The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359 Lionel’s Record

Ken almost nodded instinctively when he heard Raven’s command. But then, he felt something was off.

‘I’m a colonel! Sure, I like Raven and all, but agreeing without even thinking? That’s not how I roll. At the very least, I should‘ ve hesitated first, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t I come off as too easy to control?‘

The medical staff around them noticed Ken’s reaction and exchanged glances, a trace of mockery flickering in their eyes as they looked at Raven.

‘Does this woman even know who Lieutenant Colonel Moore is? He’s practically one of Brigadier–General Fleming’s closest allies.

‘And now she’s siding with Miles, who’s opposing Brigadier–General Fleming, and thinks she can boss Ken around? Is she overestimating herself, or does she have zero self–awareness?‘

The annoying–faced nurse glanced at Ken, who remained motionless, then turned her gaze to Raven with disdain as if she were staring at a filthy animal. “You think you can order Lieutenant Colonel Moore around? What kind of joke is-”

Before she could finish, a sudden, vice–like grip closed around her neck. A sharp pain shot through her throat, followed by an overwhelming sense of suffocation. “Ugh… ugh…”

In that moment, she felt death breathing down her neck, its icy presence chilling her to the core. The iron grip on her throat was so unyielding that even the thought of struggling seemed futile.

Just as the darkness began to close in, the hand around her neck tightened abruptly, and her body flung through the air like a rag doll.

The nurse crashed into the doctors and nurses who mocked Raven moments earlier. “Ah!” The three were knocked to the ground, and their cries of pain echoed through the room.

Meanwhile, the other medical staff froze, their faces pale as they instinctively stepped back, horrified by the scene before them. “Lieutenant Colonel Moore followed her orders?”

“How… How did she make him do that?”

As confusion and fear rippled through the room, Raven’s calm yet commanding gaze swept over everyone. Anyone who met her eyes instinctively held their breath, too terrified to make a sound.

The room fell into complete silence; even the faintest sound would have been deafening. The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily on everyone, and beads of cold sweat began to form on their foreheads.

Raven’s cool, measured voice cut through the tension, “I’m opening a thorough battle records investigation on Captain Henderson and Brigadier–General Fleming.

“Until the truth comes to light, I don’t want to hear a single word about Captain Henderson. If I do-”

She didn’t bother finishing her sentence, letting the faint curl of her lips speak volumes. It was a subtle gesture, but it sent a sharp pang of fear through the hearts of everyone who saw it.

No one doubted that if anyone dared to speak ill of Miles again, their fate would be far worse than the nurse lying on the ground, her life hanging by a thread.

Meanwhile, President Monroe stood beside the hospital bed, his gaze resting on Raven, a flicker of doubt in his eyes. When he first saw her in the operating room, he assumed she was Ken’s subordinate. But it seemed that wasn’t the case.
