All Chapters of Master of Life and Death: Chapter 511 - Chapter 520

Like a dutiful wife, Vera proceeded to bring out about six dishes in total from the kitchen, including fruits and dessert. The table was covered in food."Why did you order so much, Vera? The two of us can't possibly finish all that," Cassian commented."It doesn't matter if we can't finish it, as long as we enjoy the food." Vera took two bottles of tequila from the liquor cabinet.Cassian jumped in alarm. "We're drinking tequila?""Scared?" Vera stared at him."I love tequila, but it's pretty strong. I'm worried you'll get drunk," Cassian said.Vera shot him a sidelong glance. "Don't you men like it when women get drunk? What was that saying, again? Men can shoot their shot once a woman has taken enough shots?"Huh?Was she thinking about getting drunk so I could shoot my shot with her?While Cassian's thoughts ran wild, Vera flashed a smile at him and said, "Since you like tequila, I'll leave these two bottles to you. I'll have some red wine."What the heck?Cassian wanted

"It's too hot," Vera said before undoing a button on her top, revealing her fair skin.Cassian's heart started pounding wildly."Do you feel hot?" Vera asked Cassian as she undid a second button.Even more of her skin was now on display.Cassian hurriedly shifted his gaze, not daring to look any longer. He could feel the blood rushing in his veins. At the same time, he suddenly realized that this situation felt oddly familiar.The last time he drank with Vera at her place, she'd also started undoing her buttons.Why was she repeating it now? What was she trying to do?Cassian glanced over just in time to see Vera putting her hands on the next button. Without blinking, he stared right at her hands. The moment she undid another button, he would be blessed with a view of her snowy mounds.But she stopped there.Her hands were gripping the button, but she just didn't seem to be undoing it.Cassian felt restless, as if ants were crawling over his skin. It was quite uncomfortable—a

"We're not attending any event," Vera said."Then why do I need to get changed?" Cassian was a little confused."I want you to dance with me," Vera said."Did I hear that right, Vera? You want me to dance with you?""You heard right. Dance with me."Cassian eyed Vera strangely, silently wondering if there was something wrong with her.Why would they dance in the middle of the night?Besides, it was just the two of them at home. Even if they were going to dance, was there really any need to make it seem like some kind of formal dance, with the showering and the changing of clothes?Looking at Cassian, Vera said solemnly, "I want you to dance with me. Is that okay with you?"In an instant, the situation dawned on him.People liked adding a sense of occasion to their lives. He figured she was probably doing this for that reason, too, so he agreed to it."Wait for me. I'll shower and get changed."Sure enough, she beamed once he said that.Cassian rushed into the bathroom at t

"So, what exactly are you calling me about this late? Get to the point. I'm really busy," Cassian said, hurrying Anthony along."I'm calling you about something urgent," Anthony said, his tone suddenly turning serious. "Can you talk right now?"Oh? Was there actually something Anthony needed to discuss with him?After gesturing to Vera, Cassian walked out to the living room and said, "You can talk now.""Have you heard of the Shadow Aegis before, Cassian?"Cassian replied, "Not only have I heard of them before, but I've also run into a couple of them before. But I don't know much about just what they are.""Then let me briefly explain the origins of the Shadow Aegis," Anthony said."Affiliated with the military, it's a mysterious and extremely powerful special operations unit. Their existence is primarily to defend the country, safeguard territorial security, and maintain social stability."The founder and supreme commander of the Shadow Aegis is Jonah Sinclair, whom we all kno

Cassian was quite familiar with Rivershire, so he kept an eye on the route as the car sped down the roads. They took a few turns along the main roads of the city before heading southeast.Were they heading to the Rivershire Military Base?Cassian made his guess in silence.15 minutes later, he was proven correct. The Jeep stopped in front of a gate guarded by two armed soldiers.Straightening up, Cassian looked out curiously.One of the soldiers stepped forward and carefully checked Frank's credentials before allowing the vehicle to enter the compound. They drove down a straight road for three minutes before making a turn, arriving in front of a solemn-looking building."We're here," Frank said before getting out of the car, with Cassian following suit.The moment his feet touched the ground, Cassian keenly sensed several people secretly scanning him in the shadows. He picked up on their presence and could tell they were powerful. Two of them were no weaker than Tigrine-ranked e
