Author: Foxy Whispers
"That's the miraculous thing about this acupuncture technique, Lord Drakeford. Although it can't get rid of the poison, it can prolong your life and eliminate all pain," Cassian explained.

"If it's really as you say—that the abdominal pains will go away—then I don't mind giving it a shot."

Claude hastily chimed in, "Lord Drakeford has given his consent, Cassian. Hurry up and proceed with the acupuncture treatment to extend his life!"

"Do you have any silver needles here?" Cassian asked.

"We have them inside. I'll bring them over right away!" Claude said before dashing into the house.

He soon emerged with a complete medical kit that included acupuncture needles, disinfectant, cotton balls, and all the medical supplies that could possibly be needed.

Using a pair of tweezers, he picked up a cotton ball, poured some disinfectant onto it, and used it to disinfect the needles one by one. It took him almost three minutes to complete this process.

    The traditional medicine department was unusually quiet—so quiet it felt almost unnatural. Although it was pretty common not to see a single patient in sight, Cassian sensed that something was off.Hugh was still suspended and hadn't come in to work, which meant Peter and Fiona were the only ones there.Peter was going through some patient files with a worried frown. Fiona sat in the corner, quietly wiping away her tears."What's up with you two?" Cassian asked.Upon hearing his voice, Peter and Fiona both looked up. Peter set down the file he'd been holding and hastily stood up. He was about to greet Cassian when he saw Fiona suddenly throwing herself into Cassian's arms."Dr. York!" she cried out tearfully.Fiona clung to him tightly, her tears unstoppable. He felt her chest pressed against him and had to admit that she was pretty gifted in that area."What's wrong, Fiona?" he asked gently."Dr. York, I… I…" Fiona glanced at Cassian before hesitating."Did someone bully you?

    "Cassian, I can tell you're really resistant to joining the Shadow Aegis, so let me tell you more about it," Lincoln said earnestly."The Shadow Aegis is a powerful and mysterious military unit. Not only is it second to none in our country, but it's also renowned internationally. Although it's affiliated with the military, it operates independently and is directly under the command of the commander."Every single member is handpicked. Some specialize in close combat, some in tracking, some in firearms, some in explosives, and so on. In short, everyone who joins the Shadow Aegis possesses a unique skill of their own."The fact that you've been allowed to join means the commander has acknowledged your abilities. In the future, you might learn quite a lot if you get the chance to spar with the other members."Cassian simply nodded. Being the most mysterious and specialized military unit in Charmya, the Shadow Aegis certainly had its fair share of formidable experts—like Satine.It wo

    Cassian's eyes widened in alarm as he hastily cried out, "I never said I wanted to join the Shadow Aegis!""What you read out was the oath of the Shadow Aegis. Once you've recited it, it means you've voluntarily agreed to join the Shadow Aegis," Levi said."But I didn't make an oath!""You recited the oath just now, did you not?" Levi said with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes."That counts?""Certainly."Cassian wanted to curse. At last, he realized that Levi had tricked him.No, it wasn't just Levi. Jonah was probably in on it as well. After all, Jonah was the commander of the Shadow Aegis. He had to be the one who made this decision. Levi was simply carrying out his orders.Cassian felt pretty miffed. This was no reward. This was a blatant attempt to get him to continue working for the Shadow Aegis.Did they think he was a fool? He wasn't a toddler who'd fall for such tricks so easily!With that in mind, he asked, "General Wright, it's not too late for me to leave the Sha

    After pondering for half a minute, Cassian finally asked, "I can really ask for anything I want?""Anything," Jonah replied."Could you make me a general then?"Even before Jonah said anything, Levi's temper flared. He smacked his hand on the table before jabbing a finger at Cassian, snapping, "Take this seriously, you little brat! I busted my ass for most of my life before I became a general. How can you become a general when you're just a greenhorn who completed a single mission?"Lincoln chimed in, "It's not impossible for you to become a general, Cassian. You can join me. As long as you don't make any grave mistakes, I can promise you that you'll become a general after 30 years."30 years? Was that a joke? It remained to be seen whether Lincoln could even live for another 30 years. How was he going to keep that promise?While Cassian grumbled inwardly, Jonah spoke up."Cassian, you should understand that for a soldier to rise to the rank of general, it requires a combination

    Cassian scoffed. As if he'd waste his time guessing!"Just what is the reward?" he pressed.However, Felix chose to keep the suspense going. "What's the rush? You'll find out once we get to the military base."Cassian pursed his lips, deciding not to ask any further since Felix was clearly not going to tell him.Half an hour later, they arrived at the Rivershire Military Base. Felix led Cassian to the conference room where Lincoln, Levi, and Diego were all waiting for him. This time, they were dressed in full uniform.At the same time, Cassian noticed that the conference room was decorated pretty lavishly, with red flowers adorning the table as well."Attention! Let us now welcome back the hero who was returned in triumph!" Levi's booming voice sounded.Once the three generals got up from their chairs, he said, "Let us salute him!"Lincoln, Levi, Diego, and even Felix stood at attention to give Cassian a military salute. Feeling a little flustered, he quickly said, "That's too

    Dionne deliberately kept things suspenseful, to which Cassian snapped, "I'm not from Daneast. How should I know who Cade's mentor is?""I'll tell you. His mentor is Bryndor Morne, the War God of Daneast," Dionne replied.What the heck? Cade's mentor was the War God of Daneast?Dionne continued, "Lady Wynteris doesn't want you to attempt to kill Cade because his mentor is staying with the diviners. If you go there, you'll be walking into certain death."Anyway, that's everything Lady Wynteris instructed me to pass along. Please leave now, Mr. York. I need to clean up the place."Cassian didn't want to stick around either. He only had one thought in mind, and that was to get back to Charmya immediately. Things were a little too dangerous for him in Daneast.Should Cade come charging over with Bryndor in tow, there was a very slim chance of him making it back to Charmya alive."Please help me pass a message along to Isolde," he said to Dionne."Go ahead, Mr. York.""Tell her that
