Chapter 496 Ashley Jones
Chapter 496 Ashley Jones
Raven wondered how someone who appeared so cold and unapproachable could be so shameless.
George seemed to sense her gaze. He turned his head and met her eyes. In those icy, clear eyes, there was an unexpected trace of innocence.
Raven said, “Get out.”
George sighed, his expression growing heavier with sadness.
He said, “I’m here to help you. What do I have to do to make you trust me?”
After saying that, he watched Raven nervously, as if afraid she might snap at him.
He hated seeing Raven leave again.
Raven frowned even more deeply at his words. “You’re here to help me? Why would you help me for no reason? What do you want?”
“I’m being completely upfront with you there’s a reason I can’t share everything just yet. It’s understandable if you need time to trust me, but please know this: I will never hurt you. No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you.”
Raven froze for a moment.
His words resonated deeply, as though she had heard them verbatim years before.
As she strained to recall where she’d heard those words, a sharp pain pierced her temples, obliterating her thoughts.
The fleeing Nightwatchers Pack members, along with defectors from the Sirius Pack, retreated in disarray to their Sakura City branch.
The two minor leaders of the group had originally been Scarface and Hooknose.
Now, with Scarface killed by George, Hooknose led the defected Sirius Pack members to stand before a woman.
The woman appeared to be in her late twenties, with striking features and a figure that was further accentuated by a fitted, multicolored dress that clung to her curves.
This was none other than Ashley Jones, the leader of the Nightwatchers Pack, the world’s second most powerful faction.
Hooknose said, “Boss, these individuals were loyal to Raven. They formed the core of the Sirius Pack and possess extensive knowledge about the Vyrdenia Military. They wish to offer you their allegiance.”
On the way here, Hooknose had already explained to Ashley what had happened at the warehouse near the shooting range. Fearing she’d hold him responsible for the incident, he quickly emphasized the value of the Sirius Pack members, hoping to redeem himself.
However, Ashley suddenly hurled the cup in her hand, shattering it at Hooknose’s feet.
She snapped, “Useless down?”
Didn’t I tell you to block the signals? How did Raven and her people still manage to track us
Ashley’s sharp brows furrowed, and the murderous intent in her eyes made everyone in the room shiver.
“Boss, it was my mistake! I swear it won’t happen again!” Hooknose quickly promised.
Seeing that Hooknose didn’t try to make excuses, Ashley’s icy demeanor softened slightly. She then asked, “What about the man in white? Have you figured out who he is?”
Hooknose hesitated, his voice faltering. “Not yet, Boss. Based on our previous investigation, there’s no record of anyone like him around Raven.
“If he’s been by Raven’s side all this time, there’s no way our people wouldn’t have noticed him. Dressed in white and carrying himself with such striking presence, he’s impossible to miss.”
Just as Hooknose finished speaking, the door swung open, and a man strode in
The man immediately latched onto the conversation, his tone sharp. “White attire and striking presence, you say?”
“Exactly!” Hooknose man nodded eagerly.
Ashley turned her gaze to the man who had just entered. “Do you know him?”
Ashley frowned, her voice tinged with irritation. “Chief Macy, the information you gave me didn’t mention anyone like this.”
The man who had entered was Benson Macy, the Successfully unlocked! of Vyrdenia who had defected to the Sunset
Empire.
When Benson learned that Raven had killed Lola, he immediately reached out to Ashley, who owed her life to Lola, and managed to forge an alliance with her.
On that note, Benson was quick to take credit for the Nightwatchers Pack capturing members of the Sirius Pack.

After all, without the intelligence he provided, Ashley wouldn’t have known that Raven was part of the Vyrdenia Military, let alone captured Randolph and the other Sirius Pack members with such precision.
“I don’t know this man in white,” Benson admitted, his tone faced with frustration. “But Thorlan just called me. He said Hugmuinn’s brother was rescued by a man in white.
“His description matches what you’ve said–white attire, extraordinary presence. And he’s also looking for Raven.
“I sent my men to capture him, but we were a step too late. He slipped away
Benson’s jaw clenched tightly as he said, “I’ll hunt that guy down and rip him apart
