Chapter 175
Chapter 175: TonightBy the following morning, the girl had narrowed the search down considerably.She arrived at breakfast with the same small notebook from the day before, but this time there was a rough sketch folded between the pages. Cassian noticed immediately that she looked more serious than excited now. Whatever she had found overnight had given her enough confidence to stop treating the whole thing like an adventure.She sat down, opened the notebook and pushed it toward both men.“I think I found the place.”Damien set down his cup.Cassian only smiled. “That was quick.”“I told you I could do it.”“Show me.”She unfolded the sketch over the table. It was not professionally drawn, but it was clear enough to understand. Three warehouse buildings sat across the eastern edge of the area she had mentioned the night before, with roads, walls and nearby structures marked around them.“My contact has been doing business near this part of the city for more than a year,” she explain
Chapter 174
Chapter 174: The Eastern EdgeThe girl moved fast, and Cassian appreciated that.By the same afternoon, she had already started making quiet calls through her family’s local business contacts. She did not ask anyone directly about assassins, hidden organizations or suspicious compounds. Instead, she framed everything around security concerns, private property and areas that might be unsafe for someone unfamiliar with Serenity City.It was simple enough to sound harmless.A billionaire’s daughter asking which parts of the city she should avoid did not look strange. If anything, most people she contacted seemed more interested in warning her away from troublesome places than wondering why she was asking in the first place.Cassian spent most of the afternoon at the hotel, leaving the work to her without interfering. Damien remained around as well, though he checked the area outside more than once out of habit. Neither man tried to follow the girl or control who she contacted. If Cassian
Chapter 173
Chapter 173: A Useful CoverThe girl’s eyes lit up the moment Cassian finished speaking. It was the kind of excitement that came from someone who had spent too long being told to sit still, stay out of trouble and let other people handle anything remotely dangerous.“I’m interested.”She leaned forward across the table as if she was already prepared to leave that very second.Cassian smiled. “That was fast.”“You said we’re purging evil. Why would I say no?”Damien glanced at her but kept quiet. From the way she was smiling, it was obvious she still thought this sounded more exciting than dangerous.Cassian did not waste time dressing it up.“There’s an assassin group operating somewhere in Serenity City. We know they’re here, but we don’t know the exact location of their base.”The girl’s expression changed slightly at the word assassin, but not enough to make her back down.“So you want me to help you find them?”“Exactly.”Cassian rested one arm against the table. “You’re local, yo
Chapter 172
Chapter 172: Purging EvilThe girl laughed the moment Cassian asked whether her strength was the reason her family had not come chasing after her.“You got it.”Cassian looked at her for a second, then chuckled and leaned back in his seat without saying anything else.So that was what she believed.Because she had reached the Grandmaster realm and was stronger than most people her age, she thought her family had simply decided there was no need to worry about her. Cassian found the logic almost impressive in its innocence. A billionaire’s daughter had run away from home, boarded a train alone, openly told two strangers exactly who she was, then proudly announced that she was strong enough to handle whatever happened.And somehow she still believed the fact that nobody had dragged her home yet meant they had given up.Cassian glanced toward the window so she would not catch the amusement on his face.This little girl was truly naive.Still, it was none of his business. Whatever arrange

Chapter 171: GrandmasterThe girl stared at Cassian for half a second before bursting into laughter.“Kidnap me?”Cassian leaned back comfortably, watching her amusement with a faint smile. “That was the question.”“You two wouldn’t do that.”Her answer came with so much confidence that Damien finally looked away from the passing scenery and gave her his full attention.Cassian raised a brow. “You trust strangers very quickly.”“It’s not trust.”“Then what is it?”The girl smiled and folded her arms. “Even if you wanted to kidnap me, you don’t have the strength.”That made Cassian pause.Beside him, Damien’s expression became strange.Cassian looked at the girl again, then slowly smiled. “You’re very confident.”“I have a reason to be.”“Do you?”She nodded without hesitation.Cassian glanced around the first-class carriage before returning his attention to her. There were only a handful of passengers nearby, most of them occupied with their own business. No intimidating guards hovere

Chapter 170: The Runaway HeiressThe next day came quickly, and by the time most people were only beginning their morning, Cassian and Damien were already at the private airport.Asher had arranged everything in advance, so there was little for either of them to do besides board. Damien had packed light, exactly as Cassian advised, though judging from the way he carried himself, he had still brought enough to deal with whatever waited for them in Vardonia. Cassian, on the other hand, looked as though he were leaving for an ordinary trip rather than heading toward the base of an assassin organization that had once accepted the order on his mother.Damien noticed the difference and shook his head.“You really don’t look worried.”Cassian glanced at him as they settled into their seats. “Would looking worried make the flight shorter?”“No.”“Then there’s no point.”That answer was exactly what Damien expected, so he let the matter go.The flight to Vardonia lasted almost seven hours.
