Cassian’s expression turned cold upon hearing that.
He said, “You said before that if I came with you to this party, you’d call someone from the Cloudshadow Sect.”
“You actually believed that?” Felipe looked at him like he was the biggest fool alive.
Cassian was living under the Cherry family’s roof, forced to follow their every command. Felipe thought Cassian was foolish to believe he would beg the leader of the Cloudshadow Sect for help, all for the sake of some lowborn woman.
If the leader ever found out that Cassian had ties to a filthy woman like Raven, who came from the lower realm, she’d start questioning her relationship with the Cherry family.
Felipe mocked, “Cassian. Stop dreaming!”
Someone nearby, having pieced together the context from Felipe and Cassian’s exchange, said, “You know what kind of place the Inspection Buremat They don’t just arrest people on a whim. Anyone who gets taken in has committed a serious crime.”
The person added, “And the Raven you’re ta

“Once they’re locked in there, it’s a death sentence. There’s no way they’re letting her out. You might as well give up now!”
Hearing that, Cassian clenched his fists, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.
He didn’t believe for a second that Raven was dead. With her skills and intellect, she would definitely find a way to deal with the Inspection Bureau.
But what worried him was that she might be holding back, refusing to reveal her identity or contact the Valor family in order to protect the bigger picture.
Until the Primary Personality woke up, he had no choice but to stay with the
Cherry family and wait for news.
Cassian cursed inwardly, ‘Damn it. What’s taking that bastard so long to wake up
this time?‘
For the first time in his life, Cassian felt a strong urge to switch bodies with him immediately.
Despite his usual aloof and competitive demeanor, constantly fighting with the Primary Personality for dominance, Cassian knew when to step back and not act recklessly when it mattered.
But since he couldn’t wake the other side now, he’d have to use his own methods to find out what happened to Raven.
With that thought, Cassian turned once more to Felipe. He said, “Call the leader of Cloudshadow Sect now. Ask her to contact someone at the Inspection Bureau and find out Raven’s situation.”
Felipe didn’t budge. “And who the hell are you to be ordering me around?”
Cassian continued, “She was taken from your Cherry family’s estate
Felipe paused for a second, then scoffed.
You’re not worried your family might get dragged into this?”
He said, “What a joke. Everyone in Frihamen City knows about the Cherry family’s relationship with the Cloudshadow Sect. What kind of suicidal idiot at the bureau would dare go against us?”
He added, “But if you want to know what happened to Raven, I could ask for you…”
Felipe’s eyes slid to the coffee table, where several bottles of liquor were placed. A sly glint flickered across his face. He’d just thought of a wicked idea. “As long as you agree to one little condition.” condition.”

“What condition?” Cassian asked.
Felipe said, “You chug this bottle of vodka in one go. Finish it, and I’ll make the call”
It was a bottle of vodka he’d heard about, a brutal spirit. Just a single shot could floor someone. If Cassian tried to down the whole bottle had cra pass out or make a complete fool of himself.
Felipe was determined to humiliate Cassian. He looked at him with mockery and provocation in his eyes.
Hé said, “Aren’t you the one always claiming you’d do anything for Raven? What, can’t even handle a simple little request?”
“If I drink it, you’ll call her?” Cassian asked coldly.
Felipe replied, “Of course. That is, if you’ve got the guts!”
Felipe never had any intention of making that call. He didn’t even have Lady Valor’s number. He was just burning with jealousy and wanted Cassian to make a fool of himself in front of everyone.
Once Cassian drank the whole bottle, he’d be a drunken mess, and by then, he wouldn’t even remember the phone call.
As soon as Felipe finished speaking, the rich heirs around them started chanting. “Drink! Drink! Drink!”
