Chapter 47
The moment Raven finished speaking, the entire banquet hall fell into a deathly silence.
At that moment, everyone looked at Raven as if they had seen a ghost.
That girl had passed the Regalhold University combat test–Everyone knew how abnormal that combat test was.
However, to their surprise, the one who had passed the combat test had no power to fight back in front of Raven.
The girl subconsciously held her breath as she heard Raven’s voice, which seemed to pierce her heart and shatter all her confidence.
Then, she slowly raised her head as if in slow motion. At that moment, the sharp pain in her abdomen was forgotten.
Her gaze towards Raven was filled with disbelief.
She knew herself well. Even if her strength hadn’t reached the pinnacle of perfection, it was definitely not bad.

At the very least, few people her age could compete with her. Even her teacher, who had been practicing for decades, could no longer easily defeat her.
But she didn’t expect that in front of Raven, she couldn’t even fight back.
“How…how did you do it?” she opened her mouth and asked hoarsely.
At this moment, her eyes looking at Raven were filled with frustration and despair.
She never thought that one day, the thing she was most proud of would be crushed by someone she had completely disregarded.
Raven didn’t answer her question, but looked at her with a cold glance.
“You can endure this level of pain without crying out?” she spoke up. “Looks like you have good resilience.”
The girl couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Was Raven praising her? She was totally surprised.
Shouldn’t Raven be trying to belittle and humiliate her, the loser, with the attitude of a victor? But why didn’t she see any arrogance or contempt in
Raven’s expression?
She locked her gaze on Raven for a while, then let out a chuckle.
Enduring the piercing pain, she slowly moved her body to kneel down towards Raven.
She looked up slightly at Raven, her tone devoid of any anger or unwillingness, even sounding as if she was willingly calling out, “My Queen.”
The moment her voice fell, the surroundings were suddenly plunged into an eerie silence.
Almost everyone looked at the girl with disbelief on their faces. No one expected her to fulfill this extremely humiliating promise so easily.
What’s more, no one expected her to be able to call Raven a “queen” so calmly.
Among the crowd, there was no shortage of people who were familiar with the girl, and huge waves of disbelief had already been set off in their hearts.
They understood all too well the pride that came with being strong.
They had considered the possibility that the girl might be forced to bow their heads to Raven, but ever in their wildest dreams did they imagine that she would completely abandon her dignity in front of Raven.

Raven looked at the girl kneeling before her, her expression unmoved.
She gently raised her hand and tossed a gold coin engraved with the letters “LTG–V” in front of her.
“Take this and report to the Bastion military tomorrow. I will have someone meet you,” she commanded casually.
The girl was stunned. For a moment, she couldn’t believe her ears.
Her eyes were fixed on Raven, her gaze filled with surprise and disbelief.
The Bastion military? She pondered. Did it mean that she had a chance to enter the Bastion military?
Almost everyone familiar with her knew that, compared to Regalhold University, she’d much rather enter the Vyrdenian military.
In fact, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the military was the place she wanted to be in most in her life.

However, the Vyrdenian military rarely recruited female soldiers, and even if there were some exceptions, they joined through various special channels.
Given her background, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven for her to enter the military.
But now, Raven was telling her to report directly to the military? This happiness had come too suddenly for her.
The crowd watched the girl, who could be said to have found fortune in misfortune, their faces filled with a mixture of surprise and envy.
Having just witnessed Brian’s unwavering respect for Raven, no one doubted the truth of her words.
In other words, as long as the girl performed well in the military, she would definitely have a bright future.
“Thank you!” The girl carefully picked up the gold coin, her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at Raven.
Raven just nodded without saying anything.
Seeing that Raven had settled the matter, Preston walked slowly up to her and said with a smile.
“Raven, congratulations on qualifying for Regalhold University. You’ll be my junior soon,” said Preston. “Have you decided when to go to Regalhold?”
Raven couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled when she heard Preston’s sudden question. For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity from Preston at
such close range.
This familiarity prevented her from resisting Preston’s approach too much. She stared at Preston for a moment before replying, “Tomorrow.”
With Regalhold University starting in just ten days, Raven had nearly finished wrapping up her affairs in Bastion. She was preparing to head to Regalhold University ahead of time to reunite with her precious darling.
Hearing this, a gentle smile curved Preston’s lips.
“I’m also planning to leave tomorrow. I haven’t bought my ticket yet,” he proposed. “Why don’t we go together? I can show you around the university in advance.”
Evelyn and Patriarch exchanged glances upon hearing this.
Didn’t Preston say he wouldn’t leave for another seven days? Both of them wondered.
And they had already bought the tickets. Why did he suddenly change to leaving tomorrow?
Many of the girls around them were taken aback by Preston’s words, their eyes quickly filling with deep disbelief.
Why would Mr. Fuller be the one to ask Raven when she was heading to Regalhold University? Could it be, as they had speculated earlier, that Raven was the person he liked?

The thought made them gasp. No way! Even though Raven’s strength was impressive, her looks were too ordinary. She wasn’t worthy of someone as excellent as Preston at all!
Hearing that Preston actually took the initiative to invite her to leave together, Raven’s eyes also showed a little surprise.
But then, she shook her head to refuse.
“Often, plans can’t keep up with life’s twists,” she suggested. “If fate allows, we’ll surely cross paths again someday.”

The girls around them were stunned as they heard Raven’s clear rejection. They hadn’t expected her to turn down the opportunity to stay with Preston.
How could there be such an ungrateful woman in this world?
A brief flicker of disappointment flashed across Preston’s eyes at her words, but he quickly masked it with a gentle smile. “Alright, I respect your.
decision.”
Raven glanced around at the people gathered, sensing the strange atmosphere in the air. With no interest in staying any longer, she bid Preston farewell and quietly left the banquet.
Preston watched as Raven walked away, a thoughtful expression settling on his face.
The next morning, Raven received a call from Hugmuinn.
“Boss, the location of the only unsealed Starcard in Vyrdenia has been confirmed. Like the man you’re looking for, it’s also related to Regalhold University,” reported Hugmuinn.
Hearing this, Raven took a light breath. “Okay, help me book three tickets to Regalhold on the soonest available flight.”
“Understood,” replied Hugmuinn.
In the afternoon, Raven left Grayson Memorial Hospital with Ruth and Zach, preparing to head to Regalhold.
Just as they arrived at Bastion Airport, a series of major news stories broke, shaking the entire city.
