Chapter 486 His Trick
Raven and Hugmuinn were back in the hotel room. After the door was shut, Raven glanced at Hugmuinn’s earring and said,” Hugmuinn, you look off color recently. Do you have something on your mind?”
Hugmuinn froze on the spot. Then, he quickly shook his head and replied, “No, nothing at all.” Hearing this, Raven said nothing but fixed her gaze on Hugmuinn.
Right before Hugmuinn, under pressure, attempted to run away, the Ring of Life art and Raven’s finger flicked. Then, Raven handed Hugmuinn a sachet and said, “Keep this. The dry herb inside can help refresh your mind.”
Hugmuinn accepted the gift. “Thanks, Boss.” He brought the sachet to his nose, sniffed it, and felt refreshed. “Boss, where did you get this?” he asked curiously.
“The fair,” Raven replied casually. That herb was favored by Raven all the time, and it didn’t belong to this world. Hiemaly had brought Raven many of her old favorites with that herb included.
Right then, the door was pushed open. Thorian appeared with Rin. “Boss, I brought him here,” Thorian reported. Rin nervously walked into the room.
He saw Raven and instinctively lowered his head to avoid her gaze. “Time is up. Tell me where Cassian is,” Raven said. Even if her tone was calm, Rin felt a chill down his spine.
Rin took a deep breath and braced himself to speak, “I didn’t see Cassian in the lab, I swear. As for the emergency phone call, could it be that the kid gave the wrong address in his panic?
“It’s understandable that kids get confused about their real situations when they’re scared. He was outside the base, perhaps because he was being hunted down by the bad guys.”
Right after Rin gave his speech, a blue light flicked past Raven’s fingers. The light shot toward Rin and strangled him around the neck like a rope.
Breathless, Rin clutched at his throat, and his face turned purple in the blink of an eye. When he thought that he would suffocate to death, he regained his breath.
When he was gasping for air, Raven’s calm but malicious voice sounded in his ear. “Since you can’t tell me where he is, it is pointless to keep you alive.”
Wide–eyed, Rin blurted out, “Miss Valor, I, I don’t know where Mr. Lysander is, but I have a way to find him!” Hearing this, Thorian standing next to Raven had a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. Then, his gaze was fixed on Rin intently.
Hugmuinn had been quietly observing Thorian since Thorian’s arrival, so he caught the subtle change in Thorian’s expression. Based on his observations, he concluded that Thorian had done a lot to prevent Raven from finding Cassian, but he didn’t know why.
“How?” Raven asked blandly. She didn’t believe that Rin could locate Cassian, and there was no rush for her to kill him. Because of Raven’s piercing gaze, Rin’s heart pounded frantically.
Trembling, Rin braced himself to add, “I, I think the boy knows something. He called for help, didn’t he? It suggests that he knows where Mr. Lysander is. The truth will be out after he wakes up.”
Hearing this, Thorian relaxed. “After my stab at his heart, it is impossible for Benedict to wake up,” he thought. The next second, he was annoyed by Rin’s advice.
“Miss Valor, I know that the boy is severely wounded, but someone can bring the dead back to life.” To bring the dead back to life? Instantly, Raven thought of the invitation to a drinking party.
Not long ago, Hugmuinn had mentioned that one guest at that drinking party could bring the dead back to life. With doubt, Raven decided to join the party.
Even so, she remained aloof and said coldly, “Bring the dead back to life? Do you really think that I will buy the story?” Rin responded excitedly, “It’s true! I can stake my life on it! Mr. Brown can bring the dead back to life!
“I had been thinking of ways to find Mr. Lysander as you requested. Later, I learned from my friend that Mr. Brown could bring that boy back as long as he wanted to.”
Without the slightest change in her expression, Raven asked, “How to find him?” Benedict’s life had been secured by Raven‘ s medical skills. “Benedict may have a full recovery if this man can bring the dead back to life,” Raven thought.
Rin quickly lowered his head to hide the glimmer of triumph in his eyes while he said, “George Brown lives in seclusion. Lately, he travels around the world to look for his disciple who is missing. I got the news that he was invited to the drinking party.
“He has urgent business that day, so he will let his subordinate, Robert White, attend the party on his behalf. I think Mr. White will take you to see Mr. Brown if you pretend to be the lost disciple. If Mr. Brown steps in, that boy will revive for sure.”
