Chapter 152: Wipe Them OutThe woman was already sitting inside when Cassian entered.There were no chains around her wrists or ankles, no bruises from interrogation and no signs that anyone had mistreated her since Asher’s people brought her in. In fact, apart from the fact that the door was locked and she was not allowed to leave, she had been treated surprisingly well. Food was provided whenever she wanted it, she had somewhere comfortable to sleep, and whatever basic necessities she requested were given to her.Asher had followed Cassian’s earlier instructions perfectly.Keep her there.Do not let her escape.Everything else could remain civil.The assassin lifted her head when the door opened, and the moment she saw Cassian, her expression changed.“You...”The word barely left her mouth.Cassian looked at her.That was all.His aura spread through the room without warning.It was not loud or dramatic, but the pressure that settled over her was enough to make the rest of the sent

Chapter 153: Bigger Than BusinessCassian left Asher’s place and headed straight home.By the time he returned, the house was quiet and Zora was still asleep upstairs. He checked on her first, found her sleeping properly, then left her alone and went downstairs. There was no reason to wake her when she clearly needed the rest, so he headed into the kitchen and began preparing something for them to eat.Cooking for Zora was hardly new at this point. He had done it before, enough times that there was nothing unusual about him moving around the kitchen while she slept upstairs.By the time the food was almost ready, he heard footsteps coming down.Zora appeared a short while later, looking far better than she had when she fell asleep. The fear and strain from earlier were no longer sitting openly on her face, but she was still quieter than usual. She stopped near the kitchen for a moment, watching Cassian finish what he was doing before walking over.“You’re awake,” he said.“Obviously.”

Chapter 154: Come Over ImmediatelyThe moment Zora entered her room, she closed the door behind her and began pacing.Cassian’s words had followed her upstairs.Who benefits if you disappear completely?What have you done recently that might have threatened something bigger than you realized?She understood what he had been trying to do downstairs. He had not given her an answer because he wanted her to think through everything herself, and unfortunately, the more she did, the more her thoughts kept returning to the same person.Her stepmother.Zora walked toward the window, stopped there for a few seconds, then turned around again. She had no evidence. That was the frustrating part. Suspicion was not enough, especially when she was dealing with something as serious as attempted murder, and she knew better than to accuse someone simply because she disliked them.But she also knew that woman.Her stepmother had wanted control of the company for a long time. Her father had repeatedly fa

Chapter 155: The Name From Five Years AgoCassian frowned slightly at Miranda’s tone.There was no irritation in her voice,or impatient demand or sarcastic complaint. She sounded completely serious, which was enough to tell him whatever she had found was not something she wanted to discuss over the phone.“I’m coming,” he said, then glanced toward the clinic entrance before asking, “Where are you?”“My family’s house.”Cassian’s brows lifted slightly. “You’re home?”“Yes. Just come.”She ended the call before he could say anything else.Cassian stared at his phone for a moment, then slipped it back into his pocket. He had only just reached the clinic, but from the way Miranda sounded, going inside could wait. He started the car again and pulled away from the curb.The drive to the Ravencroft residence did not take very long.By the time Cassian arrived, Miranda was already waiting for him. She stood near the entrance with her arms folded, and even from a distance, he could tell she ha

Chapter 156: My MotherCassian remained quiet after Miranda said the name Shadow Viper.For a few seconds, he simply stood there, his expression calm enough that anyone who did not know him would have assumed the information meant very little. Inside, however, the pieces were no longer scattered the way they had been before.Five years ago, Evelyn Ashbourne’s name had been circulated across the assassin world.Most organizations had refused the mission.Shadow Viper had accepted it.And now, five years later, Shadow Viper had somehow appeared around Zora as well.Cassian did not believe in meaningless coincidences, especially not when the same organization kept appearing around people close to him.He exhaled quietly and looked at Miranda. “Continue.”She had been watching him ever since she mentioned Evelyn’s name, still bothered by the strange reaction he had tried to hide. There was clearly something personal here, but Cassian was giving her nothing, so she pushed her curiosity asi

Chapter 157: The FootageMiranda remained where Cassian had left her long after he disappeared from sight.My mother.Those two words kept replaying in her head.For the first time, several things about Cassian suddenly made sense. His strange interest in what the distant branches of the Ravencroft family had done five years ago. The way he had pushed her to investigate every little detail, even things she thought were useless. His reaction when she mentioned Evelyn Ashbourne’s name, and especially the coldness that had appeared in his eyes before he covered it up.It had never been simple curiosity.The woman whose assassination her relatives had helped arrange was his mother.Miranda slowly exhaled and walked back toward the house, but her mind remained elsewhere. She had wondered more than once why Cassian seemed so determined to drag those hidden dealings into the light and why there was something almost personal in the way he spoke whenever those relatives came up.Now she knew.

Chapter 158
Chapter 158: To the CapitalCassian headed straight home with the flash drive still in his pocket. He didn’t touch it during the drive, nor did he bother imagining what he was about to see. He had avoided the footage for five years because he knew exactly what it represented, and there was no point torturing himself with guesses now that he had finally decided to face it.When he got home, the house was quiet. Cassian went upstairs, entered his room and locked the door behind him before pulling out the flash drive. He looked at it for a moment, then inserted it into his laptop. Several files appeared on the screen, all arranged by time and location. Asher had kept everything exactly the way it had been gathered years ago.Cassian clicked the first file.The room remained silent apart from the sound coming from the laptop as he watched. He didn’t skip anything or look away when the footage became harder to sit through. One recording ended and he opened another, then another, his expres

Chapter 159: The Andreason VillaHours later, Cassian finally arrived in the capital.The flight itself had been uneventful, which suited him just fine. He had spent most of it sitting quietly, going over the footage again in his head without actually replaying it. There was no need. Certain images had already settled far too clearly in his memory, and the only thing that mattered now was finding out exactly what the Andreason Family had to do with what happened five years ago.By the time he stepped out of the airport, the city was already busy. Cars moved constantly along the pickup area, people dragged luggage behind them, and drivers called out to passengers from different directions. Cassian ignored most of it and walked toward the taxi stand, already deciding he would simply get a cab and head directly to the Andreason residence.He had just opened the door of one when another vehicle pulled up nearby.A young man stepped out almost immediately.He looked to be somewhere in his

Chapter 160
Chapter 160: An Unexpected GuestThe car stopped outside the Andreason villa, and Cassian stepped out with the young man who had picked him up from the airport.Up close, the scale of the celebration was even more obvious. Expensive cars lined the long driveway, flowers and decorations covered the entrance, and guests were still moving between the main villa and the large reception area prepared on the property. Security was everywhere, but with so many important guests coming and going, no one looked particularly out of place as long as they had an invitation.Cassian had none.Fortunately, the man beside him did.He casually pulled out an invitation card when they reached the entrance, and after one of the guards checked it, they were allowed through without any problem. Cassian glanced at him as they continued walking.“You came prepared.”The young man shrugged. “Chairman Asher told me to make sure you got where you wanted to go. Turning up at a wedding without a way inside would

Chapter 161: The Man Has ReturnedThe young man standing beside Cassian looked from the man on the floor to Cassian, then back again.For the first time since picking him up at the airport, genuine confusion appeared on his face.He had already known Cassian was not ordinary. That much had been obvious from the beginning. Chairman Asher had personally arranged his flight, transportation and access into the Andreason estate, and more importantly, Asher had spoken about Cassian in a way that made it clear the relationship between them was not normal. The young man had worked around powerful people long enough to recognize when someone carried influence far beyond what they showed openly.Still, he had assumed that influence belonged mostly to Asher.Now he was no longer so sure.The man who had just collapsed was a member of the Andreason Family, and judging by his reaction, he did not simply recognize Cassian. He looked terrified of him.Cassian, meanwhile, seemed completely unbothered
