Cassian was visibly shocked. He'd never seen a snake this huge before. It had to be over 30 feet long, with a head bigger than a sink and two bulging eyes that looked like bronze orbs.The snake's entire body was green, with a bowl-sized green patch on its forehead that shimmered under the sunlight. It slithered rapidly along the freeway toward Jorm before suddenly raising its head.Its head rose three feet off the ground, like a mighty beast surveying the land. It let out a rumbling hiss, baring its razor-sharp fangs.A foul stench wafted over."What the heck? The snake's breath stinks!"Cassian nearly threw up.Dunley, however, grinned when he saw the giant snake. "Now that I've come down Mount Tigris, it's been a while since I last had snake meat. This one should keep me satisfied for a long time."Jorm was outraged. "Isn't gluttony a sin for people like you? Aren't you afraid of losing the will to cultivate if you give in to your desires so easily?""I fear nothing," Dunley

"Get out of my way!" Dunley snarled as he slapped the snake away.The snake hissed in pain before swiftly whipping its tail over, once again blocking Dunley's path.Dunley looked up and saw that Jorm was already several 100 yards away. It was too late for him to catch up to Jorm.Furious, he cursed inwardly. He'd carelessly allowed Jorm to get away."How dare you block my path, you filthy snake? Time for you to die!"Dunley shot forward and punched the snake right in the head. It was thrown backward, its head exploding in the air.Cassian gasped. He didn't expect Dunley to actually kill a snake with a single punch to the head. That was truly… terrifying.After falling onto the ground with a thud, the snake's body didn't move at all. It was dead.Alas, that wasn't enough to appease Dunley's rage. He marched right over and kicked the snake a few more times."What a shame. This was such a great opportunity to take down Jorm, but he got away," Griffin grumbled in dissatisfaction.

At 8:30 am, Cassian, Griffin, and Dunley arrived at Ewedorf. They were dropped off in front of a luxurious hotel per Griffin's instructions."Mr. Kingsley is staying here?" Cassian asked, feeling a little surprised.He would think that someone of Nino's standing would at least be staying in some picturesque estate somewhere. Moreover, with his enemies lurking on every corner, he needed to find a secure hiding spot.Pointing at another hotel nearby, Griffin explained, "Those elders of the Hexen Coven used that hotel."Looking between the two hotels, Cassian realized they were not more than 300 feet apart. Nino was truly bold for staying here.Chuckling, Dunley remarked, "Hiding in plain sight, huh?""That's right," Griffin replied. "Mr. Kingsley said that the most dangerous place is also the safest. Even though this looks like an ordinary location, it's safer than everywhere else. We've been right under their noses for ages now, but they haven't found us.""Are the people from th

The room fell into pin-drop silence. Even though Anthony was seated calmly, the murderous air that came off him made everyone else shudder.Cassian also felt like he had a hard time breathing, which stunned him.By all logic, given his current cultivation, most people couldn't intimidate him like that, but Anthony managed to do it effortlessly.Cassian couldn't help but marvel in silence.Anthony was indeed worthy of being the sect master of the Draconian Order. Despite not knowing any martial arts, in terms of his presence and bearing, he was just as formidable as the most powerful experts."How's your injury?" Anthony asked as his eyes rested on Griffin's shoulder."It's a lot better now," Griffin said."It is?" Anthony sounded surprised.Smiling, Griffin explained, "Cassian treated it for me. He's the most skilled doctor I've ever met."Anthony looked over at Cassian and said, "Thank you.""Not at all, Mr. Kingsley. We're all friends here. It's what I should do," Cassian s

Cassian didn't see this coming at all. He never thought Anthony would pass the leadership of the Draconian Order to him.More importantly, this made his heart sink. Anthony was clearly making arrangements in the event of his death. In other words, he didn't feel confident about tonight's battle."Mr. Kingsley, I don't have what it takes to expand the order's territories or lead it to global dominance. My knowledge and experience are both insufficient. I cannot shoulder the responsibilities of being the sect master. Please find someone more capable," Cassian said in an attempt to decline.He was a doctor. If not for the situation with Thiago back then, he would never have joined the Draconian Order, let alone risen to lead Rivershire's underworld himself. His dream was to become a great physician, not an underworld kingpin."This is my decision," Anthony said firmly. "You are the only choice to succeed me as the Draconian Order's leader.""This doesn't seem appropriate at all, Mr.
