Chapter 80
Lorne’s face darkened at Rhea’s skeptical and disdainful tone.
Simultaneously, Rhea felt a crushing wave of pressure wash over her.
“Do you think I have the time to joke around with a little girl like you?”
Rhea stared at Lorne, his expression dead serious. Her mind was a complete mess.
‘No, he’s not kidding?‘
‘This girl, who looks even younger than me, is a lieutenant general or higher in the military?”
After several long breaths, she finally found her voice again.
She stared blankly at Lorne and asked, “How… how old is she?”
“You have no right to know her information. I’m asking you, did you just say you wanted her to leave this world in the most miserable way possible?”
Rhea’s heart pounded uncontrollably as she looked at Lorne’s cold and serious face.
She suddenly realized that if Raven was a lieutenant general, her threat to kill her might be considered attempted murder of a high–ranking military officer.
If that were the case, she’d be ruined for life!
Rhea couldn’t help but tremble slightly at the thought. She weakly replied to Lorne, “I… I was just joking…”
However, Lorne continued to look at her coldly, his expression showing no sign of softening.
“The words have already left your mouth. No one cares if you were threatening her or joking. You’re an adult now, and you need to take responsibility for the things you say and do.”
Without waiting for Rhea to say anything else, he turned to the two soldiers he had brought with him.
“Take her into custody. First to the Bastion Prison, then await the military tribunal’s decision.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
The two soldiers quickly responded,
Rhea shifted back instinctively as the two soldiers approached.
She slowly clenched her fists, her face filled with anger and resentment as she looked at Lorne.
“General, you can’t do this to me!”
“My father fought for Vyrdenia on the battlefield for over twenty years to become a high–ranking officer.”
She suddenly pointed at Raven. “And her!”
“What has she done for Vyrdenia? She wasn’t even born yet when my father was risking his life on the battlefield.”
“She doesn’t deserve the position of lieutenant general. And she certainly doesn’t deserve to have you treat me, the daughter of a lieutenant general, like this.”
Lorne never imagined he’d be lectured by a little girl pointing a finger at his nose.
