Chapter 695 Beneath the Dragon Dagger, All Are Ants

Vincent was taken aback when she heard Viola call Johannes, the Lynches‘ hidden ace, to deal with Robin.

This wasn’t just a casual move. Viola was determined to eliminate him.

Though Vincent was a prominent figure in the Lynches, often recognized as their second–in–command, he knew very little about Johannes, the family’s reclusive martial art expert.

Johannes had been introduced to the family by Viola nearly two decades ago and had since remained

ostly hidden from view.

Rumors swirled that his skills were unmatched, once securing him a high position on the world of darkness’s top–tier fighters.

However, his exact rank, true identity, and the full extent of his abilities were mysteries to everyone.

Even Viola kept silent about Johannes’s background.

Some compared him to Harold, the renowned master from the Westeria Residence.

Harold himself had once admitted, after a single encounter, “Whatever skill I have, Johannes’s is ten, no, perhaps a hundred times greater.

Fifteen years ago, a group of 13 elite assassins, hired by a family rival, launched an attack on the Lynches. However, by the time they spotted Johannes, they fled without a fight.

Word of this encounter spread quickly, and Johannes’s reputation became legendary across Brighton. Many martial art experts from all over Draconia sought to meet him, but Johannes turned them all away. Since that day, he had almost entirely withdrawn from the public eye.

The Lynches had enjoyed peace and security for more than ten years with such a powerful figure as Johannes standing guard.

If it weren’t for their internal conflicts, the Lynches would still reign supreme among Brighton’s five most powerful clans; a position no one could challenge.

Now, to bring down Robin, Viola was prepared to summon Johannes, the one person even legends feared. The guests were all stunned.

It was the first time the Lynches had ever so boldly called upon their hidden ace to handle a matter in public. Obviously, it was a signal that the Lynches were going to kill someone.

Given Viola’s role as the family’s backbone, her actions made sense.

Today was supposed to be about settling the engagement between the Lynches and Hendrix Chandler, the

second son of the Northlorn Residence.

Robin’s unexpected arrival had thrown everything into chaos.

If this matter wasn’t swiftly resolved, the Lynches would have no explanation for the Northlorn Residence. Offending the Chandlers was a risk they could not afford, no matter their strength.

No matter how strong the family is, no matter how powerful the martial art expert the family has, at most, they were just a folk clan.

They have no hope of standing against the Chandlers of the Northlorn Residence, whose has the backing of the national machinery.

Hearing the whispers around her, Vera tightened her grip on Robin’s arm.

“Robin, you… you should go. I… I could accept the Lynches’s arrangement,” she stammered, her voice wavering.

Bobin turned to her, his expression unreadable as he gazed into her eyes.

In those beautiful eyes, he saw both a fierce resolve and an unwillingness. After a pause, Vera’s face softened into a gentle, bittersweet smile.

“Robin, meeting you has been the greatest happiness of my life. Go. You’re meant for greater things. I don’t want to see you tangled up with these scheming cowards.”

She continued softly, “I’m just like a floating weed, rootless, drifting. Maybe I was never meant for this world

“Leave? Do you think you can make a mess of my family and walk away? Dream on!” A furious voice interrupted. Kenneth sneered at Robin and Vera, his face twisted in rage.

Thud! Robin slammed his foot on Kenneth’s neck with a muffled sound.

Kenneth’s face smashed against the marble floor, blood splattering in every direction.

Viola staggered violently at the sight, nearly choking on her own shock as the world seemed to spin around her.

“Johannes!” Viola’s voice trembled with restrained fury as she spoke coldly, “Twenty years ago, you made a promise. I saved your life, and you agreed to help the Lynches with three things. Today is the last one. Kill that boy, and you’ll walk away with a fortune from me.”

A man in his forties, bearing an unusually cruel face, stepped out from the crowd with an icy demeanor. The moment he appeared, a wave of fear swept through the guests, and they instinctively stepped back. The chill in the villa intensified.

This was Johannes, the Lynches’s secret weapon, a man of Thanagard descent whose reputation alone signaled certain death for Robin.

Meanwhile, Jamie, who had just stumbled back to his feet, staggered over to Robin, screaming, Johannes

tear this sem apart!

“It is impossible for you to see this day! Robin’s gaze turned to ice. He casually tossed aside the wet wipes in his hand and, with one quick step, gripped Jamie by the throat,

A sharp, chilling crack split the air.

Jamie had never imagined Robin would have the nerve to kill him right in front of Johannes.

“Ahh!” A scream ripped through the silence. Viola clutched her chest, swaying as if about to collapse; if not for two maids holding her up, she would have fallen.

The guests were stunned in disbelief.

Robin had just killed Jamie, Viola’s eldest grandson, right before their eyes.

When Viola finally managed to breathe again, she pointed at Robin, her voice choked with anguish and rage. Johannes! Kill him!”

Ask him whether he dares to do that. Robin glanced at her, his voice as cold as death itself. A shiver ran hrough the mansion.

Johannes squinted his eyes, staring in horror at Robin’s unmoving figure.

“Do it! Johannes, hurry up! Kill this b*stard!” Viola roared hoarsely.

Everyone held their breath, bracing for the clash that seemed inevitable.

All eyes were locked on Johannes, the legendary enforcer whose presence alone sent waves of terror through the crowd.

Yet, as he stared at Robin, his fierce gaze began to shift. First, there was surprise, then confusion, and finally utter shock.

Robin slowly turned, his eyes sharp and unwavering as they landed on Johannes. “Malcolm,” he said, his voice cold and unyielding.

Johannes’s powerful frame froze on the spot, his ruthless eyes widening in disbelief.

Robin continued, “Malcolm, the 30th–ranked martial art master on the Dark List. Twenty years ago, you entered Draconia to join the Battle of Dragon Ridge Valley, barely escaping with your life. Viola saved you. and you’ve hidden with the Lynches ever since. And just a month ago, you followed a group of martial art master from the World of Darkness back into Dragon Ridge Valley again.”

Johannes’s legs began to tremble. His voice cracked. “You… you killed Prometheus and the others?”

Robin scoffed, his voice steely. “Beneath the dragon dagger, all are ants.”

Then, before the astonished eyes of everyone present, Robin pointed at Johannes. “Come here. Kneel. I have questions for you.”

The onlookers stared in disbelief. They were certain that Robin must have lost his mind.

He’s spouting off strange things, and now is he ordering Johannes to kneel?

Viola let out an angry laugh. “Kid! Do you even know the danger you’re in? You’re not wrong about Johannes’s identity. He is one of the martial art masters from the World of Darkness! Your life will be over
