Robin was dead sure they knew Bernard, and that they were old pals. "Mr. Penrod, you'd better spill the beans, or when I find the truth, I'm gonna put you guys on blast!"
Evan was feeling a bit antsy, but kept his poker face. "Mr. Spencer, have you verified that I'm a member of the Siren Organization, or have you seen me in contact with any of them?"
Robin stuffed his hands in his pockets, looked Evan straight in the eye. "I've seen the Siren Organization's member list once, your name was on it."
Evan scoffed, "You're from a noble family too, you should know that they mix in other nobles' names to throw everyone off the scent. Even if my name was on the list you saw, how can you be sure I'm a real member?"
The Siren Organization was pretty tight-lipped, mixing in fake members to the list, so even if it leaked, it would take some time to verify. But the list at their HQ was the real deal, and that list had been destroyed by Bernard. No list, no way to figure out who's in.
Robin, who had been relentlessly pursuing the Siren, was aware of the use of fake identities. The higher the person's status, the more likely their name appeared on the list. He had caught a few imposters in the past, which had angered certain individuals. While using this as an argument against Evan didn't hold much weight...
Closing the distance between them, Robin locked eyes with Evan. "One of my men exposed you once. That should count as evidence, shouldn't it?"
Evan didn't even flinch, his gaze unwavering. "Where is this man of yours? Bring him here to identify me face to face. Otherwise, you're just spinning tales."
Robin pointed a finger accusingly at Evan's chest. "You forget that you snapped his neck on the spot!"
Evan, who had ended numerous lives in that manner, remained unfazed. "You can't find this man, so you're fabricating a feeble excuse to brush me off, am I right?"
"I can't confirm his status, but when I arrived, he was still breathing. He divulged everything he witnessed!" Robin countered.
Robin jabbed Evan again, then suddenly reached up, grabbed his throat, and flung him against the car door.
"Evan, whether you admit it or not, in my eyes, you're it!"
"You suddenly looking for Bernard means he's part of the Siren Organization too!"
