The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 274 I Must Take Robin Away

Cyrus released the safety on his handgun, advancing cautiously toward Robin.

He was worried that, in a desperate moment, Robin might take Hayley hostage.

Noticing Cyrus's approach, Hayley turned and snapped, "Cyrus, what are you doing? "Robin saved my life. If you want to shoot him, you'll have to go shoot me first! Cyrus paused. "Hayley, I'm just doing my duty. Don't make this difficult, alright?

"Do you realize how dangerous this is? Get back here now.

"He just killed three people. He's highly dangerous!"

Hayley scoffed. "Spare me the talk about 'duty'! I looked into what's really happening here before I came."

She pointed toward the bodies scattered around the bar as she spoke.

"These people were all Terenova sc*m. You should have arrested them long ago, but you let them wreak havoc.

"Robin did what was needed-he protected Terenova from real threats.

"And yet, here you are, pointing your gun at him. I can't tell if you're serving justice or protecting these monsters!"

Cyrus knew all too well that Hayley was speaking the truth.

Adrian and his gang were nothing but monsters.

Under Demberoa law, these people should have faced justice long ago.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

But as just a SWAT team captain, that was beyond his reach.

He could only follow orders.

Even though he despised Adrian and his gang, there was nothing he could do.

Faced with Hayley's fierce words, Cyrus found himself speechless.

Seeing Cyrus hesitate under Hayley's questioning, Anna spoke up, displeased. "Ms. Hayley, you're the mayor's daughter. You should uphold his dignity, not interfere with law enforcement! "Acting like this will only cause trouble for your father!"

Hayley raised an eyebrow. "And who do you think you are, to lecture me?

"My father's never spoken to me like that. Go away!"

Anna's face flushed bright red.

Cyrus had always been fond of Hayley, and Anna's tone only added to his irritation.

He turned to Anna and said coldly, "Ms. Harlow, please don't speak to Hayley like that. She's not wrong!"

Anna was momentarily taken aback, then replied coldly, "Captain Patel, you're executing the mayor's orders to apprehend criminals. How can you allow irrelevant people to interfere with your duties?

"We, the Harlows, donate significant funds every year to support the City SWAT team and law enforcement agencies, hoping you'll uphold the integrity of the law!

"Is this how you conduct official business? You're wasting taxpayers' money!

"If this continues, the Harlows will file a complaint with the city government's ethics office!"

Cyrus frowned. "I never said I wouldn't investigate the incident at Dreamscape Bar.

"I just haven't fully investigated the details of the incident yet.

"So, I can't determine who the criminals are.

"At this point, there are some unexpected circumstances the mayor's daughter is still with a suspect.

"I have to ensure Ms. Hayley's safety.

"What if I act recklessly and she gets hurt?

"Can you take responsibility if something happens to her?"

Anna glared at Cyrus in frustration.

Looking up at Robin, who was tightly held by Hayley, Anna felt a wave of unease.

She couldn't understand how Robin knew the mayor's daughter.

He's Ms. Hayley's savior?

"Is this what you call strength, Robin?" Anna's voice dripping with disdain.

Robin smiled and replied, "I suppose it is. After all, it's just what you referred to as connection, right?"

He gently pushed Hayley's arm away. "You should go over there. This doesn't concern you."

Hayley tightened her grip on Robin. "No, Robin, I want to stay with you!"

Cyrus let out a sigh. "Hayley, come over here right now!

"Even if he saved you, he shot someone. I have to take him back and follow the proper legal procedures.

"Don't worry. The city government will ensure everyone here receives a fair outcome."

Hayley smiled coldly. "I don't believe a word you say!

"If everything were as fair as you say, would we be in this situation today?

"The Grimwolf Crew are nothing but sc*m!"

"Every citizen in Terenova knows they've been trafficking drugs, forcing decent women into drug addiction and prostitution, extorting businesses for protection money, bullying the weak, and running rampant for years.

"Let me ask you this. Have you, in your uniform, truly enforced the law?"

Cyrus knew that Hayley was speaking the truth.

But as a SWAT team captain, he had no authority to question any of this.

He flushed and stammered, "Ms. Hayley, t-this isn't within my scope of duties. I'm just here to carry out orders."

Hayley let out a cold laugh. "Carrying out orders?"

"Hmph! Cyrus, I really look down on you. Ask yourself what kind of orders you're following."

Anna furrowed her brow and said

coldly, "Ms. Hayley, don't forget that the Terenova city government is under your father's administration."

Hayley shot Anna a sidelong glance. "I don't need your reminders!"

Turning back to Robin, she took his hand. "Robin, let's go outside."

"Wait!" Anna blocked Hayley's path.

Hayley glared at Anna in frustration. "What right do you have to stop me? Move aside!"

Cyrus stepped forward. "Hayley, please stop this. I have to take y

he regardless of whether

friend

he's guilty or not."

SWO

Hayley nodded. "Alright, my dad will be here soon, and I'll ask him directly what crime Robin is accused of."

She pointed to the bodies on the ground. "These people are scum; the citizens of Terenova want them dead. "Their crimes deserve the death penalty!

"And yet, you sit idly by.

"Robin eliminates these threats for the people, yet you're using the law as an excuse to arrest him!

"Cyrus, do you really believe you're worthy of that uniform?

"Hmph! I have no respect for you!"

Cyrus flushed. "Hayley, please don't say that. I-I have to follow orders!"

At that moment, a middle-aged man entered quickly, flanked by two bodyguards and a secretary.

"Mr. Douglas," Cyrus immediately said, bowing respectfully.

The newcomer was none other than Douglas, the mayor of Terenova.

He glanced at the brutal scene in the bar and frowned slightly.

Anna smiled politely. "Hello, sir. I'm Anna Harlow."

Douglas nodded. "Hello, Ms. Harlow."

Hayley pulled Douglas over to Robin. "Dad, this is Robin. The one I told you about-the one who saved me on the plane."
