The sword slid back into its sheath with a loud clang, and Isolde left the room.Only after the room fell completely silent did Cassian open his eyes. He couldn't resist grumbling, "The nerve of that woman to just walk out of here and act as if nothing happened!"Never meet again? Hah! What does that even mean? Is she refusing to take responsibility after sleeping with me? She can forget about that! I hereby declare that, from this moment onward, Isolde Wynteris is my mistress!"Cassian got up from the floor. He was just about to leave when he heard a set of footsteps approaching from outside."Did Isolde feel a twinge of conscience? Did she come back because she realized she couldn't bear to leave me?"Cassian hurriedly lay back down and closed his eyes, acting as if he hadn't woken up.After a while, the door opened. As the light footsteps got nearer, he grew a little nervous. What if the aphrodisiac hadn't been completely cleared from Isolde's body yet? What if she was back fo

Cassian scoffed. As if he'd waste his time guessing!"Just what is the reward?" he pressed.However, Felix chose to keep the suspense going. "What's the rush? You'll find out once we get to the military base."Cassian pursed his lips, deciding not to ask any further since Felix was clearly not going to tell him.Half an hour later, they arrived at the Rivershire Military Base. Felix led Cassian to the conference room where Lincoln, Levi, and Diego were all waiting for him. This time, they were dressed in full uniform.At the same time, Cassian noticed that the conference room was decorated pretty lavishly, with red flowers adorning the table as well."Attention!

Levi's booming voice sounded.Once the three generals got up from their chairs, he said, "Let us salute him!"Lincoln, Levi, Diego, and even Felix stood at attention to give Cassian a military salute. Feeling a little flustered, he quickly said, "That's too

Cassian's eyes widened in alarm as he hastily cried out, "I never said I wanted to join the Shadow Aegis!""What you read out was the oath of the Shadow Aegis. Once you've recited it, it means you've voluntarily agreed to join the Shadow Aegis," Levi said."But I didn't make an oath!""You recited the oath just now, did you not?" Levi said with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes."That counts?""Certainly."Cassian wanted to curse. At last, he realized that Levi had tricked him.No, it wasn't just Levi. Jonah was probably in on it as well. After all, Jonah was the commander of the Shadow Aegis. He had to be the one who made this decision. Levi was simply carrying out his orders.Cassian felt pretty miffed. This was no reward. This was a blatant attempt to get him to continue working for the Shadow Aegis.Did they think he was a fool? He wasn't a toddler who'd fall for such tricks so easily!With that in mind, he asked, "General Wright, it's not too late for me to leave the Sha
