The Deadly Assassin Robin -
Chapter 62
Chapter 62 Power and Ambition
Four Seas Entertainment World is the headquarters of the Davidsons in Harmonfield.
Ten years ago, Knox and his brother Harris's father, Charles, established Four Seas Bar here.
Later, Charles met Shawn from the Abyssal Dominion.
Four Seas Bar flourished with the help of the Abyssal Dominion's second-in-command.
Four Seas Bar quickly expanded into Four Seas Entertainment in just three years.
After several renovations, Four Seas Entertainment grew year after year, evolving into what is now Four Seas Entertainment World.
The main attractions now include bars, dance halls, and small movie screening rooms.
Since Four Seas Entertainment primarily caters to mid to low-end consumers, it always draws a lively crowd.
In Harmonfield, no other entertainment venue can compete with Four Seas's status.
On this weekend, despite being daytime, Four Seas Entertainment was still buzzing with energy, packed with people as if it were midnight. Connor led Piper into Four Seas Entertainment World.
The bustling and chaotic atmosphere immediately enveloped them.
Seeing the crowd of men and women already in party mode, Connor felt unusually excited.
Walking beside his crush, Piper, the urge he had been suppressing for years was about to explode.
"Piper, don't worry about your job at the Dunns' Eastvale Development Company. With me around, I guarantee you'll get in smoothly.
"Once you're in, I'll introduce you to some supervisors. It'll be great for you to network.
"After a year or two of work, becoming a team leader should be a piece of cake."
Piper smiled but didn't respond.
Her ambition wasn't just to land a simple job and settle for a team leader position.
Her goal was to penetrate the core leadership of the Dunns to become Shirley's right-hand.
Ultimately, she aimed to become someone like Shirley.
Once the conditions were right, she'd seek out a president-level husband for herself.
She had set a three-year deadline for this process!
She had crafted this plan a year ago.
Moreover, she had already pinpointed her ideal partner.
He was the president of Universal Group, Hamiltons' eldest son, Liam.
With such a clear and determined target in her heart,
Piper wasn't like Connor, who was shortsighted and easily lost in the nightlife.
Regardless of the occasion, she kept a clear mind, fiercely protecting her image.
She would never sabotage her own reputation, and she wouldn't allow a moment of carelessness to derail her grand plan.
She followed Connor to Four Seas Entertainment World just to familiarize herself with some useful connections in this circle.
She wouldn't waste time associating with people she deemed unworthy.
To her, that was simply a waste of time.
She had never stepped into a place like this before.
"Mr. Whitman, over here!"
A group of men, roughly the same age as Connor, spotted them entering Four Seas Entertainment World from afar and called out loudly. Of course, they noticed Piper beside Connor.
Most of them were low-level supervisors from various companies involved in the Eastvale Ecological Investment Project.
Piper wasn't particularly interested in these people.
However, it wouldn't hurt to know some people at this level to establish herself in this circle for now.
Perhaps one day she could use these connections.
Once she truly soared to great heights, she could discard them all.
One must always climb the ideal ladder step by step.
Piper was a girl with a clear direction for her goals.
Every step in her life was carefully planned and set, and she would achieve them individually.
She was ready to gradually ascend from the lower class to the upper echelons of society with rigorous thinking and actions.
Of course, accepting Connor's invitation before her job was also part of her plan.
Connor was especially excited to bring Piper to meet this group of friends.
Before he could even introduce them, the group started teasing.
"Mr. Whitman, is this your girlfriend?"
"She's really beautiful!"
"Wow, Mr. Whitman's girlfriend could rival Harmonfield's first beauty, Ms. Dunn."
Connor certainly enjoyed this praise and didn't refute it.
He intended to use their words to express his feelings for Piper.
While pleased to be compared to Shirley, Piper wasn't willing to let people misunderstand that she was Connor's girlfriend.
That would lower her status.
All along, she knew Connor had feelings for her.
But how could someone like him, who was from a lower tier, ever catch her eye?
She simply didn't want to crush his pride too sharply.
So she quickly explained, "Everyone has misunderstood; we aren't in that kind of relationship.
"Connor is always my most respected senior. I'll always treat him like an older brother.
"With his talents and abilities, he'll definitely replace someone better than me.
"As for replaceing a boyfriend, that's not something I'm considering right now."
Hearing this, Connor could only awkwardly smile.
At the same time, Robin and Vera walked into Four Seas Entertainment World.
They were quite surprised by how crowded it was at this time of day.
"Is the Davidsons's business really booming? I was worried they wouldn't make ends meet."
As she talked about this topic, Vera's expression grew serious.
"Robin, the Davidsons's connections are deep; they have backing from the Brookhaven Martial Alliance and the Abyssal Dominion's infamous Shawn. "Shawn wouldn't dare to interfere in this matter, but the Brookhaven Martial Alliance won't stand by and do nothing. Knox is one of their own."
Robin chuckled lightly. "I've been in a feud with the Brookhaven Martial Alliance since the moment I took out the butcher."
He glanced around the noisy Four Seas Entertainment World..
His gaze finally fixed on Piper. "Looks like someone is about to be in trouble."
Vera noticed Robin didn't answer her question but instead looked at Piper, who was surrounded by a group of loud men.
"Robin, you're not actually interested in Piper, are you? I didn't expect your tastes to be so unique."
Robin chuckled, "To her, I'm just a lowly, no-name man. Even if I liked her, it wouldn't matter!"
"Haha, you could tell her you're the president of Eastvale Development Company and live in the Dawnspire Peak Estates. I guarantee she'll throw herself into your arms immediately." "Do I look that bored?" Robin retorted, curling his lips.
"Then why are you staring at her as soon as you enter Four Seas Entertainment?" Vera asked, annoyed.
Robin glanced at Vera. "I'm just curious; what's wrong with that?"
Vera was about to snap back at Robin when she suddenly noticed two men approaching Piper.
Their expressions clearly indicated they had set their sights on a target.
Under the flickering lights, Vera recognized the faces of the two men.
"Are you watching those two men?"
Robin didn't respond to Vera's question and continued walking forward.
At that moment, two Sakurania men moved close to Piper, forcing their way through the crowd, directly draping their arms over her shoulders.
Connor and the others fell silent.
They had no idea what relationship these two men had with Piper.
After a brief moment of surprise, Piper struggled to shake off their arms, angrily shouting, "Get off!"
"Beautiful lady, why pretend to be so pure and innocent here? Haha, let us take you to the second floor; the VIP rooms there are much more exciting. We promise you'll be on cloud nine!"
The two Sakurania men forcefully pulled Piper into their embrace, laughing uproariously.
The group surrounding Piper instantly stood frozen in shock.
Uncertain how to handle these thugs, Connor couldn't sit idly by any longer.
After all, Piper had come here with him.
Moreover, he held deeper feelings for Piper.
This was the perfect chance to be a hero and save the beauty!
"You guys, who are you? Let her go! Apologize to Piper immediately!"
The two Sakurania men glanced at Connor and sneered, "Kid, you'd better roll out of here!"
Connor's heart sank as he noticed the murderous intent in the men's eyes.
However, he had already stepped up and could not retreat.
"You need to let her go."
Bang! Connor hadn't finished speaking when one of the Sakurania men kicked him away.
