The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

The Deadly Assassin Robin Chapter 1041 Her Scandal Spread Wildly Across the InteAfter dinner, it was already 11 p.m. when Robin and Joanna returned to the villa.

97% Finished Noticing the lingering sadness in Joanna's expression, Robin decided to delay his trip to Sakurania for a few more days. His instincts told him that whatever was troubling her hadn't been resolved yet.

His victory at the military martial tournament had unsettled many, and now that he had stepped away from his armor, it created the perfect opening for those eager to take him down.

Robin had no illusions about loyalty or honor. He knew that people didn't truly respect his achievements- they followed him only because he was useful to them.

Otherwise, the truth behind the Dragon Manor massacre wouldn't still be shrouded in mystery.

Originally, Robin had planned to wipe out those responsible for the tragedy before sending Joanna abroad for her Ph.D., ensuring she could leave this chaotic place behind and start fresh. But now, it was clear that this issue needed immediate attention.

His unexpected return had disrupted the balance of power. Those who had hidden their true, ruthless nature beneath a polished exterior were now being exposed.

Those who had been deceived, unwilling to face the harsh reality, wished for nothing more than Robin's permanent disappearance.

Without hesitation, he messaged Luella, asking her to arrange Joanna's studies overseas.

The next morning, Joanna woke up early.

After enjoying a simple breakfast prepared by Marge, she rushed to Brighton University. Since she had been absent the previous day, her experiments had been left incomplete.

As she stepped into the Software Department's teaching area, she immediately sensed something was off. Professors and students cast her strange glances, whispering among themselves.

Walking through the long corridor, she grew uneasy.

Could it be that word had spread about the Inspection Bureau summoning her yesterday? That shouldn't have been possible-the matter was classified.

She trusted Robin's ability, and there was no way the Inspection Bureau would dare provoke him again. "Hey, Joanna, what's on your mind? Still thinking about last night? Hahaha..." A mocking voice interrupted her thoughts. Turning, she saw Yvonne approaching with a few classmates trailing behind her.

"You must've made a fortune last night, huh? When are you treating us to a feast?" Yvonne sneered, exchanging knowing looks with her friends.

An ugly girl with tanned skin, eager to curry favor with Yvonne, shot her a knowing glance before sneering. "Joanna, making money must be a breeze for you. I heard online that you rake in tens of thousands in just one night!" 1/3 Chapter 1041 Her Scandal Spread Wildly Across the InteFinished Joanna immediately picked up on the mocking tone in their voices. Something felt off, but she couldn't quite figure out what they were hinting at.

Unlike regular students, those rich second generation never had to struggle through grueling entrance exams to get into Brighton University. Instead, they could simply charm a few professors in casual conversations and secure high retest scores.

A fabricated financial hardship report, a special recommendation from their previous school, minority status, foreign residency, or even so-called 'unique talents'-like long legs or an outgoing personality-was enough to guarantee admission.

Once enrolled, academics were never their priority. Instead, they filled their schedules with extracurricular organizations, mainly student unions, where their biggest concerns were social events and networking. When boredom struck, they entertained themselves by picking on classmates they didn't like.

Joanna had no interest in wasting her energy on them. Ignoring their taunts, she headed straight for the teaching and research office.

Behind her, Yvonne and her friends continued hurling insults, their laughter filled with malice. Joanna knew exactly why Yvonne had been so hostile toward her.

Yesterday, she learned that Eugene, the deputy director of the Inspection Bureau, was Yvonne's father. That explained everything.

Joanna hadn't mentioned that to Robin. If he found out, he might react aggressively, and she didn't want him to resort to violence for her sake again.

Yvonne's hostility toward Joanna stemmed from one person-Cadoc White, a prominent member of the student union in their department.

Cadoc cfrom a wealthy family that owned a coal mining business worth around 300 million. He had a knack for singing and enjoyed flaunting his talent.

From the moment Yvonne joined the student union, she was captivated by him. However, to her frustration, he showed little interest in her.

After paying close attention for stime, Yvonne realized that Cadoc had been pursuing Joanna instead. Even though Joanna had turned him down multiple times, Cadoc subtly hinted to his classmates that they had been secretly dating for a long time. He even went as far as claiming they lived together.

His fabrications were so detailed that he almost convinced himself they were true.

Those rumors filled Yvonne with jealousy and resentment.

She had wanted to confront Joanna a few days ago.

She had been eager to confront Joanna, but Melissa had warned her that Joanna had a formidable brother named Robin, whose background was still a mystery.

Because of that uncertainty, Yvonne held back.

However, just the day before, Melissa had assured her that Robin was no longer a threat.

With that in mind, the two of them began plotting ways to take down both Joanna and Robin, whom they 2/3 07:11 Wed, 19 Feb S.

Their initial plan was to use the scholarship as an excuse to get rid of Robin and Joanna.

Finished But to their surprise, Marissa stepped in, and even Brighton University's top officials defended Joanna, forcing them to drop the idea.

Despite Zev's warning to leave Robin alone, Melissa pointed out that both Zayn and Michelle harbored deep grudges against him.

That was when Melissa and Yvonne decided on a new approach-destroying Joanna's reputation with a scandal.

What Yvonne didn't know was that Joanna's identity was far from m ordinary. She had no clue about Robin's true influence or the powerful connections of the Dragon Palace.

Everyone in the department believed that Joanna was just a poor student, receiving support from the university due to her strong apdia company d academic record. Her mother, Marge, had worked in the university's cafeteria. Joanna didn't want to talk about her past. She simply hoped to finish her studies in peace and continue her education abroad.

Engaging in pointless arguments with shallow people like Yvonne and Cadoc didn't interest her. When she arrived at the office, it was empty.

She pulled out her phone and was shocked to see the group chat filled with discussions about her and Cadoc.

As she scrolled through slive streams and online posts, she saw that rumors were spreading, claiming she had sold herself and seduced Cadoc.

The gossip suggested that Joanna had manipulated Cadoc, the outstanding student union member, into a romantic relationship.

During their ttogether, it was said she had also been involved with several wealthy businessmen in exchange for favors.

The accusations went on to claim that she had used those interactions to secure a high ship, tricking everyone with her poor but sweet appearance. 1.6K
