Chapter 447 Think About The Greater Good?
Marcus’s face froze on the spot.
Saxon’s words were like a sharp and unrelenting slap, landing squarely on his face.
He had assumed that as the Vice Master of the Hiemal Court, Saxon would at least give him some respect. But to his surprise, Saxon was completely unsparing.
Before Marcus could even react, Saxon chuckled lightly and spoke again, “You? Pie. Even if your Court Master were here, he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on her!”
What a joke. Hiemaly was the Court Master of the Hiemal Court.
If Hiemaly were here, this fool who dared to badmouth Raven would’ve been dead a hundred times over by now.
Still, Saxon had no intention of revealing the connection between Hieraly and Raven, nor would he let Hiemaly find Raven
so soon.
He knew that, in their past life, Hiemaly had constantly badmouthed him in front of Raven, always trying to hog her attention.
Now that he’d found Raven first, he was determined to use this chance to show his sister that the one who truly loved her was him, not that cold–faced Hiemaly.
Saxon was so thrilled about finding Raven that he completely missed the hidden implications in Marcus’s earlier words.
If he had thought it through, he might’ve realized there was something suspicious about Raven pretending to be a member of the Hiemal Court.
Benedict, who was tugging at the corner of Raven’s clothes, glanced at Saxon’s expression and immediately guessed what he was thinking.
He let out a helpless sigh.
This silly man’s brain always seemed to short–circuit at critical moments. No wonder Hiemaly always managed to outsmart him.
Meanwhile, Marcus and his group looked visibly upset after hearing Saxon’s words.
Marcus glared at Saxon, his lips pressing into a thin, tight line.
“Mr. Valor, I respect your authority in the Star God Association, but whether our Court Master would lay a finger on her or not isn’t for you to decide.”
The crowd nodded in agreement, murmuring their approval.
Unaware of any connection between Hiemaly and Raven, the crowd saw it as Saxon stubbornly shielding Raven, blatantly disregarding the Hiemal Court’s dignity.
“Mr. Valor, she’s caused a massive disaster today. Don’t let her tarnish the reputation of the entire Star God Association!”
“Exactly, Mr. Valor, think about the greater good.”
Antonio and John’s faces were filled with frustration and unwillingness.
They had been so sure Raven would be riddled with bullets by the Foterik Squad’s soldiers. Yet, over ten minutes had passed, and not only was she unharmed, but she had also gained the protection of the Star God Association’s president.
Saxon glanced at the crowd, who were desperately trying to persuade him to abandon Raven. He suddenly chuckled mockingly. “The greater good? Really?”
Marcus stared at Saxon, his expression hardening as he slowly clenched his fists.
“Mr. Valor, this isn’t just about her pretending to be part of the Hiemal Court. She killed a royal from the Sunset Empire and injured the military commander. Are you sure you want to go against the Sunset Empire’s royal family and military?”
Saxon let out a cold chuckle. “The Sunset Empire? Why don’t you ask their emperor if he dares to challenge the Star Gr Association?”
Without giving Marcus a chance to respond, Saxon turned to the crowd and declared, “I don’t care which faction you’re from or what grudge you hold against Raven. If anyone dares to mess with her again, they’re picking a fight with the Star God Association!”
Saxon’s words made the entire banquet hall fall silent, as if the air itself had frozen.
No one had expected Saxon to risk offending everyone present for the sake of a seemingly ordinary member of the Star God Association.
The leader of the Foterik military shifted uncomfortably. As a member of the Star God Association himself, he had never even heard of Raven.
