in his fifties with long hair cascading over his shoulders.
Liam rose and approached Amber with a smile that sent chills down her spine. "Ms. Jenning, we meet again. Funny, isn't it? I never thought we'd cross paths like this. Truly amusing." "Liam!" Amber roared, her anger boiling over. "What the hell are you doing? Do you realize this is a crime? This is kidnapping!"

Liam chuckled mockingly. "Crime? Kidnapping? Oh, Ms. Jenning, those words don't exist here.
"In the Poison King Sect, under Mr. Kennedy's rule, the only law that matters is power. Everything else is irrelevant."
"Enough!" Kennedy's voice thundered through the hall Stop wasting time. Contact Shirley immediately"
Rosalie took Amber's phone from Paxton and crafted a nessage to Shirley, mimicking Amber's tone.
