The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 269 Ms Harlow

Seven years ago, on a dusky evening.

The ancient Crescent Lane in Chinatown was awash in golden hues from the sunset.

Robin vividly recalled the warm, breathtaking beauty of that day's sunset.

It was his first day working at the Dreamscape Bar.

A girl, around 13 or 14, suddenly caught his attention.

She lingered at the entrance, hesitating to step inside.

Bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, she stood there like a delicate fairy who had just emerged from another realm.

She wore a long, floral dress, and her short hair was fresh and pure, framing a delicate, fair face.

Together with the gentle breeze, the sunset, and the charm of the old street, she created a stunningly beautiful scene.

Her aura was so pure and ethereal and untouched worldly concerns, too delicate to be disturbed.

However, this serene and striking image was soon disrupted by a group of unruly thugs.

The thugs shoved the girl, trying to drag her into a private room on the second floor of the bar.

Without a second thought, Robin rushed in.

Using the fighting techniques he had learned from Old Fred, he quickly drove off the thugs and rescued the girl.

She introduced herself as Anna but revealed nothing more.

From that day forward, she stayed at the Dreamscape Bar with Robin.

At the time, Darren was merely a junior manager at the bar, and he kindly assumed that Anna was either an orphan or a young lady suffering from amnesia, having run away from home and lost her way back. So, he asked the boss to prepare a guest room for Anna.

Anna stayed at the Dreamscape Bar for three months.

During that time, she was always by Robin's side, inseparable from him.

In the beginning, Anna silently followed Robin around, always close behind.

Whenever Robin was busy, she would lend a hand and help him with his work.

When Robin took a break, she would sit across from him, resting her chin on her hands and watching him quietly.

As time passed, Anna began to talk more and smile.

Later, Anna followed Robin, happily flitting around the Dreamscape Bar like a beautiful butterfly.

She became a stunning sight in the Dreamscape Bar.

Her presence added a touch of freshness and joy to the dull work atmosphere.

But good times are always too short.

Robin's adolescent heart, filled with the excitement of youth, was abruptly broken.

It was a rainy evening.

Robin was busy in the back of the bar when Darren told him that Anna was leaving.

Confused, Robin had no idea what was going on.

He assumed it was another encounter with those thugs bothering her.

Without saying a word, he grabbed a fruit knife and rushed outside.

Darren grabbed his arm, a look of reluctance on his face. "Maybe her family has come to take her home."

"Her family?" Robin was confused by Darren's words. "Isn't Anna an orphan?" Darren shook his head. "Robin, you and she may not be from the same world." Understanding Darren's implication, Robin followed him to the front of the bar.

At that moment, Anna had already left the bar and was getting into a Mercedes.

As Robin tried to rush over to speak with her, two men blocked his way.

On that drizzly evening, Anna said nothing.

She quietly left the Dreamscape Bar-and Robin-as if she had never been there at all, leaving without a trace.

And with that, seven years passed.

Robin accompanied Old Fred on a dangerous new path, leaving Terenova behind.

Since then, he had not seen Anna again.

Though he sometimes reme

about the fresh and ethereal girl from the Dreamscape Bar, those memories no longer stirred any emotions in him.

As time passed, some people and experiences inevitably drifted away.

No matter how wonderful those moments had been, they could only remain forever locked in the memories of that time and place. Robin had thought that once he set foot on this path, he would never see Anna again.

Little did he know, seven years later, he found himself face-to-face with her once again-under such an inappropriate circumstance. Everyone in the bar turned toward the entrance, captivated by the woman's enchanting voice.

A stunning sight greeted them.

Anna walked in surrounded by bodyguards, oblivious to everyone around her.

Sheriff Roland Corbyn, who had intended to reprimand her for disrupting his duties, found his words of anger stuck in his throat.

Roland shuddered, relieved that he didn't speak out of anger.

Angering someone like Ms. Harlows would not be a good idea.

"Hello, Ms. Harlow." He greeted her respectfully as he approached.

But Anna brushed past him, completely ignoring his presence, and continued into the bar.

Darren, recognizing her, was filled with surprise.

With Anna here, Robin could escape this situation.

After all, he had saved Anna years ago.

In those carefree years, both had developed a vague, innocent affection for each other.

Although they were unable to hold onto that blossoming romance, that bond was strong enough for Anna to help Robin get out of this conflict many years later.

Brenda stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, as she recognized the stunning woman who had just arrived.

The formidable presence of this woman could only be Anna, the bar girl Robin had frequently mentioned seven years ago!

Alison leaned in, whispering, "Who is she? She seems to have quite an impressive background."

Brenda quietly shared the story of Anna and Robin's youthful connection.

When Alison looked back at Anna and Robin, her eyes were filled with jealousy and disdain.

Brenda said, "It looks like both the sheriff and the Grimwolf Crew are wary of her. Robin should be okay now!"

Alison sneered. "Robin is truly pathetic, relying on a woman to act all high and mighty!"

At that moment, Roland noticed that Anna was ignoring him, so he quickened his pace to catch up to her.

"Ms. Harlow, what brings you here? This place is currently a crime scene and very dangerous."

As the sheriff of Chinatown in Terenova, Roland understood Anna's significance within the Harlows.

The Harlows were one of the few prominent families in Terenova.

Anna's father, Nathan Harlow, had special ties with the upper echelons of the Demberoa government.

He had three children, with two sons

holding prominent positions in Demberoa's military and political spheres, wielding considerable

influence.

While Anna was the future heir of the family.

The Harlows were ranked among the top five most powerful families in Demberoa.

Roland observed that Anna was heading directly toward Robin's direction.

He quickly warned, "Ms. Harlow, this man is dangerous! He's the one who shot Adrian!"

"Roland, shut your mouth!" Anna replied coldly.

Then she turned to Robin, extending her pale, slender hand with indifference.

"Robin, it's quite surprising to see you here.
