It went without saying that there was a chance Cassian's birth father had died a long time ago. Nevertheless, he was determined to locate his father, dead or alive."You can tell me more about your father. I'll send people to look for him on your behalf," Thiago suggested."Stop trying to pull a fast one over me, Lord Drakeford. How are you going to help me find my father when your own life is in danger?" Cassian argued. "You don't need to try to convince me any further. I won't be leaving the country, and I doubt my mother would want to either.""But—""Whether I live or die, there's no fighting destiny. There's no point in trying to change my mind."After seeing how resolute Cassian was, Thiago sighed heavily. However, Claude wasn't ready to give up just yet, so he said, "Cassian, we can slowly think of a way to locate your father. Right now, the most important thing is to stay alive. Come with me.""Thank you, Mr. Hudson, but like I said, there's no point in trying to fight de

Jerome still looked sharp and energetic as he sat in the very center, dressed in a three-piece suit. Lincoln sat to his left, and on his right was his younger son, Valen. There was a group of people behind them, and Cassian spotted a familiar face among them—Vera!She was indeed Jerome's granddaughter.Truth be told, from the very first moment Cassian saw Vera, her stunning beauty and air of sophistication gave him the feeling that she came from a prestigious family. He simply didn't expect her family to be this powerful.Thanks to this revelation, another question nagged at Cassian's mind.Why did Vera, with her influential background and stellar education abroad, end up at Rivershire Hospital?Family connections and academic credentials like hers would open doors for her in any of the hospitals in Charmya, but she chose Rivershire Hospital of all places. What was the reason for that?Cassian studied the picture once more, wanting to see what Blake looked like. However, there we

Thiago didn't expect Anthony to find out about the estate in Agrasia. Instantly, sweat soaked through the back of his shirt."I'll be honest with you, Mr. Kingsley. I intend on sending my grandson abroad," Thiago admitted."Why? Have you done something to offend me?" Anthony asked, his smile still pleasant as ever, but his voice cold with hostility."Not at all," Thiago said as he met Anthony's gaze. "I can swear to you that I've never done anything to harm you, Mr. Kingsley."Anthony stared at him in silence. Half a minute passed before he finally asked, "Then why are you trying to send your grandson away?"With a bitter look on his face, Thiago said, "I've made an enemy. I'm afraid he'll come after my family.""Are you referring to Cain Salazar?""That's right." Thiago nodded. "Mr. Salazar was seriously injured. There's no way he's going to let me off the hook.""I was attacked while in your territory, too. Do you think I'll let you off the hook?" Anthony questioned, his smil

Cassian went on, "Secondly, Lord Drakeford had no clue you were arriving in Rivershire. You didn't ask him to send people to protect you either. The fault surrounding the assassination attempt lies solely with you. How can you pin the blame on Lord Drakeford?"You're the sect master of the Draconian Order. You know better than everyone else just how many people in this world want you dead. Would the people after you even have a chance to strike if you'd taken the necessary precautions?"As for your men who died, they died trying to protect you, which means their lives wouldn't have been lost if not because of you. In fact, you're the reason why they're dead—""How insolent!" Pax interrupted with a furious snarl before Cassian finished speaking.Cassian glanced over and realized Pax, the man who spoke, was the one who had been holding the blade earlier. Sneering, he growled, "How dare a lowly minion like you speak up when I'm talking to your master?""Why, you—""What about me? A

Eyes flashing coldly, Anthony said in a steely voice, "Now's not the time to go after them. Once I've unified everything under my rule, I'll deal with them. When the time comes, it doesn't matter if they're sorcerers or necromancers. I'll wipe them all out."…Back at the Drakeford residence, after Anthony had left, the ashen-faced Thiago and Claude were still reeling from the terrifying encounter.Cassian wasn't doing much better. The back of his shirt was soaked through.Sighing, Thiago said, "You shouldn't have come today, Cassian. I'm already a dead man walking. I'll die sooner or later. Even though you saved me, you've dragged yourself into this, too. It's not worth it.""Don't say that," Cassian replied. "Back at Crystalis last night, you and Mr. Hudson stood up for me against Cain, and both of you got hurt because of it. What I did was nothing compared to the help you've given me.""In any case, I owe you one. Thank you," Thiago said gratefully.Claude chimed in, "Cassian
