After speaking, Raven glanced around, noticing that Ashley and Robert had disappeared at some point. She sank her consciousness into the Ring of Life and checked on Miles, whose condition was worsening. Without hesitation, she turned and walked toward the main gate.
She had to find a safe place immediately to stabilize Miles’s injuries.
Francis and the Vyrdenia warriors behind him stared blankly at Raven’s retreating fure, which showed not even the slightest hesitation
This wasn’t how they imagined it would go.
Raven had earned countless military honors within Vyrdenia Military and had finally risen to the position of general Logically, she wouldn’t give up such a hard–won achievement so easily.
She wouldn’t accept being kicked out of Vyrdenia Military and shamelessly cling to her position in Vyrdenia.
They thought she would demand answers from the higher–ups about why they were abandoning her.
And yet, she had agreed to leave just like that.
Despite their disbelief, everyone had no choice but to accept this as fact as they watched Raven disappear from view.
“Let’s go.” After a moment, Francis came back to his senses. He was furious. He then led the Vyrdenia warriors away from the division base.
After they had all gone, Ashley and Robert finally crept out of a dark chamber. Ashley was still holding the left side of her face that had been nearly disfigured by Raven’s slap.
Robert’s expression was stormy, filled with confusion. “How could a mere girl possess such terrifying strength?” Though he was a subordinate of George, Robert was just an orphan George had picked up on a whim. His natural talent was average at best.
If not for his ability to handle trivial tasks efficiently, he likely wouldn’t have even qualified to serve at George’s side.
“If it weren’t for the age mismatch, I’d almost suspect she’s…” He shook his head, choosing not to finish the thought.
“Mr. White, what were you going to say?” Ashley asked.
Suppressing his thoughts, Robert responded, “It’s just as well we didn’t injure her earlier. Mr. Brown wants me to bring her to him tomorrow. I suppose I can consider my task nearly complete.” He added, “I’m curious to see how he will deal with her once she’s at Tranquil Manor pretending to be his disciple.”
Ashley opened her mouth, wanting to stop Raven from meeting George the next day. The communication chip hadn’t been secured yet. That item could not be compromised.
However, before she could say anything, Robert suddenly received a message. Without another word, he turned and left in
She added, “Raven is sure to keep something that important with her. Our only option now is to have someone follow her tomorrow. Once she dies, we immediately retrieve the body and secure the chip.”
He said, “As long as we get the chip, we’ll have a shot at entering the upper realm. Once we gain some benefits up there and return, both the Vyrdenia Military and the Sunset Empire will bow to us.”
