Jade chimed in, "I've actually heard Nero mention this before. He said he'd fought Dustin several years ago, and I know he was injured after that fight. I don't know whether Dustin was."Cassian was taken aback. Was Dustin, his uncle, that powerful?Jasmine had told him that Dustin was obsessed with martial arts. His dream was to become truly invincible.Back when Mason had been ambushed by all of those powerful experts, not a single person from the York family stepped in to help out.When Cassian heard that, he thought about demanding justice from the York family once he was strong enough to avenge Mason. But from the looks of it now, he wouldn't be able to confront the York family after all.The York family was immensely powerful. Gabriel had once held a high office and wielded a great deal of authority. Howard was now the richest man in Charmya, his wealth rivaling that of nations.And Dustin was the bodyguard to Lincoln, the most powerful man in Charmya right now. He was also

Cassian's words floored everyone in the vicinity, but that wasn't all he had to say.He continued, "As they say, the eldest brother is also a father figure, and if a child goes astray, the fault lies with the parent. Cain is reckless and arrogant. He goes around doing whatever he pleases with no regard for any form of decency. This is the result of your indulgence and tolerance of his behavior."Even if Serena hadn't crippled him, someone else would've. Pardon me for being blunt, but you should be thanking Serena and me. If Cain hadn't been crippled after the incident at the Crystalis, there's no knowing what kind of trouble he might cause next."When that happens, even you, the war hero of the northern frontier, might not be able to protect him. In fact, he might even drag you down.""Have you finished?" Nero asked coldly."I have," Cassian replied. "If you want to maim me or even kill me, go right ahead. However, I'm not the type who'd just stand there and let someone attack me

"As for the Cox brothers, Charmaine, and Alfred, just find a spot to bury their bodies," Anthony instructed."What about the Danestians?" Griffin asked."Feed Emmanuel's and Messo's bodies to the dogs. As for Calix…" Anthony paused, and his tone grew even colder. "Leave his body out in the open for ten days. Let everyone see it."Stunned, Griffin quickly tried to caution him. "Maybe we should reconsider that, Mr. Kingsley. Calix is one of Daneast's Three Grandmasters. He holds an incredibly high standing and has many mentees. We might be inviting trouble upon ourselves if we do that."Jade also chimed in, "Calix is a Daneastian. Won't we be causing strife between the two countries if we just hang his corpse out like that?""There's nothing to worry about. Charmya is no longer as weak as it once was. We've grown a lot stronger now. How dare a rat from a bunch of islands come and commit such atrocities in our country? I want to make sure that even in death, he won't be able to rest

Cassian was floored. How could Anthony say they weren't rich when they had over 100 billion dollars? What a show-off he was!Meanwhile, Anthony's expression became sorrowful as he said, "Quite a few of our men died trying to protect me when Leland and the others ambushed me. I've failed them. Now that the battle is over, we need to compensate our fallen comrades—especially Aegis."He and Griffin worked together to kill several elders of the Hexen Coven before the battle. His contributions mustn't be forgotten."He declared, "I've decided to set up a memorial plaque for him in our headquarters. All the members must honor him there and let him know that as long as the Draconian Order exists, he will never be forgotten either."As for the others, apart from giving them a proper burial, we must also take care of their families. Each family will receive at least a million dollars."If they have family members who are over 60 years old, we will provide the necessary care for them to liv

Cassian was quite surprised."How did you know that?" he asked Heidi."Well, Rivershire Hospital is the best hospital in the city," Heidi replied."You're not only pretty but very smart, too," Cassian remarked teasingly.She flashed him a sweet smile before asking, "If you don't mind me asking, Dr. York, what's your relationship with Ms. Landon?""Take a guess," Cassian said with a secretive smile."Are you her boyfriend?" Heidi asked tentatively, her eyes widening."What makes you think that?""It's my first time seeing Ms. Landon invite a man to the office," Heidi said.Laughing, Cassian replied, "Congratulations. You got it right. I'm your CEO's boyfriend.""You really are, huh…"Heidi's eyes dimmed a little."What's wrong?" Cassian asked."It's nothing," she said, though she was quite disappointed.She'd finally met a guy who caught her eye, only to find that he was her boss's boyfriend. It was such a shame, really.Soon, they arrived on the 39th floor. Once the elev
