The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 272

Daniel was stunned. ‘Make the call for me? How could she have my grandfather’s contact information?‘

But before Daniel could wonder, Raven had already taken out her custom phone from her pocket, clicked on Lorne’s number, and dialed it.

After the call was connected, Raven spoke in the voice she used before her face was restored, “Hello, General Drakon.”

Almost as soon as Raven finished speaking, Lorne’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“General Valor, I was just about to call you.”

Raven raised an eyebrow. “Why are you looking for me?”

Daniel couldn’t hear the voice on the other end of the phone. When he heard Raven’s question, his alcohol–flushed face twisted in derision.

‘For a moment, I actually think that she really has my grandfather’s contact information. Now it seems that I’m obviously overthinking it.

‘She doesn’t even bother to pretend. Would my grandfather take the initiative to contact her? Who does she think she is?

‘What gives her the right to demand attention from the General of Vyrdenia?‘

Daniel then turned his head and gave the stout man a look, signaling him to make the call.

Daniel thought, ‘Let her keep playing pretend. It’ll buy time.

The stout man instantly understood Daniel’s meaning and hurriedly dialed Lorne’s number.

Meanwhile, Lorne’s grave tone continued through the phone.

“General Valor, Emperor Grant is seriously injured and in critical condition.

“Once he passes away, Vyrdenia will surely fall into chaos without a leader.

“Several senior military officials and I have discussed this carefully, and we all agree that you are the most suitable candidate for the new ruler.”

Raven pondered for a moment and then replied, “Emperor Grant won’t be dying anytime soon. There’s no urgency in appointing a new monarch. First, we’ll use this time to thoroughly reorganize domestic and overseas personnel and institutions. We’ll discuss succession once the situation stabilizes.”

Seeing Raven’s serious expression, Daniel couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

Daniel thought, ‘Is this woman really not afraid of death, or is she pretending? She even dares to make up a new monarch? If word of this gets out, she could be shot, or even her family could be implicated.

On the other end of the phone, Lorne nodded seriously after hearing Raven’s words.

Raven glanced at Daniel and smiled faintly.

“It’s nothing serious, really. He just took out twelve bottles of 52–proof liquor and demanded I drink them all, stating that whether I lived or died afterward, he would no longer hold me accountable.

On the other end of the phone, Lorne’s heart almost stopped beating when he heard Raven’s words.

Before Lorne could say anything, Daniel’s extremely disdainful voice came into Raven’s ears.

“Girl, haven’t you acted enough?”

“If this is my grandpa on the other end of the phone, I’ll eat your phone.

+50

“But if it’s not my grandpa, I’ll let you know the consequences of offending the highest authority of the Vyrdenian Military!”
