The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 433

Chapter 433 Ethan Arrived

“Understood!” The butler nodded and immediately headed downstairs.

By now, someone had already called the police station to report the situation.

Standing before Raven, the butler relayed Estella’s message with a condescending air, as if he were doing her a favor But just as the butler assumed Raven would grovel to become a lackey for the Ortega family, she suddenly chuckled. She was thinking, ‘An A–Level invitation? Becoming Ethan’s student? Is that supposed to impress me?”

The butler noticed the subtle change in Raven’s expression, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Fixing his gaze on her, he demanded, “Miss Valor, what do you mean by this?”

“Ms. Ortega is offering you a chance to save yourself. Keep being stubborn, and when the police get here, you’ll be dragged straight to prison,” he warned, his tone sharp. “And let me remind you, in our Sunset Empire, murder is a serious crime.”

Raven let out a soft laugh, her calm demeanor only fueling the butler’s frustration. “Go back and tell Estella Ortega, thanks for the offer, but I’m not interested.”

The butler was utterly stunned by Raven’s unwavering defiance.

“Fine, fine! I hope you won’t regret this decision, Miss Valor,” he spat, his voice laced with anger.

With a huff of frustration, he spun on his heel and stormed away.

Almost as the butler turned to leave, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the banquet hall.

A group of men dressed in the distinctive uniforms of the Sunset Empire police station strode in with an air of authority. Leading them was a tall, middle–aged man with a neatly trimmed mustache–Antonio Duran, the chief of Bronson City’s police station.

Antonio had received a call from Henry earlier and had arrived at the Ortega family’s villa ahead of time.

However, he and his team had waited outside, holding back until Henry gave the signal.

Moments ago, Henry sent him a message, and Antonio led his men inside without hesitation.

“Captain Duran!” The crowd at the entrance quickly parted, greeting Antonio with enthusiasm and respect.

Darren stepped forward, pointing an accusatory finger at Raven right in front of Antonio. “Captain Duran, she’s the criminal! She committed premeditated murder. Arrest her now!”

Antonio turned his sharp gaze toward Raven, his expression hardening. “I am Antonio Duran, head of Broson City’s police

station.

“Raven Valor, you are hereby accused of the deliberate murder of Ms. Rickard, the Lunshire head. Come with us immediately!

“I advise you not to resist. If you do, I am authorized to shoot you on the spot!”

From the moment he laid eyes on Raven, Antonio felt an instant wave of dislike for her.
