The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382 Princess Lola’s Gift

As soon as Ellie finished speaking, the male doctors around her all froze for a beat.

The next moment, their gazes toward Raven subtly changed.

After all, the World Medical Conference typically only allowed invited doctors to attend. Even being present without an official invitation was generally prohibited.

But, as with most things, there were exceptions.

Some doctors who had received B–level or higher invitations had, in past years, brought others along.

Occasionally, beautiful female doctors had used their looks to coax such invitees into sneaking them in.

Up until now, everyone’s attention had been focused on Raven’s stunning appearance. But after Ellie’s not–so–subtle reminder, several of the men began to consider another possibility.

Even Johnny, who had first expressed admiration for Raven, now looked at her with a bit more scrutiny.

Raven felt the sudden shift in the air, every glance now tinged with doubt or speculation–all thanks to a single sentence from Ellie.

Interesting, she thought, raising a brow slightly. ‘Just one line, and she stirred up the whole mood. This woman was more calculating than she looked.‘

Still, Raven had no intention of playing this game. She had come to the Sunset Empire for one reason: to find Lola, and every minute wasted here could cost her time she didn’t have.

She gave Ellie a faint glance, then addressed the group calmly, “I have some things to take care of. I hope we’ll meet again.” She didn’t bother mentioning her S–level invitation.

Bragging about it would only raise more doubts. If she flashed it here, they wouldn’t just think it was fake–they might even cause her more trouble.

With that, Raven turned and headed for the terminal exit.

The doctors all stared at her retreating figure, stunned.

“She’s gone?”

Even Ellie was momentarily caught off guard. ‘That reaction… could I have been wrong?‘

Johnny’s face flashed with clear regret.

He’d actually dared to suspect a woman like her of such petty tricks.

Unforgivable.

He had to fix Raven’s impression of him.

With that in mind, Johnny lifted a foot to chase after her.

But just then, over twenty individuals dressed in the royal uniforms of the Sunset Empire approached quickly. “Doctors, thank you for your hard journey.” An elderly man in his fifties stepped forward, greeting them with deep respect.

“Originally, we were going to take you to your accommodations for a day of rest. But the Princess’s condition has worsened. The Vyrdenian doctors have had no success. I must trouble you to come to the palace immediately.

“Please be assured, should anyone be able to ease Her Highness’s suffering, Princess Lola herself will present a grand reward.”

The moment Rupert finished speaking, Raven–already several steps ahead–suddenly froze in her tracks. ‘Princess Lola?‘

She turned her head, eyes fixed on Rupertly man. The other doctors‘ expressions grew more serious as well.
