Rocky Hines, a professional hitman. was sitting on the couch in a room at one of Rivershire's luxury hotels.This wasn't the name he'd been born with. Both his father and grandfather had failed to live past the age of 29. Thus, when he'd come of age, he had his name changed—Rocky, a name that signified toughness and resilience.He hoped that he would be able to live to a ripe old age. At the very least, he wanted to spend more years alive than his father and grandfather had. It was the last day of his life as a 29-year-old. Once the clock struck midnight, he would officially turn 30.In honor of this birthday, Rocky had specifically bought a cake for a small, private celebration. He checked his watch. It was an hour and a half till midnight. He remained seated on the couch and waited patiently as the time slowly trickled by.Half an hour passed.Gradually, Rocky began to look a little frustrated, mumbling, "I thought I could close the final chapter of my 29th year on this planet b

"It's you!" Rocky exclaimed as his eyes widened in shock.The man in the doorway was none other than Cassian.Smiling faintly, Cassian remarked, "You didn't expect to see me so soon, huh?""How did you find me here?" Rocky questioned with a confused frown.While it made sense that the Shadow Aegis could track him down, how did Cassian manage to do it as well?"I have my ways. I would've come looking for you earlier today if I hadn't been held up by something else."Cassian glanced at the injured Frank before looking at Zoey, whom Rocky was holding hostage."Aren't you supposed to be a professional killer? Why do you like going after women so much? You don't have any class at all." Cassian mocked him."I'm a hitman. Who cares about class?""But you're a man!" Cassian said. He then proceeded to widen his eyes and wonder in feigned shock, "Could it be that you're not actually a man?""You're the one who's not a man!" Rocky snarled as he glowered resentfully at Cassian. "If it ha

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

"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

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
