The Deadly 944
Chapter 944 The Invitation from the Avingtons
Luella stood there, watching the scene unfold before her, shaking her head bitterly.
The plaza in front of the villa was eerily quiet.
Felix walked over to Ernst's lifeless body, tears streaming down his face.
After a long while, he noticed that Ernst's other hand was still clutching a pocket over his chest.
Felix carefully pried the hand away.
Inside the pocket was a photograph of Allie, taken 50 years ago.
Staring at Allie's youthful beauty in the photo, Felix sighed heavily, a bitter ache in his heart.
He gently returned the faded photograph to the pocket, pressing it close to Ernst's chest.
"Kolton, when we return, let's bring Ernst and his children back to Autreynia," Felix said quietly. "We'll bury them next to Allie."
"Yes, boss!" Kolton immediately gave orders for Ernst's body to be placed in the car.
Felix wiped the tears from his eyes and bowed slightly to Robin. "Mr. Ramsey, I apologize for the scene."
Robin nodded impassively. "It's part of life. There's nothing to laugh at or be upset about. We choose our joys and sorrows, and once they pass, they're gone. Let it go, and let's move on."
Felix watched Robin's back for a moment, then suddenly had an epiphany.
Yes, everything would pass.
The pain they were experiencing now, like everything before it, would soon fade away.
"Mr. Ramsey, how about I invite you to dinner at my estate tonight?" Felix asked.
Robin waved his hand dismissively. "You should get some rest too. Don't bother with formalities for my sake. Just take me back to the hotel. I need to wash off this blood, and we can discuss things tomorrow." "Understood, Mr. Ramsey." Felix and Luella escorted Robin to the private luxury car and drove him to the Duskhaven Grand Hotel.
On the way, Felix received a call from Cuthbert Avington, Head of Market Regulation on Qacalisle Island.
"Mr. Felix, as per your request, I've prepared a comprehensive plan for the development and management of the island. When would it be convenient for you tonight? I'd like to visit you at your estate." Felix thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Avington, I'd rather not meet anyone tonight. Let's arrange for tomorrow. We can discuss the redevelopment then.
"The Cattells have caused nothing but chaos on the island these past few years; it's time for a cleanup. Please send the plan to Luella, so she can review it.
"If possible, I'm considering entrusting the management of the island to you; I hope you won't let me down."
Cuthbert exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Felix, you can count on me. If you hand it over to me, I'll make it the most beautiful island in the world!
"There will be no more of the chaos from the Mateo era. I will bring peace to the island."
"You don't need to make empty promises," Felix interrupted, shaking his head.
"I'll have an oversight committee, and there will be regular annual audits of the island's operations.
"Previous mismanagement allowed the island to become a hideout for the World of Darkness and certain obscure sects."
Cuthbert assured him.noveldrama
"Mr. Felix, my family has been a prominent family on the Island for many years. We know the island well, and we're capable of managing it.
"Tomorrow, I've prepared a grand
welcome dinner at our family estate for you and Ms. Luella. I will be
honored to listen to your guidance in
person," Cuthbert continued

"I've also invited Cyril Higgins, the special envoy of the Thalrex Order, along with various foreign diplomatic attaches who are attending the conference to join us.
"If it's not inconvenient for you, I would be happy to pick you up personally at the estate tomorrow afternoon."
Felix didn't refuse, replying immediately, "Alright. We'll discuss your plan for Qacalisle Island's future development at the dinner."
"Thank you, Mr. Felix!" Cuthbert replied eagerly.
"By the way, I've heard from Cyril that you're hosting a distinguished friend who is also representing one of the participating countries. If you don't mind, I'd like to invite this guest as well. Would that be alright?"
Felix looked over at Robin and replied directly, "Of course, but I need to check with him first.
"If he agrees, I'll be sure to accompany him. I can't give you a definitive answer yet."
The call ended.
Felix turned to Robin and asked, "Mr. Ramsey, I'd like to invite you to a dinner by tomorrow afternoon.
"Cuthbert Avington is the Director of the Market Regulation Department on Qacalisle Island. He is hosting a welcome banquet at his estate.
"He has invited the attending foreign diplomatic attaches and the special envoy of the organizing committee.
"He learned from Cyril that you'll be attending, and he wants to extend the invitation to you."
"Mr. Ramsey, you should join if you
have the time. It would be a
wonderful opportunity to relax. Also, please help me assess whether
Cuthbert is someone we can rely on.
"He has done well in managing the market order on the island. The streets are much cleaner now, and the chaos has reduced significantly.
"Although he was appointed during the Mateo era, according to his reports, he is not like Mateo.
"Cuthbert is from a local family with deep roots in the region. If he can manage the island well, it would be ideal."
Robin had initially planned to refuse but decided he wanted to learn more about his father's past.
"Alright. The competition will take a few more days. I have nothing pressing. I can join you tomorrow."
Felix was pleased. "Great! Mr. Ramsey, I'll pick you up at the hotel tomorrow at 10 AM."
...
Back at the Duskhaven Grand Hotel, Trix and Zayden were already waiting in the lobby.
"Mr. Ramsey!" Trix greeted him respectfully. "I apologize for my behavior earlier today."
"You don't need to apologize. That was your work matter," Robin replied without turning to her, heading straight to his room.
Zayden shrugged helplessly. "Trix, I've told you, it's no use.
"Someone like Mr. Ramsey never gives a person without principles a second chance."
Trix fumed. "I made one mistake, that's all!"
Zayden shook his head and said, "A true powerhouse doesn't allow any mistakes from his subordinates, not even once. "Because that one mistake could be fatal."
Robin paused in front of his room door and said, "Zayden, in 20 minutes, have Anton come to my room. I need to speak with him."
