Chapter 179

Author: Foxy Whispers
Alas, Cassian noticed no change on his forehead at all. He felt rather frustrated, thinking that he'd wasted all that time for nothing.

He checked the time. Upon realizing it was 9:00 pm, he quickly slipped on his shoes. He wanted to freshen up by washing his face before heading down to prepare some food for Serena. Stepping into the bathroom, he stood in front of the mirror and was startled by what he saw.

From his reflection in the mirror, he noticed that his complexion had improved, and so had the condition of his skin. His features looked more defined as well, and most importantly, he seemed to have gained an even more refined air.

"With a face like this, it's such a shame I'm not an actor," Cassian remarked while staring closely at his reflection.

All of a sudden, he noticed something else. There was something slightly different about his eyes as well. His pupils seemed darker than before.

"I bet few women could resist me if I looked at them with these dashing eyes. But what'

    Cassian was a little nervous. After all, Thiago was on the brink of death. One wrong move, and Thiago's life would come to an end."Give me a needle!"Cassian stretched out his hand, and Horace immediately placed a gold needle onto his palm. He proceeded to insert it into Thiago once more.In the span of a single breath, he stuck 36 needles into Thiago's body. Most of them had been placed along Thiago's legs and right arm. Only his left arm remained needle-free."Mr. Hudson, is there a brazier in the house?" Cassian suddenly asked."Yes, there is," Claude replied. "Ever since he was poisoned, Lord Drakeford's body swings between bouts of feeling hot or cold, so we've kept braziers in the house to use whenever he needs additional warmth.""Bring one over."Claude hurried off and came back with a brazier. It was an old-fashioned kind with a wooden frame that surrounded a metal basin. A fire had been lit, and the charcoal was burning strongly.Cassian dragged the brazier to the si

    "Let me do it instead," Horace said.He took the disinfectant and carefully started sterilizing the gold needles. Meanwhile, Cassian took off Thiago's clothing and found that half of his body looked bruised and reddish, while the other was ghostly pale.When he pressed his palm against Thiago's body, the red side felt scorching hot, as though he had touched a smouldering piece of charcoal. On the other hand, the pale side felt like a sheet of ice that had been frozen for centuries, chilling him to the bone.It was clear that the Two-Fanged Venom had already taken hold of Thiago's heart vessels."Here," Horace said, passing the sterilized gold needles to Cassian.Taking the gold needles, Cassian swiftly stabbed one in between Thiago's brows, followed by another on the crown of his head and a final one in his throat. He placed them with great precision and without the slightest bit of hesitation.Horace was taken aback. It was his first time seeing someone insert acupuncture needle

    "Gold needles?" Claude repeated as he froze, stunned.Acupuncture treatments were usually conducted with silver needles. Where could he find a set of gold needles?Cassian explained, "Lord Drakeford was poisoned with the Two-Fanged Venom, and the parasitic poison is still within his body. Gold needles contain light energy, while the poison is a form of dark energy, so they are the perfect counter."Claude was at a loss. "It's easy enough to find silver needles, but I've never seen gold needles before. I don't know where I can find them."One of the old doctors jumped in, saying, "Dr. Sunderland owns a set of gold needles, Claude. He carries it with him at all times.""Really?"Eyes lighting up, Claude quickly requested, "Dr. Sunderland, can I borrow your set of gold needles?"Ignoring Claude, Horace looked at Cassian and asked, "Did you say that Lord Drakeford is suffering from a parasitic poison?""That's right," Cassian confirmed with a nod."You intend to use acupuncture to

    While Claude was speechless, Horace continued addressing Cassian."I'm sure you know full well the status Lord Drakeford holds. Once something happens to him, Rivershire will be thrown into chaos. If you refuse to share your treatment method, I won't let you do anything to him. In the past, there have been people who pretended to be doctors just to get close to him and harm him.""Dr. Sunderland, Cassian is a close friend of Lord Drakeford. There's no way he'd ever try to harm him," Claude said.If it had been anyone else interfering right now, Claude wouldn't have wasted his breath. He'd have simply drawn his gun. But alas, he couldn't do that with Horace.Apart from having a rather eccentric temper, Horace was also a good friend of Thiago's. He had served as Thiago's personal doctor for years and dedicated himself to the role. It wouldn't be a little too disrespectful to draw a gun on him."Kindly allow me to ask you a question, Dr. Sunderland. Do you have a way to treat Lord Dr

    The call was from Claude, and when Cassian saw Claude's name on the screen, his expression turned serious. He had a feeling something bad had happened with Thiago. He hurriedly took the call."Mr. Hudson—"The moment he began speaking, Claude's grave voice came through the speaker. "Cassian, Lord Drakeford isn't going to make it.""How is he now?" Cassian quickly asked, his heart tensing."He'd suddenly vomited blood earlier and fallen unconscious afterward. His heartbeat is weakening. His doctors say he won't be able to hang in there much longer."Cassian's heart sank. Although he already knew that Thiago only had a few days left to live, he didn't expect the end to come so soon."Do whatever it takes to ensure that Lord Drakeford doesn't stop breathing, Mr. Hudson. Make sure he holds out until I get there," Cassian instructed. "I can save him.""Are you serious?" Claude exclaimed in joy."Wait for me. I'll be right there."After ending the call, Cassian said to Frank, "Somet

    Rocky had only one thought in his mind right now—he needed to leave at once. The second rule of a hitman was to run if the fight wasn't in one's favor. Being a professional, he'd already scoped out the room when he checked in and planned his escape route.There was a window approximately ten feet behind him. He could escape if he jumped out the window."Who exactly are you?" Rocky asked Cassian as he began backing up toward the window, still holding Zoey hostage."You don't need to know who I am. Just tell me who your client is," Cassian said calmly. "This is your last chance.""Dream on. I won't tell you anything about my client, not even if I die."Rocky kept retreating, inching nearer to the window.Sighing, Cassian remarked, "I wanted to let you live, but you seem to have your heart set on getting yourself killed instead, so don't blame me for this."As he took a step forward, he suddenly began exuding a chilly, murderous air."You stop right there! I'm warning you. If you
