Chapter 442 Just You?
Finnley's hawk-like eyes locked onto Raven, his gaze sharp and frigid. Through clenched teeth, he hissed, "Do
you even know who you just killed? He was my prized disciple and a leading candidate for the next emperor of
the Sunset Empire! You dared to kill him? Then I'll make sure your entire family joins him in
the grave!"
Unfazed by Finnley's seething rage, Raven lazily lifted her eyes to meet his. A faint, mocking smirk tugged at the
corner of her lips.
"You? Kill my whole family? Don't makelaugh."
"Are you stupid?" Prince Arian's attendant sneered, his face full of disdain. “General Hinton is a brigadier general
in the Sunset Empire's military and an Elite Warrior. Dealing with a little rookie like you is a piece of cake for
him."
Ellie, standing to the side, grew worried that Finnley might be misled by Raven's bold front, thinking she had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtspowerful connections. She quickly spoke up, "General Hinton, you don't need to worry about her having
any backing. She's just a nobody with no support. She even had the audacity to impersonate a member of the
Hiemal Court while treating the princess, but the court's vice master exposed her lies."
She went on, "Prince Arian only stepped in because she deceived the royal family. He wanted to uphold their
honor, but she ambushed him instead. General Hinton, you have to avenge him!"
Of course, Ellie didn't mention Raven's S-Rank invitation. All she wanted was for Finnley to take her out as soon
as possible. As Ellie spoke, Antoand his men had already cleared the center of the banquet hall.
With Finnley from the military stepping in, it was obvious that a mere police chief like Antohad no room to
intervene. Antonio's gaze toward Raven was filled with contempt, as if he were staring at a dead woman, and the
smirk on his lips grew even more brazen.
"Raven, you had Ethan backing you before. If you'd just cwithto the station, you might've had a slim
chance. But now? You've gone and messed up big time. Not even the gods can save you now," Antosneered.
Finnley's hatred burned fiercely as he glared at Raven, his fury barely contained.
"Just killing her outright? That'd be letting her off way too easily." Finnley thought, his mind consumed by
vengeance. The thought of his cherished disciple dying at Raven's hands made him want to carve her apart
piece by piece.
Raven felt Finnley's gaze on her and responded with a sly smile.
"No wonder your disciple is so pathetic. Turns out the master is just as useless."
As a brigadier general, Finnley should have been leading the charge on the frontlines.
But Raven had never seen him on the Outer Battlefield. Clearly, his rank had more to do with his ties to the royal
family than any real merit.
"You dare court death!"
Finnley's eyes turned icy at Raven's mocking tone. Without hesitation, he raised his palm and struck toward her
with a fierce blow.
Finnley unleashed seventy percent of his strength in that strike, the force of his palm tearing through the air like
a blade, aimed straight at Raven's chest.
The crowd held their breath, their eyes fixed on the scene, as if they could already see Raven falling under
Finnley's devastating attack.
Not a single one of them would have dared to face that strike head-on.
Raven kept her gaze fixed on Finnley's palm as it shot toward her. The sharp whistle of the wind from his strike
was already ringing in her ears.
Still, she stood her ground, unmoving, with no intention of dodging or fighting back The crowd watching her
reaction immediately assumed she'd been scared out of
wits.
"Finnley's move must've scared her stiff! Look at her. She's not even budging. She's completely given up, just
waiting to die!" someone jeered.
"Someone like her? Finnley could take her out we Successfully unlocked!
"What an arrogant piece of trash! Dying like this is letting her off easy."
"What the...?" Before one of the Hiemal Court members could finish speaking, the crowd erupted in gasps.
"No way!"
