Chapter 459 A Death Wish
For a moment, Shawn was completely stunned. 'What the hell is going on? he thought, dazed. Why are Raven
and the president of the Star God Association showing up here together?*
Behind him, Rin, who had followed Shawn out of the office, caught sight of Raven and nearly collapsed on the
spot-his legs buckled, and he almost hit the floor.
His mind blanked, and only one thought remained: It's over.
His whole body trembled as he imagined the consequences of their exposure. He tried to keep it together, but
the fear was overwhelming.
Shawn, however, had no tto notice Rin's unraveling state. His own panic was written all over his face as he
forced a swallow, his voice tight and nervous.

He said, "Miss Valor, Mr. Valor... what brings you here? If you needed anything, a simple call would've done-I
would've cout personally to greet you."
Dignity meant nothing in front of Raven and Saxon, especially after witnessing Raven storm through Indigo
Training Ground like a one-woman army. In Shawn's eyes, she was less a woman than a walking force of
destruction.
"Indigo Lab?" Raven's gaze bore into him. "So it really is connected to you."
Color drained from Shawn's face.
He opened his mouth to explain, but Raven cut him off coldly.
"Relax," she said flatly. "I'm not here to settle the score-at least not today. My brother's son is being held in your
lab. Hand him over, and | won't press the other matters. For now."
Shawn blinked. "Your brother's... son?"
The words hit him like a brick wall.
He turned, stiffly, toward the man standing beside Raven.
When he realized who Saxon was, a tsunami crashed through his mind.
'Raven... is the Star God Association president's sister?' He'd already found Raven tough to deal with on her own,
but now she cbacked by the Star God Association?
And worse-far worse-was the implication buried in her words: someone from their lab had taken the president's
son. ‘These idiots... do they have a death wish?'
The second he realized just how bad this could get, Shawn's entire demeanor shifted. He looked Raven straight
in the eye, his voice suddenly serious. "Miss Valor, there must be skind of misunderstanding. Please... give
Without waiting for a response, Shawn grabbed Rin and shoved him forward. "Have you seen the boy she's
talking about?" he demanded.
Rin frowned in thought, then, as if something clicked, nodded. “Right. There was a little boy who somehow
wandered in this afternoon, but our lab has strict rules- outsiders aren't allowed in. As soon as our staff found
him, they escorted him out."
That wasn't entirely a lie-but it wasn't the truth either. Yes, a boy had run into the lab. But Rin hadn't had him
thrown out. He'd been trying to get approval for a new round of experiments-ones that specifically needed test
subjects between five, and eight years old. So when he couldn't trace the boy's identity, and figured he was just
snameless street kid, he had him detained for further use.
Saxon's eyes sharpened. "Did anyone see which way he went?"
Rin, as the head of the lab, was no amateur. He'd been trained to lie without a flicker of guilt, and no polygraph
in the world could detect it.
So it was no surprise that no one in the room caught a thing.
“I'll make a call and check,” he said smoothly, already pulling out his phone. In front of Raven and Saxon, he
pretended to dial and spoke into the receiver, "That kid who showed on the afternoonery idea which direction he
went after leaving?" Successfully unlocked!
A few moments later, Rin ended the fake call ar. turned back. "Got it.
