Bab 156: Killing intent

Cassandra had been swamped with work these past weeks, her efforts divided between two pressing matters. Half of her burden came from the capture of Pastor Abraham Cornus, a notorious figure whose case had consumed much of her energy. The other half came from the desperate search for Cassian, who had been missing for over a week. She clung to the hope that he had been kidnapped and not killed, though the uncertainty gnawed at her.

Her focus was centered on Surock Village, the place where Cassian had vanished. She combed through the dense jungles surrounding the area, certain that the kidnappers wouldn't risk moving to another village. The neighboring settlements were heavily secured by city guards ever since his disappearance, leaving little chance for escape.
