Chapter 51
Marisela stood there in a daze, staring at Vincent’s actions and listening to his words, completely stunned.
‘What is going on? My father is bowing to the woman who beat me? Wait, what? Lady Valor? Could she be the master of Minor Valhalla at Regalhold University?‘ The thought hit her like a lightning bolt.
In the next second, Marisela’s gaze shifted to Raven, carefully scanning her from head to toe.
Marisela knew that the master of Minor Valhalla was several levels above Vincent.
Marisela’s status had never been high enough for her to meet this person.
‘Could it be that Raven is the master of Minor Valhalla?” Marisela thought.
Immediately, her expression toward Raven changed completely.
After thinking for a moment, Marisela became more certain. If Raven didn’t have such a high status, there was no way Vincent would show this much respect.
Furthermore, the students in Minor Valhalla were all exceptionally young prodigies. Only someone more brilliant than they were could command respect
from them.
Marisela remembered how she had been powerless against Raven earlier. It suddenly dawned on her.
I’ve made a huge mistake I’ve offended such an important person. What do I do now? What should I do?‘ she thought in panic.
Just as Marisela’s anxiety intensified, Raven looked at Vincent, still kneeling in front of her as though he hadn’t been allowed to rise, and smiled before speaking, “Your daughter told you to arrest me. What right do I have to deserve your bow?”
Raven’s cold smile made Vincent’s face turn even palet
When he had first met Raven, he had been so nervous that, although he had heard Marisela say to arrest someone, he hadn’t realized who it was meant to be.

Vincent never imagined that the person who had burt his daughter was Raven.
He stayed bowed, not daring to move, but sternly said, “Marisela, kneel. Apologize to Lady Valor.”
Without the slightest hesitation, Marisela dropped to her knees in front of Raven.
She slightly tilted her head back, speaking sincerely as she looked at Raven, “I’m sorry, Lady Valor. I didn’t know your identity. I hope you won’t hold it against me and will forgive me.”
II Raven had been just an ordinary person, Marisela would have never knelt, no matter what.
But knowing that Raven was the master of Minor Valhalla, a person of such high status, it wasn’t as difficult for Marisela to kneel and apologize.
Above all, her life meant może to her than her dignity.
Seeing Marisela’s obedience, Vincent breathed a heavy sigh of relief
He quickly forced a bitter smile and spoke to Raven, “Lady Valor, I apologize for spoiling my daughter. She’s become more and more stubborn lately. Maybe you could help guide her?
“I heard you’re going to Regalhold University. Coincidentally, she’s also going there. If you take her with you, she can serve you.”
Raven, bearing Vincent’s sincere voice, turned her gaze toward Marisela and said, “Do you remember what! told you on the plane?”

Marisela froze for a moment, then quickly nodded. “Y–yes.”
Then, without warning, Marisela raised her hand.
Bang! A series of sharp slaps rang out as Marisela slapped herself across the face.
The people at the airport exit, along with Marisela’s fans, were completely stunned.
If it weren’t for the pain in her flesh, everyone would have thought they were dreaming.
No, even in a dream, no one would dare imagine that the chairman of the Duvall Group, Vincent, would bow to such an ordinary girl.
Even more unbelievable was the sight of Marisela, a top celebrity, kneeling before such a regular girl and slapping herself.
After a long moment, Marisela slapped herself again and again, until the onlookers lost count of how many times it happened.
Raven finally parted her lips and said, “That’s enough.”
Only then did Marisela stop the action.

However, even though Marisela felt the burning sensation on her cheek, after realizing Raven’s true identity, there wasn’t a trace of resentment in her gaze toward Raven.
Marisela may not have been a saint, but she understood that the strong deserved respect.
Since she had foolishly offended someone she shouldn’t have, it was only right to be taught a lesson.
This was easy to understand. If Raven had been just an ordinary person, there would have been no good outcome for Marisela if she had offended her.
Raven calmly looked at Marisela and, knowing that she would never dare cause trouble for her even if she stayed by her side. Raven slowly spoke, “As your father said, I am indeed in need of a maid at Regalhold University who can follow my orders at any time.”
Before Raven could finish, Marisela quickly interjected, “I’m willing.”
Marisela had been blinded by jealousy before, but she was very shrewd.
She understood that her father was giving her an opportunity.
After all, if she stayed close to Raven and performed well, her chances of entering Minor Valhalla in the future would increase.
In fact, she had heard her father say that Raven often met the legendary master of Minor Valhalla.
If Raven could speak a few good words for her in front of that mysterious master, Marisela might have a chance to enter Minor Valhalla.
With that thought in mind, Marisela’s gaze toward Raven became even more eager.
Raven observed Marisela’s complete change in attitude but didn’t say anything else.
Vincent’s eyes suddenly flashed with a strong sense of joy,

No one dared doubt the truth of Vincent’s words.
Furthermore, everyone knew that even if they did spread such a story, with the Duvall Group’s influence, the media would be pressured, and nothing would come of it.
Vincent then led Raven and the others to the empty villa at Regalhold that Preston had mentioned.
The villa was located in Regalhold’s best neighborhood, where most of the residents were either wealthy or noble.
Raven, along with her mother and brother, ate a simple meal prepared by the servants in the villa. Afterward, Ruth took Zach to rest.
Raven, however, followed Preston and Marisela to Regalhold University.
The president’s office at Regalhold University was in the center of the college, exquisitely decorated and luxurious.
At this moment, an elderly man with gray hair, Kurt Monroe, stood with his hands behind his back in front of the office’s massive floor–to–ceiling window, looking out over the entire campus.
Behind him, his two assistants, who had just returned to Regalhold, were reporting some important information.
Bang!
Suddenly, the office door was kicked open.
The female assistant, Clair Young, saw the elegant, handsome man leading the group, and her breathing involuntarily quickened.
She had never seen such a handsome man.
Before returning to Regalhold, Clair had heard that the man who had just become the Hottest One at the college was so exceptional in both appearance and ability that he could overshadow several others, including Preston.
At the time, Clair had doubted that such a perfect man could exist.
Now, she believed.
Clair even thought that there would never be a man more outstanding or handsome than the one standing before her.
Keith, the male assistant beside Clair, was momentarily stunned by the man who had just entered, his breath caught in his throat.
Under the almost imperceptible cold aura emanating from the man, Keith’s heart instantly jumped into his throat.
But soon, Keith’s gaze fell on the man’s remarkably young and handsome face.
In just an instant, Keith confirmed that the five individuals, including the man, were all students of Regalhold University.
Keith’s face suddenly darkened, and with a cold expression, he snapped, “Who allowed you to enter? Get out.”
The leading man suddenly paused in his steps.
He slightly tilted his head, and his eyes, seemingly sculpted by God into works of art, locked onto Keith.
In the next moment, a cold, dark golden gleam flashed across his pupils.
Bang!
Keith was violently thrown back, crashing into a white wall several feet away.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and slowly slid down the wall.

“Oh my.” Clair couldn’t help but gasp sharply.
She couldn’t help but look at the man with a hint of fear in her eyes, but for some reason, her heart rate quickened.
Clair found herself thinking that he had become even more charming.
At this moment, Kurt, who had been facing the floor–to–ceiling window, was frozen in place.
Using all his strength to resist the overwhelming pressure coming from behind, Kurt slowly turned his body and looked toward the domineering man.
And just as Kurt turned around, a voice, so pleasant that it could make any woman scream, but in Kurt’s ears, it felt more like a death sentence, came from the man. “Have you not found the person I asked you to investigate yet?”
Even in front of the General of Vyrdenia or the president, Kurt had never shown fear. But now, he couldn’t stop himself from trembling.
Kurt opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Seeing the expression on Kurt’s face, the man already had his answer.
The chilling aura around him suddenly erupted. “You are so worthless.”
The moment those words were spoken, the four people behind him immediately knelt on the ground.
Kurt, who had been struggling to hold himself up, finally couldn’t maintain his stance any longer and collapsed to his knees in front of the man.
At that moment, Kurt truly felt like crying.
He wondered, ‘He’s a madman. How could anyone from this world possibly time travel? Even if there were, they wouldn’t tell anyone, would they?
‘And on top of that, he claims the girl he’s looking for time–traveled five years ago. Why didn’t he look for her five years ago then?‘
