Chapter 361

Michael got out of the car to take a look. Sure enough, he saw a woman lying in front of the car, about ten feet away. But once he got closer to her, his expression became a little strange."Is she dead, Michael?" Frederick called out, his expression calm—as if he'd merely asked about something trivial.Michael stole a quick glance around. After confirming that nobody else was in the vicinity and there were no security cameras in sight, he waved at Frederick. "Frederick, come out here and see for yourself."Frederick climbed out of the car. When he saw the woman's bloodied body, he frowned in disgust."Ugh. What rotten luck!" he grumbled before coming over to put two fingers beneath the woman's name. "She's not dead yet. I can feel her breath.""Do you know who she is, Frederick?" Michael said."Who is she?" Frederick asked, sounding quite surprised. "Do you know her, Michael?""Her name is Jasmine Chandler. She's Cassian's mother.""What did you say?" Frederick couldn't quite

Chapter 362

Right when it seemed like Jasmine was moments away from certain death, a figure appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her off the road, pulling her to the side just in time to avoid getting hit by the car."Who are you?" Michael exclaimed as he whipped his head over.The figure had moved too quickly from him to even get a good look at the person's face.Soon, a familiar face came into view. With his prominent brows and tanned skin, he looked like a movie star."Mr. Anderson?" Michael blurted out in shock.It was indeed Leon who'd popped up to save Jasmine.Putting a smile on his face, Michael hurried up to Leon and greeted him warmly, asking, "What brings you here, Mr. Anderson?"Leon completely ignored Michael. He crouched down to check on Jasmine, exhaling a secret sigh of relief once he confirmed she was still alive.Only then did he raise his head and look at Frederick, who hastily turned off the engine and rushed out of the car.After walking up to Leon, he asked respectful

Chapter 363

"I'll take Cassian's mother to Rivershire Hospital for treatment, but I won't let Cassian see her," Leon said. "Besides, it's safer if she's in my hands than yours, no?"Frederick's expression improved at that. "You're absolutely right, Mr. Anderson. Once we've dealt with Cassian, I'll be sure to thank you with a gift.""I'm a simple man. Instead of a present, I'd much prefer money," Leon bluntly stated.His smile widening, Frederick said, "Rest assured, Mr. Anderson. I'll make sure you're satisfied.""Good.""We won't take up any more of your time now, Mr. Anderson. See you!" Frederick said before swiftly leaving with Michael.After getting into the car, Michael commented with a frown, "Considering the way Leon's acting, it's pretty hard to put a finger on his attitude. Frederick, do you think he has some other motive?""You don't need to worry too much about it, Michael," Frederick said with a smirk. "On the contrary, his actions today make me think he's someone worth being ac

Chapter 364

Cassian was having lunch with Serena's family when Leon's call came.Ambrose said pleasantly, "Your work must keep you very busy all the time, Cassian. Since it's your first time here, let Serena show you around the city after lunch."Smiling, Quinn added, "We certainly have a lot of attractions in this region, such as Willowmist Lake, Lightning Tower, and Abbey of the Silent Spirit, along with countless others. You must stay a few more days, Cassian. I'll be sure to prepare lots of good food for you as well.""Of course. Thank you, Mrs. Landon," Cassian replied in agreement."My father said he intends to return to you the Nocturne Orb you gave him last night. What do you think?"What did Cassian think?Why would the receiver seek the opinion of the giver first if he truly intended to return a gift? How insincere!Knowing that Ambrose was testing him, Cassian replied with a smile, "Once given, a gift should never be taken back, Mr. Landon. In any case, that was meant to be Mr. L

Chapter 365

After ending the call, Cassian said, "My mom got hit by a car, Serena. I need to get back to Rivershire right away."Alarmed, Serena asked, "Is she badly hurt?""She has two broken ribs, but her life isn't in any danger," Cassian replied, though his expression remained as murderous as ever. "Frederick and his friends were the ones behind it. Thankfully, Leon appeared in time. Otherwise, my mom would've died."Serena's expression turned frosty as well. "Frederick and those two? Do they have a death wish?""I thought they'd behave themselves a bit after what happened at Crystalis. Who would've thought that they'd double down and go even further instead? Since that's the case, they can go straight to hell!" Cassian snarled.It was the first time he'd ever exhibited this much bloodlust.As they all said, everyone had a button that should never be pushed, and for Cassian, Jasmine was that button."Since she's alright, you don't need to be too rushed. Sit down and finish your food fir

Chapter 366

Two hours later, the flight landed at Rivershire Airport. A Mercedes-Benz sedan was already parked outside the airport, awaiting the arrival of Cassian and Serena.Dressed in a figure-hugging leather outfit paired with heeled boots, Jessica caught quite a bit of attention in her cool-looking get-up.When she spotted Cassian and Serena exiting the airport, she briskly walked up to them, greeting them with a smile, "Ms. Landon—""Take us to Rivershire Hospital," Serena instructed as she opened the back door of the car and got in.Cassian hopped right in as well, leaving Jessica to pout in slight vexation. Previously, whenever Serena came back from her travels, she would always bring a gift from Jessica. This time, not only was she empty-handed, but she'd also spoken rather curtly to Jessica."Hmph. It's all because of Cassian! I'll get you for this," Jessica ranted under her breath before driving to Rivershire Hospital.Once they arrived, Cassian headed straight to the Intermediate

Chapter 367

Leon's subordinate glanced at Cassian before answering, "The driver is waiting for him in the parking lot.""I see."Once Leon waved him off, the man hurriedly took his leave."You don't need to deal with someone as insignificant as Frederick yourself, boss. Let me handle it," Leon said.Cassian shook his head. "Since this involves my mom, I want to deal with it myself."He wouldn't be able to assuage his fury and resentment if he didn't take action himself. After retrieving a cap from the back seat, he instructed Leon, "Go on back. I'll take care of this."Once he got out of the car and disappeared from view, Leon drove off.Cassian still recalled the advice Ambrose had given him—to have a plan before taking any action.Although he was brimming with rage and eager to kill Frederick right away, he didn't lose his cool. Avoiding all the surveillance cameras, he snuck into the parking lot. Upon locating Frederick's car, he tapped on the front window.The window rolled down, and

"I can't believe they took a flight home! They should've been in a plane crash then! Fucking hell," Frederick ranted as he left the Lotus Lounge.Once he got to the parking lot, he signaled for his driver, and the car soon came to a stop in front of him.Frederick waited for a few moments, getting even more furious when there was no sign of the driver coming out to open the door for him. He kicked the car, but the driver remained seated anyway, so he had no choice but to yank the door open and get in by himself."Drive!""Where to?" the driver asked."Did you bash your head against a door or something?" Frederick roared. "Why do you even need to ask me that? Take me home!""I'm afraid that's not going to be possible," the driver said before turning around and flashing a sinister grin at him."C-Cassian? What are you doing here?" Frederick exclaimed in alarm.His immediate instinct was to open the car door, but it was locked and refused to budge, no matter how hard he pushed."

Chapter 369

Frederick couldn't understand why Cassian was asking him to shoot. He figured Cassian was probably scared stupid."Are you so keen to die? Don't worry. I'll kill you, alright, but I'd be going too easy on you if I let you die just like that. I'm going to—""Shoot!" Cassian barked.This time, he managed to enrage Frederick, who shouted, "How dare you raise your voice at me when you're a goner? So you want to die, huh? Fine! I'll grant your wish!"He immediately pulled the trigger, and at the very next second, his expression changed dramatically.No bullet was fired. How could that be?Frederick squeezed the trigger a few more times, but still, nothing came out. Was the gun broken?While he was still busy processing this situation, Cassian sneered. "You're trying to kill me with an unloaded gun? What a moron."An unloaded gun?Frederick quickly checked the magazine, only to find it empty. That didn't make sense. He was sure he'd loaded the gun, so where did all the bullets go?

Chapter 370

The overpass stood over 300 feet above the ground. If a car fell from such a height, there could only be one possibility—a fatal crash, killing every passenger and totaling the car.Cassian didn't stick around. He quickly left the place and sent a text.Ten minutes later, Leon arrived. Standing behind Cassian, he called out respectfully, "Boss.""Where's Michael and Jordan now?" Cassian asked coldly.Killing Frederick alone wasn't enough to appease his fiery resentment. He wanted to take down every last one of them."Michael owns a villa in the city. Jordan is with him right now," Leon reported."Take me there.""Right away."Leon drove Cassian to the neighborhood where Michael's villa was. From a distance, they saw four men standing guard outside."Apart from the four guards outside, there are also bodyguards patrolling the compound inside. You can leave them to me while you deal with Michael and Jordan yourself, boss," Leon said."That won't be necessary. I can handle them
