The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 678

Chapter 678 Keegan Cured Benedict

Martin’s words hit Thorian’s sore spot, causing his facial features to contort.

Thorian thought, ‘Now that Martin can describe the situation in such détail, there is only one possibility. The real Benedict must have woken up. The child in front of me is not someone Raven had hired to pretend to be. He is Benedict. Keegan cured him.”

Thorian’s entire body was trembling. He clenched his fists and dug his nails into palms, trying to calm himself down. He wanted to find a reasonable excuse to exonerate himself.

However, he could not say a word in the face of Martin and Benedict’s anger and Raven’s indifference.

“Lady Valor.” In desperation, Thorian finally called out the name he had not called out for a long time.

Once upon a time, he served Raven wholeheartedly, wishing to earn a smile from her. But from some unknown moment onward, he was no longer satisfied with merely being her subordinate. He wanted to become the man who could stand by her side.

He wanted to be with Raven, marry her, and be her husband rightfully. He had also been working hard for this day. ‘Could it be that I’m wrong? I only want to be with the one I love. Is that wrong?’ Thorian wondered.

He then said, “Lady Valor, that wasn’t my intention. I’ve never done anything wrong to you.”

‘Yes, I had almost killed someone and deceived Raven, but that was all to clear the obstacles for Raven, Thorian thought. Thorian still didn’t think he had done anything wrong to Raven.

He said, “That gigolo Cassian is nothing but a burden to you. He’s completely useless. Only I can stand with you against the lurking dangers, fight by your side. That’s why I want to eliminate every threat around you. Lady Valor, I’m helping you clean up the trash. What’s wrong with me doing this?”

“Thorian, you’re hopeless.” Martin shook his head in disappointment when he saw Thorian was still unrepentant.

As for Raven, she had long since lost all disappointment with Thorian, for hope led to disappointment. Thorian was just an enemy to her now, who had hurt those around her and still refused to repent.

Raven also knew Thorian could still defend himself because he thought she didn’t have other evidence against him. “Hey, Raven.” At this moment, Orion started to defend Thorian.

He said, “This son of mine is indeed a bit stubborn. However, he did this for your good. You have become a top disciple of Mr. Brown now and have no worries about your future. But a few years ago, when you were in the military, there were internal and external troubles around you. Didn’t you rely on my son to share your worries and solve potential hidden dangers for you?

“You and my son will be engaged soon. From now on, you’re family. If there’s anything, you can sit down and talk. Let’s forget all the misunderstandings that happened previously.

“As for Cassian, I’ve met him a few times. I admit he’s a good kid. But he’s not right for you. Fate doesn’t tie your paths together. That’s why things have turned out like this.
