The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366 Should I Salute You?

Raven didn’t think it was necessary. Even back when she was just a lieutenant general, it was questionable whether Tony truly deserved her salute, let alone now that they were equals.

Miles said, “Raven, listen to me.”

He noticed the resistance on Raven’s face, and though his expression remained gentle, there was an unmistakable authority in his tone.

Miles didn’t know what Raven had gone through during her five years in the military, but it was clear that she had no regard for the rigid hierarchy that defined it.

If she kept this attitude, she was bound to run into trouble.

Right now, he needed to make her understand the importance of acknowledging the rank difference between her and Tony.

Otherwise, when Lionel introduced her to Tony later, she might come across as disrespectful, and that could easily lead to Tony taking offense.

The consequences would be unthinkable.

Raven glanced at Miles’s increasingly stern expression but didn’t outright refuse. Instead, she replied tactfully, “Didn’t you say I’ll meet him later? When he comes over, I’ll ask him if he wants me to salute.”

Miles frowned, but seeing Raven had compromised a little, let out a weary sigh and decided to drop the matter.

Raven was so well–behaved and sensible. What else could he do but trust her to follow through? He couldn’t bear to say anything more.

Raven noticed the mix of disapproval and reluctant resignation on Miles’s face, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

Without offering any explanation, she began pushing Miles’s wheelchair, weaving through rows of soldiers toward the central platform.

As they passed, many soldiers frowned at the sight of Miles being pushed forward.

Stories of him repeatedly causing himself to be seriously injured to impress Lionel had already spread across the entire southwestern military district.

At this moment, when the soldiers saw Miles’s appearance, they subconsciously thought that it was just another one of Miles’s stunts.

But with Tony present and their military discipline in mind, none of them voiced their dissatisfaction.

No one noticed that amid the crowd, after a few soldiers glanced at Miles, they fixed their gaze on Raven, who was pushing Miles. Their eyes were brimming with disbelief.

As he took in her now–ordinary appearance, a trace of regret flickered across his face. ‘What a waste of such beauty, he thought.
