Chapter 1041 Raven's Request

The situation was almost identical to last time. Amy was in a coffee shop, and by her side, she had a friend. It wasn’t the same friend as last time, and they weren’t in the city of Slough.

As Amy thought back to the situation from before, she started to think how similar yet different everything was.

“I guess not everyone is working for the Grey Elephant gang like last time,” Amy said with a smile. “I came here because I want to know what happened to Tyson. He’s not involved in any of this. He has his own family too, a mother and father. If you hurt him, they will be upset, and losing someone... you must know how that feels.”

Opposite them, Raven had a strange smile on his face. They could all tell it was fake, a forced smile in the situation, almost creepy, as if he was about to snap at any moment.

White was also surprised at how confident Amy was, even in this situation.

“And that’s why I’m in this situation,” Raven said. “You know, Hawk and I, we only had each other. Sure, he would do stupid things from time to time, but didn’t we all when we were teenagers, things that we regretted?”

“Do you really think he deserved to die? To have my younger brother, my only family, taken away from me? In my quest to get rid of Gary... I did what I had to. I just wanted an eye for an eye, and I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.”

A hiss almost escaped from Raven’s teeth as he spoke those words, and for a moment, a flicker of strange black substance appeared across his eye, but it quickly reverted back.

“You want me to tell you what happened that night, and I told you everything,” Amy said. “Nothing has changed from back then.”

Now, the two of them had to wait for Raven’s response to all of this. To be honest, they were surprised that he hadn’t snapped back.

“It’s strange how things work,” Raven said. “I don’t know if it’s because there’s something wrong with me, something inside of me that I can’t get rid of, or it’s just true what they say.”

“Time will heal everything. As time has gone on, I’ve actually been able to accept what happened to my brother more. Don’t get me wrong, I still hate your brother... it’s just that the anger has lessened.”

“Like you said, a lot of people have been hurt in this, and it looks like my own life is now on the line as well. I don’t even have a place to sleep, a place to stay. Because it looks like I’ve made an enemy of every single one of the Kings.”

Raven paused there, almost as if he was reflecting on every decision he had made. When Amy looked closer, she noticed his clothes were remarkably dirty, and he had deep bags under his eyes.

She thought that might have been the look he was going for, but realized it was much more than that. Being an Altered was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but for Raven, he was now someone who couldn’t be accepted anywhere, in any city.

“Your friend from before, he’s alive, and I’ll tell both of you where he is,” Raven claimed. “But only if you do me one favor.”

“This guy,” White mumbled under her breath, “does he really think he has the right to be asking for favors?”

Raven ignored the comment from White and continued.

“I want you to set up a meeting with your brother. I think I have something that might interest him.”
