Chapter 648

As the towering figure of Cassius stood, fim as an oak, Chasel knew he’d recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes

Chase’s blood pumped furiously, concentrating in his trembling heart as he gripped the balcony railing, his body leaning out as if he were about to leap.

Such a remarkable presence, the magnetic pull straight to his heart it could be no one else but Cassius.

“Cassius! Cassius” Chasel’s voice tore through the air in a desperate shout.

But alas, the distance was too great. A gust of wind picked up, and with Chasel already weakened from serious injuries, his feeble cries were swept away before they could reach Cassius.

“Cassius! Are you deaf?! Look back! I’m right behind you.”

His last words fractured into a hoarse whisper, barely audible.

Chasel watched, eyes wide, as Cassius got into a black sports car that roared to life and disappeared into the night.

“Bastard! Why couldn’t you just wait a little longer for me?!”

As if his soul had been drained, Chase slumped to the ground, gasping for air as tears streamed down his face, “Cassius, why couldn’t you wait, let me go with you.”
