Chapter 676 He Almost Killed Me
However, Thorian immediately tried his best to calm the fear in his heart. He pretended to be innocent and asked, “Raven, why are you still suspecting me at this point? I didn’t do what you said. You can’t just believe other people’s slander and suspect me.”
Then, he added, “Ever since I followed you five years ago, I’ve never done anything wrong to you. I’ve always been loyal to you and Valhalla. I even gave up my identity as the heir of the Lawrence family to work for you. How can you doubt me like that?”
Every word of Thorian was resounding as if he had never done anything immoral or unjust.
“I can admit that I was jealous of Cassian before. After all, he is your ex–boyfriend. However, this jealousy is only hurnan nature. I would not want to harm him just because of this little jealousy, Thorian said.
After everyone heard Thorian’s words, they nodded thoughtfully. After all, everyone had more or less jealousy toward their current partner’s ex–boyfriend or ex–girlfriend. They thought it was understandable, even if Thorian hated Cassian very much.
Although these people did not dare to criticize Raven, after hearing Thorian’s words, they more or less had an opinion of Raven.
They thought since Raven had already chosen to be engaged to Thorian, she should not mention her ex–boyfriend at the engagement party, let alone accuse Thorian without any basis.
For a moment, they looked at Thorian with more sympathy. They thought, ‘It seems the ways of those in power are mostly the same. Once they attain authority and status, they discard their lovers like yesterday’s news.
‘Oh, Thorian has been with Raven for five years. Even if he has no achievements, he has put in a lot of hard work. However, after Raven becomes Mr. Brown’s disciple, she doesn’t want to be with Thorian. She’s just like a heartless playgirl.‘ Thorian received sympathetic looks from the guests below the stage. He felt more confident. He said eloquently, “Also, do you think Cassian likes you for real? What else can he do besides implicating you?
“In the past five years, I was the one who carried out your secret mission for you. I was also the one who helped you develop Valhalla into one of the top ten factions in the world.
“But what about Cassian? All he does is hide at school, lazing around all day, basking in the status and glory handed to him by you and his family. He would immediately hide once something happened to you, afraid to be implicated.
“Raven, search your conscience. Where was Cassian when Vyrdenia Military cast you out? Where was he when the world branded you a fraud for claiming to be Mr. Brown’s disciple? He vanished every time you needed him most. How dare he claim to love you?
“Only I… Only I am the man who has never left you and stayed by your side from beginning to end. And only I am truly worthy of being with you, Raven. Stop deluding yourself. Forget Cassian. He doesn’t deserve your lingering thoughts, nor is he worthy of your love.
“Perhaps you won’t be able to forget him for a while, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t mind. I’m willing to wait. As long as you’re still by my side, I don’t mind that there’s another man in your heart. Someday, you’ll see how good I am and forget that useless gigolo.”
Thorian’s heartfelt words moved most of the guests below the stage, but they could not move Raven. After seeing those videos and hearing Benedict’s complaint against Thorian, she found Thorian’s words hypocritical and disgusting.
“Thorian, do you think I’ll believe you just because you said these words?” Raven looked at Thorian as if she were looking at a stranger.
She said, “Only now do I realize you have such an exquisite talent for acting. Do you think I have no evidence and don’t know what you did behind my back?”
Raven was right. Thorian said that because he was convinced Raven couldn’t find evidence. He thought that Benedict had suffered a serious injury and had been in a coma for so long that even George couldn’t cure him, and as for Keegan from Forreb, it was even more impossible for him to cure Benedict.
He felt that since Raven had no evidence, he could lie with a clear conscience, make excuses for himself, and refuse to admit what he had done before.
However, Thorian did not expect what happened next to he havond his evnectations.
“Thorian, out of consideration for the fact that Successfully unlocked!, I’ll give you one last chance.” Raven’s expression was cold as she said, “If you confess your comes in our everyone now, I might be lenient and let you end your life yourself. Otherwise-”
“Raven, stop saying that. I won’t admit to something I didn’t do.” Thorian interrupted Raven. “It’s our engagement day. I don‘ t want those rumors to ruin our relationship.”

Raven sneered, knowing that Thorian was completely hopeless.
She said, “There has never been any so–called love between us. Since you refuse to admit it, I can only show you the evidence.”
With that, Raven took out her phone and called Martin. “Hello? Martin, you can come in now.”
When Thorian heard Raven’s tone, he suddenly had a bad feeling. ‘Is there some evidence that I had overlooked?‘ he wondered.
Just as Thorian was panicking, Orion, also standing on the stage, pointed angrily Raven and said, “Raven, don’t think that the Lawrence family won’t dare to do anything to you just because you’re Mr. Brown’s disciple. Today is the day that you and Thorian get engaged. What are you trying to do by making a scene at the engagement party?
“Can’t you resolve the conflict between you and Thorian in private? Do you have to embarrass the Lawrence family before all the guests?”
He thought that Raven was relying on her new identity and wanted to discard Thorian after having made use of him, so he naturally could not let her have her way.
After all, all the families in Regalhold knew that his son was getting engaged to George’s disciple. If Raven suddenly changed her mind, the Lawrence family would become the laughing stock of the entire Vyrdenia.
So, Orion said, “Saying that Thorian did something wrong to you and that he harmed Cassian and Benedict was just an excuse, right?
“My Thorian has a kind personality. How could he do such a heinous and immoral thing? Even if you don’t want to be responsible for him, you don’t have to make up such a ridiculous reason to brush me off.”
Just as Orion questioned Raven righteously and the guests present shook their heads to express their sympathy for Thorian, footsteps suddenly came from outside the banquet hall.
Immediately after, a clear voice sounded, “Aunt Raven, it’s this bad guy who almost killed me!”
