The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 1317 Staying Alive Takes the Most Courage

Robin watched as Old Fred–the man who had raised him from a fragile infant and forged him into an unstoppable force in the underworld–disappeared heroically into the darkness of Hackspire.

His heart felt like it was being torn apart.

Without Old Fred, there would be no Divine Drakebane, undefeated in this life.

And the blood debt from the Dragon Manor massacre would remain unpaid.

Old Fred was once Shadow, the personal bodyguard of the Dragon Lord.

This former top assassin of the underworld, who left no name behind, spent his entire life showing the world what true loyalty meant.

Back then, the Dragon Lord saved Shadow from danger by chance.

From that day on, Shadow dedicated the rest of his life to repaying Dragon Lord and his descendants. noveldrama

His loyalty was pure, unwavering, and unshakable.

Even as the world changed around him, his devotion never wavered.

The Dragon Lord vanished mysteriously because of Sergio and Jenna.

Only Old Fred and a few from that era knew the truth.

Those who once enjoyed the Dragon Lord’s glory, wealth, and power had long since forgotten him.

Only Old Fred held firm to the promise he made, as solid and unshakable as a

mountain.

Robin had never met his grandfather or father, but he spent 20 years relying on Old Fred.

Twenty years had passed in a blink, and to Robin, Old Fred had long become family–his closest kin.

He had planned that on the day he completed his revenge and married Shirley, he would invite this old guy to Harmonfield to celebrate his wedding.

He never expected it to end like this….

To watch helplessly as Old Fred fell into the endless darkness.

At that moment, all Robin could see were the memories of years spent by Old Fred’s side.

Holding a leather whip, Old Fred patiently taught him martial arts, step by step, move by move, guiding him personally.

He led Robin through the blood–soaked world of mercenaries, surviving betrayal and danger in the ruthless underworld.

Everything Robin had, everything he became, was thanks to Old Fred.

It wasn’t until this very moment that Robin understood the depth of his sacrifice and the burden he had carried in silence.

“Ah! Old Fred, that’s not playing fair!”

Robin’s anguished cry tore through the sky.

The chilling mountain winds of the East Zafra Rift howled around him, blowing Divine Drakebane’s long hair.

His dazzling dragon–slaying dagger burst with despair, it pointed directly at the dark, cloud–covered sky.

Divine Drakebane’s cry of heartbreak echoed with endless regret.

That heart–wrenching scream shattered the emotional walls of viewers across the world.

“What happened to the cold, ruthless Divine Drakebane?”

“Even someone as merciless as him can shed tears?”

No one in the world–except Joanna and Shirley–truly understood why he was in such pain.

“He just crushed the Purple Ark, yet he looks broken.”

“Who was that fierce–looking old man from earlier?”

“That might’ve been Divine Drakebane’s mentor–the legendary Old Fred.”

“His mentor? That’s the guy who trained the Divine Drakebane!”

“Rumor has it, 30 years ago, he was the top assassin in the underworld–wherever he went, nothing was left standing.”

“No wonder Divine Drakebane is so terrifying. With a mentor like that, it all makes sense!”

“But why did Old Fred disappear into the endless depths of Hackspire?”

“Legends like him think on a level we can’t understand.”

“Old Fred sacrificed himself to protect Divine Drakebane!”

“After this battle, Divine Drakebane will truly stand as Earth’s number one!”

All around the world, powerful politicians and super martial masters had once plotted to take him down.

Yet in the end, it was Divine Drakebane who stood victorious–at the very top of the world.

The internet fell silent.

No one dared utter a single word of disrespect toward Divine Drakebane.

All that remained was fear and awe.

staircase, rising step by step toward the floating crystal screen.

“Is he … Is he going to follow Old Fred into the endless darkness?”

At that moment, the whole world held its breath.

“Robin!”

Shirley’s desperate voice broke through the silent spacetime.

Through mountains and seas…

Soaring past clouds and distance, echoing through Robin’s earpiece and across the entire network.

Robin suddenly froze in place.

It felt like a blade had pierced straight through his chest.

It was a heart–wrenching pain.

Robin could clearly feel the despair and helplessness in Shirley’s voice from the other end of the line.

“Robin, I support whatever you choose! Just say something. Please. I need to hear your voice!

“Even just one word … No matter what the end result is, I’ll be the happiest woman in the world!

“Meeting you in this life was enough, Robin. Let me hear your voice one last time … ”

At that moment, as the scene unfolded, the internet fell into silence.

A world that had long forgotten warmth was suddenly reminded of the kind of love people spend their lives searching for.

One encounter. A bond that lasted a lifetime.

Even a single word of farewell could warm the longing carried through lifetimes.

Everyone watching felt the weight of this bittersweet farewell.

“Robin!”

Joanna called out anxiously, “As long as you’re still alive, there’s always hope.

“Before Old Fred left, he reminded you to stay alive–your mission isn’t done yet.

“He said this wasn’t a final farewell. There’s still a chance you’ll see him again.

“You’re a warrior, and sometimes, staying alive takes the most courage.

“You still have Shirley, you have me, and so many loved ones and friends. Right now, you need to make the clearest, most level–headed choice.

“But no matter what you decide, you’re Divine Drakebane–the undefeated legend. Just like Shirley, I’ll

“He told you himself, that there are still countless secrets hidden within that chip. This isn’t the end.

“Your fight against the dark forces is only just beginning.”

Robin turned toward the livestream feed from the light–speed warship.

“Joanna, tell Shirley–I’ll be back soon to throw her the most extravagant wedding the world has ever seen!”

At that moment, the world fell silent for a heartbeat, and then erupted into a wave of cheers.

The flood of blessings almost crashed the entire internet.

Kind–hearted people everywhere cheered for Robin.

Cheered for a love so powerful, it moved the world.

Back in Harmonfield, Shirley was crying her heart out.

She’d long forgotten that the whole world was watching their every word.

“Robin, you big jerk! I’ll be waiting for you in Harmonfield!”

The internet went wild-

“I’ll be waiting for you in Harmonfield!”

“Booking my flight to Harmonfield now. No way I’m missing Lord Drakebane’s wedding!”
