The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 460

Chapter 460 Benedict In The Lab

Rin turned to Saxon and said calmly, "Mr. Valor, my staff only remembers seeing the boy head toward the subway station across the road. As for whether he actually went in... no one's sure."

It was a vague answer, deliberately so. Most people wouldn't remember which direction a stranger left in, and Rin was banking on that-something ambiguous enough to send Raven and Saxon on a wild goose chase, without raising suspicion.

If Benedict really had gone to the station, the nearby surveillance cameras would've picked him up. That was enough to make the lie convincing.

Saxon didn't hesitate. He turned on his heel, ready to head straight there.

But before he could walk out the door, Shawn quickly spoke up. "Mr. Valor, since the child was last seen in our lab, I can't shirk responsibility. I'll have my men search the area immediately. If we find anything, you'll be the first to know."

"Good," Saxon said. "Call me directly if there's news."

Because Rin had no clear motive to harm Benedict, Saxon wasn't the least bit suspicious. He tossed a business card onto the table, then grabbed Raven by the arm and left.

Once the pair disappeared down the corridor, Shawn spun around to face Rin. "That kid couldn't have gone far. Priority one -find Mr. Valor's son. After that, Cassian. We need answers in two days. Satisfactory ones. Can you handle that?”

"I... yes," Rin said, lowering his head slightly to hide his unease. "I'll send men out right away."

The moment Shawn walked off, Rin rushed back to his office. After making sure no one was nearby, he picked up his phone and called a trusted subordinate.
