Chapter 455 Benedict Is Missing
"Who | am doesn't matter." The gloomy man narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a soft chuckle. "What really
matters is this. If the world found out the fearsChariot could be so sentimental, what would they think?"
Thorian froze for a split second, and his muscles tensed as the words hit him. Then, in a cold voice, he asked,
"What do you mean?"
"Con, do | really have to spell it out for you?" Unbothered by Thorian's growinganger, the gloomy man
continued, "With your strength and cunning, you could easily carve out your own empire. Why waste your talents
serving under someone else?
"The only reason you're still in Valhalla is because you're head over heels for Raven, right?"
Thorian's expression turned icy. "I don't know what you're talking about. Stop following me!"
"Relax. I'm just trying to help." The gloomy man smirked. "You're out here risking your neck for her, but what's
she doing? Chasing after spretty boy who's all looks and no substance. Doesn't that sting, even a little?"
"Who the hell are you?" Thorian's gaze locked onto the gloomy man. This man knew far too much. If he dared to
harm Raven...
Thorian's mind raced, and a sharp glint of killing intent flickered in his sharp eyes. The gloomy man seemed to

"Sure, you could escape, but if you drew the attention of the Sunset Empire's military, your identity might be
exposed. And then, the mission Raven entrusted to you would be ruined."
Thorian clenched his jaw and slowly withdrew the concealed weapon he had been gripping tightly.
For a moment, he had truly wanted to kill this man.
But as the man had pointed out, Raven's mission was still incomplete, and his identity couldn't be revealed yet.
Seeing that, the smile on the gloomy man's lips deepened, his satisfaction almost palpable.
He pulled a business card from the pocket of his suit and handed it to Thorian. The card had nothing on it except
a phone number.
He said, "Thorian, | can help you get what you truly desire. If the day comes when you change your mind, just
call this number."
The gloomy man took a few steps forward, then stopped abruptly. Turning back to Thorian, he said, "Some
opportunities, once missed, are gone forever. You've sacrificed so much for her. You deserve to stand by her side,
not remain in her shadow as a subordinate."
"Don't think your petty schemes will sway me," Thorian replied coldly.
His eyes glinted with icy determination. "I've worked for her, and I'll always do. I've never once considered
standing as her equal.
"As for her preferences, what kind of man she chooses to be with is her personal business and has nothing to do
with me." "Is that really what you think?" The gloomy man smirked, his grin tinged with mockery. "You might fool
others with those words, but not me. Stop lying to yourself. Whether you continue as her subordinate or make
her yours, it's all up to you, Thorian. Think it over carefully."
With that, he left those words hanging in the air and continued walking out of the alley.
Ever since he learned Raven had arrived in the Sunset Empire, he had been laying the groundwork for his plan.
Thorian was the linchpin of his scheme.
Earlier that day, when he saw Thorian with a stunning woman, he had assumed Thorian had moved on, and
disappointment had begun to creep in. But then he heard Thorian address the woman as "Lady Valor."
It was hard for him to relate the breathtaking beauty before him to the plain- looking Raven he remembered, but
he had no choice but to accept the truth.
In fact, this revelation only made it easier for him to proceed with his plan.
He had seen through Thorian's feelings. As lor as he played his cards right, he was confident he could turn
Thorian into the perfect pawn.

It was just the beginning.
The dim streetlight cast eerie shadows across the man's pale face, making him look almost ghostly.
He gritted his teeth. "Raven, everything you owe me-I'll make sure you pay for it, piece by piece!"
