The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

The moment Raven's voice faded, a dead silence enveloped the scene.

Everyone stared blankly at the invitation that landed at Adam's feet after hitting his face. They were all

dumbfounded.

No one expected Raven to dare to throw the invitation into the butler's face.

Even more so, no one expected Raven to be so fearless as to say such a thing to Adam.

At this moment, a thought arose in everyone's mind: Raven was done here!

Even if the invitation she took out was real, and even if she somehow earned James's respect, Adam still

represented the Fuller family.

Now, Raven had slapped Adam in the face with the invitation, and this was equivalent to provoking the Fuller

family.

And provoking the Fuller family in the face at the family banquet? The lightest thing that would happen to her

today was to have her legs broken and

thrown out.

Looking at the butler, who was stunned in place because of the shock, a strange smile gradually appeared on

Amber's face.

Amber knew that her feeling was right. Raven was indeed not as weak as she was five years ago.

But Raven's brain was even more stupid, thought Amber to herself. It seemed that she didn't need to do

anything today, and Raven wouldn't end well.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the butler slowly cback to his senses.

Stiffly, he lowered his head, looked at the invitation at his feet, and slowly picked it up.

He opened the invitation and looked it over carefully several times, and then, his face becincreasingly

gloomy.

A moment later, he finally looked up, stared straight at Raven. His gaze sharp, as if it could freeze the air.

"Tell me," Adam commanded, "Where did you get this invitation?"

Hearing his question, Raven just shrugged. "What you need to determine is whether this invitation is real. As for

how I got it, what does it have to do with you?"

The moment Raven's voice fell, there was a gasp of cold air from all around. Everyone thought Raven was

doomed.

Adam, on the other hand, looked at Raven and sneered in anger.

"Do you know that the Fuller family's invitations are graded?" he said. "There are no more than five people in the

entire Bastion who can receive the level of invitation you have!"

"With your status as a junior of the Henderson family, let alone now, you wouldn't even be qualified to receive

this highest-level invitation in your next life!"

Everyone around was taken aback when they heard Adam's words.

Because almost all the invitations were black and gold, just with different patterns on them, no one noticed that

Raven's invitation was of a different grade.

Hearing Adam's words, their expressions changed again as they looked at Raven.

They thought that Raven had only offended Adam today, but they didn't expect that her crmight be far more

than this.

And just as everyone was secretly startled, Adam's eyes narrowed as he looked

at Raven, and he reprimanded with a serious and stern expression.

"Tell me! How did you get this invitation?" he continued.

However, before Raven could speak, Amber suddenly let out a sigh, her face full of grief and disappointment.

"Raven, you were locked up in the Bastion Prison for five years. | thought you would have changed for the better

in those five years," said Amber, acting pitiful.

"| didn't expect that not only would you not turn over a new leaf after you got out, but you would go even further

and even do something like steal an invitation. You really disappoint me."

Most of the people around already had sguesses about the source of Raven's invitation, and Amber's words

were tantamount to giving them an affirmation.

Immediately, the eyes of everyone looking at Raven showed more contempt and disdain.

"| was wondering how the people from the third-tier Henderson family got the invitation from the Fuller family,"

one murmured. "So it was stolen!"

"Raven dared to steal things just after her was released? She really learned nothing from her lesson," another

agreed.

"Mr. Griffin said that no more than five people in the entire Bastion could get that kind of invitation. If the big

shot whose invitation was stolen by her can't cin, will the Fuller family suffer?"

Mr. Griffin's heart clenched at the words. With hardly a moment's hesitation, he glanced at the Fullers, now

inches away from Raven, and barked, "Take her down! If she resists, execute her on the spot!"

"Yes, sir!" The Fullers responded.

In the next instant, they attacked Raven together, aiming for the most vulnerable parts of her body.

The surrounding hotel security guards, witnessing this, looked at Raven with a mixture of schadenfreude and

anticipation.

They wanted to see how this woman, who had just claimed she could easily break their arms, would be begging

for mercy.

They had no doubt that even if Raven were to beg Mr. Griffin for her life in the most humiliating and lowly

manner, it would be useless.

After all, after Preston, the true bigwig, the Fuller family could not be insulted.

However, the next moment, bone-cracking sounds and screams suddenly echoed through the banquet hall.

Within a flash, all the dozen or so strong men of the Fuller family collapsed to the ground, each one clutching

their arms, howling in pain.

After a moment of stunned silence, people around rubbed their eyes. They couldn't believe what they were

seeing.

At the stime, the smug smile on Amber's lips suddenly froze.

She stared straight at Raven, who was still standing where she was, her expression as if she had seen a ghost.

'How is this possible?’ Amber thought to herself, stunned. 'Is this the sgood- for-nothing five years ago?"

Meanwhile, witnessing the chaos, a chill ran down the spines of the hotel's

bodyguards. They no longer doubted Raven's previous words.

At the stime, a deep sense of relief arose in their hearts.

Fortunately enough, Mr. Sinclair cin time. Otherwise, it wouldn't be the

Fullers lying on the ground now, but them!

The bodyguards glanced back towards Raven, completely changing their impressions.

In their eyes now, there was an emotion called respect. That was admiration for

the strong.

"Raven! Do you know the influence of the Fuller family in Bastion?" Adam roared,

still trying to fight back. "Now you not only stole the invitation, but also beat up the Fuller family. You're adding

insult to injury!"

*|, Adam Griffin, in the nof the Fuller family, warn you to surrender immediately. Otherwise, it will be a fight

to death between the Fuller family and

you!"

However, just as he finished speaking, the sound of high heels hitting the ground suddenly rang out.

Then, a soft, pleasant, but aggressive voice entered the ears of everyone in the silent venue.

"Adam, since when did it becyour turn, a servant, to make decisions for the Fuller family?" said the voice.

"Or do |, Linda, need your permission, a butler, to send Raven an invitation?"

Hearing Linda's words, the anger showed on Adam's face immediately faded, and his voice trembled because of

fear, "...Ms. Foster?"

People around Adam slowly cback to their senses. Their eyes were filled with deep disbelief.

How is that possible? They all doubted what they had witnessed. Ms. Foster is the true hegemon of Bastion. How

could Raven have anything to do with

her?

Amber was also taken aback. She never expected that not only James, but even Linda was on Raven's side.

At that moment, she finally began to realize that Raven might not be as simple as she thought.

"Answer my question," Linda's sharp eyes stared at Adam, her tone cold and firm.

She didn't expect that just because she ran into an acquaintance and was delayed outside the banquet hall for a

hile, Raven would be subjected

such

reproach.

Adam took a deep breath. Realizing himself running into a serious problem, his tone becextremely humble.

"Ms. Foster, | apologize. | didn't know the invitation Raven had was from you..."

But before he could finish, Linda cut him off.

"You didn't know? Just because you didn't know where my friend got the invitation, you can accuse her of

stealing it without any evidence and even order someone to attack her?"

Adam was left speechless by Linda's words. Under the pressure of Linda's fierce aura, his forehead gradually

broke out in a cold sweat.

"Please accept my apology, Ms. Foster. It's all my fault causing such nonsense. Please sparemercy..."

Linda didn't answer him, but turned to Raven.

"Miss Valor," she asked respectfully. "How do you think this should be handled?"

Raven shot Adam with a cold glance. "He just tried to kill me," she said. "What does Ms. Foster think is the best

way to handle this?"

Upon hearing this, Linda gaye Raven a knowing nod

Then, she tilted her head slightly, her cold, sharp gaze falling on Adam.

The instant he felt Linda's gaze, Adam's body suddenly went limp, and he collapsed onto the ground

As the butler of the Fuller family, he knew all too well how much Mr. Fuller feared

Linda

He had no doubt that if Mr. Fuller knew he had offeaded Linda, he would not hesitate to kill him for an apology

gift.

Under such intense fear, Adam eventually knelt down to Linda.

"Ms. Foster, please forgivethis once," he begged. "I didn't mean to offend you.

Please sparesmercy!"

Linda frowned at this and then took a step to the side.

"lI am not the one you should be apologizing to," she replied.

Adam hesitated for a moment, but under the threat of death, he quickly turned

and knelt down to Raven.

"Miss Valor, I'm so sorry. | was acting rude today. Please sparethis time!"

Raven looked at Adam coldly. However, before she could speak, a series of gasps and screams cfrom her

surroundings.

"Look at him, he's so handsome!" one of the girls gasped. "How can someone be

so good-looking?"

"I've never seen such a handsman in my life!" another agreed.

"If I could be his girlfriend for a day, | would die happy!"

Raven followed their gaze. She saw a man in a pure white suit, as elegant as a

noble prince, walking out slowly.

The girls, staring at the man's handsface, which was way more handsome

than the movie stars in Vyrdenia, and feeling the otherworldly aura around him, their heartbeats couldn't help

but quicken.

However, the man ignored the girls casually. His eyes swept over them and

landed on Raven.

The moment he saw Raven, he was stunned, and his breath quickened.

Meanwhile, at the stime, Raven's gaze also fell on him.
