Chapter 434 She Has An S–Rank Invitation
Ethan had arrived in the Sunset Empire just half an hour ago.
John
The main reason for his trip was to apologize to Raven on behalf of John.
However, as soon as he got off the plane and before he could locate Raven, he received an invitation from Estella, who mentioned there was an exceptionally skilled doctor at the Ortega family’s villa, so he came straight over out of curiosity John froze for a moment before quickly stepping forward, his expression respectofas he addressed Ethan, “Mr. Reed, what brings you here?”
Ethan looked at John, momentarily surprised by his sudden appearance.
But recalling John’s earlier disrespect toward Raven, his face immediately darkened.
Still, with so many prominent figures from the medical field present, Ethan didn’t want John to be completely embarrassed. So, he merely cast John a brief glance before scanning the crowd.
It didn’t take long for his gaze to land on Raven.
His expression shifted to one of shock and delight as he exclaimed, “Dr. Valor, I didn’t expect to see you here?
“Dr. Valor?” John’s voice carried a hint of surprise when he heard the respect in Ethan’s tone.
John, noticing Ethan’s unwavering belief in Raven’s supposed mastery of the Nine Meridians Technique, suddenly let out a mocking laugh.
“Mr. Reed, she’s a criminal who gambled with a life and lost, causing her patient’s death in the process!” John’s tone was sharp and dripping with sarcasm.
Ethan’s expression darkened instantly.
“A criminal? What do you mean by that?” His voice was cold and demanding.
John stepped aside, revealing the crystal coffin that held the lifeless body of Helena, the Lunshire head.
With a dramatic sigh, John continued, “Mr. Reed, Dr. Valor used disgraceful methods to create a fleeting recovery before the end for Ms. Rickard. But soon after, her condition worsened drastically, leading to her untimely death. Every Lunshire member can vouch for it!”
Ethan’s gaze fell upon the crystal coffin. Inside lay Helena, her face ashen and her body stiff. Ethan froze, making Ethan unable to process the sight before him.
He had seen Helena not long ago and knew how formidable she was. Yet, he couldn’t fathom how someone so strong could meet such a sudden end.
“Mr. Reed, she’s nothing but a murderer. Don’t let her deceive you!” Another voice chimed in, echoing John’s accusations.
“That’s right, Dr. Reed! She’s a quack with neither skill nor ethics!” The crowd’s voices grew louder, their hostility palpable. “Ms. Rickard’s death is entirely her fault! Captain Duran, arrest her immediately!” The demand was sharp and unrelenting.
Seeing the police officers stepping forward, Ethan quickly intervened, his voice steady yet urgent. “Hold on! There must be some misunderstanding here about Dr. Valor!”
Henry let out a bitter laugh. “Misunderstanding? To save Ms. Rickard, I handed over the most precious treasure of Lunshire to her.
“And what did she do? She used some twisted magic to fake Ms. Rickard’s recovery, just so she could steal the treasure for
herself.
“Ms. Rickard had a chance to survive, but I was foolish enough to trust this fraud. It’s all my fault!”
Ethan frowned, his confusion deepening as he watched Henry’s grief–stricken performance.
Turning to Raven, he asked, “Raven, why are they saying you killed Ms. Rickard? That doesn’t make sense. With your skills, there’s no way her condition could’ve worsened.”
Raven met Ethan’s worried gaze, her voice calm but firm. “I cured Helena. But this man, who’s one o subordinates poisoned her after I left, framing me for her death.”
most trusted
Ethan’s eyes widened as realization dawned. It was clear he trusted Raven’s words far more than Henry’s, Ellie’s, or anyone else’s.
Successfully unlocked!
“Don’t you dare accuse me of such a thing!” Jo. nenapped, his fury boiling over. “I would never harm Ms. Rickard!”
“You’re just incompetent! You wanted Lunshire’s treasure, and your lack of skill killed her!” Henry’s voice rose, his
accusations relentless.
He then sneered, his tone dripping with disdain. “Someone your age probably hasn’t even graduated from medical school,

let alone earned a license to practice! If your skills are truly as remarkable as you claim, then why haven’t you received an invitation to the World Medical Conference?”
“Exactly!” Ellie chimed in, seizing the opportunity to pile on. “A person who couldn’t even secure a C–Rank invitation dares to boast about being qualified for an S–Rank one? Isn’t that hilarious?”
Ethan’s face showed even greater shock. “Raven, why are they saying you don’t have an invitation?”
He distinctly remembered instructing the director of Regalhold General Hospital to deliver the invitation to Raven personally
Why were these people claiming she wasn’t qualified to receive one?
“Mr. Reed, stop defending this murderer!” At that moment, Antonio stepped forward, his voice cold and commanding “Miss Valor, you killed Ms. Rickard out of selfish greed. No amount of pleading will save you now. Come with us!”
As Antonio finished speaking, the police officer holding handcuffs approached Raven once more.
This time, Raven didn’t move. Instead, she looked at Ethan with a faint, enigmatic smile and asked calmly, “Ethan, do you think I’m qualified to hold an S–Rank invitation?”
Raven’s words barely left her lips when John sneered coldly, “Stop trying to trick Mr. Reed. He won’t fall for your nonsense! If someone like you can get an invitation, then even a fool could grab a scalpel and start operating on patients “Shut your mouth!” Before Jason could finish, Ethan slapped him across the face. “Stop embarrassing yourself here! Jason clutched his cheek, staring at Ethan in shock. “Mr. Reed? What did I say wrong?”
The surrounding doctors, members of Lunshire, and even Antonio froze, their faces filled with shock.
But before anyone could react, Ethan’s voice, sharp and explosive like a thunderclap, boomed through the banquet hall.
