"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

Jasmine continued, "Since then, everyone called Mason 'the Lord of Carnage.' His name also became a taboo in Jasperion."Cassian was completely shell-shocked at that point. How could one man kill three thousand people with just a sword? What sort of crazy achievement was that?Not even Nero, who was ranked first on the Empyrean Ranking, could even do that!"Not only that, but Mason also killed every soul who had seen us on the run. He did that to protect us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have led such peaceful lives in Rivershire for the past 20 years or so."Jasmine continued, "Cass, your father made a huge enemy out of the entire nation just for your sake. That's why you can hate anyone but him.""Mom, where… Where did Dad go in the end? Is he… dead?" Cassian asked in a low tone."I have no idea where he went after that. After that night, there wasn't any more news on him."Jasmine became agitated all of a sudden. "I've been waiting for Mason for so many years in Rivershire! I know

Mitch grabbed the microphone and began talking into it."Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, as well as my fellow friends! Tonight, we're gathered here to attend the Excellence in Medicine Awards Ceremony that's been hosted for the seventh time in Rivershire! This isn't just an honor for the doctors who will be receiving their awards tonight, but also the honor of all parties involved in the medical industry."These award-winning doctors stood firmly on the frontlines without wavering. They used their passion and their medical skills to save countless patients and lives. Their feats and achievements are incredibly touching, and they serve as good role models for us to learn from."I hope that this awards ceremony can inspire all of our brethren in the medical industry to learn from the best and draw inspiration from them. They should devote themselves to saving lives while remaining diligent in studying and working hard. Also, I hope that they can strive for excellence as well as co

The moment Cassian posed his question, everyone froze in bewilderment. They'd assumed he'd give a self-introduction before saying a few words of gratitude. Who would've thought he'd start off his speech so unexpectedly?The crowd fell silent. Everyone wondered who would be the happiest in the world.Cassian started speaking once more."Who exactly are the happiest people in this world? There are many possible answers. A foreign newspaper once conducted a survey on this very question and came up with three answers."The first is a doctor who braved immense risk and finally saved a critical patient from the clutches of death. The second is a mother who, after a long day's work, bathes her baby at night. The third is an artist who whistles a tune of joy while admiring his newly completed work."I found the answers to be quite accurate, for I am a doctor myself. It fills me with gratitude that everyone is able to not only see the joys and hardships of this job of ours but also lavish

Cassian's eyelids jumped. What was Vera doing? Did she really feel that warm with the air conditioner running?But Vera didn't stop there. Her fingers undid the second button of her blouse next, revealing even more of her smooth skin.Cassian immediately averted his gaze, too scared to keep looking. But for some reason, a little voice inside his head kept urging him to carry on observing her. Thus, he turned his eyes back on her.Vera noticed his reaction, and her eyes flashed with a glint of mischief. She placed her fingers on the third button.Cassian's gaze locked onto her fingers. In his mind, he was chanting for her to undo the button. But instead, she stopped abruptly and asked, "Am I attractive, Cassian?""Yeah," he answered with a nod."Who's more attractive, me or Serena?"There it was again!Cassian wondered why women all liked asking this pointless question."You and Serena give off different vibes. You are both beautiful in your own ways," Cassian answered truthful
