The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77

13

The moment those words hit the air, every soldier in the area turned their heads toward Rhea like they were watching a damn soap opera unfold. ‘Stealing her boyfriend?! Hold up, hold up–the instructor’s the one pulling that kind of shameless stunt?

‘And, damn, even if you gave her to us, we wouldn’t take her. What kind of blind dude would wanna date that?‘

Meanwhile, the second Caleb saw Rhea, his whole face lit up like Christmas came early.

He thought he’d have to suffer through a few more painful hours of being suppressed by Raven. He thought he’d be stuck here, enduring the humiliation. But now? Now, he was saved.

Caleb squared his shoulders and shot Raven a look filled with pure glee, thinking, ‘Oh, sweetheart, you’re so screwed now.’

His thoughts were practically screaming, ‘I don’t care how tough you are–at the end of the day, you’re still just a woman.

And Vyrdenia? It’s still a man’s world. You think they’re really gonna give you any real power? Please. You’ve already hit your ceiling. Lieutenant general is the highest you’ll ever go.

There’s no way in hell the top brass would ever let a woman become a general. But my future father–in–law? That man’s this close to making general in the next ten years.

And you? You’re nothing compared to that. The moment Rhea opens her mouth, you’re done.‘

As Caleb was gloating in his head, Rhea was already marching over, flanked by Carlos and five family guards.

Raven looked at Rhea, who was approaching her quickly, with an indifferent expression. It wasn’t until Rhea was almost next to her that she said, “What did you call me?”

Rhea lifted her chin and let out a nasty little laugh. “I called you a bitch. Because that’s what you are. What, got a problem with it?”

The nine soldiers were living for this drama, thinking, ‘Finally, someone with the guts to say it out loud.‘ If they didn’t have to worry about, you know, consequences, they probably would’ve cheered.

And Caleb? The pride on his face could’ve powered a small city. He thought, ‘See that? That’s my girlfriend. The daughter of a lieutenant general. And this little nobody? She’s about to learn exactly who she messed with.”

Raven didn’t flinch. Didn’t get mad. Didn’t even blink. She just nodded once. Then, she took a step forward.

Rhea barely spared her a glance, completely unfazed. She didn’t feel the slightest sense of danger, so there wasn’t even a flicker of fear on her face.

As Raven stopped right in front of her, Rhea raised a brow, her tone dripping with amusement. “What, want to apologize? That works too. Just shout ‘I was wrong, I’m a man–stealing whore‘ three times, and I’ll let this slide.”

“Otherwise…” Her smirk widened. “My daddy’s a lieutenant general. I can make sure you don’t last a damn day in the military.”

The nine soldiers nearby all sucked in a sharp breath. A second ago, they thought this was just some random girl getting dragged out for being a homewrecker. Turns out, she was a lieutenant general’s daughter.

Their gazes shifted to Raven, a hint of pity surfacing in their eyes.

From where they stood, no matter how capable Raven was, she was still young, still a woman, and the fact that she’d been assigned to lead their pre- training meant she was probably, at best, a colonel.

Hell, she might even just be a captain. Someone like that? In front of a lieutenant general’s daughter? She might as well be a damn cadet.

They thought, ‘Damn, what the hell was Raven thinking, going after a lieutenant general’s daughter’s man? She’s got a death wish.

Lucky for her, all she has to do is say a few words and call it a day. If she doesn’t… Well, let’s just say she won’t be in this military much longer.’
