The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

The moment Raven’s voice faded, a dead silence enveloped the scene.

Everyone stared blankly at the invitation that landed at Adam’s feet after hitting his face. They were all dumbfounded.

No one expected Raven to dare to throw the invitation into the butler’s face.

Even more so, no one expected Raven to be so fearless as to say such a thing to Adam.

At this moment, a thought arose in everyone’s mind: Raven was done here!

Even if the invitation she took out was real, and even if she somehow earned James’s respect, Adam still represented the Fuller family.

Now, Raven had slapped Adam in the face with the invitation, and this was equivalent to provoking the Fuller family.

And provoking the Fuller family in the face at the family banquet? The lightest thing that would happen to her today was to have her legs broken and

thrown out.

Looking at the butler, who was stunned in place because of the shock, a strange smile gradually appeared on Amber’s face.

Amber knew that her feeling was right. Raven was indeed not as weak as she was five years ago.

But Raven’s brain was even more stupid, thought Amber to herself. It seemed that she didn’t need to do anything today, and Raven wouldn’t end well.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the butler slowly came back to his senses.

Stiffly, he lowered his head, looked at the invitation at his feet, and slowly picked it up.

He opened the invitation and looked it over carefully several times, and then, his face became increasingly gloomy.

A moment later, he finally looked up, stared straight at Raven. His gaze sharp, as if it could freeze the air.

“Tell me,” Adam commanded, “Where did you get this invitation?”

Hearing his question, Raven just shrugged. “What you need to determine is whether this invitation is real. As for how I got it, what does it have to do with you?”

The moment Raven’s voice fell, there was a gasp of cold air from all around. Everyone thought Raven was doomed.

Adam, on the other hand, looked at Raven and sneered in anger.

“Do you know that the Fuller family’s invitations are graded?” he said. “There are no more than five people in the entire Bastion who can receive the level of invitation you have!”

“With your status as a junior of the Henderson family, let alone now, you wouldn’t even be qualified to receive this highest–level invitation in your next life!”

Everyone around was taken aback when they heard Adam’s words.

Because almost all the invitations were black and gold, just with different patterns on them, no one noticed that Raven’s invitation was of a different grade.

Hearing Adam’s words, their expressions changed again as they looked at Raven.

They thought that Raven had only offended Adam today, but they didn’t expect that her crime might be far more than this.

And just as everyone was secretly startled, Adam’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Raven, and he reprimanded with a serious and stern expression.

“Tell me! How did you get this invitation?” he continued.

However, before Raven could speak, Amber suddenly let out a sigh, her face full of grief and disappointment.

“Raven, you were locked up in the Bastion Prison for five years. I thought you would have changed for the better in those five years,” said Amber, acting pitiful.

“I didn’t expect that not only would you not turn over a new leaf after you got out, but you would go even further and even do something like steal an invitation. You really disappoint me.”

Most of the people around already had some guesses about the source of Raven’s invitation, and Amber’s words were tantamount to giving them an affirmation.

Immediately, the eyes of everyone looking at Raven showed more contempt and disdain.

“I was wondering how the people from the third–tier Henderson family got the invitation from the Fuller family,” one murmured. “So it was stolen!”

“Raven dared to steal things just after her was released? She really learned nothing from her lesson,” another agreed.

“Mr. Griffin said that no more than five people in the entire Bastion could get that kind of invitation. If the big shot whose invitation was stolen by her can’t come in, will the Fuller family suffer?”

Mr. Griffin’s heart clenched at the words. With hardly a moment’s hesitation, he glanced at the Fullers, now inches away from Raven, and barked, “Take her down! If she resists, execute her on the spot!”

“Yes, sir!” The Fullers responded.

In the next instant, they attacked Raven together, aiming for the most vulnerable parts of her body.

The surrounding hotel security guards, witnessing this, looked at Raven with a mixture of schadenfreude and anticipation.

They wanted to see how this woman, who had just claimed she could easily break their arms, would be begging for mercy.

They had no doubt that even if Raven were to beg Mr. Griffin for her life in the most humiliating and lowly manner, it would be useless.

After all, after Preston, the true bigwig, the Fuller family could not be insulted.

However, the next moment, bone–cracking sounds and screams suddenly echoed through the banquet hall.

Within a flash, all the dozen or so strong men of the Fuller family collapsed to the ground, each one clutching their arms, howling in pain.

After a moment of stunned silence, people around rubbed their eyes. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

At the same time, the smug smile on Amber’s lips suddenly froze.

She stared straight at Raven, who was still standing where she was, her expression as if she had seen a ghost.

Meanwhile, witnessing the chaos, a chill ran down the spines of the hotel’s bodyguards. They no longer doubted Raven’s previous words.

At the same time, a deep sense of relief arose in their hearts.

In their eyes now, there was an emotion called respect. That was admiration for the strong.

Then, a soft, pleasant, but aggressive voice entered the ears of everyone in the silent venue.

How is that possible? They all doubted what they had witnessed. Ms. Foster is the true hegemon of Bastion. How could Raven have anything to do with

her?
