The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 249 Borrowing the Villa on Dawnspire Heights

Vera grew more suspicious the longer she thought about it.

She quickly rushed to the recording equipment, pushing Robin aside and carefully inspecting the system.

However, she did not see anything out of the ordinary.

"Robin, tell me honestly, what have you been up to for so long?"

Robin looked at her with a grin, glancing at her curvaceous figure and slightly confused expression, barely holding back a laugh. "Why so suspicious?

"I said there's nothing here, just recording your information-what else could I be doing?"

He muttered, "Not like I can see you wearing black under ... " then picked up a glass of water and casually stepped in front of the camera. Hearing that, Vera's face flushed.

How did he know she was wearing black?

Could the camera actually pick that up?

Leaning closer to the lens, she inspected it, seeing only a regular camera.

Then, as Robin moved in front of the camera, an unexpected scene appeared!

On the monitor, Robin's full physique was on display-fit and lean, every detail crystal clear.

This guy's physique is amazing! He's a dream guy, no doubt! Vera's heart was practically swooning as she watched.

However, in an instant, she let out a scream.

Hadn't she just been in front of the camera the same way?

So Robin had been watching her this whole time!

Realizing what was going on, Vera's heart started racing, her face flushing red.

Like a cat with its tail stepped on, she darted over in a few steps and gave Robin a hard kick.

"Robin, you jerk! Ah! You actually spied on me!"

Just then, Robin casually enjoyed the scene with a cup of water in hand.

Before he could take a sip, Vera kicked him, causing him to stumble and spill the water all over the floor.

"What the hell! Are you nuts? Why'd you kick me out of nowhere?"

"Kick you? Hmph, I'll bite you too!" Vera was like a little cub, sinking her teeth into his wrist.

"You creep, what were you doing just now?" she demanded.

Robin looked at her innocently. "I was recording your info, remember?"

"Why are you biting and kicking me like that? Are you a puppy or something?"

Vera shot Robin an irritated glare.

Vera glared. "You liar! You were using that as an excuse to spy on me!

"This device can see through clothes, and you used it to look at everything!" she accused, scratching at him while he tried to grab her hands. "Wait, are you saying you saw me naked? How would you know?"

"I just watched you stroll right past the camera, completely exposed!"

Robin sighed, "So we're even now, aren't we? You got a full view of me too, so technically, I'm the one losing out here!"

"You're impossible!" Vera chased him up and down the villa in exasperation.

Just then, Robin's satellite phone buzzed with a message from the Dark Web: the plane ticket was confirmed, and he could board in an hour.

He took her hand with a grin. "All right, all right, I won't mess with you anymore.

"Your body info's all set in the villa's system, so you're free to come and go.

"I'm heading out of Harmonfield for a couple of days to take care of some things."

"Where are you going?" Vera asked, a bit anxious. "Can I come with you?"

"Nope, I'm off on a date with a beautiful woman." Robin quickly left the villa and drove away, leaving Vera stomping her foot in frustration. "Ugh, Robin, you jerk!"

Just then, the phone on the coffee table started ringing.

Vera glanced over, smiling, "Must be that troublemaker calling."

However, when she picked up, the face on the screen was Alice's, not Robin's.

A bit disappointed, Vera answered, "Alice, what's up?"

Alice sounded mildly annoyed. "Vera, did you forget what you promised me yesterday?"

"Promise?" Vera drew a blank.

"You said you'd help me borrow Villa One of Dawnspire Heights Estates. Vera, don't tell me you forgot!"

Vera suddenly remembered.

"Oh, Alice, of course not!

"Right now, I'm here recording the security setup for the villa. I'll send you a pic so you can see."

She took a quick photo of herself and the surrounding villa, then sent it over.

Alice's eyes widened at the luxurious setting, and she exclaimed, "Vera, you're amazing! I can't believe you actually got it!

"Could I maybe keep it for a while longer?"

Hearing Alice's excitement, Vera chuckled, "Of course.

"Actually, this villa belongs to Robin. Take your time I'll let him know, and it should be all good."

Alice's initial excitement turned icy.

"Vera, could you please not mention that insufferable guy to me?"

"The owner of a mountaintop villa in Dawnspire Heights Estates-who wouldn't know the kind of status that requires?" She continued sharply. "Everyone in Harmonfield is aware of that.

"Living there isn't just about money; it takes real standing to qualify.

"Robin is just piggybacking on Shirley's family connections here, showing off like he has any influence."

"A guy like him wouldn't stand a

chance of getting near a villa in Area

One, or even the villas in Area Three of Dawnspire Heights Estates."

Vera chuckled, trying to calm her friend.

"Fine, fine, I'll drop it.

"Just know you can use the villa; just make sure nothing gets damaged."

She added, "The place can accommodate a couple of hundred people, so just tally up your guest list.

"Let me know beforehand, and I'll bring you over to set up."

Alice sounded a bit impatient. "Can't you just hand me the keys?"

Vera laughed, "Alice, this villa isn't your average place.

"Getting in is not just a couple of passwords and a fingerprint.

"This one needs an actual body scan to access," she explained.

"Without the recorded data, no one's getting in, and trying to force it would alert security."

"I just finished recording the body info here ... "

Recalling the registration earlier with Robin, Vera's cheeks flushed slightly at the memory.

Without even realizing it, she had followed Robin's instructions and gone through all sorts of poses!

Robin, you jerk! I'll settle this with you when you get back.

Meanwhile, Alice, still on the line, was stunned.

What exactly was Vera's relationship with the owner of this place?

He actually let her use the villa and even helped input her data.

That meant Vera could come and go as she pleased-almost like she was the villa's owner.

Jealousy flared in Alice's heart.

Vera must have used some secret methods to connect with such a big shot!

If only she'd known...

If she could meet the villa's owner before the engagement party, with her charm, she would easily outshine Vera. Maybe he would choose her instead.

She would then leave Zachary behind in a heartbeat and follow this powerful figure, becoming the envy of all Harmonfield!

With this in mind, Alice said, "Vera,

before the engagement party, I'd like

to invite

the owner of the villa to

dinner as a thank-you. Can you help

2nge it?"

Vera looked surprised. "He probably wouldn't accept an invitation."

Alice, sounding annoyed, replied, "Vera, are you afraid I'll steal him from you?"

Hearing this, Vera burst into laughter.

"Alice, this villa owner was originally yours to know-it's you and the Millers who wanted to cut ties," Vera replied.

"I'm not worried at all about you meeting him.

"I'm sure that even if you met him, you'd still dismiss him.

"Remember, you've always said your dream is to become a queenly figure, just like Daphne West."

"And besides, aren't you getting engaged soon? Are you really thinking of competing with me over men?"

Alice gave a scoff. "Until that certificate's signed, I still have options, Vera.

"Sounds like you're getting defensive."

Vera chuckled.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Alice, if you're that interested, you could just call Robin yourself. He's the villa's actual owner, no question."

"Fine, fine," Alice replied, sounding exasperated.

"Last question-will he show up on my engagement day?"

Vera smiled. "Honestly, I'd like him to come, so you'll see that there are people and things that might surprise you in this world."

Alice snorted. "Vera, it's just

borrowing a villa. Now you're making

it sound all mysterious.

Whatever-when are you taking me to see it? I need to arrange for the decoration crew."

Lowering her voice, Alice added, "One more favor.

"At the engagement party, I want everyone to think the villa owner's my close friend.

"If I said I wanted to live here permanently, he'd totally agree."

Vera laughed.

"Alice, that's a tall order. I can't back you up on that one-he'd never go along with it."

Alice frowned. "Vera, you're being so stingy!

"I just asked for a little help to impress my family and friends-why are you making such a big deal of it?"

"Alice, I can't say those things without Robin's consent," Vera replied.

"That villa isn't just any place; it's the most talked-about, mysterious property in all of Harmonfield.

"If word got out, the entire city would be buzzing, and I can't handle that kind of attention.

"Besides, it would definitely make Robin uncomfortable.

"I absolutely can't agree."

"What does any of this have to do with Robin?" Alice retorted, clearly frustrated.

"Fine, let's just drop it. It's a small thing; no need to overreact."

...

An hour later, Robin boarded an international flight from Harmonfield to Terenova.

Once he arrived at Terenova's airport, he would be able to take the private plane prepared by the Nevilles to Hydra Island.

Meanwhile, Drogo, head of Phoenix Vanguard headquarters, had no idea what was coming.

In seven hours, they would be facing a disaster of historic proportions.
