Chapter 438 Hand Over The S–Rank Invitation

The crowd in the hall froze, their eyes drawn to the Hiemal Court insignia stitched onto the collars of the newcomers‘ uniforms. Gasps rippled through the room as a palpable tension filled the air.

Antonio, half–kneeling on the ground in pain, caught sight of the arrivals. Despite the agony twisting his features, his expression shifted to one of solemn respect.

“My lord!” he called out, his voice strained but reverent.

The leader of the Hiemal Court cast a cold, sidelong glance at Antonio, his expression unreadable.

Without a word, he gestured to the members standing behind him.

The Hiemal Court members moved swiftly, securing all the exits of the banquet hall with practiced precision.

The sight of their airtight formation sent a wave of unease through the crowd, leaving everyone tense and uneasy.

Under the watchful and uncertain gazes of the crowd, the leader’s eyes finally landed on Raven, who stood surrounded by police officers, their guns trained on her.

Before Marcus could say anything, Ellie suddenly dashed toward him, her voice filled with urgency. “Mr. Hiernal, you’re here!”

“Mr. Hiemal?”

The crowd around them froze in shock, their expressions a mix of disbelief and awe.

“Marcus Hiemal, the Vice Master of the Hiemal Court?”

“Isn’t he the champion of the last Combat Tournament and a renowned neurosurgeon with extensive experience?”

“I heard he received an A–Level invitation to this year’s World Medical Conference!”

“Meeting Mr. Hiemal in person is such an incredible honor!”

Despite the wave of admiration, Marcus’s expression remained calm and composed, showing no sign of being affected. He shifted his gaze from Raven, who was surrounded by police officers, to Ellie standing before him. “Where is she?”

Ellie quickly pointed at Raven, her tone sharp and accusatory. “That’s Raven! The woman I told you about, pretending to be a member of the Hiemal Court!”

Marcus’s gaze turned icy as he stared at Raven.

“Who gave you the nerve to impersonate a member of the Hiemal Court?” His voice was sharp and unyielding.

“So, you’re the Vice Master of the Hiemal Court?” Raven raised an eyebrow, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she sized him up, thinking to herself. ‘My brother’s taste in subordinates is getting worse and worse.

Marcus’s eyes darkened, his gaze as cold as frost, as he took in Raven’s fearless demeanor.

“The rules of the Hiemal Court are simple. Anyone caught impersonating us will be executed without mercy!” His words were chilling and absolute.

But then, his tone shifted, a calculating edge creeping into his voice.

“You’re young and clueless, so I’ll give you one last chance,” he said, his gaze unwavering. “Hand over the S–Rank invitation, and I’ll let you live.”

Before stepping into the villa, Marcus had already heard from Ellie that Raven possessed an S–Rank invitation.

To him, Raven’s life was worth far less than the value of that S–Rank invitation.

Ellie smirked, her lips curling into a venomous smile as she glanced at Raven.

‘Since Raven ruined my future in medicine, then she won’t get the glory I can’t have either! Ellie thought.

Knowing Marcus would stop at nothing to claim the S–Rank invitation, Ellie had deliberately tipped him off while he was nearby.
