Chapter 159

작가: Foxy Whispers
"Are you aware of what the martial world is, Cassian?" Anthony asked.

"The martial world is the world that permits people to fight each other to their hearts' content. No doubt it's a world filled with endless conflict," Cassian answered.

But Anthony shook his head. "That's not it."

"Then what exactly is the martial world?" Cassian asked.

"As long as people exist, that's where the martial world is," Anthony explained. "Be it the underworld, the hospital you work at, or even other places, as long as people exist, there will always be conflict going on. For example, playing mind games with each other, luring each other into traps, and forming new grudges with each other.

"Over the years, society has been improving marginally thanks to the flourish in our nation's economy as well as the advancement of science and technology. Still, some aspects of society still need improvement. Take the underworld, for example. It lacks authority and discipline, which is why the underworld will only

    Jasmine paused momentarily. A mixture of fear, anger, and sadness could be seen on her face.Cassian fell silent. He knew that something terrible must have happened on the night Jasmine left Jasperion.As expected, he heard Jasmine continue, "I don't know why, but news of us leaving Jasperion was leaked. We were surrounded before we even left the city itself."Those people kept demanding that Mason hand you over to them. Despite facing thousands of enemies, Mason only said one thing…"He told them, 'Over my dead body!'"At that point, Cassian envisioned a powerful man's silhouette.Jasmine went on. "Those people vowed to kill you, so it was inevitable for a great battle to occur. That night, Jasperion's roads and walls were painted red."With just a sword, Mason had slain 483 men on his own. No one could stop him. There he was, clad in white, looking as majestic as a conqueror of the world."A glimmer of admiration appeared in Jasmine's eyes at that moment.She continued, "In

    "It's a relief that you don't know him," Cassian replied. "He's dead."Jasmine's fork suddenly clattered to the table. She stared at Cassian in shock."What did you just say?""I said, Wraithbound is dead."As soon as Cassian's words fell, he saw tears spilling down Jasmine's cheeks. Alarmed, he asked, "Are you okay, Mom?"Jasmine wiped her tears away. "How did he die?""He contracted the Devil Trumpet's Kiss and spent the last 20 or so years in a hollowed-out saint's bust, where sunlight never reached him."After that, Cassian told Jasmine all about Wraithbound's life. Jasmine burst into tears once he was done speaking.The sight of Jasmine looking so grief-stricken told Cassian all he needed to know. Not only did she know Wraithbound, but she also shared a close relationship with him.A while later, Jasmine's tears finally stemmed. Cassian quickly handed her some tissue paper.Once Jasmine was done wiping her tears away, she choked out, "Wraithbound used to be your father's

    Cassian picked up his phone and answered the call."Cassian York speaking. Who's this?""Cassian, it's me, the most handsome man in the world—Chester Knox!" A gruff voice came from the other end of the line.Cassian wasted no time in yelling into the speaker. "As if! I'm the most handsome man in the world!"Chester guffawed in response. "Anyway, what have you been up to lately, Cassian? I haven't heard from you in the longest time!""What else can I do other than work my ass off? What about you, Chester? I haven't heard any news from you for a long time as well.""I've moved to Golding for work purposes. Right now, I'm working as a salesman at a pharmaceutical company. Work sucks for me, too."The person who called Cassian was Chester Knox. He was Cassian's roommate during their university days.When Cassian was still studying at Rivershire Medical Academy, he lived in a dorm with three other people. Everyone was so close to each other that they were akin to brothers. Cassian w

    Of course, that clinic must be a legitimate one. A legitimate clinic that specialized in traditional medicine often had a few doctors of that expertise working there."Dr. Frost, I quite like remaining in the surgical department. Can I not switch over to the traditional medicine department?" Cassian said with a bitter frown.Vera chastised him immediately. "Don't look down on traditional medicine, Cassian. The department's results might be lackluster, and there might only be very few doctors working in the department. Still, it's a major department at the end of the day."Also, you are to work at said department as the department head, not a regular doctor. Many doctors stayed in this line of work their whole lives without even getting a chance to become the head of their department. Do you know why?""Yeah," Cassian replied seriously. "They aren't as handsome as me."Vera rolled her eyes prettily. Then, she said, "It's not because they're not good enough—it's because they don't h

    Cassian felt as though he was dreaming at the moment. After all, he kept getting bombarded by good news."I didn't speak with you regarding my decision to let you serve as the head of the traditional medicine department. You won't blame me for that, right?" Vera spoke up again.Why would Cassian blame her? If anything, he was overjoyed. It hadn't been long since he'd officially become a doctor at Rivershire Hospital, and yet he was already promoted to the position of head of the traditional medicine department. He didn't expect to rise through the ranks so quickly.Meanwhile, Vera felt a little uneasy when Cassian didn't respond at all. She asked again, "Are you really blaming me for not saying anything to you?"Cassian decided to tease Vera at that moment. He put on a poker face and said, "Dr. Frost, my answer is yes. What will you do?""Wait, you're seriously blaming me? Then what should I do for you to forgive me?" Vera asked."That's easy. Give me a kiss, and I'll forgive you

    "What's done is done. What can you do about it?" Vera sounded quite hostile.Serena merely giggled. "Why don't you join in on the fun?""Hmph! You really are shameless!" Vera huffed coldly.Serena wasn't mad at all. Instead, she said sagely, "Vera, you're getting older by the day. It's time for you to find yourself a man. Keeping your libido bottled up is really bad for your health."Embarrassed and furious, Vera hollered, "Stop spouting nonsense, Serena Landon!""Wait, you didn't bottle your libido up?" Serena suddenly exclaimed in surprise, her eyes as wide as dinner plates. "No way! Vera, you actually… Oh my god, this is unbelievable!""Shut the hell up!" Vera was so furious that she was practically trembling at this point."Honey, I shall be leaving now! Bye!" Serena shot Cassian a playful wink. Then, she got into her wheelchair and left the ward with a smile."That shameless wench!"As soon as Vera's voice fell, Serena's silhouette appeared at the doorway again."Vera,
