The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 Not Afraid

The moment Raven stepped forward, a flicker of surprise crossed the faces of many family heads.

Jedidiah stiffened, just briefly.

Then his eyes slowly swept toward her, a mocking smile curling across his lips.

But Raven said nothing. She simply walked up to Caleb, knelt down beside his battered body, and calmly fed him a pill.

Caleb, barely conscious, instinctively opened his mouth and swallowed.

As the medicine melted into a warm liquid and slid down his throat, its effects spread quickly through his body.

He forced his eyes open–and the first thing he saw was Raven’s face, close, calm, expressionless.

He struggled to speak, voice hoarse and breath faint. “Boss… sorry… I embarrassed

you…”

Raven looked at him, her tone flat, almost indifferent. “Train harder when we get back.”

“Yes,” Caleb croaked immediately. His voice was fragile, but there was a clear steel in it -unshakable, resolute.

Raven’s lips quirked, ever so slightly.

Then she rose to her feet, eyes shifting toward the leader of the Sunset Empire standing beside Benson.

A silent pressure unfurled from her like a rising tide–cold, commanding, suffocating.

Everyone around instinctively held their breath.

A ripple of whispers broke out from the watching crowd.

“Lieutenant General Valor… she’s something else. Not a hint of fear, even standing in front of Mr. Macy and the Sunset Empire’s leader.”

“She’s not even twenty–five, right? You think she stands a chance against Jedidiah?”

“I doubt it. If she really could take him, she wouldn’t have waited this long while Caleb got beaten to a pulp.”

“Exactly. Jedidiah’s definitely an Elite Warrior. Even if she is too, she’s still a woman- and like it or not, men just have the upper hand when it comes to raw combat strength.”

As murmurs spread, the Sunset Empire’s leader felt the weight of Raven’s unapologetic stare. His expression soured.
