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.

Alton took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, “So what if Raven made them retreat? Do you think she can stay at the border forever? Think about it. She’s already offended Mr. Brown. It’s only a matter of time before he has her executed.

“She brought this on herself. If we side with her now, we’ll only provoke Mr. Brown’s wrath and bring even greater disaster to Vyrdenia.”

The room fell silent once more after his words.

After a brief pause, one of the senior officials at the conference table suddenly spoke up. “Has anyone considered the possibility that Raven might actually be Mr. Brown’s disciple?

“We all know she’s been claiming to be his disciple, and someone as influential as Mr. Brown would definitely be aware of it. But he hasn’t taken any action against her. Doesn’t that suggest she really could be his disciple? Otherwise, how else could she still be walking around unscathed?”

His words were like a spark thrown into a boiling pot of oil, instantly setting the entire conference room ablaze.

“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.

“If Lorne hadn’t stepped in, she’d still be just some ex–con with a tarnished record. If she really were Mr. Brown’s disciple, how could she have been mistreated by the Henderson family, let alone thrown into prison?”
