Chapter 463 Escape From The Base
But the smug anticipation on their faces quickly froze into something much stiffer. ‘What... how is this possible?"
Under the harsh white glare of the overhead lights, Cassian's entire body was trembling from the sheer mental
torment. His skin was ghostly pale, his brows furrowed in agony, every nerve in his body straining under
pressure. And yet he made not a single sound.
His lips were clamped tightly shut, not even a whimper slipping through.
Above them, Benedict remained hidden behind the ceiling panel, eyes locked on Cassian through the narrow slit.
His small fists clenched instinctively, trembling with helpless fury.
He had never wanted power so badly in his entire life.
But no matter how gifted he was-no matter how monstrous his talent-he was still just five years old. Right now,
against the people down there, he didn't stand a chance.

For the first time, he regretted rushing in on his own after learning Cassian's location. If he hadn't acted so
recklessly, maybe Cassian wouldn't be down there suffering because of him.
In the lab below, Rin's gaze darkened. He'd watched Cassian endure wave after wave of mental assault without
begging for mercy, and instead of admiration, all it stirred in him was deeper hostility.
Still, despite his hatred, Rin didn't dare approach.
He kept his distance, arms crossed coldly as he said, "Keep being stubborn, and it won't be long before your
mind breaks entirely. You'll spend the rest of your life a hollow shell. I'm giving you one last chance."
But before he could finish his threat, Cassian slowly-painfully-lifted his head. In those striking eyes was a rising
tide of bloodlust, dark and overwhelming.
The instant Rin met his gaze, a blinding jolt of pain tore through his skull. 'What the hell was that-?!"
At that very moment, Benedict, still hidden in the ceiling, seized his chance and tossed a small stone down
through the gap.
What was that noise?
One of Rin's subordinates immediately glanced up. "It cfrom above."
"Could've been the third floor,” another researcher said suddenly. “There's a crawlspace in the vent system-it
connects upstairs."
The sudden disruption broke Rin's focus, and he snapped his gaze away from Cassian.
Trying to suppress the lingering fear in his eyes, he barked at his men, "Go. Now. Check it out. That kid cannot be
allowed to escape this base."
Without even sparing Cassian another glance, Rin turned and bolted toward the upper floors like the lab was on
fire. He. couldn't stay another second near that maniac.
As their footsteps pounded away into the distance, Benedict held his breath, waiting.
When he was sure the lab was clear, he gently pushed aside the ceiling panel, used the storage cabas a
step, and quietly dropped back down to the floor. He ran to Cassian's side.
Reaching out carefully, he pressed his fingers to Cassian's neck to check his temperature, then whispered, "Sir...
are you okay?"
Cassian managed to lift his head, a weak smile tugging at his pale lips. "I'm fine. Don't blyourself."
Anyone else subjected to that intense mental attack would've already cracked and beca vegetable. But that
wasn't what worried him. The real danger was something far worse.
That brutal hit hadn't just shaken his psyche-it had stirred the others.
He could feel them... the alternate personalities inside him, agitated and restless.
One wrong move and one of them could break free. If that happened, he had no idea what they might do to the
boy. He had to get Benedict out of here before they surfaced.
Reaching into his jacket pocket, Cassian pulled oufa strange-looking key Subscribed
