The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175 Execution

The moment Raven’s words landed, a deathly silence fell over the courtyard.

In the next breath, every pair of eyes turned toward her–some wide in disbelief, others narrowed like they were already watching a dead woman speak.

It was one thing to threaten a high–ranking officer from Sunset Empire. But to say that -to Benson?

She was just a lieutenant general. If it weren’t for her authority over the Hundred–Man Unit selections, most of these people wouldn’t even bother remembering her name.

Yet now, this so–called rising star dared to throw herself into the fire in front of not one, but two generals?

Did she really think her so–called talent and the favor of the new commander made her untouchable?

The Sunset Empire general, who had looked ready to erupt just moments ago, suddenly relaxed.

A slow smile spread across his face as he turned to Benson with feigned civility. “Mr. Macy, it seems this lieutenant doesn’t think much of her superior. Perhaps even less of

you.”

Benson said nothing at first. His gaze, cold and razor–sharp, locked onto Raven like a blade against her throat.

Then he gave a simple order to the men behind him, his voice cold. “Arrest her. Insulting a superior officer is punishable by death under military law.”

But before the soldiers could take a step, Raven’s voice rang out again–this time even colder, even sharper, like ice cracking beneath their feet.

“A superior?” she scoffed, her words slicing through the tension like a whip. “If you weren’t the brother of Vyrdenia’s so–called ruler, would you even dare dream of sitting in a general’s chair? A disgrace like you wouldn’t make it past captain. As for executing me… as a fellow general, I’m afraid you don’t have the authority.”

Her words dropped like thunder.

The people who’d just been sighing over her impending doom now stood frozen, their expressions flickering between shock and disbelief.

The thought, ‘Fellow general? Is she saying… she is the new commander? Impossible.

There was no way the Vyrdenia military would hand over supreme command to a girl barely in her twenties.

Even Benson stood stunned for a beat. Then, slowly, the fury returned to his eyes, colder and sharper than before.

“So that’s your angle,” he sneered. “You know you’re facing death, so you’re grasping at

Another scoffed, “She might be talented, but she’s still a little girl. There’s no way she’s fit to lead the entire military.”
