The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 181 The One Behind the Car Accident

Franklin walked into the conference room, and Quincy excitedly approached him.

With the shares held by Franklin and the others, there was no way Vera could regain control of Silva Group! Quincy hurried over to Franklin and, taking his arm, led him toward the head seat in the conference room.

Franklin pulled away from Quincy, stopping in his tracks. "Mom, I'm not here for the meeting. I have an urgent matter that can't wait. How much money do you have on hand? I need it now!"

Only then did Quincy notice how exhausted Franklin looked. "We have more than enough money. As soon as the meeting ends, I'll give you whatever you need.

"Let's handle the meeting first. Did you bring your share certificate?"

"Mom, I need it right now," Franklin pressed, his voice strained. "I can't wait."

Quincy chuckled. "You're in such a rush, huh? How much do you need? Just tell me. But first, hand over the share certificate for me to use for a moment." Franklin hesitated. "Mom, the share certificate isn't with me."

Seeing his anxious expression, Quincy said reassuringly, "No problem. It's at home, right? I'll have Emily go pick it up."

Franklin shook his head. "The share certificate is gone."

"Gone?" Quincy was baffled. "What do you mean? Was it lost? If it's lost, that's fine. We can file for a new one."

"The share certificate is with me!" Shawn announced, striding into the Silva shareholders' meeting accompanied by a few Abyssal Dominion men. Everyone at the meeting was visibly shaken.

Any dealings with the Devil were sure to spell trouble.

Quincy, tense and anxious, asked, "Mr. Cooper, h-how did Franklin's share certificate end up in your hands?"

Shawn smirked darkly. "How? He used these shares as collateral for a loan from my bank. Now that he can't pay it back, these shares are mine."

"What?!" Quincy was in disbelief. Franklin borrowed from Shawn's underground loan business!

Even more shocking, he used 30 percent of Silva Group's shares as collateral to the Abyssal Dominion.

"Mr. Cooper," Quincy said, her voice trembling. "Why would Franklin borrow such a large sum from you? Return the share certificate to us, and I'll pay off his debt myself." "You're going to pay me? Ha! Easy for you to say!" Shawn sneered coldly.

"Given Silva Group's current market value, Franklin's 30 percent share is worth less than two billion! That's nowhere near enough to cover the gambling debts!

"Franklin mentioned that with the five percent shares you and Harvey each hold in Silva Group, it might barely cover what he owes me."

"What? What are you saying?" Quincy gasped, her eyes widening in fear as she took a step back from the devilish grin on Shawn's face.

"Mr. Cooper, the Abyssal Dominion has wealth and power in Harmonfield, surely you wouldn't resort to extorting the Silvas?

"No matter what, the Silvas are a prominent family in Harmonfield. If this gets out, aren't you worried about the damage it would do to the Abyssal Dominion's reputation?

"I know you operate in this line of work, but no matter which side you're on, there should be some rules."

Shawn's lips twitched with a mocking smile. "You're trying to lecture me about rules?

"Fine, here are my rules: Your son borrowed this much money from me, exceeding the value of the collateral. If he doesn't repay it on the spot, I'll start by cutting off a hand, then foot. If that doesn't get the money, he'll pay with his life!" As Shawn finished his sentence, an Abyssal Dominion man grabbed Franklin's hand and pressed it against the table, raising a knife to sever it.

"Wait!" Quincy gasped, nearly frozen in terror. "Mr. Cooper, I made a mistake! Please, let Franklin go, and I'll repay you!"

The Abyssal Dominion had long operated in Harmonfield by lending money, running casinos, and managing Illegal Fight Arena, always following the code of the underworld.

At the casino, every guest was required to sign an agreement before entry, which clearly outlined all the rules and regulations.

Now Quincy had the audacity to claim that Shawn wasn't playing by the rules!

Everyone in the conference room held their breath on her behalf.

"Let him go?" Shawn scoffed, yanking Franklin by the hair and forcing his head down onto the table.

"Tell them how much you owe at my Abyssal Dominion casino!

"I, Shawn, run my lending and gambling operations with complete transparency!

"I make dirty money, but I do it openly!

"If you can't afford to play, then don't come to gamble!

"Are you lecturing me about rules now? I can have you killed too!"

Quincy hesitated, her voice shaky. "Mr. Cooper, how could Franklin owe you so much? There must be a mistake!" "Chop it off!" Shawn ordered.

No sooner had he spoken than the Abyssal Dominion man holding Franklin down swung the knife downwards.

"Argh!" Franklin screamed as his hand was brutally severed.

The Abyssal Dominion disciple then grabbed Franklin's other hand, raising the short knife high.

Quincy quickly shouted, "Mr. Cooper! Mr. Cooper, it's all my fault! Just wait a moment. Whatever he owes you, we'll pay it back in full! Please, spare Franklin's life!" Shawn gestured for his man to pause.

He smacked Franklin's face lightly and coldly pointed at Quincy. "You're trying to lecture me about rules? Right now, I'm going to chop him up piece by piece!

"Pay up now! Your son owes the Abyssal Dominion a gambling debt of four billion! Here's the loan agreement!"

Quincy and Harvey were completely stunned by the unfolding events.

Harvey shook his head in disbelief. "After all my years of hard work, I've only managed to save this much. I can't-I can't cover his debts! That sc*undrel spends his days indulging in pleasure, drinking and gambling. How could he do something like this?!" With a thud, Quincy fell to the ground. "Mr. Cooper, please, I beg you. Leave us some money for our retirement."

Shawn snorted. "Fine, keep your retirement funds. The Silvas can't come up with enough money to repay his debt, so we'll take this sc*undrel's life instead! Drag him out and have him executed!" Two Abyssal Dominion men began to haul Franklin away.

Quincy rushed to block their path. "Mr. Cooper! Mr. Cooper, I beg you. If we give you all our shares, we'll have nothing left."

"I don't care if you have any. Get out of the way!" Shawn kicked Quincy aside and dragged Franklin toward the exit.

Quincy rushed in front of Harvey. "Harvey, are you really going to stand by and watch your son get killed by the Abyssal Dominion? You need to hand over your shares right now!"

Harvey slapped Quincy in the face. "D*mn it! Your son has been spoiled rotten and has squandered everything the Silvas had! He brought this debt on himself, and if he has to die, then so be it!" Quincy pointed at Harvey and said, "Harvey, if you don't give your shares to pay off Franklin's debt, I'll expose everything you've done to Sharon!"

Harvey's face turned pale with fear. He glanced nervously at Vera and Robin before slapping Quincy hard in the face. "You b*tch! I won't give him a single share."

Quincy gritted her teeth. "Fine, then we'll see how this plays out!"

Harvey shook his head in despair. "Quincy, this is a stock certificate! Just remember, if you speak recklessly and spread lies, I will make sure to kill you! The Lynches won't spare you either!" Quincy seized the stock certificate from Harvey and rushed to the door. "Mr. Cooper, I'm transferring all these shares to you. Let's sign the transfer right now!"

Shawn, holding three stock certificates, shook his head. "What doesn't belong to you will eventually come to light! Quincy, we'll discuss what you've done later."

He then placed the three stock certificates in front of Robin. "Mr. Ramsey, the transfer agreements are all set."

Harvey and Quincy were instantly taken aback.

They didn't anticipate that Shawn would hand the transfer agreements to Robin.

Quincy shrieked in outrage and rushed at him. "Robin, you b*stard! You've set us up! I'll fight you for this!"

Shawn swiftly slapped her to the ground. "Do you want to die?"

Robin shook the three stock certificates and handed them to Vera. "Sign here. These were always meant to be yours."

As Vera clutched the certificates, tears streamed down her face.

She never expected that after Quincy and Harvey had stolen everything her mother had worked so hard for, it could be reclaimed.

"Robin, I don't want these shares. You can keep them. The reason I wanted to get them back was that I couldn't bear to see my mother's belongings taken by that b*stard!

"If my mother were deceived and had to hand over her hard-earned money to those two sc*undrels, she would be aggrieved!

"Now, I can finally bring comfort to my mother's spirit. Robin, thank you! Truly, thank you!"

Robin shrugged. "I'm not interested in the money. You should keep it.

"Take care of it. This is a legacy from your mother.

"Don't let it be wasted in your hands. It may have a greater purpose in the future."

At his words, Vera lifted her chin, a spark of determination in her eyes.

Years ago, her mother escaped from the Lynches, feeling wronged. She had long severed ties with the Lynches.

Yet, even after all these years, they continued to tarnish her reputation.

There were even rumors that they were responsible for her death!

If the rumors are true, I will make sure to seek justice for my mom!

Shawn glanced at Quincy, who was slumped on the ground. "Aren't you interested in sharing the truth about how Nolan and his wife died with everyone here?"

"I-I don't know the truth!" Quincy stammered, avoiding Shawn's gaze. "H-he and his wife died in a car accident. Everyone knows that!"

Shawn handed a USB drive to Robin, who immediately plugged it into the computer.

A video conversation began to play, revealing none other than Harris and Quincy!

Vera stared in shock at the video's contents.

She couldn't believe that Quincy was behind the deaths of her brother and sister-in-law all those years ago!

Fueled by rage, she snatched a short knife from one of the Abyssal Dominion men and charged toward Quincy, raising it to strike.
