“He’s really here?” Nina was taken aback, tears streaming down her face. Even in the crisis, she had called out, but she didn’t expect he would actually come. She immediately looked in his direction, her tears turning into a joyous surprise. Because he was really here.
“He’s really here?” The crowd also turned to look.
From that direction, a man stepped out. He was dressed modestly, but his features were sharp and defined as if carved by a knife. His eyebrows resembled the edge of a sword, and his outstanding charisma made everyone take a second glance.
“Who is this?” Mr. Willis was stunned. Some young upstart. He immediately shouted, “Young man, leave quickly and fetch help. You can’t handle all these people.”
He thought the earlier strike was just a coincidence. How naïve. This young upstart couldn’t handle all these people. But as soon as he finished speaking, the men who had previously been facing off against him turned tail and ran, their faces pale with terror. Could they not run? Alastair Angelo might not know who this newcomer was, but they certainly did.
Kisia, the god of war.
How had he arrived so quickly?
What they didn’t know was that Cain Johnson’s mission had failed. Not only had it failed, but Cain Johnson had defected and informed Robin, which was why Robin had arrived so quickly.
“Trying to leave? Did I say you could go?” Robin’s gaze swept over them.
Suddenly, the assassins, who had been preparing to move, froze in terror. They felt that if they took another step, they would die. This was killing intent. The killing intent that Robin radiated, having come from a battlefield littered with corpses, was more intense than anyone else’s. They couldn’t resist it. They all collapsed to the ground, faces pale with fear, unable to move.
Mr. Willis, although he hadn’t felt this killing intent, knew from his years of martial arts training that they had been overwhelmed by it, and his face lost all color. Who was this young man? He was incredibly powerful. He had intimidated them all just with his aura.
“Brother-in-law,” Nina threw herself into Robin’s arms, crying.
That earlier moment had truly terrified her. No matter how tough she acted, she was still a young girl in her teens.
“Ah,” he had wanted to yell at her, but seeing Nina cry so hard, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Such a troublesome girl.
“Why did you come to St. Sunday? This is a war front, not a game,” Robin said. After Nina stopped crying, he tapped her forehead with a finger, leaving a red mark as punishment.
“Ouch, jerk, be gentle! I’ll tell my sister,” Nina said, covering her head and pouting in displeasure.
Great. Now that she was done crying, she didn’t need him anymore. She was back to calling him a jerk. But Robin knew this was just her personality and he couldn’t do much about it. Still, he said, “No matter why you came, I’m buying you a ticket to go home.”
His stern face almost scared Nina. But could Nina be easily scared? She immediately shook her head. “No way, I came here to film. I can’t just leave. I’ve been in the car for so long, my legs are sore. You should take me to rest.”
She was half whining, half pouting. She was fierce and cute at the same time. But Robin kept shaking his head. “Go back, go back to Stillwater.”
“What do you mean, jerk? Are you not letting me stay in St. Sunday because you have a new home here? You don’t want me and my sister, and Leslie anymore. It must be. Last time you left and said you’d come back, but you didn’t. You must have someone new, you big liar, big jerk, deceiving our feelings again.”
With a thud, Nina sat on the ground, hugging Robin and crying. Her face was covered in tears, just like a little child.
Robin: “…”
“Ah, you’re a grown-up, get up. Crying like this here, what does it look like?” Robin said, somewhat exasperated. Thankfully, the train station was not crowded. If there were many people, they might misunderstand him as a scoundrel, and he might have been accused by a few hot-blooded women.
“No, promise me you’ll let me stay here, then I’ll get up.” Nina continued to act spoiled. She clung to Robin’s leg, refusing to let go. Unless he agreed, she would not let go.
Robin: “…”
In the end, Robin couldn’t be bothered to argue with her anymore. Instead, he turned his gaze to Alastair Angelo and said, “Thank you for saving us this time. Without your help, this girl might not have survived.”
Nina was still clinging to Robin’s leg, and Robin reached out to pat Nina’s head. But Nina shook her head, breaking free from Robin’s hand, and said fiercely, “I’m not a three-year-old child, don’t touch my head.” Robin ignored her and continued to pat her head.
“I’ll bite you, believe it or not.” Nina threatened.
But Robin responded, “If you bite me, no matter what, you’ll have to go back with me today.”
“Woo woo woo, you’re bullying me.” In the end, Nina cried a little more. She was pitiful, but finally gave in and stopped struggling. She compromised.
“Your acting skills have improved a lot since we last met.” Robin sneered. This girl… he didn’t know what to say. Fortunately, his own daughter, Leslie, wasn’t like this sister-in-law. But who knows what Nina taught Leslie while he was away for so long.
“Actually, it’s our fault. We thought St. Sunday was not that dangerous. One of our scenes involves filming in the midst of war, and since St. Sunday is currently in a war, we thought the effect would be best. Also, we have a big star, Cain Johnson, who is in St. Sunday. We needed her for this scene, so we took a risk and came.” Alastair Angelo quickly apologized.
She really didn’t know St. Sunday was this dangerous. She even brought the family’s protector. She hadn’t expected to encounter a kidnapping as soon as they arrived. In fact, St. Sunday is not that dangerous now. Only because she brought Robin’s sister-in-law.
“Director, we want to go back. This is too dangerous. We have old people at home and children to take care of.” “Yes, you said it wasn’t that dangerous when we came here.” “Director, please let me go back, I beg you.”
The crew members who came with them also lost their courage at this moment. As soon as they arrived, they encountered such a situation. It was a matter of life and death. If they stayed any longer, no matter how high the salary was, they wouldn’t do it. They directly pleaded with Alastair Angelo.
“Okay.” After a moment of silence, Alastair Angelo finally agreed. It was indeed too dangerous. She was considering whether to go back herself.
