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
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. The
Chapter 169
Chapter 169: Another Trip After Damien left, the room became quieter. Asher remained seated for a while, watching the closed door before eventually turning back to Cassian. There was concern in his expression now, the kind he rarely showed openly unless the matter involved Cassian himself. “Are you sure about this?” Cassian glanced at him. “About taking Damien?” “About all of it.” That made Cassian smile faintly. Asher had known him long enough to understand what this trip really meant. Serenity City was only the first step. Shadow Viper had accepted the assassination order on Evelyn five years ago, and Cassian was no longer interested in leaving that matter buried simply because time had passed. Cassian leaned back and rested one arm against the sofa. “Five years ago, I could have gone after everyone involved.” “I know.” “But I didn’t.” Asher said nothing. Cassian’s expression became quieter. “My mother never wanted me spending my life chasing blood for her.
Chapter 168
Chapter 168: Serenity CityHearing that Asher had already traced Shadow Viper’s base, Cassian smiled.“Where?”Asher did not answer immediately. He leaned back slightly, his expression turning more serious. “I should correct myself first. I found where they’re operating from, but I don’t have their exact base location yet.”Cassian raised a brow but did not seem disappointed.Asher continued, “What I can confirm is that they’re in Vardonia. More specifically, Serenity City.”Damien, who had remained quiet since the meeting began, frowned slightly at the name. Serenity City sounded peaceful enough, but somehow hearing it connected to an assassin organization made the name feel almost sarcastic.Cassian’s expression, on the other hand, brightened.“Serenity City?”“Yes.” Asher nodded. “Their movements keep circling back there. People disappear into the city after certain missions, money connected to their network gets routed through businesses there, and several of the names we traced h
Chapter 167
Chapter 167: Already FoundThe next morning came quickly, and Cassian returned to the city without staying in the capital any longer than necessary. He had gone there for answers, gotten more than he expected, and now had another trail leading toward the Black Wind Sect. That matter could wait a little. There were things much closer to home that needed to be handled first.When he stepped out of the airport, he spotted Zora waiting for him near the pickup area.Cassian smiled as he walked over. “Wifey came personally?”Zora took one look at him and held out her hand. “Your bag.”“That’s not the welcome I expected.”“What were you expecting? A banner?”“A hug would have been acceptable.”She gave him a flat look, took the small travel bag from him anyway and turned toward the car. “Keep walking before I regret coming.”Cassian laughed and followed.He had not carried much to begin with, so within minutes they were already on the road. Zora drove this time, occasionally glancing toward
