Chapter 494 Reunion

Chapter 494 Reunion

George ignored Scarface’s command, his gaze fixed intently on Raven ahead.

That face, that posture, that aura–it was all so achingly familiar.

He was completely sure that the young girl before him was the very disciple he’d spent years searching for.

At that moment, George felt the icy barriers around his heart begin to melt away.

George, a man typically stoic and unmoved by emotions, now found himself wavering.

Fearful it was only a mirage brought on by his desperation, he dared not move.

At the same time, Raven turned her gaze toward George.

“You…” she said.

The moment her eyes landed on him, an inexplicable feeling surged within Raven.

. Although she’d never met him before, she felt strangely familiar with him–warm, even, as if they’d known each other in a

past life.

But just as Raven tried to piece together where this feeling might have come from, a sharp, stabbing pain suddenly shot through her temple, breaking her train of thought.

“What are you standing around for? Get moving! Boss sent you here to help us catch her! If you keep waiting, she’s going to slip away!” Scarface, growing impatient with George’s lack of action, barked at him in frustration.

George didn’t even spare him a glance, completely ignoring his words.

Had he not arrived at the warehouse just in time to see Scarface fleeing for his life, he might have mistaken him for one of Raven’s men and left him to his fate.

But now, his entire focus was on Raven.

With everyone watching, George walked directly toward her without breaking eye contact.

When he was just a few steps away, he noticed the way she looked at him–like a stranger–and suddenly stopped in his

tracks.

After a brief moment of hesitation, he finally spoke, his voice carrying a trace of unease. “Was that sachet in the hotel yours?” Despite his near certainty that Raven was his long–lost disciple, years of heartbreaking searches made George fear this might be another cruel illusion. What if their resemblance was deceiving? The potential for further disappointment weighed heavily upon him.

Though certain of the answer, he clung to a sliver of hope, asking for reassurance anyway.

If

Raven had been bracing herself for an attack, so George’s unexpected question caught her off guard. “Wait,” she said, “you went to the hotel?”

She was absolutely certain that even if Hugmuinn and Thorian joined forces, they wouldn’t stand a chance against George. If this man was truly sent by Ashley, Hugmuinn and the others were probably already in serious danger.

And yet, for some reason, she didn’t sense any hostility from him.

When George heard Raven confirm the sachet was at the hotel, a wave of relief washed over him, easing the tension that had gripped him.

All his doubts vanished. The person standing before him wasn’t just someone who looked like her–it was actually his disciple, the one he’d been searching for all these years.

“Raven, watch out!” Randolph couldn’t hold back a warning as he saw George going berserk, even killing his own men
