Chapter 470 Burn It To The Ground 

The moment the words left Rin’s mouth, Raven shifted her weight–her foot slammed down on his wrist. 

Crack. The sharp sound of bone snapping echoed through the lab. 

Rin let out a blood–curdling scream that made every hair on one’s body stand on end. 

Saxon stood by, unmoved. His expression didn’t flicker in the slightest. 

When he’d heard that Benedict had been seriously injured, his heart had nearly stopped–and Rin? 

Rin bore a direct line of responsibility for it. 

Of course, he’d only asked for one of Rin’s hands if Rin had nothing to do with the boy’s injuries. 

But if Saxon uncovered so much as a thread of evidence tying Rin to what happened… then losing a hand would be the least of his problems. 

Under the looming threat of death, Rin forced himself to push through the pain, clutching his shattered wrist as he stammered, trying to sound as pitiful as possible. “Mr. Valor, I swear, I didn’t know who that kid was…” 

But before he could finish groveling, Raven stepped forward and looked down at him, her voice cold as frost. “You didn’t know about Benedict? Fine. Then what about Cassian? Don’t tell me you’ve never seen him either.” 

Benedict was already critically hurt. Now she had to find Cassian–before both of them ended up broken. 

“Cassian?” Rin clutched his chest and coughed, putting on a show of weakness. “I’ve never even heard the name. This is a restricted facility–how could someone sneak in? Other than the usual lab staff and that kid who wandered in, I haven’t seen anyone unfamiliar.” 

Raven’s eyes turned to ice. Without a word, she stomped down on Rin’s uninjured arm. “Bring me Cassian,” she said flatly. 

That was the final straw for Shawn. He couldn’t stay silent any longer as he watched his people get maimed right in front of him. He stepped forward with a dark expression. “Raven. Mr. Valor. You’re saying Cassian is here, but do you have any proof?” 

Saxon gave a sudden, humorless laugh. “Shawn, if I had proof, do you really think you’d still be standing here, talking to me?” 

Shawn choked on his words. 

Just then, several of Saxon’s men returned to report, “Sir, we’ve searched the entire facility–no sign of Cassian. We also checked surveillance footage and all known escape routes. Nothing.” 

Saxon’s aura darkened instantly. “Keep searching. Don’t stop until you find him.” 

Because Rin had detained Cassian in secret, only a handful of his closest cronies knew about it. The rest of the lab was genuinely unaware. And now that Saxon’s men were coming up empty–handed, others were beginning to grumble under their breath. 

Shawn’s patience snapped. “The Star God Association has no right to ransack our facility without evidence. This is the Sunset Empire, not your turf. Mr. Valor, you may be president of the Association, but this is overstepping.” 

Before Saxon could answer, Raven raised her hand. 

A crimson glow flared from the Five Elements Starcard in her palm. 

In a flash, flames burst forth–consuming the three scientists who had dared speak. 

The searing roar of fire filled the air–and when it faded, all that remained was ash. 

Everyone froze. 

Even Shawn’s breath caught in his throat. 

No one dared utter another complaint. 

Raven stepped forward, her voice soft but charged with enough weight to make the walls tremble. 

“You still owe me an explanation for what happened to my brother,” she said, fixing her gaze on Shawn. “If anything happens to Benedict or my boyfriend on your turf–you, your lab, and everything tied to Indigo Lab… will cease to exist.” 

Her tone wasn’t loud, but every person in the room felt the air grow heavier–like the gods themselves were watching. Shawn swallowed hard, his mouth suddenly dry. He did freed 

One look at Raven’s face told him the truth: if C

convincing. 

and soon he might not survive the day. 

From that moment on, he no longer dared to obstruct Saxon’s search. 

Over the next thirty minutes, Saxon’s men tore through the entire facility, checking every room, corridor, and crevice–but there was still no sign of Cassian.

Chapter 470 Burn it To The Ground 

As the tension thickened and the air around Raven and Saxon turned colder than steel, Saxon’s phone suddenly rang. 

He glanced at the caller ID and answered immediately. “Hello?” 

Then, as he listened, his head whipped around–and for the first time in bours, his eyes lit up with a rare, sharp glint of hope. He turned to Raven, excitement flickering in his gaze.
