The moment Raven spoke, a deathly quiet descended upon the room.

No one had expected Raven to demand that the daughter of a three–star lieutenant general kneel before her, let alone demand three kowtows.

She was insane!

Absolutely insane!

Rhea stared blankly into Raven’s calm eyes, feeling a strange sense of dread.

But in the next moment, she snapped back to reality, turning to the butler and five guards behind her, who were still stunned into inaction.

They had been with Rhea for over a decade and had never seen anyone dare to disrespect her after she revealed her identity, much less demand that she

kneel.

Years of comfortable living had left them utterly unprepared for this reality.

Seeing their dazed expressions, Rhea’s anger flared.

“Are you all brain–dead?”

“Attack! Get her! I want this bitch dead!”

The five guards snapped out of it.

Their eyes turned cold, and they charged at Raven simultaneously.

But, five seconds later.

All five guards lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

Everyone stared at Raven as if she were some kind of monster.

All they had seen was a blur, and then the five men were down.

Was this even humanly possible?

The nine soldiers felt a surge of relief.

They had sensed Raven’s aura earlier and knew they were no match for her, which was why they hadn’t dared to oppose her decision.

Now, it seemed their decision was more than correct.

Otherwise, they would have ended up like the Jennings family’s guards.

Caleb’s expression when he looked at Raven changed, too.

He was genuinely afraid of Raven, whose terrifying strength was beyond his comprehension.

The Jennings family butler was the first to recover. He quickly retreated a few steps and pulled out his communicator, sending a message to Rhea’s father, Colonel Jennings, urging him to come immediately.

Raven saw the butler’s actions but didn’t bother to stop him.

Her gaze returned to Rhea, kneeling before her, her voice calm but firm, “Are you going to do it yourself, or do I have to help you?”

Rhea slowly looked up from the fallen guards.

When she looked at Raven, her heart was filled with a deep sense of panic.

Sensing Raven’s chilling gaze, she stammered, “You, you…”

In her terror, Rhea instinctively looked around.

Her gaze landed on Caleb, who was standing there dumbfounded.

Her eyes lit up, as if she had grasped a lifeline, “Caleb, help me!”

Caleb’s already stiff body froze as if turned to wood.

He wanted to rush over and shut Rhea’s mouth.

Help her?

How could he?

The five Jennings family guards were stronger than him, and they had been instantly taken down by Raven.

If he rushed over, he’d just be cannon fodder.

Caleb took a deep breath, but facing Raven’s gaze, he couldn’t even move a muscle.

But in the next moment, they realized that Raven’s “help her” didn’t mean Caleb helping Rhea against her, but helping Rhea perform the three kowtows!

Raven, however, didn’t even glance at her. She simply addressed Caleb, “Come here.”

Caleb nearly cried at Raven’s commanding tone. He had thought Raven was doomed once Rhea’s father arrived. But now, he was genuinely afraid of

Raven.

“Raven, I…” he stammered.
