Chapter 816
“No! Please, have mercy! She’s really not your Lady Valor!” The man was still trying to make a desperate last struggle.
He said, “My lords, you must believe me! That woman made detailed preparations in advance and found out information about your sect’s inner workings. Or maybe there’s a traitor among you feeding her information.
“Either way, she’s just a lowly commoner from the lower realm. There’s no way she could be your leader!
“And that woman is a compulsive liar! Back in the lower realm, she once impersonated the disciple of Mr. George Brown from Deariton! So she….
The man had been howling in defense, but suddenly it was like something got stuck in his throat. He couldn’t utter another word.
Because he had just remembered something. Back when Raven impersonated George’s disciple, another powerful figure, Keegan, had also left Forreb and traveled to the lower realm. And the destination was Broson City, where Raven was.
Keegan was one of the four power holders of the Brown family in Deariton. He was a master of both medicine and poison.
As the memory surfaced, the man’s eyes widened with fear. A second later, he rolled his eyes and fainted from sheer terror.
The executives, led by Timonthy, were all still shaken. None of them dared to question Raven’s identity now. The tone she used on that phone call had frightened them to their core.
Timonthy repeatedly wiped the sweat from his forehead. His hands trembled, and even his steps felt unsteady.
He said, “Heaven help me, I can’t handle such a fright. Did you hear Lady Valor’s tone just now? For a moment, I truly felt like she could kill me through the phone.”
Timonthy added, “How could we have been so foolish as to let that bastard manipulate us into doubting her identity? He just wanted to stir up trouble and buy himself time. He dragged us into it. If Lady Valor holds us accountable, we’re all doomed.”
Though these executives were some of the most powerful figures within the Cloudshadow Sect, they were nothing but dust before Raven. They had no standing to boast,
They had witnessed her true strength before. And after all these years of disappearance, she had returned even more terrifying than five years ago.
Timonthy remarked, “We really let our guard down. Just because Lady Valor was a bit gentler with us, we lost our sense of boundaries and thought we could speak freely.”
Timonthy was full of regret. But he couldn’t take back what he had said. Thinking of how Raven hung up without a word, he wanted to slap himself right then and there.
While the executives were stomping and beating their chests in regret over making that phone call, over in Frihamen City, a patrol chief was trembling as he looked at Raven, who had just put her phone away.
He pleaded, “Please, spare me! I have parents and children to care for. I don’t want to die like this!”
He didn’t know which foot brought her back and locked her in the confinement room, but that was dumb.
“Boss… who is she? Why is she so terrifyingly strong?” a rookie who had recently joined the bureau asked nervously. “We’re the offic there anything we can do against her?”
rol force, Isn’t
“For your own sake, don’t speak so carelessly,” the patrol chief warned, gesturing for him to keep quiet. “Right now, the only way we survive this is to get down on our knees and beg for forgiveness.”
