Chapter 451 A Stunning Picture
Even though he was staying in the Royal Palace, he had a thorough understanding of everything happening in Broson Palace.
Half an hour ago, someone had reported something to him.
The report was that Saxon, the president of Star God Association, had arrived in the Sunset Empire. Officially, he was there to observe Lola’s Innate Starcard awakening, but in truth, his real purpose was to arch for his long–lost sister:
Just moments ago, it was revealed that Raven was highly likely to be the sister Saxon had been looking for all these years.
If that were true, the person who killed his son and Finnley was more than likely Saxon’s sister.
Still, to be absolutely certain, he continued to ask, “Are you talking about Raven, the doctor who treated Princess Adrianna at the palace?”
“Yes, your Majesty. You’ve heard of her, too?” The subordinate assumed the Emperor’s surprise stemmed from Raven’s previous treatment of Princess Adrianna. But even that couldn’t make up for the monstrous crimes she had committed.
The subordinate continued, “She’s been acting recklessly with Star God Association backing her up. Not only did she cause a scene at the Ortega family’s banquet, but she also killed Prince Arian and General Hinton right in front of everyone!
“Your Majesty, this is an insult to the dignity of the Sunset Empire’s royal family and the military. We absolutely cannot let this slide!
“In the face of the Empire’s honor, a mere doctor is utterly insignificant.
“Even with Star God Association behind her, as long as the royal family and the military join forces, we can ensure she meets a fate worse than death.”
However, the Emperor’s expression turned icy as he listened to his subordinate’s words.
If Raven were just another ordinary member of Star God Association, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill her.
But he knew Raven was very likely the younger sister of Saxon, Star God Association’s leader. How could he dare to provoke her?
The Emperor’s face grew darker and darker as he considered the consequences of offending Saxon.
Fixing the subordinate with a cold, piercing stare, he asked in a chilling tone, “Why did you provoke her?”
“Your Majesty, what did you just say?” The subordinate had assumed the Emperor would be furious at Raven’s actions. To his shock, he instead blamed them for provoking her in the first place.
As the subordinate stared in stunned silence, about to ask for clarification, the Emperor abruptly stood up, still in his nightclothes, and strode out of the hall without hesitation.
“Prepare the carriage! We’re heading to Broson City immediately!
“And summon all the military personnel who visited the Ortega family tonight. They’re all coming with me!”
He needed to confirm whether Raven was truly Saxon’s sister. If she was, he would have no choice but to bring the military along to apologize, hoping to quell her fury.
The Emperor’s sudden actions left the entire hall in stunned silence.
Both Finnley’s subordinate, who had rushed over in the dead of night, and the guards in the hall stared at the Emperor’s retreating figure in disbelief.
No one could have imagined that after Raven’s audacious acts of killing both Prince Arian and Finnley, the Emperor wouldn‘ t order her capture. Instead, he was personally going to meet her!
The subordinate snapped out of his daze and quickly got up to chase after the Emperor.
He said, “Your Majesty, Raven may be part of Star God Association, but there’s no way Saxon would go to war with the Sunset Empire over her. Why are you so wary of her?
“She killed Prince Arian and General Hinton! How can we just let her get away with it?”
Snap! The Emperor raised his hand and delivered a sharp slap, the sound echoing through the hall.
“You idiot! Do you even understand the situation?
“Star God Association under Saxon’s control wind’s power beyond anything you can imagine.
“Even though the Sunset Empire leads the world
Successfully unlocked! still no match for them.”
“And now, you fools dared provoke Saxon’s sister! Are you trying to get us all killed?
“What are you standing around for? Get the car ready, now!”
Without another word, the Emperor strode out of the hall, his steps decisive and unyielding.

Chapter 451 A Stunning Picture
The guards stationed in the grand hall exchanged confused glances, completely at a loss for what had just happened.
Who exactly was this Raven, to make even the Emperor so wary of her?
As soon as the Emperor left the Royal Palace and returned to Broson City, the Ortega family was the first to catch wind of
the news.
Inside the Ortega family’s study, Estella, still fuming from the humiliation Raven had given her at the banquet, immediately perked up upon hearing the Emperor himself returning to handle the matter.
Prince Arian was the Emperor’s most beloved son, and Finnley was his most trusted military leader. So what if Raven was affiliated with Star God Association? This time, she wouldn’t escape death!
A malicious smile tugged at the corners of Estella’s lips. If she couldn’t have something, she’d rather see it destroyed. Since Raven refused to serve her and become her loyal pawn, death would suit her just fine.
While Estella reveled in her schadenfreude, Raven was already plotting how to take out the Ortega family.
The major factions within the Sunset Empire were split into two camps: the pro–war faction and the anti–war faction.
The Ortega family, known for their hardline stance, was a leading force in the pro–war faction. They pushed for the Sunset Empire to invade Vyrdenia and reduce it to a vassal state.
It was also the Ortega family that proposed the appalling idea of hanging the Sirius Pack members‘ bodies at the military gates.
Raven vowed to settle this score, no matter what!
After Raven left the Ortega family, Saxon took Benedict away.
Raven tried once more to reach out to Cassian, but there was still no response.
Just as she set her phone down, a message from Rin popped up on the screen.
The message included an attachment, roughly 4MB in size.
“Miss Valor, the photos in the attachment are of the experimental subject I mentioned earlier–a total heartthrob. If you agree to join Indigo Lab, this hot guy is all yours to handle.”
