Chapter 75
Raven just stood there, letting them talk, her face unreadable. It wasn’t until the room fell silent again that she finally spoke. “You done?” she asked,
voice calm.
The tanned soldier smirked, dropping the respectful act entirely. “Look, kid,” he said lazily. “We’re not gonna make this hard on you. Just read us the training manual or whatever, then get lost.”
The moment the words left his mouth, something blurred in front of his eyes. Before he could even register what was happening, a cold, steel–like grip closed around his throat.
“Ugh!” The soldier mind blanked as the sheer force of that grip crushed down, his instincts screaming that his neck was about to snap like a twig,
The scene before their eyes unfolded with astonishing speed. By the time everyone realized what was happening, the tanned soldier’s eyes had rolled back, clearly on the verge of being strangled to death.
Caleb’s smirk vanished in an instant, replaced by pure disbelief. ‘What the fuck?!‘ His brain struggled to catch up. ‘How? I’m a peak–level Intermediate Warrior, and I didn’t even see her move. Is she even human?‘
A soldier snapped back to reality. “Let him go!” Under the intense pressure of possible death at any moment, he almost didn’t think, directly snapping at Raven in a cold voice.
Raven turned her head slightly, fixing her gaze on the tall soldier who had spoken up. The moment their eyes met, his breath hitched, and he instinctively took a step back.
A second later, Raven hurled the choking soldier several yards away. Then, she walked straight towards the tall soldier.
The tall soldier felt the blood drain from his face. His body tensed as she closed the distance between them, every step slow, deliberate, predatory.
His pulse pounded in his ears. His legs moved before his brain could process it, stumbling backward until–shit–his knees gave out, and he landed on his
ass.
Raven still didn’t stop.
As Raven approached, he felt more and more clearly the cold and stern aura around her. Shrouded by her aura, he couldn’t help but stumble backward. His voice trembled as he spoke, “W–What are you doing…”
The other soldiers held their breaths. Although Raven’s imposing presence wasn’t directed at them, the mere wisps of her aura sent chills down their
spines.
A question arose in the minds of all the soldiers, ‘Is this woman before them truly a young lady in her twenties?‘ Even Jonah, a brigadier general, didn’t possess such a terrifying aura.
It was just a simple briefing before basic training. Anyone from the military would have sufficed. ‘Why send such a bad ass? Do they want to give us pre- training or simply crush us?‘ they screamed inwardly.
While the others stood there questioning what was happening, the tall soldier’s breath came in ragged gasps as he scrambled back. “D–Don’t come any closer! I swear, if you do, I’ll–I’ll-
Raven tilted her head, waiting. But he never finished his sentence. After a long pause, she finally spoke. “Were you the one who just told me to let him
BO?”
