Chapter 572 The Soul Gathering Technique
The next second, Raven suddenly noticed something was off about Thorian. She walked over to him, placed her
fingers on his wrist to check his pulse, and her expression shifted sharply.
She exclaimed, "Did you fall victim to a soul gathering technique?"
"What's a soul gathering technique, Lady Valor?" Thorian, though unsure why Raven's attitude had changed, felt
a wave of relief as he observed her reaction.
'It seems she is buying my story, he thought.
"It's nothing." Raven studied Thorian for a moment before asking, "How much do you actually remember about
what happened?"
He began. "I got a message earlier. The sender claimed to know Mr. Lysander's whereabouts and toldto
cto the Imperial Mansion right away.

"I didn't tell you because | was worried it might be a false lead, | didn't want to get your hopes up for nothing, so
| thought I'd confirm Mr. Lysander's location first before reporting back to you."
He continued, “But as soon as | entered the room, | started feeling strange. | wanted to leave and call for help,
but | wouldn't move. Then you cin."
Thorian delivered the explanation he had rehearsed countless times, his tone smooth and convincing.
"After that, you should know what happened, Lady Valor. | think you mistookfor Mr. Lysander. When you were
leaving earlier, you even called out his name," Thorian added.
"Did | really call you Cassian?" Raven raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze fixed on Thorian as she scrutinized the
subtle changes in his expression.
"Lady Valor, | know how much Mr. Lysander means to you, but he's been gone for so long. Don't you think he
might have moved on by now? Why not-" Thorian suggested.
"You should rest here for now." Without sparing Thorian another glance, Raven turned and walked out of Room
1808.
It seems the mastermind lured Thorian to the Imperial Mansion, intending to trap him in this room to execute
their plan, but they didn't anticipate a hiccup along the way.
As luck would have it, Cassian slipped away while Raven was out, forcing the mastermind to use the Soul
Starcard to tamper with Thorian's memories.
Right now, Raven's biggest question was why Cassian left without saying a word.
What she didn't notice was how Thorian's expression turned cold and sinister the moment she walked out of the
room.
"Why?" Thorian growled, his voice sharp with frustration. "Why is it always Cassian you care about?"
Thorian could handle Raven's anger, even her venting at him. But what he couldn't accept was her walking away
as if nothing had happened.
It seemed that to Raven, he was just a disposable tool, something she could toss aside without hesitation. Even
after they'd had sex, Raven discarded him without any hesitation.
Thorian had assumed the aphrodisiac he used would leave Raven and Cassian dazed and vulnerable, but he
didn't realize the drug had no effect on either of them.
Raven held back from questioning him further because she believed the Soul Starcard had already altered
Thorian's
memories.
If Ashley hadn't used the Soul Starcard on Thorian at just the right time, and if he didn't still have svalue to
Raven, he would have been killed long before.
Thorian glared at the large bed in front of him, his face dark with murderous intent. "You could've stayed out of
this mess, but no, you had to crunning straight into trouble.
"You're not even worthy of Raven, yet you keep clinging to her like spathetic parasite. If you're killed, you've
got no one to blbut yourself."
To Thorian, Cassian was nothing more than a worthless

Thorian was absolutely certain that Cassian w Successfully unlocked! Benson's

But what Thorian never expected was that, just as Benson's men were dragging Cassian out of the Imperial
