The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455 Benedict Is Missing

“Who I am doesn’t matter.” The gloomy man narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a soft chuckle. “What really matters is this. If the world found out the fearsome Chariot could be so sentimental, what would they think?”

Thorian froze for a split second, and his muscles tensed as the words hit him. Then, in a cold voice, he asked, “What do you mean?”

“Come on, do I really have to spell it out for you?” Unbothered by Thorian’s growinganger, the gloomy man continued, “With your strength and cunning, you could easily carve out your own empire. Why waste your talents serving under someone else?

“The only reason you’re still in Valhalla is because you’re head over heels for Raven, right?”

Thorian’s expression turned icy. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Stop following me!”

“Relax. I’m just trying to help.” The gloomy man smirked. “You’re out here risking your neck for her, but what’s she doing? Chasing after some pretty boy who’s all looks and no substance. Doesn’t that sting, even a little?”

“Who the hell are you?” Thorian’s gaze locked onto the gloomy man. This man knew far too much. If he dared to harm Raven…

Thorian’s mind raced, and a sharp glint of killing intent flickered in his sharp eyes.

The gloomy man seemed to sense it. He smiled faintly. “Sunset Empire’s soldiers are patrolling nearby. You’d better not act recklessly.

“Sure, you could escape, but if you drew the attention of the Sunset Empire’s military, your identity might be exposed. And then, the mission Raven entrusted to you would be ruined.”

Thorian clenched his jaw and slowly withdrew the concealed weapon he had been gripping tightly.

For a moment, he had truly wanted to kill this man.

But as the man had pointed out, Raven’s mission was still incomplete, and his identity couldn’t be revealed yet.

Seeing that, the smile on the gloomy man’s lips deepened, his satisfaction almost palpable.

He pulled a business card from the pocket of his suit and handed it to Thorian.

The card had nothing on it except a phone number.

He said, “Thorian, I can help you get what you truly desire. If the day comes when you change your mind, just call this number.”

The gloomy man took a few steps forward, then stopped abruptly. Turning back to Thorian, he said, “Some opportunities, once missed, are gone forever. You’ve sacrificed so much for her. You deserve to stand by her side, not remain in her shadow as a subordinate.”

“Don’t think your petty schemes will sway me,” Thorian replied coldly.
