Chapter 674 As You Wish
Thorian was wearing an expensive white tuxedo. He looked imposing and dignified, like a prince from a fairy tale. As soon as he walked into the banquet hall, he attracted the attention of everyone present.
No one knew that this seemingly calm person held a dagger with a ferocious expression and wanted to kill Edric ten minutes ago.
“Mr. Lawrence is here!”
“He is so handsome.”
“Indeed, clothes make the man.”
The guests discussed quietly. They looked at Thorian with amazement and envy.
That was understandable. After all, every man present was envious of him because he could get engaged to Raven, George‘ s outstanding disciple.
Thorin was
gazes. He quickly arrived in front of Raven.
His heart was beating so fast that he felt it was about to jump out of his chest. No matter how difficult the mission was in the past, it had never made him so nervous.
‘Soon, I’ll become Raven’s fiancé under everyone’s witness. From now on, no one can separate the two of us; Thorian thought.
In Thorian’s eyes, there was only the shadow of Raven. He even saw Raven smile at him. Even though the smile carried infinite coldness, Thorian, blinded by happiness, still deluded himself into believing Raven’s sneer was a gesture of acceptance.
He thought, ‘It seems that Raven has finally realized that Cassian is not right for her and wants to be with me intently! At the thought of this, Thorian couldn’t help but smile. He came to Raven’s side and said gently, “Raven, I’ve specially prepared a white gown for you. It matches my suit. Moreover, I’ve also prepared dozens of sets of high–end jewelry for you. The stylist is also waiting in the dressing room on the second floor. Before the engagement party starts, go change your clothes.”
At this moment, Raven was wearing a simple white dress.
Raven was beautiful in Thorian’s eyes, no matter what she wore. But since it was their engagement party, Thorian felt that she should dress up more grandly.
“There’s no need. I don’t like floor–length gowns. It’s inconvenient for me to move,” Raven said calmly.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you. Anyway, in my heart, you look good in anything.” Thorian did not want to make Raven unhappy over such a small matter, so he did not mention changing her clothes and putting on makeup again.
“Raven, are you ready? We will be engaged soon.” Thorian looked at Raven affectionately and said in a voice that only Raven and he could hear, “By now, you should have already believed that I didn’t do anything to let you down. I love you. You’re the only one in my heart. In this world, I’m the only one who will never hurt you.”
Raven listened to Thorian’s passionate confession expressionlessly, utterly unmoved. If anything, she found his saccharine display nauseating.
‘How can Thorian say such a thing so calmly after colluding with outsiders to hurt the people around me?‘ Raven thought.
She recalled the first time she met Thorian. At that time, she only thought that Thorian would be her right–hand man. She even intended to formally hand over Valhalla to Thorian once she returned to Forreb, letting him be the new leader of
Valhalla.
However, she did not expect Thorian to be such a treacherous person full of lies. He was clearly lying to her, but he still pretended to be innocent and confessed to her affectionately, saying he wanted to get engaged to her.
Thorian’s insidiousness and hypocrisy made the last bit of camaraderie Raven had for him disappear.
She couldn’t help but think, ‘If not for Thorian, Benedict wouldn’t have been critically injured for so long, nearly dying in Indigo Lab. And Cassian wouldn’t have been trapped there for years.’
All of this happened because Thorian took advantage of her trust. It was also the last thing Raven could tolerate. When Raven saw Thorian again after she learned the truth she only felt that he was selfish and sinister. ‘Fortunately, I discovered Thorian’s true colors in time. Other Successfully unlocked! night get hurt; she thought.
Raven looked up at the lively scene in the banquet hai. Se cinched ner fists slightly, and a sharp glint flashed across her
eyes.
She thought, ‘Today, on this stage specially built for Thorian, I will make Thorian, the traitor, pay the price for everything he has done.‘

“Raven, it’s about time. Let’s go on stage together.” Thorian eagerly extended his arm to Raven, intending to let her hold his.
Raven stared at Thorian for a while and said, “Is this the engagement party you’re looking forward to?”
“Yes, of course. I’ve waited a long time for this day.” Thorian smiled happily. “Let’s go up together.”
“As you wish,” Raven said, but she did not hold Thorian’s arm. Instead, she turned around and led the way to the stage, which was not far away.
