Chapter 299 Someone From The Hiemal Court 

Perhaps the excruciating pain had clouded his mind, but Nightshade found himself momentarily dazed. Threatening her? 

Firstly, he was merely stating a fact. 

If anything, his words were a threat to the higher–ups of Valhalla and Vyrdenia. 

‘Who does this woman think she is? How could she possibly be relevant to this? 

Then, as Nightshade stared at her in astonishment, Raven smiled faintly. 

“Since you’ve already said that, I’m rather curious to see what the consequences of killing you would be.” As her voice faded, her eyes suddenly turned cold. 

With a flick of her wrist, the whip formed from the Five Elements Starcard in her hand suddenly swung out, wrapping around Nightshade’s neck in the blink of an eye. 

The whip suddenly tightened, and Nightshade felt a strong sense of suffocation. 

Under a strong sense of death crisis, Nightshade suddenly raised his right hand. 

Immediately, a deep purple Thunder–attribute Starcard appeared in his palm. 

But at this moment, the Ring of Life on Raven’s finger suddenly moved. 

At the same time, Zach, who had awakened his natal Starcard within the Ring of Life, slowly opened his eyes. Then, Zach’s slightly childish voice rang out from within the Ring of Life. “Raven, can you let me out?” 

A hint of surprise flashed in Raven’s eyes, but she still replied, “Okay.” 

The next moment, a small figure appeared in an inconspicuous corner, unnoticed amidst the chaos. 

With all attention fixed on Nightshade, no one noticed the sudden appearance of this tiny observer. 

Freed from the Ring of Life by Raven, Zach’s watery eyes locked onto the thunder–element Starcard in Nightshade’s hand. His pupils flickered. 

The Devourer Starcard, already formed yet still slightly ethereal, manifested within his gaze. 

Under Zach’s watchful eyes, Nightshade’s thunder Starcard began convulsing violently. 

An invisible but lethal energy permeated the entire underground level. 

“If you all want me dead…” Nightshade’s voice, devoid of emotion yet dripping with malice, sent involuntary shivers through the crowd. “Then let’s burn together!” 

A man suddenly gasped in realization. “He’s going to self–destruct his Starcard!” 

Hearing this, everyone around gasped. 

“Run! Run!” 

Cassian frowned at Nightshade. 

But just as he was about to make a move, Raven gently shook her head at him. 

Confusion flashed in his eyes, but he still stopped himself from attacking Nightshade. 

Nightshade watched the panicked crowd stampeding toward the elevators, then sneered at Cassian and Raven’s calm demeanor. “Run? Too late!” 

Although he did not know why Raven and Cassian were still so calm at this time, he knew one truth. 

A peak Star Lord’s self–destruction could gravely wound even a Star Sovereign. 

And Raven would surely die! 

It was worth it to have such a woman buried with him! 

With that thought in mind, the Starcard in Nightshade’s hand flickered faster. 

At the same time, the surrounding air seemed to be filled with a near–frenzied power. 

“Die! Let’s die together!” Looking at the terrified crowd, a sense of revenge suddenly arose in Nightshade’s heart. 

Yet, just as the Starcard in his hand was about Successfully unlocked! to obliterate the entire second basement level and possibly the entire hotel, he suddenly seemned to dense something his pupils abruptly constricted to the size of pinpoints. 

“How, how is this possible…” 

He couldn’t feel the connection between himself and the Starcard in his hand.

Then, he abruptly looked down at his palm. 

However, at this moment, there was not even a shadow of a Starcard in his hand. 

His Starcard disappeared? 

The next moment, he abruptly raised his head to look at Cassian and Raven. “What did you do to me? How could my Starcard disappear?” 

Hearing Nightshade’s shout, the crowd surging toward the elevator subconsciously turned their heads to look at him. When they saw his empty palm, everyone’s expressions revealed a hint of bewilderment. 

“Is… is it over?” 

Just as everyone was hesitating whether to leave first or stay and see what was going on, the elevator suddenly arrived. Then, a dozen figures walked out of the elevator. 

Leading them stood a man in his late twenties, strikingly handsome with silver–white hair that accentuated his pale complexion and chiseled features. 

An aura of glacial detachment surrounded him. 

The people following behind him all had an ice–blue snowflake mark on their collars. 

“This is…” 

“People from the Hiemal Court?” 

The people who were hesitating whether to leave saw the mark on their collars, and their expressions were filled with obvious surprise. 

As everyone watched in astonishment, the leading man swept his gaze across the crowd before finally settling on Raven. And the moment he saw Raven, the placid, frost–lake stillness of his eyes suddenly rippled with unseen currents. 

Sensing his gaze, Raven immediately looked away from Nightshade and toward the man.
