Chapter 377 Raven’s Other Brother.
Even knowing the truth, the crowd still struggled to accept it.
They couldn’t believe that Lionel, a man they had always respected, would stoop so low as to steal military merits.
What shocked them even more was that Miles, the man they’d always looked down on, had suddenly become Vyrdenia’s first hero to slay over a thousand enemies.
The sheer magnitude of this reversal left them utterly stunned, unable to process it all at once.
Before the soldiers could fully process what had just happened, Raven turned to Alex and issued a cold, commanding order.
“Take Lionel to the dungeons to await sentencing!”
“Yes, madam!” Alex responded with a respectful nod.
But just as the order was given, Lionel suddenly raised his head, his voice sharp and frantic. “It’s fake!
“Alex, she’s Miles’s granddaughter! For his sake, she can abuse her position to do anything she wants. All of this is nothing but lies to frame me!”
Alex, however, merely let out a cold laugh.
“You think I’d fall for that?” he said.
Without hesitation, Alex seized Lionel by the collar and hauled him off the platform.
Lionel struggled desperately as he was being dragged away.
But as a mere Mid–Class Warrior, he was no match for Alex.
Realizing his resistance was futile, he shouted in panic, “Let me go! I demand to meet General Drakon! You’re persecuting a war hero!”
Some soldiers, who had been hesitant moments ago, looked at Lionel’s pitiful display and shook their heads in disappointment.
Gradually, more and more soldiers began to show expressions of regret and bitter smiles.
They thought, ‘We really messed up. We never thought military merits could be faked. Earlier, General Valor said that if Miles were powerless, then we’d all be worthless. Thinking about it now, she wasn’t wrong.’
Beside Raven, Miles, who had been in a daze, stared blankly at Lionel being dragged further and further away. The murmurs of the soldiers reached his ears, and he stiffly turned to look at Raven.
And then, tears quietly streamed down his face.
‘With Raven as my granddaughter, I would die without regrets,’ he thought.
Suddenly, an urgent ringtone blared from Hiemaly’s pocket.
Without a second thought, he ignored the countless stares directed at him and quickly stepped down from the platform. Only after ensuring no one could overhear the conversation did she press the answer button.
“Hiemaly, any luck finding our sister?”
The moment the call connected, a smooth and pleasant voice of a young man came through.
Hiemaly replied expressionlessly, “Hello.”
“Found her yet?” the other party asked again.
“No.” Hiemaly’s tone was flat and unwavering, showing no trace of guilt.
In fact, a flicker of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
He thought to himself, ‘I could’ve handled this alone. Why did he have to tag along? If I admit I’ve found her, he’ll just stick around and try to hog her. No way.‘
“Useless.” The young man muttered under his breath.
Before Hiemaly could react, he quickly continued, “Hiemaly, do you remember the Devourer Starcard our sister used?” “What’s wrong?” Hiemaly asked.
“I recently found a woman who awakened her Innate Starward and guess

hat? It’s the Devourer Starcard.”
The man’s tone turned sharper, laced with disdain. “If I thought she was, why would I even ask if you’ve found her?”
“I met her. She’s not our sister. But I can’t be sure if our sister has shown up yet. If she hasn’t, there’s a chance she could

reincarnate into this woman.”
“So, what are you planning?” Hiemaly asked.
“I want to hypnotize her to confirm whether our sister’s soul might have merged with hers. But I need her cooperation.
“I told her about the hypnosis plan, and she agreed. But she has one condition.”
“What condition?” Hiemaly asked.
“She wants me to use the World Star God Association’s power to help the Sunset Empire crush Vyrdenia.”
“Did you agree?” Hiemaly asked.
The young man let out a faint scoff. “Do I look like the type to go around causing pointless bloodshed?”
Almost as soon as his words fell, a colonel standing close to the platform suddenly glanced at the communicator on his
arm.
The moment he read the message, his expression shifted dramatically.
Without hesitation, he rushed up the platform, his steps urgent.
“Commander Tony, General Valor, we’ve got trouble!
“Someone in the Sunset Empire has awakened an Innate Starcard, and they’ve caught the attention of the president of the World Star God Association.
“The World Star God Association is now preparing to send reinforcements to help the Sunset Empire take us down!”
