The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439 How Ruthless Your Plan

Under Ellie’s piercing gaze, Raven gave Marcus a faint smirk, but her eyes were devoid of any warmth.

“You want the S–Rank invitation in my hand?”

Before Marcus could respond, Raven’s voice, cold enough to send chills down spines, echoed clearly for everyone to hear:

“Why don’t you take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself if you’re even worthy?”

The crowd collectively gasped, the sound of sharp intakes of breath filling the room.

“Is she out of her mind?” someone whispered in shock.

“That’s Marcus, the Vice Master of the Hiemal Court! Who gave her the audacity to speak to him like that?”

“I’m guessing she’s acting so brazenly only because she’s counting on Mr. Reed’s support.”

“But she probably doesn’t realize that even Mr. Reed would have to show Mr. Hiemal some respect if he were here.”

No one could believe Raven had the nerve to openly provoke the Vice Master of the Hiemal Court.

From Marcus and Ellie’s conversation, the crowd pieced together that Raven had once dared to impersonate a member of the Hiemal Court.

That alone was a crime punishable by death a thousand times over.

Now, Marcus was offering her a chance to trade the invitation for her life. It was a deal that was already the best she could hope for.

If Raven had any sense, she’d drop to her knees, beg for forgiveness, and hand over the invitation immediately.

If Marcus was in a good mood, he might even spare her life.

But what was Raven doing?

She didn’t beg for mercy or apologize. Instead, she had the audacity to talk back to Marcus.

The Hiemal Court’s influence spanned the globe.

Even the Ortega family treated the Court’s higher–ups with utmost respect, never daring to show the slightest neglect. And now, Raven dared to speak to Marcus in such an arrogant tone. She was definitely trying to dig her own grave. Marcus’s face darkened at Raven’s words.

His voice was sharp and venomous, carrying a chilling killing intent.

“Impersonating a member of the Hiemal Court is an unforgivable crime. If you don’t hand over the invitation, I’ll have no choice but to kill you!”

Raven faced Marcus’s aggressive threats with unwavering calm, her expression steady.

She looked at him and said lightly, “Why don’t you ask your Court Master yourself? Let’s see if he says my identity is fake.” “Ridiculous!” Marcus laughed coldly, his anger barely contained. “With your status, you wouldn’t even qualify to meet our Court Master, yet you dare to spout such nonsense here! If you don’t hand over the invitation now, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the hatt

As soon as Marcus finished speaking, a crowd stormed into the banquet hall

Raven had a habit of suppressing her aura, so in their eyes, she was nothing more than a clever but fragte wornan, utterly powerless.

From the second floor, Estella gazed down at the eager crowd in the banquet hall below. Her expression turned serious as she looked at Raven.
