Serena and Vera were both startled. They didn't know what was going on with Cassian. By the time Vera caught up to him, she saw him dashing down the stairs at top speed."Cassian! Cassian!"Vera shouted as she ran after him, but he ignored her and headed straight to the inpatient ward on another floor."Oh, no! That's where Shawn is!"Vera's expression stiffened when she realized Cassian was looking for Shawn. She kept running after him, shouting, "Cassian! Don't do anything stupid!"Alas, it was too late.Cassian kicked the door open, but he saw no sign of Shawn inside the hospital room. All he saw was Lydia sitting on the couch and using her phone."Where's Shawn?" Cassian questioned.Lydia jumped in fright when she saw someone shooting into the room. But once she noticed it was Cassian, her expression turned scornful."What are you doing here?" she asked derisively. "Have you come to apologize to Shawn?""I asked you a question. Where's Shawn?" Cassian repeated."I'm not

The abandoned building along Northcourt Road was the largest unfinished construction project in Rivershire.Years ago, a major real estate company had paid a fortune for the land and boldly declared it would build the tallest skyscraper in the city. But halfway through the construction, the company went bankrupt, and the owner fled the country, leaving behind the biggest failed project Rivershire had ever seen.Over the years, the city government had tried to find another company to take over the site, but for one reason or another, none of those efforts succeeded.So, the building had just been left there, half-built and deserted.It was a bit of an eyesore and hurt the city's image, but for the homeless and vagrants, it was actually a pretty decent place to stay. At least they could find shelter from the elements there.But early this morning, a group of street thugs stormed into the building. Every one of them looked mean and dangerous, wielding bats and clubs. They beat up any

Cassian had come over in such a hurry that he was still dressed in his nursing assistant uniform. Moreover, with his youthful face and physique, he looked like a college student. Nevertheless, his eyes were glinting with an icy ferocity."He's here, Wyatt," Shawn said with a grin.Wyatt looked around. Once he saw Cassian approaching, he released Jasmine's hair and snorted. "Once I'm done with your son, I'll come back and deal with you."Meanwhile, after spotting Cassian, Jasmine screamed, "Run, Cass! They want to kill you!""Surround him!"Worried that Cassian might escape, Wyatt swiftly gave the order. Armed with bats, Wyatt's lackeys dashed forward and closed in on Cassian.Ignoring them, Cassian looked at Jasmine and asked worriedly, "Are you okay, Mom?""I'm fine. Hurry up and leave, Cass. They want to kill you—"Wyatt slapped Jasmine in the face, shouting, "Say one more word, and I'll kill you!"Cassian's gaze fell on Wyatt as he growled, "How dare you hit my mother? You'

Cassian stared at Wyatt, his eyes cold and devoid of emotion. "Tell me how you wish to die."From the moment Wyatt had slapped Jasmine, Cassian made up his mind to kill him.Wyatt felt a flicker of fear in his heart, but with feigned bravado, he retorted darkly, "Do you even know who I am, punk?""No, and I don't care," Cassian said. "You hurt my mother, which means death is the only outcome for you.""You want to kill me?" Wyatt suddenly laughed. "Don't you know murder is illegal?"As if he were a ghost, Cassian popped up in front of Wyatt in a flash and slapped him across the face.Wyatt stood there in stunned disbelief. He had just been hit—and by a powerless nursing assistant to boot. This was sheer and utter humiliation!Furious, Wyatt felt a ball of fire raging in his chest. He wanted to rip Cassian apart."Have you any idea who I am?" Wyatt shouted."I'm not interested in who you are. I'll ask you again. How do you want to die?"Cassian's eyes grew colder."You want m

There were two famous mountains in Rivershire. One was Nimbus Peak, where the wealthy and powerful gathered. The other was South Peak, which was completely uninhabited.At the moment, up on South Peak, several of Claude's men were hard at work shoveling away to create a pit. Wyatt, who was all tied up, was kneeling in front of Cassian and begging for his life."Please don't kill me, Mr. York! I was only doing Shawn's bidding. He said if I killed you and your mother, he'd give me a million dollars."Despite looking rather fearsome with his massive build and scarred face, Wyatt was trembling in fear."So, you'll kill someone just because he tells you to. What if he told you to eat shit? Would you do that too?" Cassian asked coldly."Mr. York, if you spare me, I'll be your most loyal subordinate. I'll even be your slave if you want," Wyatt pleaded pathetically."You're not even qualified to be my slave," Cassian declared.He had already made up his mind to eliminate all possible da
