Chapter 242 Claim Me Tonight
Talia handed over the incident at Hot Pot Haven to the local police.
Shortly after, she received classified intelligence from her division.
The shocking news hit her hard, where the target of an international assassin was none other than Robin!
Talia was stunned.
Thirteen top-tier international assassins had been sent to eliminate Robin.
But why would these elite killers set their sights on him? Robin served as a project president under the Dunn Group.
What could he possibly have done to deserve such attention?
Darkwolf and the Surgeon were among those present.
Their initial hiring fee was a staggering five hundred million dollars, and the bounty for completing the mission could exceed a billion! Not only that, but there were 13 of them.
It begged the question: what kind of person could command such an extravagant array of talent?
Talia was confident in her own abilities, but she understood all too well that she was no match for any of these 13 renowned killers.
They moved like shadows, striking without warning.
For years, Interpol had been searching for them, expending countless elite resources, yet had come up empty-handed.
Many agents had mysteriously disappeared in the process.
Now, with the 13 assassins entering the country to hunt Robin, the national security department of Draconia and the global law enforcement community were on high alert. Her division had dispatched twenty special agents to Harmonfield to assist Talia in dealing with this urgent situation.
...
After dealing with the assassin from the Dark Night Alliance, Robin returned to his car. After that, he quickly released Vera's acupoints.
"Where ... where am I?" Vera rubbed her sleepy eyes, still dazed.
"You fell asleep," Robin said, starting the car and handing her a bottle of water.
As she sipped, Vera became more alert.
She glanced at her disheveled attire and asked, "Robin, you naughty guy ... you didn't do anything to me, did you?
"How did I fall asleep?" She pondered, still confused.
Robin cast a quick glance at Vera's long, fair legs.
He said, "It's getting late; I'll take you home.
"Your office is just up ahead. I'll drop you off to get some rest at the company's guest room," he suggested.
"Alright," Vera sighed, stretching her back and massaging her neck.
"Robin, why do I feel exhausted today? My back and legs are aching.
"Sigh! Maybe you should come back with me tonight. I can give you a little reward," Vera said casually.
"A reward? What kind of reward?" Robin warily looked at the girl, who leaned closer to his face.
Robin sensed she was up to something.
He was tense, and Vera couldn't help but laugh.
She then propped her long legs up on the dashboard, wiggling her soft, delicate feet.
"So, what do you think? Are my legs and feet pretty?" She teased.
"And look at my nail polish. Isn't it pretty?"
Robin found his throat tightening as he stared at those beautiful legs.
Vera's legs were, without doubt, exquisite.
Seeing Robin's awkward expression, she giggled.
"The reward I'm talking about is a massage, silly! You'll massage for me! Hahaha!"
Robin's grip on the steering wheel trembled slightly.
Vera beamed at him, amused.
Geez, look at you! I thought you didn't have any feelings for me.
Just a glimpse of my beautiful legs, and your hands are shaking.
Let's see if you end up with a nosebleed when you're giving me that massage later!
Ten minutes later, they arrived at Silva Tower.
"I twisted my ankle; you have to carry me up," Vera said, extending her arms.
Robin hesitated for a moment but ultimately scooped her up.
Vera wrapped her arms around his neck, her enchanting eyes locked on his. With a playful grin, she whispered, "Tonight, you should claim me."
Ignoring her, Robin stepped into the elevator.
The close proximity felt different, igniting a flurry of emotions within him.
The softness of her body was both thrilling and distracting.
"Why won't you look at me? Hehehe!" Vera teasingly observed Robin's feigned indifference with a playful grin.
As they exited the elevator, they ran into Sarah, who lived in the building's guest rooms.
"Robin and Vera? What are you two doing here?" Sarah started, her eyes widening.
Vera immediately closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
"Oh! She twisted her ankle, and I'm just bringing her back," Robin explained awkwardly, not stopping as he entered Vera's executive suite.
He shut the door and gently tossed Vera onto the spacious sofa.
"Come on, that's just lame. Just admit you're not really asleep," he said.
Vera lay on the sofa, kicking off her shoes to reveal her smooth legs and back.
She pointed to the massaging oil beneath the coffee table.
"I'm sore all over. Please help me with a massage."
Robin hesitated but finally sat beside her.
Vera thought he wouldn't agree; she was just teasing him.
Surprisingly, he actually agreed to her request.
Vera closed her eyes and couldn't care less about what happened next.
If he really went for it, she would be okay with that!
She instinctively started unbuttoning the back of her top.
Just as Robin poured oil onto her back and massaged for him, Sarah burst through the door, followed by Talia and four agents from Investigation Division Seveno
Vera quickly pulled her skirt down to cover her legs, clutching Robin tightly.
He draped his jacket over her shoulders and asked irritably, "What are you all doing barging in at this hour?"
The agents froze at the sight before them, momentarily stunned.
After a brief pause, they hurriedly stepped back outside.
"Robin, you two better get dressed!" Talia shouted from the hallway.
Robin glanced at the disheveled Vera, shrugging. "Well, they've seen everything now."
Vera laughed. "So what if they did? It's not a big deal; we didn't do anything."
"The problem is my reputation," Robin sighed, shaking his head sadly.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Robin, you j*rk!" Vera jumped up from the sofa, grabbing a throw pillow and whacking him with it.
"I wasn't worrying about my reputation, but you actually started that. You exploited me and pretended to be innocent.
"Can you two stop your banter?" Talia reentered the room.
It was then that Vera noticed Talia had changed into military attire.
She bore the insignia of two stripes and one star on her shoulder, indicating her rank as a major.
With her already stunning looks and curves, the uniform made her appear even more commanding and striking.
Vera glanced at Talia's serious expression, stuck out her tongue playfully, and sat down beside Robin.
Robin leaned back on the sofa and said helplessly, "Major Cross, you really are relentless. It's already late,
and you've followed me all the way here. Will this ever come to an end?
"Maybe you have a thing for me?" He quipped.
BUMS
"I'll be blunt: you can leave. I'm not interested," he replied without hesitation.
"Outrageous!" yelled one of Talia's colleagues, clearly offended.
Robin lazily raised an eyebrow, looking at the man.
"You're free to go; you're not welcome here.
"Sarah, escort them out, please!"
Furious, the man lunged at Robin.
However, a loud thud echoed in the next moment as he fell back, crashing into the hallway's corner.
The other three agents immediately prepared to intervene.
"Think carefully before you make a move in front of me," Robin said, a smirk on his face.
