The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346 Frightening

Shawn, completely baffled, stared at Raven Valor. He wondered, ‘What’s she talking about? Zach’s Devourer Starcard should still be inside him. An Innate Starcard is permanently bound to its owner and useless to anyone else, even if stolen!‘

As Shawn struggled to understand the situation, Cassian and Hiemaly escaped the Indigo Training Ground members and appeared nearby. Their pursuers had intended to force Shawn into helping them capture the duo, but upon seeing Raven and Shawn, they stopped in their tracks, completely shocked.

Their blood ran cold. What was happening? Their invincible, godlike Shawn was lifted into the air by his neck. They couldn’t see the woman’s face, only her back as she held Shawn by the throat. But the aura around her was unmistakable–a suffocating, razor–sharp sense of danger.

“Mr. Alford!” One of the middle–aged instructors from the Indigo Training Ground broke from the stunned silence, his voice tight with worry as he instinctively shouted.

His expression darkened as he turned to Raven, snapping, “Release Mr. Alford at once, or else—”

The instructor’s threat died on his lips as a silver needle pierced his forehead, killing him instantly. His body crumpled to the ground, lifeless as a puppet with cut strings.

The sickening thud of his body hitting the ground echoed around the arena, silencing the Indigo Training Ground members and sending a jolt of fear through the watching crowd.
