The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Liam Hamilton

In the leisure area near the banquet hall, Shirley noticed an increasing crowd gathering

She was wary of provoking Liam further or risking him saying something out of line to Robin.

She felt certain that if things escalated, with Robin's temperament, he wouldn't hesitate to confront Liam directly.

Steadying herself after the kiss on Robin's face, Shirley gave a gentle smile.

"Mr. Liam, let's avoid any further misunderstandings. Il enter the hall with my boyfriend first."

Liam's eyes momentarily darkened, but he quickly maintained his charming, gentlemanly expression.

"Of course, Shirley," he replied, gesturing for her to proceed.

Shirley took Robin's arm, guiding him toward the hall.

Meanwhile, Liam signaled a waiter, requesting a glass of red wine. He downed several glasses, gradually tempering his intense anger. Observing the situation, guests quickly offered polite remarks before discreetly departing, not wanting to be the target of Liam's wrath.

Many sensed that today's events wouldn't go unaddressed by him.

Oscar and Carol, uneasy and visibly anxious, approached Liam

"Mr. Liam, please understand-Shirley has always been a bit headstrong. Don't be upset," Oscar pleaded.

"We had no clue about this, Carol added hastily. "Robin has likely misled her with smooth talk. We'll make sure to handle this through her grandfather! Please don't think poorly of her, Mr. Liam" Taking a deep breath, Liam swirled the wine in his glass, his expression ning.

"It's okay. I know Shirley is willful and naughty. I've always said that as be patient with her."

sn't cross the line, I'll

Just then, Eric burst in, visibly upset.

"Liam, I was attacked by that Robin Ramsey over at Violeterest Bar!"

Eric went on to recount the story, clearly exaggerating the details to incite Liam further.

"Robin again?" Liam seethed. "Get to the bottom of who this brazen guy is!"

He kicked Eric in frustration. "How many times must I tell you to show some restraint? Apart from your foolish antics with women and causing chaos, what else are you capable of?"

"Liam, it was Robin who started it!" Eric protested, but Liam cut him off, casting a cold look at Eric's bodyguards. "What exactly are you being paid for?"

The bodyguards quickly dropped to their knees. "Mr. Lam, we didn't want to cause trouble at Violeterest

"Fine. I know you have your reasons, Liam replied, his herce expression softening as he forced a smile.

But as the bodyguards started to feel relieved, he continued coldly. If you can't handle a simple task, this will be your last chance. Have their hands and feet severed, and throw them into the seal" "Mr. Liam, please spare us! We- some of the guards pleaded desperately.

Liam's men swiftly gagged them, covered their heads, and led them out of the Violeterest Convention Center.

Oscar and Carol watched in horror and barely dared to breathe.

"Robin, Shirley... Well, well!"

Liam chuckled, adjusted his bow tie, and walked back toward the banquet hall.

At a distance, Alice had witnessed the whole scene. She stayed frozen in place, only breathing out once Liam had gone inside.

That Robin, clueless fool. I just hope he doesn't drag the Millers down with him," she muttered..

Vera looked amused. "Alice, you're overthinking it.

"Didn't you see how affectionate Shirley was with Robin? That kiss was enough to make anyone envious.

"Even if he's crossed Liam, Shirley will back him up-none of this involves you."

"What do you mean?" Alice looked angry. "What if Mr. Liam learns that Robin was once engaged to me?"

"Didn't you end that engagement yourself?" Vera replied, smirking.

"Alright, Alice, stop overthinking it. Besides, Robin may be more comp

Alice frowned. "Vera, it seems like you're always defending Robin.

"Have you fallen for him or something? It's dangerous for you to do this!"

Vera smiled bitterly, murmuring, "If Robin were truly what he seems, I'd be thrilled." She turned and added, "Anyway, let's go. The cocktail party's about to start."

The event focused on investment plans for the Eastvale Ecological Project. think."

The Dunn Group, Universal Group, Abyssal Dominion, and Violetcrest International were the main participants in the first round of negotiations, focused on project adjustments in the Eastvale Ecological. investment sector. The second part of the meeting centered on outsourced partnerships and additional investment opportunities among those four companies.

Consequently, the heads of the four companies were joined by other prominent investors from

Harmonfield, who hoped to secure a stake in the Eastvale territory established by those key players.

The banquet hall was breathtakingly opulent and glamorous

Violetcrest International Hotel went to great lengths to prepare for the event, bringing in globally renowned chefs to craft rare and exotic dishes.

A vast selection of wines was also available, featuring premium varieties from around the world, each bottle valued in the hundreds of thousands.

The waiters and greeters, all exceptionally attractive, added to the luxurious setting.

As Robin and Shirley entered the banquet, they immediately sensed the tension around them.

Many attendees, invited by Liam himself, had already taken issue with Robin's bold confrontation with Liam outside the hall, a move that irritated those eyeing partnerships with the Hamiltons,

During the private discussion among the business people, word spread that Robin, a man of seemingly modest background, had once been engaged to Alice but had faced rejection.

Most guests looked down on him. If not for Shirley, they would have quickly ousted him from the hall.

They'd better not be associated with such people.

With such attitudes, Robin was completely isolated.

It was already 3 PM, yet Daphne hadn't arrived.

The event organizers informed Liam, Shirley, and Rygar that Daplane would be delayed due to other commitments.

Additionally, everyone noted that Rygar, who seldom attended events, was surprisingly present today.

Oddly enough, he seemed nothing like his usual proud and forceful sel

Instead, he sat quietly in a corner, drinking alone, surrounded by body distance.

He declined any interaction with those who approached him.

a kept others at a

Due to Daphne's delay, the negotiation among the four main parties was postponed until the evening, allowing time for discussions on outsourcing partnerships among other investors Without waiting for guests to meet with the four companies individually, Liam took to the stage.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's great to see you all!"

The banquet hall erupted into enthusiastic applause, with all eyes on the charming Liam.

"Today, I want to share our joy and accomplishments with you all! Our Eastvale Ecological Project. developed in partnership with Universal Group and three other companies, is already taking shape. "This future venture will bring us all great rewards. Since you're all here as friends, it's only right that we share this opportunity with you."

At his words, guests and admirers quickly began showering him with praise.

"Mr. Liam, you're incredibly generous! Thinking of us in such a profitable venture-we're so grateful!"

Another added, "It's rare to see someone with such a big heart!"

Liam scanned the eager faces in the room, smiling warmly.

"Now, I'd like to ask-do you believe in Universal Group and me? Will you stand with the Hamiltons to achieve something great?"

The guests couldn't hold back their excitement and cheered, "Of course we believe in you, Mr. Liam! Tell us how we can join in!"

Liam's smile grew. "No rush. Since you're ready to partner with Universal Group, please review this. investment agreement. If it all looks good, you can sign now and be part of our Eastvale Ecological Project!"

At his signal, his assistants brought out thick stacks of agreements, causing excitement to sweep over the guests, thrilled to be part of their long-desired project.

Meanwhile, Zachary turned eagerly to Alice and Vera.

"Get your family's seal over here fast-we can't miss this chance! Do you realize if we get into the Eastvale project, we're looking at a return in the billions within two years?" Alice nodded eagerly.

Vera and Raymond, however, hesitated. "Alice, Zachary, maybe we should think this through a bit. Something doesn't feel quite right."

Alice waved this off, laughing, "What's there to worry about? Perhaps you're scared because you haven't done such big business before. Mr. Liam wouldn't deceive us!" Ignoring Vera's concern, Alice called her secretary and legal team from

Violetcrest for the contract.

After handling the details, she spotted Shirley and Robin nearby. With a sneer, she muttered, "Hmph! What's so proud about the Dunns?"

Without them, she could still secure her part in the Eastvale Ecological Project.
