The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 What Do You Think?

Seeing the obvious enticement in the old man’s eyes, Raven couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.

She replied, “Hearing you say that, that position is indeed quite attractive.”

Hearing this, the old man gently stroked his beard, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face as he looked at Raven.” Girl, does this mean you’ve agreed?”

However, to his surprise, Raven just looked at him lightly and chuckled. “When did I say I agreed?”

The old man was slightly startled.

Then, a hint of puzzlement appeared in his eyes as he looked at Raven, “Becoming the emperor of Vyrdenia would only benefit you and not harm you. Can you give me a reason to refuse?”

Hearing this, Raven didn’t answer but asked instead, “If I become the emperor of Vyrdenia with the support of your family. and if you want me to do something, can I refuse?”

When the old man heard Raven’s words, his expression clearly stiffened for a moment.

Then, he hesitated for a moment and replied to Raven, “Under normal circumstances, my family won’t ask you to do too many things.”

“So, I’m still at the mercy of the family you belong to.” As she spoke, she looked at the old man with an indifferent expression and asked, “This is what you call ‘power over the world‘?”

After Raven finished speaking, the old man suddenly fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, “My dear, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.”

Hearing this, Raven suddenly smiled. “And I’ve never liked free things.

“The reason I stayed in the military to guard Vyrdenia is just to help a dead friend fulfill his wish.

“For now, I’m not interested in being the ruler of Vyrdenia. Even if I were, I would get it on my own, not because you handed it to me.”

Upon hearing her response, the old man deeply gazed at Raven for a moment, then sighed softly, “Alright, I understand.”

With that, he gently raised his hand, and a palm–sized, ink–black emerald token appeared in his palm.

He said, “Take this emerald token, and you can enjoy VIP treatment at all the businesses under the Parsons family’s control. Furthermore, you will have one opportunity to enter the Parsons family.

“Half a month later, we will hold a grand gathering of the entire family, an event that occurs once every decade. At that time, the other seven great families and top geniuses from countless nations will attend.

“In addition, rare and precious treasures that you may need might appear at the gathering…”

Speaking up to this point, the old man suddenly paused.

Then, his gaze fell upon Raven’s small face, and he spoke with a faint smile. “It’s possible for even some potent beauty- preserving treasures to appear.”

Upon hearing this, Raven suddenly smiled. This old man was just short of directly calling her ugly.

However, the old man’s words did remind her that her current strength was enough to deal with most problems. Restoring her appearance to that of her previous life shouldn’t be a big issue.

She was going to the Lysander family later to remove the needles for Ash. She could go find her baby and surprise him with her restored appearance.
