Chapter 450 Who? Raven?
Chapter 450 Who? Raven?
Saxon was speechless. “Yeah, maybe they weren’t the most responsible parents, but they might’ve had their reasons.” He felt like he should at least try to defend his sister.
After all, considering what she’d been through before, it wasn’t surprising that she’d forgotten Benedict.
But upon hearing his words, Raven’s glare was as sharp as if she were staring at someone who’d sided with the enerny.
Just as Saxon started to feel increasingly guilty under her piercing gaze, she finally spoke, “No matter what reasons they got, abandoning a kid on the street is inexcusable. People like that don’t deserve to be called parents!”
“Yes, you’re absolutely right!” Worried she might start throwing out even harsher words, Saxon nodded quickly in agreement.
Raven, satisfied that her brother had finally stopped defending the indefensible, gave a small nod of approval.
Then, she glanced at the kid in her arms, her expression softening as she turned to Saxon with a smile.
“Hey, Saxon, as the president of World Star God Association, you must have plenty of capable people in the Sunset Empire, right? Can you help track down this little one’s parents?”
“Of course.” Saxon agreed without a moment’s hesitation.
As long as Raven wasn’t the one doing the searching herself, he was fine with it.
Letting him handle it? That was a piece of cake.
He’d make sure they searched forever and still came up empty–handed.
Raven, pleased with how quickly Saxon had agreed, nodded in satisfaction.
Even with all this going on, the lack of news about Cassian still gnawed at her, leaving her with a lingering sense of unease. The most important thing for her was to find Cassian. But…
Raven added, “When you find Benedict’s parents, let me know immediately. I’ll make sure they never dare abandon him again. They won’t forget the lesson I’ll give them.”
Saxon nodded stiffly, thinking only Raven could come up with something as absurd as this.
As Raven and Saxon left the Ortega family with Benedict, one of Finnley’s subordinates drove through the night, heading toward the Royal Palace hundreds of miles away from Broson City.
“Your Majesty, bad news!” Ignoring the guards‘ attempts to stop him, Finnley’s subordinate burst into the Emperor’s palace in a panic.
“What’s going on? Why are you in such a panic?” The Emperor, who had just lain down to rest, frowned deeply. These subordinates were becoming more disrespectful.
“General Hinton is dead.” The subordinate knelt in the center of the grand hall, trembling as he spoke. “He was murdered, Your Majesty. You must seek justice for him!”
“What did you say?” The Emperor’s irritation vanished instantly. “Repeat that!
“General Hinton was an Elite Warrior. No more than five people in the Sunset Empire could defeat him. How could anyone possibly kill him?
“Not to mention, he was a brigadier general in the military. Who would dare kill a military officer? Do they think they can rebel against the Sunset Empire?”
“He was killed by a young woman,” the subordinate stammered. “She acted as if she had powerful backing and disregarded our military. And, she also…”
The subordinate hesitated, glancing cautiously at the Emperor before lowering his voice to deliver another devastating piece of news. “She also killed Prince Arian.”
The Emperor grabbed the cup beside him and smashed it to the ground with a loud crash. “Who else did she kill?”
“Prince Arian… Prince Arian also died at her hands.” Under the Emperor’s furious gaze, the subordinate could only tremble
in fear. “The bodies of Prince Arian and General Hinton have been sent to Broson Royal Hospital.”
The Emperor’s face darkened as the weight of the news sank in.
However, after the initial shock, he regained his composure.
Fixing his gaze on the subordinate, he asked coldly, “Who killed them?”
“It was Raven, a member of Star God Association,” the subordinate answered truthfully.
“Who? Raven?” The Emperor’s expression shifted dramatically upon hearing the name.
