Chapter 331 Ready For Tonight
Still, Hiemaly couldn’t shake the frustration of not finding any proof that Cassian was bullying Raven today.
Besides, with his current strength, going up against Cassian would only end in mutual destruction.
And the worst part? His clueless sister would still defend Cassian no matter what, even if she was the one being bullied. That left him with no choice but to hold back for now.
He shot Cassian a long, cold look before saying flatly, “Let’s go.”
With that, he turned and strode out of the room.
Once outside, he hesitated for a moment. Finally, he pulled out a yellow talisman, his resolve hardening.
Using his finger, he carefully wrote a line of text on the talisman.
Strangely, glowing marks appeared wherever his finger touched.
The moment he finished the last stroke, the talisman ignited in a sudden burst of flames.
In the blink of an eye, it burned away completely, leaving no trace behind–not even a speck of ash.
Hiemaly stared at the empty space where the talisman had been, then glanced back at Cassian, his eyes flickering.
That talisman had taken him a ridiculous amount of effort to create. It was a special tool that could contact Raven’s other six brothers.
He’d made it as a precaution, never intending to actually ask those six idiots, who were always competing with him for Raven’s attention, for help.
But he knew that without their help, there was no way he could overpower Cassian anytime soon, let alone break his legs. So with reluctance, he sent out the call for help in order to teach this bastard who dared “bully” Raven a lesson.
While Hiemaly was reaching out to his brothers from his past life’s world, the Ring of Life on Raven’s finger flickered faintly inside the room.
Then, the handcuffs that had just vanished from Cassian’s wrist suddenly appeared in her hand.
Raven noticed Cassian’s handsome face stiffen at the sight of the handcuffs. Without hesitation, she grabbed his hand and placed the cuffs into his palm.
A sly smile curved her lips as she teased, “Here, darling. Keep these safe. You might need them later tonight.”
Cassian thought, ‘I will need them? For me? Why would I want that?‘
Raven raised an eyebrow at his obvious distaste. “What, not interested?”
Cassian instinctively reached out to take them. After all, it was better to keep such troublesome things in his own hands than risk being caught off guard by them again.
But just as his fingers were about to touch the cuffs, Raven snatched them back.
“Since you don’t want it, I’ll keep them for now,” she said, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Who knows? They might come in handy someday.”
The last thing he wanted was to see those cuffs ever again.
Raven, clearly amused by his defeated expression, let out a soft chuckle. Then, she took his hand in hers. “Alright, let’s grab some breakfast.”
Cassian let Raven lead him outside, his mood not exactly cheerful but far from defeated.
After all, he’d failed at this plenty of times in his past life. What’s one more failure to add to the pile?
Besides, Raven already knew about the other personalities living inside him.
If he failed again, he could always push the blame onto one of his other selves.
Most importantly, those specialty restraints he’d custom–ordered, far more reliable than mere handcuffs, would be ready for pickup this afternoon.
With any luck, he’d be back in top form by tonight.
With that thought, Cassian’s mood took a shar Successfully unlocked!

After breakfast, Raven sought out Hugmuinn to complete ending over the treasures from the Ring of Life, which would significantly strengthen Valhalla.
Afterward, she joined Hiemaly and Cassian as they headed to the gathering of the world’s most influential figures in Vyrdenia.
