Chapter 95: A Favor Too Heavy

Cassian smiled and excused himself.

Zora looked at him for a moment, her eyes carrying that same quiet suspicion she had been holding since morning, but she did not stop him.

She only gave a small nod and stepped closer to the car, allowing him the space Damian had requested. Miranda, who was not too far away, also noticed the movement, her gaze lingering briefly before she turned away with practiced calm.

Around them, guests continued leaving the auction house i

    Chapter 162: Yes or NoThe atmosphere inside the villa changed the moment Cassian finished speaking.A few seconds earlier, the Andreason family had still been staring at him as though a dead man had walked back into their lives. Now his words finally pulled them out of that shock. The family head swallowed and forced himself to regain some composure, though the tension across his face did not disappear.“What exactly do you want?”Cassian looked at him and smiled.“Nothing complicated.”That answer did not reassure anyone.The young man who had brought Cassian here remained a short distance away, watching everything with open curiosity now. He had already accepted that there was far more history between Cassian and this family than Asher had bothered telling him, but seeing the entire Andreason household react this way was another matter entirely.Cassian glanced around the room before walking toward one of the empty seats. He sat down casually, crossing one leg over the other as tho

    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

    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 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 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
