hapter 495 Not Letting Her Go
George’s words struck the remaining Nightwatchers Pack like a bolt from the blue, leaving them shaken and unsteady, some nearly on the verge of collapse.
‘What the hell is going on here?‘ they thought, disbelief etched across their faces.
‘Wasn’t he sent by Ashley to capture Raven?
‘Then why does George look like he knows her from way back?’
Everyone of Nightwatchers Pack exchanged uneasy glances, their silent understanding clear. Without a word, they began inching toward the door, hoping to slip away unnoticed.
At this moment, Raven’s entire focus was on George standing before her, completely ignoring everyone else around her. For some reason, a faint pang of sadness stirred in her heart.
As Raven studied George’s face up close, that strange sense of familiarity grew even stronger.
For some reason, the man in front of her felt inexplicably familiar, almost like family.
And yet, she was certain she had never met George before.
Raven had no idea where this feeling came from.
Confused, Raven glanced down at the scar–faced man lying lifeless on the ground.
After confirming he was dead with no chance of survival, she turned back to George, her expression puzzled.
“You said you’re not with Ashley, so why did you stop me from killing the scar–faced man?” she asked. George replied, “I thought he was one of your people.”
George lowered his gaze, his previous air of celestial detachment replaced by the demeanor of a child anticipating punishment.
Raven thought to herself, ‘How can someone so cold and aloof suddenly try to appear pitiful?‘
George stared at Raven, his dark eyes clouded with sadness. “You really don’t remember me?” he asked softly.
Raven froze mid–step, her head snapping up to meet George’s gaze.
A jolt of pain ripped through Raven’s mind as their eyes met, like lightning splitting her thoughts. Her head throbbed, on the verge of exploding.
Raven shook her head slightly, trying to dispel the discomfort, then took a deep breath to steady herself.
Fixing her eyes on George, she spoke firmly, “I think you’ve got the wrong person. I’ve never met you, so how could I remember you?”
George’s eyes flickered with a trace of anguish at her words.
He didn’t know what had happened to her, but one thing was clear–Raven had completely forgotten him.
George longed to tell Raven he was her mentor, but he knew revealing the truth now would only make her skeptical since she had no memory of him.
Worse, Raven might even start to reject and distrust him.
As George pondered the situation, Randolph approached Raven cautiously. “Raven,” he murmured, “stay alert. It’s suspicious that he appeared just in time to save you from scar–faced man, then killed him without hesitation. Something doesn’t feel right.
“Besides, his strength is terrifying. The scar–faced man was an Elite Warrior, and this guy took him out in a single move. We can’t afford to let our guard down.”
Raven nodded. “I understand.”
She couldn’t shake the thought that George was just a stranger who’d shown up out of nowhere and it didn’t make sense for him to help her without a reason.
Still, George didn’t seem to harbor any intent to harm her, so Raven saw no reason to act against him for now.
Raven did her best to ignore George as she scanned the warehouse, now devoid of any Nightwatchers Pack.
She asked Randolph, “Are you planning to come Successfully unlocked!
?”
Randolph hesitated for a moment before replying, Ravell, we Callie here without informing the military. If we stick with you now, we’ll be too easy to spot.
“We’re injured, and people from the Sunset Empire who saw us fighting might recognize us, making it dangerous to stay here. We’re going to Vyrdenia to recover and will come back for you when we’re healed.
Chapter 495 Not Letting Her Go
“If the military really decides to kick you out, we’ll leave the Sirius Pack and follow you!”
Randolph and the Sirius Pack members had clearly made up their minds–they would never betray Raven.
Randolph added, “Whether it’s the military or the Nightwatchers Pack, anyone who stands against you is our enemy!”
Raven smiled warmly at Randolph and the others.
She had been right about them all along. Randolph and the Sirius Pack were the most loyal and fearless warriors she had personally chosen.
“Don’t worry,” Raven assured them. “If I leave the military, you’re coming with me.”
Raven knew deep down that if she left the Vyrdenia Military, the Sirius Pack would undoubtedly face suppression from the higher–ups.
If she made that choice, she would ensure they were properly taken care of.
“Boss, take care of yourself!” Randolph and the other members of the Sirius Pack cast a reluctant glance at Raven before resolutely turning and walking away.
Once they were gone, Raven also left the warehouse.
Just as Raven settled into the driver’s seat, she noticed George casually open the passenger door and slide in naturally.
