The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 256 Brenda, Let''s Get Out of Here!
Brenda anxiously gripped Robin''s hand. "Robin, please don''t ..."
Hugh snapped, "Brenda, what are you doing?"
Robin offered aforting pat on her back. "It''s alright. Just sit here and watch."
He then shifted his attention to Hugh. "This is my first time in a casino. If I win, can I really take all this money with me?"
Hugh exchanged amused nces with Nico, chuckling at Robin''s obvious inexperience.
"Robin, Croc''s casino runs on trust," Hugh said with a yful grin.
"If you win, that 300,000 right there is yours!"
Robin pointed his finger at Hugh. "You said that. Since you''re Brenda''s friend, I believe you."
Hugh pounded his chest dramatically. "Croc has been in this game for years and always ys straight.
"You can even ask around; we''ve never cheated our patrons."
Nico, wearing a serious expression, nodded in agreement. "I run the show here! Integrity is vital in a casino!
"Gambling is all about taking risks and epting the oues. Let''s kick this off already!
"Don''t worry; if you win, that money will be yours!
"However," he added, his tone turning grave, "if you lose and go back on your word, I''ll have to chop your hands off."
Robin chuckled at the ridiculousness of the threat.
"Okay! Hugh, Croc, since you both promise to y fair, I feel a bit more at ease.
"Just so you know, I''ve never set foot in a casino before.
"There are some things I need to rify from the start; if I win, what should I do next?
"Hugh, can you exin? So, whoever rolls the higher number wins, right?"
Hugh quickly recognized that Robin was genuinely a novice.
He exchanged another knowing look with Nico and responded with a smile, "That''s correct, Robin! Once you and Blondie roll the dice, whoever has the higher number takes home all 600,000." "Alright, I understand. Let''s get started," Robin said, waving his hand enthusiastically.
Brenda attempted to express her worries through her gaze.
How could she trust anything these people said?
They were nothing but swindlers.
Win or lose, there was no way they''d leave with a single penny today.
Hugh signaled for his men to bring over two cups and two dice.
He personally showcased the cups and dice in front of Robin and Blondie.
"Robin, Blondie, you can see there''s nothing wrong with these dice or cups. Pick your sets."
Robin gestured for Blondie to go first. "You go ahead; I''m fine with it. It''s just about rolling higher numbers, right?
"I''m lucky; whichever cup I choose will win."
Blondie carefully picked a cup.
Robin took the other one in his hand.
Blondie picked up his cup and shook it vigorously.
In the otherwise quiet casino, the only sound was the intense rattling of the dice inside the cup.
After an energetic shaking, Blondie mmed the cup onto the table.
Hugh nced at Robin, urging him, "Robin, it''s your turn."
"Oh, I forgot! I should shake mine too. Alright, let''s do this!" Robin chuckled, casually nudging the cup toward the center of the table. "Okay! Let''s see the results!" Brenda was left speechless as she watched Robin''s carefree attitude.
Is he really treating a 300,000-dor bet so lightly?
Is this some kind of joke to him?
Hugh, Nico, and the other casino employees were equally perplexed by Robin''s approach.
Could he genuinely not know how to roll dice?
Is this really how one gambles for 300,000?
What aplete fool!
Hugh watched Robin''s nonchnt demeanor andughed, "Is this really how you want to y, Robin?"
Robin nodded in agreement. "Alright, go ahead and show your dice. But don''t take too long; once this is done, I want to grab my cash and leave."
In that moment, Nico, who had been acting cold and distant, let out a couple of awkwardughs.
A group of low-ranking thugs in the gambling den erupted intoughter, their amusement echoing in the room.
Brenda shook her head in defeat, her heart heavy as she gazed at the colorful pile of 300,000 dors sitting temptingly in front of her.
"Now that we''re both done, can I show my dice?"
Hugh stepped forward, poised to lift the dice cup.
"Hold on!" Robin interrupted, raising his voice.
"What''s wrong?" Hugh shot him a frosty nce. "Robin, you can''t change your mind now."
With a yful glint in his eyes,

- glint in his eyes, Robin
"I''m just a little
you
t get cold feet. Conte
"You did say that if I win, I get the 600,000 dors on the table, right?"
Hugh chuckled. "Absolutely! But only if you win this round. Then that cash is all yours!
"The winner will be determined by whoever has the higher number on the dice after I lift the cup."
Hugh felt confident that the tricks
they had set up with the dice cup along
ath Blondie''s skills, would
guarantee Robin wouldn''t stand a chance of winning.
Unless, of course, Robin managed to roll the highest number too, resulting in a tie. ording to the game rules, they would continue rolling until a clear winner emerged.
In essence, Robin had no hope of rolling the highest number each time.
But Blondie could.
Hugh sneered. "If anyone goes back on their word, we''ll chop their limbs off."
Robin nodded, a grin on his face. "Great. With you saying that, I feel much more secure."
Hugh lifted the dice cups for both yers.
The sight before him made him gasp in disbelief.
Robin had rolled a six!
Blondie, on the other hand, had a pathetic one!
"W-what just happened?!"
Blondie leaped up in shock, staring. in disbelief at the dice,
at the dice, shouting,
"This can''t be real! It''s
impossible!"
Given his skills and the predetermined conditions of the dice cup, there was no way he should have rolled a one!
Theughter of everyone in the gambling den vanished in an instant.
Brenda''s jaw dropped in astonishment. "Robin won?"
Robin rose from his seat, beaming with joy. "Hugh, I told you my luck is unbelievable!
"It''s my first time ying a game like this, and I actually won. Sorry, but I''m taking this money!
"Brenda, grab this cash. I''m buying you a nice meal!"
Brenda remained frozen, fear evident in her eyes as she nced at Nico, Hugh, and the gang of thugs surrounding them.
Hugh''s voice turned icy. "Robin, you must be mistaken. There''s something wrong with that die."
"Something wrong?" Robin replied coolly, still smiling. "This is your domain; if there''s an issue, it''s on you.
"All I see is that my roll beats Blondie''s, and ording to the rules, that means I won.
"Hugh, you did say it-winners take everything."
At that moment, thugs surrounding the gambling den began to draw short knives, slowly closing in on Robin.
Hugh''s lips twitched. "In this ce, I don''t set the rules; Croc does.
"Why don''t you ask Croc if he''s okay with you taking that 600 grand?"
Robin pulled out a napkin to wipe his hands. "What''s this? Are you going back on your word?"
Nico sneered, "Put down your 300,000 dors and get out! Or else..."
"Or else what?" The smile on Robin''s face slowly faded.
Nico dropped his cigarette on the ground. "Or else you''ll be done for today!"
Brenda tugged on Robin''s hand. "Robin, let''s just forget the money and leave...
Robin pulled her closer, smiling. "I won this money fair and square; I''m definitely taking it."
Hugh burst intoughter. "Get him!"
But in the next instant, he felt a cold de pressed against his throat.
Robin sneered, "Hugh, you said it yourself-if anyone tries to go back on their word, you''ll chop their limbs off!"
Seeing this, Nico shouted, "Get him! Take that punk out!"
In an instant, chaos erupted.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
Within moments, every thug in the gambling deny sprawled on the ground, howling in pain.
The burly Nico also fell to his knees, clutching his bleeding stomach in terror as he looked up at Robin.
Robin kept another knife pressed against Hugh''s throat.
"Hugh, can I take this money now?"
Hugh felt a chill as the knife slowly pierced his skin.
If he didn''tply now, he was sure Robin would drive that de straight into his throat.
"Sure! Robin, the money is yours; you can definitely take it ...
"Brenda, grab the cash, and let''s get out of here!"
"
Brenda felt numb, mechanically lifting two briefcases as she followed Robin.
"Open the door!" Robin pointed at Hugh.
"Remember, this is where it ends!
"If there''s any more trouble, I won''t be so lenient next time!"
Just as Robin turned with Brenda toward the exit, Nico pulled out a gun and squeezed the trigger. Bang! Bang!
