Chapter 105
Raven gave Lorne a cold glance. She had never agreed to oversee the two major military forces, nor haid she consented to help select and train the Hundred–Man Unit
The last time he pressured me into agreeing to become a general was already too much. And now, here he goes again. Does he really think I’m so soft–hearted that I’ll feel guilty rejecting him? Raven thought to herself.
Lorne sensed the intensity of her gare, and his unease grew. In the end, he looked at her with a hint of pleading in his eyes
genuinely
At this point, Raven was the only person in Vyrdenia with the potential to shape the future. If she refused, Lorne had no idea what would happen next.
To prevent a future catastrophe should Raven ever decide to leave Vyrdenia, Lorne could only hope that she would personally train a few successors of her own
Seeing the desperate look in his eyes, Raven sighed. Then, she gave him a brief, silent warning with a glance, as if to tell him, Enough with this. It’s not happening again.”
Raven then turned her attention to the others around her, who were eagerly awaiting her response, and spoke slowly, her voice calm yet firm. “Within the next two weeks, I will select a hundred warriors to form the Hundred–Man Unit, which will be trained by the new general
“If any of you have suitable candidates in mind, feel free to send me their information.”
The people around her nearly immediately lit up with eagerness and enthusiasm upon hearing her words.
Lieutenant General Valor, when you first arrived, I could tell you were no ordinary person, and now
rare talent”
ww it’s clear. You are truly a
“Clearly, right? Lieutenant General Valor is obviously someone of great stature. Ordinary people can’t compare to her. People always say Isla is the top talent in Regalhold, but honestly, I don’t think she holds a candle to Lieutenant General Valor.”
“Lieutenant General Valor, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I didn’t bring anything too valuable, but please accept this high–end watch worth 6 million dollars. I hope it’s to your liking.
When the last speaker finished, it was as though a switch had been flipped.
Immediately, the crowd surged forward, offering the gifts they had initially prepared for the new general
At that moment, Raven’s status in their eyes seemed to surpass even that of the new general. After all, it was Raven, not the new general, who had the power to determine who would be in the Hundred–Man Unit
Some of the families who had previously aligned with Carl, trying to prevent the new general from taking control of the Regalhold Military, quickly changed their stance. Carl was left feeling utterly defeated and hopeless.
It wouldn’t be long before the Thornton family might be pushed out of the five great families of Regalhold
Isla watched in silent fury as Raven was showered with attention by the top figures of Vyrdenia. Her fists clenched tightly, her jealousy bubbling over
She couldn’t stand Raven. Not only had Raven stolen the man she liked, but now she had become the center of everyone’s admiration. They even believed Haven outshone Isla herself. Isla was consumed with jealousy.
Meanwhile, Raven, feeling the overwhelming attention from the crowd, couldn’t help but feel a chill radiating from her.
“I’m here for the party, not to collect gifts from you all. Please, take your things back, she said, her ton demeanor.

“Lieutenant General Valor, no wonder you are the one favored by the new general. Your grace is truly admirable. We all deeply respect you.”
“Well, since you’ve said so, I’d like to recommend someone to you. I have a grandson, twenty–one years old. He’s been the school heartthrob since elementary school and has the strength of a Mid–Class Warrior. General Valor. I hope you’ll consider him.
“Lieutenant General Valor, my son is thirty–one. He’s the type of man that young women adore, mature and charming. I hope you’ll meet him sometime.”
“My grandson just turned seventeen, but he’s incredibly handsome. He attracts attention wherever he goes, and many young women compliment him. They say he has the charm you would like. Lieutenant General Valor, please consider him
Raven could feel that things were spiraling out of control. She sensed disaster looming
Even in her old life, there were times when she couldn’t bear it when Cassian got jealous. And now, he was even more
intense.
At that moment, Raven hesitated to imagine the potential worldwide catastrophe that might unfold.
But despite the rising tension, she had no choice but to turn her stiff neck and glance at Cassian.
As her eyes landed on his striking face, he suddenly flashed a smile, beautiful smile, but devoid of warmth. The school heartthrob: The mature type? The cute type? I see all the bases are covered.
“Lieutenant General Valor, I wonder if there might be a place for me in that Hundred–Man Unit?”
