The Deadly 902

Chapter 902 Deal With Them Immediately

Blood sprayed into the air, and the world in front of Annie seemed to blur.

In a haze, she saw eight assassins from Sakurania, each clutching their throats as blood poured from their wounds. Fear was evident on their faces.

In the blink of an eye, they all fell, lifeless before her.

Behind them, Robin stood, barely visible, holding a blood-stained dagger.

"Mr. Ramsey ... "Annie's eyes brightened, and she tried to move toward him.

Before she could take a step, darkness swept over her.

Robin quickly caught her as she started to collapse.

Without hesitation, he pulled out an antidote and placed it in her mouth.

Annie had been struck by multiple poisoned crossbow bolts and shuriken, each laced with a deadly toxin. The poison was a custom brew from the Northern Star Sect's assassins.

Anyone hit by it would die almost immediately.

If Annie hadn't taken Sophie's specially crafted detoxifying pill earlier, she would have already been gone. However, the poison had spread deeply through her system, and one antidote wasn't enough to clear it all. Robin quickly gave her a second pill, halting the poison's rapid spread before it could affect her organs. After swallowing the pill, Annie coughed violently, spitting up a few mouthfuls of blackened blood.

She coughed harshly for a few moments, then slowly began to regain her senses.

Robin watched her face come back into focus, pale but slowly showing signs of life.

While she still resembled the Annie he remembered, her expression had changed completely. It was no longer soft or innocent but cold, even filled with a murderous intent. The transformation in her was striking, and for a moment, he might have mistaken her for someone else entirely if she hadn't called his name.

"Annie, what mission did Sophie send you on to Qacalisle Island?" Robin asked calmly.

Annie coughed again, trying to steady herself.

She looked at Robin with wide eyes, then suddenly bowed while speaking in a voice filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Master Ramsey, for saving me!

"The Queen only sent me here to keep an eye on the Northern Star Sect's disciples. I don't know the specifics," she explained, her voice still shaky.

Robin, still adjusting to this changed version of Annie, couldn't help but feel impressed by Sophie's training.

In such a short time, Sophie had not only healed Annie but turned her into a highly skilled assassin.

It was clear that Sophie, the Queen of the Dark Web, had poured considerable effort into Annie's transformation.

But now, Annie's eyes shifted nervously, and she seemed to have no memory of him.

"No need to bow," Robin ordered, his eyes lingering on Annie before him. "Do you remember anything about Brookhaven?"

Annie furrowed her brows, trying to recall, but shook her head. "Master Ramsey, I have no idea what Brookhaven is."

Robin nodded in acknowledgment, then waved her off. "Alright."

"Master Ramsey, if there are no further instructions, I will take my leave," Annie said, bowing low.

"No further instructions," Robin replied, his gaze following her as she walked away, lost in thought.

When Annie had jumped from the building, Robin had carefully examined her injuries. He was certain her brain had not been damaged, so how had she lost her memory? He turned to a guard in blue, who had been standing nearby. "What happened?"

"Master Ramsey, after the Queen treated Ms. Annie, she lost all memory of her past," the guards explained.

"The reason she recognizes you is because the Queen gave her photos and videos to help her remember.

"She doesn't remember anything that happened before she woke up."

"Lost her memory?" Robin murmured, thinking back to the strange look in Annie's eyes. He nodded thoughtfully. "Maybe it's for the best she doesn't recall those painful times." en

Annie came to Qacalisle Island under Sophie's orders to keep track of the Northern Star Sect assassins. But why? Robin knew that many top assassins had gathered on the island, probably for the upcoming Qacalisle Summit.

What makes this summit so significant that it has drawn attention from major sects for decades? Those powerful sects can easily secure wealth or resources-what more could they possibly seek? Is there a hidden secret at the heart of the Thalrex Order's Summit?

And if so, what could it be?

As he pondered these questions, Robin stepped out of the dense, dark forest.

Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream echoed from behind him.

He spun around, staring into the deep forest, where a strange red light flashed before quickly disappearing. What was that?

His dragon-shaped dagger pulsed in his hand, releasing a loud dragon's roar as it resonated with the tension in the air ...

A guard in blue rushed toward him "Master Ramsey, Trix, Zayden, and the others have been brought back to the estate by Mateo's mem

"Oh?" Robin checked his watch. "How long ago was that?"

"They left the convention center about 15 minutes ago," the guard replied quickly.

"Let's go," Robin said, jumping into the car as they sped off.

"Master Ramsey, Mateo's information has been verified," the guard continued, giving more details about the estate overseer, Mateo.

"The Dark Night Alliance has always had close ties with the Moresby family.

"When Mateo was president of the Aldridge's hotel group in Ugonland, he had business dealings with the Dark Night Alliance.

"We're still unsure if Ms. Luella's blood curse has any connection to Mateo.

"From what we've gathered, Mateo's connections to the Dark Night Alliance have been mostly economic.

"We haven't found anything indicating there are more secretive dealings between them."

"However, the three blood curses affecting the Aldridge family might be linked to someone close to Felix.

"Our focus now is on Felix's assistant team.

"There are 30 people on his team, and we'll need to investigate each of them."

"We should be able to identify the responsible party in the next few days."

Robin gave a cold smile. "Money truly is a thief.noveldrama

"Those struggling to survive are burdened with life, while the rich worry about their wealth and their survival."

...

Back at the estate, Mateo and his guards arrived at the back gate with Trix and Zayden in tow.

"Mr. Cattell, Mr. Felix and Ms. Aldridge have arrived at the estate," the family butler, Holden Bond, informed them over the phone.

"But Mr. Felix is refusing to enter. He says he's waiting for a very distinguished friend outside."

Mateo looked confused. "Waiting for a distinguished friend?"

Is there anyone so important that Mr. Felix would treat them like a VIP?

He couldn't help but think Holden was spouting nonsense.

But Holden had been with him for over ten years and never joked. Perhaps someone truly significant is visiting Qacalisle Island.

Mateo turned to the captain of the

guards. "Take them to the rear yard and deal with them immediately. I need to greet Mr. Felix and his important guest."
