Chapter 237
Chapter 237 Assassin of the World of Darkness
The girl in the white dress felt embarrassed as she noticed everyone in the restaurant staring in her direction.
Gathering her belongings quickly, she stood up and declared, "Never mind, I'm full. No need to change anything." She then politely nodded at the man in the thick glasses, saying, "Thank you!"
The man with the thick glasses realized that the girl was clearly upset by the unreasonable behavior of the boy's family. Anger flickered in his eyes as he coldly remarked, "Control your son!"
Immediately, the boy's father erupted, "What's it to you whether I control my son or not? You have no right to lecture me!"
The man merely shook his head with a disdainful smile.
The girl, feeling the tension rise, quickly grabbed his arm. She urged, "Mister, let it go. I don't want you to get into trouble because of me. I really am finished eating." Taking a deep breath, the man smiled indifferently. "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Ignoring the rudeness of the boy's father, he returned to his seat.
Everyone thought the impending conflict had been diffused, but just as the girl was about to leave the table, the boy, seeing his father arguing with her, suddenly dashed over. In a fit of rage, he flipped the steaming pot of hot broth right onto her.
The boiling liquid splashed across the girl's arms and legs.
Vera, who was nearby, let out a shrill scream.
The boy's ferocity equally stunned Robin.
How could a ten-year-old child be so cruel?
The scalding broth burned the girl, causing severe injuries.
The man in thick glasses hurried to her side, cradling her as she started to faint.
He swiftly assessed her injuries and hurried her towards the faucet.
The scene unfolded so rapidly that no one had time to react.
Vera stood up and shouted, "Your child has burned her! Someone call for an ambulance!
She exclaimed, "That boy is absolutely despicable!"
Seeing the chaos unfold, the father did not want to linger any longer; he scooped up his son and headed for the exit.
"Stop!" Vera blocked their path.
The mother swung her hand toward Vera, but Robin grabbed her wrist. "Nobody leaves! This matter isn't settled yet; how could you leave?"
"Mind your own business! Get out of the way!" The father shouted, trying to push Robin aside.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the man in thick glasses had approached the father silently.
Without uttering a word, he snatched the boy away from his arm.
Before the parents could react, he shoved the boy's head into the boiling broth at their table.
The father stood frozen in shock as the scene unfolded.
By the time he regained his senses, he rushed over to save his son.
Before he could approach them, the man with the thick glasses caught him off guard by swiftly stabbing a fork into his throat.
At that moment, the father realized that this seemingly weak man was a ruthless figure.
It was too late for him to realize this.
Not only was his son being cooked in the boiling broth, but he himself was now on the ground, bleeding out from a fatal injury. The mother stood frozen in horror.
Her son had always been rude, and no one had ever dared to stand up to him.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
How could this happen today?
Her husband was dead at her feet, and her son's life hung in the balance!
Yet the man in thick glasses had no intention of sparing her.
He dragged the lifeless boy before her, walked coldly up to the woman, and stabbed a fork into her throat.
With that, he tossed the boy's body aside and scooped up the injured girl, rushing toward the exit.
In an instant, chaos erupted in Hot Pot Haven.
Meanwhile, Talia and her companions, who had been watching from the entrance, realized something was terribly wrong.
They immediately locked their sights on the man with the thick glasses.
Robin recognized him from a photo sent via the Dark Web.
The World of Darkness, code-named Viper, sent this man as an assassin.
Originally from Kofror, his real name was Jabez Orlov.
He appeared frail, but his methods were merciless.
Rumor had it that he was once a doctor.
After an heir of a wealthy Kofror family brutally murdered his sister, he abandoned his medical career and spent five years honing his skills.
He single-handedly wiped out the tycoon's entire family, thus embarking on the path of an assassin.
Earlier, Viper had been kind to the
girl at Table 13, perhaps because she reminded him of his own sister with her gentle demeanor and quiet beauty.
Otherwise, he would never have sacrificed his mission for such an incident.
The World of Darkness would issue him a death warrant for his unprofessional error, guaranteeing an endless pursuit.
Talia stepped in front of Jabez.
She warned, "Stop right there!"
Jabez nodded politely and pointed at the girl in his arms.
In an instant, he darted to the left.
Talia and her colleagues immediately pursued him.
Jabez fired a shot at the ceiling, causing all the patrons to duck for cover.
As Talia passed Robin, he caught her arm.
"You" Talia pointed her gun at Robin and roared.
"Let me go! Or I'll have you executed for obstructing my duties!"
Ignoring her, Robin pulled her into his embrace. He scooped her up and spinned her around in place.
Talia kicked and clawed, shouting, "Let me go!"
Suddenly, she saw a flash of silver hurtling toward her.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Three silver-throwing daggers whizzed past and narrowly missed her eyes.
Talia could almost feel the chilling aura of death radiating from the blades.
Having worked in law enforcement for years, she recognized the lethality of those daggers; they had taken many lives, leaving behind pools of blood.
It had seen blood, which explained its chilling aura.
Robin's hands firmly grasped all three daggers at that moment.
Talia stared at him and was momentarily entranced by his effortless grace.
In the next instant, Robin tossed the daggers with the precision of a magician.

set
Two daggers sliced through the chaotic air, maneuvering around stone columns and piercing the side of a cloaked man on the eastern side of Hot Pot Haven.
"Chief Cross, watch your right!" Dustin yelled.
Talia noticed a tall Rashea man raising a gun, preparing to shoot at her and Robin.
Panic surged within her, but it was too late to dodge.
The Rashea man pulled the trigger, sending a bullet racing toward them at unimaginable speed.
"Bang!" The sound of the gunshot echoed throughout the restaurant, followed by a wave of terrified screams.
Everyone ducked low, fearing the bullet would strike them.
Vera stood frozen in disbelief, clearly shocked by the unfolding chaos.
Gasping for air, she shouted, "Robin!"
