Chapter 579 The Disbelief
The moment the secretary finished speaking, everyone became silent. An unsettling stillness enveloped the room
Everyone stared blankly at Alton’s secretary, completely dumbfounded. It took several seconds for Alton to snap out of kis
daze.
He looked at the secretary, his voice trembling, “What? Who did you say made the enemy retreat?
“It was Raven. Her appearance alone made the allied forces pull back, he replied.
The secretary stepped back slightly and addressed the room full of senior officials, “The allied forces had already crosed the border and were about to storm the warzone camp. They had even surrounded all members of the Sirius Pack
“At the critical moment, Raven appeared. She exchanged just a few words with Tyler, and he withdrew, taking his soldiers and retreating beyond the border.”
Just a few words, and it felt like a series of bombs had gone off, leaving Alton and the others completely dazed
“Raven? How could it be her? Why her?” Alton slumped into his chair as if all the strength had been drained from his body
Minutes ago, Alton and the other high–ranking officials had been laughing openly, mocking Raven for her arrogance and overconfidence. But now, he had no choice but to accept the truth: her presence alone had forced the enemy to retreat.
The memory of Raven standing before him, proud and defiant, sent shivers down his spine.
Even now, after realizing her significance, Alton stubbornly refused to admit his earlier mistakes.
“Impossible. Absolutely impossible.” Alton was the first to refute, his tone sharp and dismissive. “Are you all seriously clueless about her background? Or do you think I am? Lorne personally got her out of Bastion Prison.
