Chapter 440 How Dare You!
No matter what, today, Estella would make sure that Raven bowed her head and submitted before her
But to her surprise, Raven didn’t beg. She didn’t even spare her a glance.
Estella’s expression soured instantly.
“Raven, you’re a medical genius. Don’t gamble with your life like this.”
Her words were met with nothing but silence.
Estella’s face grew even darker.
Before she could say anything else, a young man dressed in casual white stepped forward from the crowd
He turned to Marcus with a refined smile and said, “I’ll handle this. Mr. Hiemal, I trust you’ll remember this favor from the royal family.”
Without waiting for Marcus’s reply, he raised his hand and struck directly at Raven’s chest.
In an instant, a sharp crack rang out.
The chilling sound of bones breaking echoed throughout the banquet hall.
Estella shook her head and sighed inwardly. ‘What a shame.
A medical prodigy who could have served the Ortega family would end up like this. But Raven had no one to blame but herself.
Yet, when Estella turned to look at Raven, expecting to see her in a pitiful state, her eyes widened in disbelief.
She wasn’t the only one stunned. Shock rippled across the faces of everyone present.
“How… how is this even possible?”
Under the stunned and disbelieving gazes of the crowd, Raven stood completely still, unfazed.
She calmly raised her hand and grabbed the young man’s wrist.
In an instant, his wrist hung limply at an unnatural angle, as if the bones had been shattered.
Those who hadn’t yet seized the chance to act were left in a whirlwind of emotions.
None of them could have imagined that the one with broken bones would be the overly confident young man in white,
rather than Raven.
But what happened next was even harder for them to accept.
Raven swiftly withdrew her hand, stepped back, and with a flick of her wrist, sent a silver needle flying.
With a faint sound, the needle pierced through the air and embedded itself directly into the young man’s forehead.
“Ugh…”
The man in white let out a muffled groan, unable to say another word before collapsing backward, lifeless.
The banquet hall was instantly enveloped in a deathly silence.
The warriors who had previously disregarded Raven now wore pale and grim expressions.
Some of the people present didn’t even realize it themselves, but their gazes toward Raven now carried a distinct trace of fear.
Her speed was terrifying.
They hadn’t even caught a clear glimpse of Raven’s movements, and yet the white–clad youth was already dead.
If it had been them in his place, they couldn’t even begin to imagine the consequences.
“You deserve to die!”
The man who had accompanied the white–clad youth was both shocked and furiou He immediately shouted at her in rage.
“Do you even know who he was?”
Raven let out a soft laugh. “I don’t know who he was, nor do I care to find out.”
