Chapter 917
“Hold on. I’ve already returned to Forreb,” Raven replied.
“What did you say?” Keegan gasped. “You’ve already returned to Forreb?”
‘Her strength hasn’t fully recovered yet. Coming back now was dangerous!‘ Keegan thought.
“I’m in Frihamen City now,” Raven said.
“Frihamen City?” Keegan rubbed his temples. Having lived in Deariton for so long, he had no idea there was such a small city in Forreb, “It’s not a primary city, right?” he asked.
“It’s a tertiary city,” Raven said, “but I plan to return to Deariton after a while.”
“What? You plan to come back soon? Isn’t that too rushed?” Keegan said disapprovingly. “Raven, why don’t you wait a little longer? With your current condition, coming back to Deariton is extremely dangerous.”
“It’s alright. I’ve been missing for so long. There probably aren’t many people in Deariton who still remember me now.“”
“But…” Keegan still disagreed with Raven returning so soon. However, seeing her already make up her mind, he could only sigh helplessly.
“Alright, I understand. Don’t worry. Your other three masters and I will ensure you are not harmed again. Be careful not to drink unknown water, and disclose your identity easily. If you run into trouble, mention me or your other masters‘ names.”
Still worried, Keegan went through every possible precaution he could think of with Raven before reluctantly hanging up the phone. After hanging up, his expression turned somber.
Now that Yann and the others had already left Deariton, and he was also about to leave without a fixed return date, there was a chance Raven might encounter danger if she returned during their absence.
“No, I must find a way to protect Raven.” Keegan shouted toward the door, “Can somebody please get Samantha here!”
Keegan had taken in Samantha Mathis four years ago. She was petite, clever, adorable, and around Raven’s age. She reminded Keegan of the missing Raven, and he thus took extra care of her. Samantha did not disappoint him. In just a few years, she had grown remarkably and was now his most capable subordinate.
“Mr. Brown, what can I do for you?” Skipping over happily and only restraining her steps when approaching the door, Samantha bowed respectfully and courteously before Keegan and then asked.
Keegan looked up at her and said, “Yann and I will be leaving Deariton with no fixed return date. While we’re away, you’ll take charge of the selection
event.”
“Yes!” Samantha replied immediately, her expression turning serious.
“And also, I need you to protect someone named Raven Valor. If she comes to Deariton, you must take all her instructions without any questions.” Keegan paused, then added, “If anyone inquires about her identity, tell them she’s the predetermined candidate for the selection event, someone who is expected to become a trusted aide to the future heir., Do you understand?”
“Yes, I’ll remember your orders.” Samantha was a little curious. Keegan had never shown such concern for anyone before. ‘Who exactly is this Raven?
she wondered.
However, even though curiosity stirred in her heart, she dared not ask. After giving her a few more instructions, Keegan let her go. Just as Samantha had left, Keegan hurriedly left Deariton, bringing along several bottles of pills with him.
