Chapter 296: Assassin Cassadine
The silence of dawn is broken by the crowing of roosters, and the rising sun emits a dazzling light that illuminates the entire land and dispels the darkness of the night.
When the townspeople return to the park, the eerie horn in the center is gone, replaced by four sleeping children lying on their backs.
"That's not ...... Lord Cassadine's daughter? A gardener who had come to the park early in the morning to trim the flowers recognized one of the children.
"And the youngest son of Mrs. Jesta's family......"
As time went on, more and more people came to the park.
"What the hell happened last night?" The gardener picked up one of the skinniest children and studied his face for a moment.
"Kaisha!"
At this time, Cassadine also heard about his daughter, and rushed from the house with a roar.
"Kaisha...... How could it be...... This ......" It was the first time for the crowd on the side to see Cassadine show such an expression, and they all watched silently.
Cassadine is a well-known figure in the town...... Although he is now just an ordinary lumberjack, in his youth he was a legendary hunter in the village and is said to have hunted a pack of wolves alone...... It can be seen that its hunting skills are superb and its strength is strong.
This early experience did not fade with time after his retirement, but was adapted and praised by the adults of the town to educate their children.
But such a former legendary hunter, at this time he is sad like an old father.
……
"Doctor, my daughter...... How's my daughter doing? In the waiting room of the best hospital in town, Cassadine pestered the attending doctor and kept asking.
"Mr. Cassadine, please calm down...... Your daughter ......" The doctor frowned, not disgusted by Cassadine's behavior, but melancholy at the condition.
"Could it be ......" Cassadine's eyes suddenly darkened a lot.
After retiring, he was not young, found a wife, and the two lived for two years to get such a daughter.
"It's not that there is no cure." At this time, a sexy woman in a white lab coat walked into the room...... It was Mrs. Jesta.
"Dean?" The attending doctor bowed respectfully to Mrs. Jesta and left the room with great self-awareness.
"You ......," Cassadine looked at Mrs. Jesta with a look of vicissitudes, and the fact that his daughter was like this was a great blow to him.
"My son was killed too...... Mrs. Jesta said straight to the point.
"That's really unfortunate...... Cassadine said with a blank face.
"I know the cure...... It is possible to save your daughter. Mrs. Jesta narrowed her eyes, glanced at Cassadine, and said.
Hearing this, Cassadine's eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light.
"But I need your help."
"I'll do you anything! As long as it can cure my daughter......" Cassadine replied without thinking.
"Hmm...... Have you ever heard of the Shurima Empire? Mrs. Jesta observed Cassadine's expression, let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly.
Shurima Empire, that is a name that has been making a lot of noise in recent times, first appeared in the sky a few days in advance of the refuge notice, Shurima Empire is also very famous in history, so his reappearance and revival have certainly attracted the attention of the vast majority of people around the world.
"Some time ago, I went to the battlefield in the west to rescue the wounded soldiers." Mrs. Jesta continued.
"When I went to the SSR barracks, I saw many patients...... They are exactly the same as your daughter's. ”
That is to say...... This was done by Shurima's people? Cassadine's eyes suddenly froze.
But think about it......
Why did such a huge empire sneak into such a small town and poison a few innocent children?
"Maybe it's because of the pair of horns in the park." Mrs. Jesta spoke her mind.
That is to say...... The antidote can only be obtained by going to Shurima? Cassadine's eyes were confused......
After all, his country had only read out the order of resistance to the Shurima Empire a few days ago.
The propaganda of the Vault Project was only a pretext for the Shurima Empire's immigration expansion, and the country resolutely resisted its vile behavior, preferring to resist the Gluttonous Legion alone rather than submit to the Shurima Empire.
It's hard enough to travel to a country in a hostile camp, let alone find an antidote...... According to Mrs. Jesta, the disease is in the form of a biological weapon, which means that the antidote should only be available in the military, or perhaps only in the upper echelons of Shurima......
"I learned a little bit about the geography of the Shurima Empire...... Several suspicious targets have been targeted......" Mrs. Jesta said, seeing Cassadine's concerns.
"The once legendary hunter, with your abilities, infiltrated several mansions and brought the antidote from a few incompetent officials...... It shouldn't be difficult, right? ”
Cassadine fell silent...... Subconsciously looked towards the ward...... Through the crack in the door, the face of his pale daughter caught his eye.
"Leave it to me." Cassadine gritted his teeth and agreed.
Mrs. Jesta smiled...... After all, his son is also a victim, and it is definitely impossible for him as a doctor to complete such a task, and he just happened to meet this former legendary hunter......
"Just in case......" Mrs. Jesta seemed to remember something, and pulled a dagger out of her pocket.
"This is what I picked up from the battlefield...... It seems that there is a magical power that can be used to make people sand as long as they activate him with blood. With a twinkle in her eyes, Mrs. Jesta slowly handed the dagger to Cassadine.
"If you encounter a difficult opponent, simply hand your own blood to the handle of the dagger and turn all the enemies you stab into sand."
Cassadine solemnly took the dagger, put it away, and saluted Mrs. Jesta.
"I'm going to get the job done......"
……
On the first night after Cassadine's departure......
"It's gone." Cassadine's neighbors...... Kazik came to Cassadine's house.
"After all, it's to save our daughter...... Cassadine's wife said as she cooked.
"Alas...... What a good father...... I was suddenly intrigued by what kind of expression he would have if he knew Kai'Sa wasn't his real daughter......" Kazik said as he lay on the couch and laughed.
"Don't say it...... At the beginning, we said that we would keep it secret......" Cassadine's wife brought a bowl of soup, frowned, and said.
Kazik smiled slightly...... Take the soup bowl and drink it all.
Cassadine's wife put away the dishes and chopsticks, returned to the kitchen, and threw a white package into the trash...... Colorless and odorless, three-day onset characteristic poison.
"I'm afraid he's more than lucky this time, how about it? Let's find a day to get things done? Kazik asked, savoring the deliciousness of the soup.
"Let's talk about it...... Wait a while......" Cassadine's wife said casually.
Running errands with you? Hehe...... You're thinking too well......
At this time, the doorbell rang......
Opening the door, a handsome young hunter stood outside...... This is Cassadine's apprentice.
When Cassadine's wife saw him coming, she greeted him with a very bright smile.
"Why did you come so late? Hungry, right? Come, I've made you a roast chicken. ”
"This gap...... Isn't it ......" Kazik narrowed his eyes and frowned.
"I have something to do, so I'll go first." Kazik seemed to think of something, and walked past the two of them out of the house, towards his own house.
Seeing Kazik leave, the young hunter laughed.
"The master shouldn't be able to come back, right? Then let's ...... the two of us."
