Chapter 468 Raven Has Arrived


    Chapter 468 Raven Has Arrived


    With a deep, bone-jarring thud, the door to Cassian''sb was kicked open from the outside.


    Cassian, slumped against the wall, slowly lifted his head. Through the doorway, he saw Rin and Thorian striding in.


    His brows drew together slightly.


    The moment heid eyes on Oakley, a flicker of recognition passed through him- there was something disturbingly familiar about the man.


    And then, just as sharply, he caught the look Oakley gave him. Cold, calcting... and burning with hate.


    "Hand him over to me," Oakley said.


    His gaze swept over Cassian''s battered body, clearly at the end of its rope, and a greedy gleam sparked in his eyes.


    He''d changed his mind.


    Before, he''d assumed Rin had failed to kill Cassian because the man was too powerful-too dangerous to take alive. Oakley hadn''t dared to make a move then. But now?


    Cassian was barely clinging to life. To Oakley, he looked no more threatening than an ant under his heel.


    And if he could capture him alive, he could use him as leverage. With Cassian in chains, Raven would have no choice but to surrender her authority over the Vyrdenia military.


    And once that happened, it was only a matter of time before Oakley ruled the entire region.


    "What are you talking about?" Rin tur te "


    to him, caught off guard.


    "His life still has value. I''m taking him with me." Oakley flicked his hand.


    Instantly, several Sunset Empire warriors stepped forward, surrounding Cassian like a pack of wolves closing in on wounded prey.


    "No," Rin said coldly. "He has to die. Today."


    As long as Cassian lived, there was still a chance Raven would find him. And if she discovered what Rin had done... there would be no forgiveness. No escape. Oakley shoved Rin aside. "That''


    not your


    decision. I said I want him alive. Restrain him!"


    se to ck


    Rin''s expression darkened to something close to ck ice.


    He turned sharply to theb techs beside him. “Kill him.”


    Cassian watched as the room full of men closed in-treating him like nothing more than meat on the chopping block. His gaze grew colder with every step they took.


    But the moment they lunged, the sound of ck projectiles piercing skulls sliced through the air. At the same time, ss exploded.


    For an instant, silence reigned.


    Then Rin''s pupils contracted violently.


    He bolted toward the floor-to-ceiling window-what was left of it. It was shattered.


    "How... how did he do that?" he whispered, staring at the broken pane in disbelief.


    These weren''t ordinary windows. They were made of reinforced materials, unbreakable by someone in Cassian''s poisoned, weakened state.


    Oakley moved to stand beside him, his face like a thundercloud.


    Sure, Cassian dying had its perks-there was satisfaction in revenge. But taking him alive would''ve been far more valuable. Suddenly, Rin''s eyes widened with realization. He whirled around and shouted at theb workers, "Find the body! Go! Now!"


    Theb was at least three hundred feet above ground.


    If Cassian had jumped, there was almost no chance he''d survived.


    But that wasn''t the point.


    ''If Raven saw his corpse..'' he thought, ''No. She really resto


    He couldn''t let her find it. Not under any circum Sessfully unlocked!


    But just as the panic took hold, a new sound echoed from the hallway-footsteps.


    A momentter, a young technician burst into theb, out of breath.


    He said, "Mr. Kuroki! People from the Star God Association just arrived. They''re looking for someone. Mr. Alford wants

    everyone in the base to gather immediately."


    "Star God Association?" Oakley blinked, surprise flickering across his face. Rin''s


    breath hitched. His face drained of color, panic finally setting in.


    "It''s Raven. She''s here."
