Green took the severed head and examined it for a moment before looking at Raven. After a brief silence, he asked, "Why didn't you take his soul? You and I both know how valuable the soul of a Legendary Rank powerhouse is to a practitioner of the Necromancy School."
A smile seemed to cross Raven's indistinct face. "Baron, consider it a gift from me. I believe you'll find it useful. All I ask is that when you report to Lady Cyrabelle, you don't mention what happened to Black Snake and Backstab."
Green's expression did not change, but he was puzzled. Those two Dark Division Assassins had clearly died under suspicious circumstances. Why would Raven bring it up himself?
Without Raven's remark, Green might have had his suspicions, but he probably would not have gone around spreading rumors. Besides, outsiders could hardly interfere in Shadow Division affairs. Even Cyrabelle would have trouble giving orders to its Assassination Squad when they were not on a mission.
