The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459 A Death Wish

For a moment, Shawn was completely stunned. ‘What the hell is going on? he thought, dazed. Why are Raven and the president of the Star God Association showing up here together?‘

Behind him, Rin, who had followed Shawn out of the office, caught sight of Raven and nearly collapsed on the spot–his legs buckled, and he almost hit the floor.

His mind blanked, and only one thought remained: It’s over.

His whole body trembled as he imagined the consequences of their exposure. He tried to keep it together, but the fear was overwhelming.

Shawn, however, had no time to notice Rin’s unraveling state. His own panic was written all over his face as he forced a swallow, his voice tight and nervous.

He said, “Miss Valor, Mr. Valor… what brings you here? If you needed anything, a simple call would’ve done–I would’ve come out personally to greet you.”

Dignity meant nothing in front of Raven and Saxon, especially after witnessing Raven storm through Indigo Training Ground like a one–woman army. In Shawn’s eyes, she was less a woman than a walking force of destruction.

“Indigo Lab?” Raven’s gaze bore into him. “So it really is connected to you.”

He opened his mouth to explain, but Raven cut him off coldly.

Shawn blinked. “Your brother’s… son?”

The words hit him like a brick wall.

Saxon’s eyes sharpened. “Did anyone see which way he went?”

Rin, as the head of the lab, was no amateur. He’d been trained to lie without a flicker of guilt, and no polygraph in the world could detect it.

So it was no surprise that no one in the room caught a thing.

“I’ll make a call and check,” he said smoothly, already pulling out his phone. In front of Raven and Saxon, he pretended to dial and spoke into the receiver, “That kid who showed on the afternoonery idea which direction he went after leaving?”

Successfully unlocked!

A few moments later, Rin ended the fake call ar. turned back. “Got it.
