“Robin. I’ll finish up my work at the company in the afternoon and come back early,” Shirley said, holding onto Robin’s arm earnestly.
“Tonight, I’ll cook a delicious dinner for you myself. How does that sound?”
Robin glanced at Shirley’s eager expression. “Maybe we should just order takeout.”
Shirley frowned slightly, understanding what he meant.
The last time she cooked at home, it turned into a complete disaster, with a pot of food that looked more like chicken poop than dinner.
“Don’t worry, it won’t be like last time. I’ve been practicing a lot lately.
“It was just because of that terrible app I used last time.
“But now, Amber helped me pick out some reliable cooking apps. I’ve tried a few recipes, and the results have been much better.
“I even set aside two evenings a week to practice cooking. I’m getting pretty good ti
Robin nodded. “Well, I know. Amber told me.”
Shirley looked over at Amber, who was driving, with a hint of exasperation. “Amber tells you everything?”
- Robin shook his head. “I still think we should forget about it. You’re already so busy; there’s no need for you to cook personally.”
“It’s no trouble; I’m not tired,” Shirley said, smiling softly.
“I’m actually really interested in cooking now. And I’ve been working hard at it.
“If you try my cooking again, you’ll definitely want to come back for more.”
Robin shook his head. “No, thanks. I’d rather not eat another pot of chicken poops.”
Amber couldn’t hold back her laughter, giggling from the driver’s seat.
“Amber, focus on driving and don’t make fun of me!” Shirley scolded, giving her a glare.
Then, turning back to Robin with a smile, she added, “Ive improved too, Robin. How will you know my cooking’s not good if you don’t give it a try?
“You absolutely have to come home for dinner tonight. And if you agree, I’ll… I’ll give you…
Robin instinctively glanced at Shirley with a suggestive smile. “Are you giving me something tonight?
Amber’s hands on the steering wheel jolted slightly.
Shirley understood what Robin meant and her cheeks dushed red in an instant-

It crept up to her translucent ears, then down her delicate, pale neck, painting her skin with a rosy hue.
“Get your mind out of the gutter! I meant I’d give you a little surprise.
“You have to come home tonight!”
Robin chuckled and nodded. “Alright, I can’t refuse such enthusiasm. Let’s just hope whatever you cook is edible!”
Shirley huffed playfully. “After you taste my cooking tonight, you’ll see that hard work really does pay off”
Robin pointed to the Eastvale Development Group building ahead. “Alright, you two get going. I need to use the car for a bit.”
After Shirley and Amber got out, he drove the car toward the southern coast of Harmonfield.
Just three minutes earlier, he’d received a message from the Dark Web.
Four Sakurania assassins were tailing Daphne’s car on the coastal road west of her seaside villa.
Daphne hadn’t headed to Violetcrest International. Instead, she’d turned west, toward ate farm near
the coast.
Seeing this message, Robin immediately understood Daphne’s plan.
She intended to lure the four assassins to a secluded area and deal with them there.
A few days earlier, Daphne had confided in him.
She still hadn’t figured out why the Rivers family wanted her to establish a foothold in Harmonfield.
As for their ultimate goal, the Rivers family hadn’t disclosed it to her.
They instructed her to build influence in Harmonfield and await further orders.
This mission was critical to the future of both the Rivers family and the Northern Star Sword School.
Daphne’s words had piqued Robin’s curiosity.
The Rivers family and Northern Star Sword School had maintained a low profile for years.
It was as if they were biding their time, waiting for the opportune moment to make a significant move.
What exactly was this major undertaking? No one knew
Old Fred had also sent him to Harmonfield to wait for someone.
Who this person was and what they wanted, he had no idea.
Could the Rivers family’s activities be connected to the person Old Fred mentioned would eventually seek him out?
It remained a mystery in Robin’s heart.

Inside Daphne’s car, Rita turned to her and spoke in a low voice, “Ms. West, we’ve confirmed that the four men following us are assassins sent by the Rivers family
Daphne’s eyes glinted with a cold fury.
“I thought they were my support!
“To think they’ve treated me like a tool since birth. Now that they know Mr. Ramsey has removed the Soul–Eating Charm from me, they’ve sent people to kill me again and again!
“I swear, I’ll never forgive the Rivers family!
“Rowan, lead them into the forest near the western farm. We’ll take them out there!”
“Alright, Ms. West!” Rowan immediately turned the car towards the western farm.
Rita’s face was tense as she spoke, “Ms. West, our intel says that these four assassins family and Northern Star Sword School are all high–ranking killers.

“They’re all extremely skilled fighters, some of the best among assassins. The three of us trying to take down all four may be quite challenging. There’s a real risk we might not make it out alive.
“And with your health only recently restored, I’m worried about you engaging in intense combat. Perhaps we should ask Mr. Ramsey for assistance?
Daphne frowned in thought.
After Robin’s treatments, her body had recovered almost completely, and her strength was back to about 80 percent.
She believed she might have a chance against the four assassins if she went all out.
However, with Rita and Rowan’s skill levels, she feared they might struggle to hold their own.
After a long moment of consideration, she finally shook her head. “No. We’ll fight with everything we’ve got. We still have a chance.”
