As soon as the patrol chief said that, all the patrol officers around bowed to Raven respectfully.
In a life–or–death situation, dignity and pride are worthless. If begging could save their lives, they would do literally anything
“Please, milady, have mercy! We truly know
we were wrong. We beg you
to spare us
this once. We won’t dare make the same mistake again!
“Those fools who locked you up have already been killed by you. We’ll investigate thoroughly and turn over any remaining culprits to you for punishment. Please, please calm your an

He didn’t dare approach her himself, so he tried sending his subordinates. But the normally obedient officers now glanced at each other in fear. No one dared take that step forward.
“What are you all standing there for? Go check!” The patrol chief gave a sharp slap to the nearest rookie. The young man looked like he was about to cry, his body trembling as he involuntarily took a step back.
The rookie said, “Boss, I… I don’t dare…”

“My lady, let me help you up!” The patrol chief scrambled to his feet, forcing a smile as he carefully inched toward her.
But Raven ignored him. Instead, she pressed a hand against the floor and stood up on her own. The moment she rose to her feet, the patrol chief and all the officers behind him immediately dropped to their knees like dominoes.
