The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457 Illegitimate Son?

“I found him,” Raven nodded. “But I’ve lost contact with him again recently. I’m also trying to track hirn down.”

Saxon paused, startled. “You mean… Cassian’s gone missing too?”

“You could say that,” Raven replied, casting him a strange look.

Something about Saxon was seriously off today.

He’d just been fretting over Benedict’s safety, and now he was suddenly shifting gears to ask about Cassian? The switch was too quick. Something wasn’t right.

“What matters now is finding Benedict,” Saxon said, as his phone started ringing. “If you hear anything, you have to let me know.”

He glanced at the caller ID, gestured apologetically to Raven, and stepped aside to answer it.

Just then, two of Saxon’s men entered. “Miss Valor.”

They didn’t know exactly who Raven was, but judging by the way their boss treated her–with such familiarity and respect- they dared not show the slightest rudeness.

Raven gave them a curt nod. “Any news?”

The two men exchanged uneasy glances. One finally said, “We’re sorry… the surveillance system was down. We still don’t know which exit young Mr. Valor used.”

“Young Mr. Valor?” Raven’s brow arched. A suspicion crept into her mind, but she didn’t let it show. “Does he often sneak off like that?”

“No,” one of the men replied quickly. “He usually sticks close to the boss. He’s never wandered off on his own before. But ever since we got to Broson City, he’s been running off a lot.”

Raven’s eyes narrowed. “You mean you all came to Broson City together? He was with Saxon this whole time?”

“Yes, ma’am,” the man confirmed.

As she watched them nod, Raven’s expression grew even colder. ‘What exactly is the relationship between Benedict and Saxon?‘

She had already noticed that Saxon acted oddly toward Benedict, but she’d never connected the dots until now. Thinking about it carefully… Benedict did resemble Saxon in certain features. And they both had the last name Valor. Now Saxon’s men were calling Benedict young Mr. Valor.

“Miss Valor?” the two men faltered when they saw the sudden change in her expression.

They were just about to explain that Benedict was Saxon’s nephew when Saxon came rushing back in, still holding his phone.

“Raven, I’ve found Benedict’s location.”

But Raven didn’t even flinch at the news. Instead, she frowned and asked, “Saxon, tell me the truth. What’s your real relationship with Benedict?”

Saxon froze. A visible flicker of panic crossed his face.

He had no idea how much Raven knew. Feeling cornered, he attempted to play dumb. “What relationship? I have nothing to do with that kid. Wasn’t I just helping you find his birth parents?”

“You’re still lying to me?” Raven’s voice turned sharp. Her frustration boiled over. “Your men already told me–Benedict has been with you this entire time. You brought him to Broson City yourself.”
