Chapter 294 Who Are You?
Thora moved quickly, but Draven moved even faster.
The moment Thora’s knife thrust forward, he had already sidestepped.
This was only their second clash, yet both of them fought without restraint.
Afterimages flickered through the jungle, so fast that they were almost impossible to track.

The longer the fight dragged on, the heavier Thora’s heart sank. His combat strength far exceeded her expectations.
Who exactly is he?
At first, she did have a guess about his identity, but the more she interacted with him, the more that guess felt wrong.
That brief lapse in focus was enough for her knife to be knocked from her hand.
Her shoulders were seized tightly. A powerful force lifted her body, spun her through the air, and slammed her hard against a tree trunk.
Draven closed in immediately, stopping just inches from her face.
In that ambiguous yet oppressive position, his tall body completely pinned her in place. The distance between them was so close that their breaths tangled.
This was the first time Thora had ever been fully restrained by someone else. If she had not lost focus just now, she would never have ended up like this.
“Who are you?” she demanded coldly, her breath brushing across Draven’s mask.
The mask concealed his expression, leaving only his thin lips and the surging emotions in his eyes exposed.
“I just told you my name, and you already forgot?” His lips curved slightly, his tone laced with amusement.
“I don’t remember the names of people I don’t care about,” Thora replied with a faint smile. Before her words even finished, a surge of blue energy spread from her wrist and wrapped around Draven’s arm.
Her ability instantly took the form of chains, slithering over his body like serpents. His heart jolted. This is the materialization of an S-rank ability!
Draven’s gaze changed sharply, but the chains had already bound him tightly.
Thora seized the chance to break free and fully reclaim the initiative.
“Your ability is above S-rank,” Draven said calmly, even as the chains tightened around him.
Thora’s ability had indeed reached S-rank. It was the result of reinforcing her mental energy through an energy stone.
After breaking into S-rank, her telekinesis had evolved from controlling physical objects to manipulating

To advance further, she would either need to absorb power from another energy stone of the same type or wait for a trigger that would awaken her latent potential.
Thora did not respond. She went straight to the point. “What is your relationship with Darius Blackwood?”
When she said Darius’s name, Draven’s lips twitched almost imperceptibly. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes before vanishing.
“Darius Blackwood?” He drew out the name, his tone full of interest.
When she first saw Draven, his familiar outline had made Thora suspect he was Darius in disguise.
But that theory had long since been overturned.
His aura, his destructive ability, and the black wolf power surrounding him were entirely different from Darius’s.
Even if his height, build, and profile were uncannily similar to Darius’s, Thora was sure he wasn’t Darius. His arrogance, dominance, and cold tyranny were traits Darius had never possessed.
A person could disguise their face, but not their habits or personality, especially not someone she knew as well as Darius.
The only possibility was that there was some hidden connection between him and Darius.
Thora’s intuition was sharp. Even without Shirley’s natural gift for sensing danger, she could still catch subtle shifts in his emotions.
She poured more mental energy into the chains, tightening them further.
Suddenly, a black energy surged around Draven, his gaze turning razor sharp.
Boom!
The chains Thora had just materialized instantly dissolved into gas and vanished. The restraint was completely undone.
Thora frowned deeply.
So his earlier indifference was because his strength far exceeded hers.
She immediately calculated her chances of winning in an all-out fight.
“He’s dangerous, especially that terrifying ability. This is the first time I’ve felt so unsettled. And his wolf spirit is stronger than me,” Amie said in a low voice within her mind. A hint of frustration was visible in her tone, yet excitement still flickered beneath it.
“Thora, you’re so smart,” Draven said, his voice tinged with mockery. That familiar intimacy sent a jolt through Thora’s heart.
“I didn’t expect you to recognize me even in such a situation.”
