She looked at Elmer. “And when Elmer came back from the Shawa family and mentioned Cassian got roughed up

Elmer nodded like crazy, his eyes lighting up like fireworks. “Yeah, that’s the one!

“Cassian got beaten so badly, he was bedridden for three days. The Shown famdy was losing their minder

Elmer finally connected the dots.

He stared wide-eyed at Clive, then glanced at Rafe and Lioren, before locking his gaze back on Clive his eyes thing w pure hero worship.

He blurted out, “So… the last time Cassian got knocked out and ended up with some minor scars, that was yeux Cl

Clive didn’t say a word, but the corners of his mouth curled into a cold, hard/smile.

Elmer sucked in a breath. “That whole thing had me laughing to myself for a long time

He scooted up to Clive, eyes sparkling. “Clive, next time something like that goes down, can you bring me song

‘I’ve wanted to punch Cassian for so long!”

Clive looked at Elmer, who was practically bouncing with excitement. “Didn’t you already rough him up in the

Elmer scratched his head, his eyes gleaming with mischief, looking just like a sly little puppy. That was just a mach couldn’t really go all out. What I mean is, I want to beat him up like you did.”

After he finished, Elmer clenched his fists and punched the air for emphasis.

Lioren’s cat ears quivered ever so slightly.

He looked at Clive, something complicated flashing in his amber eyes.

This was the man who’d fought side by side with him through countless life-and-death battles, whol fatal blow at the edge of the wetlands, and who’d never once backed down when they were warmed Beast.

Someone like him would never destroy the Blackflame Trading Guill he built with his own

No way he was the one secretly working with the elders from the Frostveil Planet to angg

Boss Clive of the Blackflame Trading Guild, real name Clive Blackthorne, born on the Planet Ashen III orphan built the Luild from nothing and turned it into a dark web empire

“Most of the beastfolk in the Guild are orphans from the Planet Achen-III. just like you. You gave them hope to curvive and a future to look forward to.

Rafe looked at Clive, a hint of admiration in his blue eyes. “You hid it really well

“If you hadn’t used the Guild’s internal network to deploy those construction robots, it might’ve taken me a lot jongenito figure it out.”

Clive’s eyes narrowed. “You investigated me?”

Just professional habit,” Rafe replied with a smile, completely unapologetic. “When you join a new family in only polite in get to know everyone’s background.

By the way, you might want to upgrade your internal firewall.”

The air went quiet for a moment.

Elmer let out a quick snicker.

Lioren leaned against the rock wall, his cat ears quivering. “No wonder.”

No wonder what?” Elmer blinked, still not getting it.

Lioren didn’t answer, just looked at Clive, his tail swaying lazily behind him. “I looked into those rumors about br Blackflame Trading Guild smuggling crystal ore, too.

Three months ago, a secret envoy from the Frostveil elders did reach out to your people, but the deal tell through you turned them down.”

Clive’s eyes narrowed. “You know quite a bit.”

Same to you,” Lioren replied, a rare half-smile on his face as his cat ears twitched in sanslation Wellad nother time.

But right now, I can say for sure, you’d never smuggle crystal ore just for your own gai

Dora squeezed his hand. “Totkay, we’ll take these injured squads and leave the training zone as planned.

Then we’ll report the situation in Zone 32 to the stationed military”

She was referring to the adventure teams they had just rescued.

Those females and their beast mates were resting not far away, their gazes toward Dora and the others filled with gratitiale and lingering fear.

Clive’s eyes shifted slightly as he held her hand in return.

Dora suddenly stopped, something crossing her mind. “The Shawn family.”

Rafe raised an eyebrow at her. “Are you thinking of reporting Cassian?”

‘No,” Dora shook her head. “We don’t have enough evidence to report him right now.

They were wearing Blackflame Trading Guild uniforms and left the Guild’s insignia behind.

With Kael’s pull in the military, this could totally backfire on us, and they might even turn the tables and accuse us instead.

Clive’s gaze grew serious. “So you’re saying…”

‘We’ll hold off for now,” Dora said, making sure every word was clear. “Knowing it’s the Shawn family’s plot is enough for

now.

They managed to cause such a mess in Zone 32.

‘Letting loose packs of Advanced mutated alien beasts from the restricted area, kidnapping female squads above Level 3 and pinning it all on the Blackflame Trading Guild, just Kaeland Cassian alone couldn’t pull this off

Lioren’s cat ears perked up. “There’s someone else working behind the scenes.”

His tail swayed, amber eyes dark and thoughtful. “And whoever it is, they’re probably mixed up in the real Frostig smuggling case.”

Elmer scratched his head. “So we’re just gonna act like we don’t know anything?”

‘Exactly,” Dora nodded. “We’ll hold off for now.

Let them slip up on their own, and wait for whoever’s pulling the strings to show theuselves

Rafe’s blue eyes flashed with approval. “I agree.

“No need to rush for a quick win, It’s be patient and wait for the big fish behind the scenes to bite

Elmer scratched his head. I don’t really get it but Ill go with whatever Dora says!

Dora couldn’t help but laugh, clapped her hands, and stood up Tet’s go!

“First, let’s get these beastfolk squads out of here safely, then we’ll see what else Cassian has up his devve

the same time-deep in the heart of Zone 32, Cassian looked like he’d swallowed a lemon.

None of the seven he’d sent out had come back.

All their comms were completely cut off, and every single life signal had disappeared.

The last coordinates they sent came from deep within the dense forest.

Now, all that remained were the chaotic aftermath of battle and a few pools of dried blood.

“They’re all dead,” Ray said quietly, his voice shaky.

“Seven people, even the elite your father sent, they’re all dead.”

Wendy’s face went ghostly pale.

She clung to Cassian’s arm, her nails digging into his flesh. “How… how could this happen?

“Weren’t they all supposed to be Level 5 or above supernatural ability users?”

“Level 6 mutated alien beasts are all over the place,” Cassian said coldly, shaking off her hand. “There are far more mutated alien beasts in the restricted area than we expected.

“Those guys must’ve been unlucky and got caught in a beast tide.”

Cassian took a deep breath and stared out at the sky beyond the camp, watching as night started to settle in.

Just then, Jonathan rushed in from outside, his face grim. “Cassian, we can’t wait any longer.

“The people we sent out have all gone silent. Now it’s just Ray, me, and Wendy’s Level 4 beast mate left.

“Our crystal energy reserves are running low, and with so few people left, finding the ore vein is out of the question t tough just getting out of Zone 32.”

Cassian gritted his teeth, his fingers clenched so tightly his knuckles popped.

The crystal ore vein was still missing, the rare mutated blueberry tree hadn’t been recovered, and his father se only halfway done, all he’d managed was faking the kidnapping.

“We can’t give up!” Cassian said firmly, making his decision. “We’ll hunt down that ore vein ourselves

“What?!” Wendy cried out, “Go out there now? The place is swarming with advanced mutated aben basis

“So you’d rather just stay here and wait for death?” Cassian glared at her icily.

“None of the people we sent out came back, and we’ve already kidnapped so many adventure teams

“Sooner or later, the military or some other squad is going to notice the suspicious activity at our hass

“Instead of just sitting here waiting to dhe, we might as well risk it all

Wendy’s lips quivered, but she was too shaken to say anything in returny

Half an hour later, Cassian, Wendy, Ray Jonathan, the Last of Kael’s trusted men, and Wendy soiber devil 4 beast mate ser out from the camp.

Following the map, they headed southeast toward the suspected ore vein area

They hadn’t gone far before their nightmare truly began.

Five Level 5 Ironclad Rhinos same barreling out of nowhere smashing through the underbrush in a wild charge

With their crystal energy reserves nearly depleted, Ray and Jonathan risked everything to protect Cassian and Wendy The managed to slaughter three of the beasts, but the other two escaped.
