The next morning, Raven received an official summons to the Evren estate. He knew something was wrong, walking through the luxurious halls while muttering to himself: "Looks like Ryo exposed me... What do they want from me now?"
Inside the grand hall, the Head of the Evren Family sat on his ornate seat, his sharp gaze fixed on Raven before speaking:

"You’re quite strong, Raven. That’s why I have a special task for you. I want you to oversee this operation… You must ensure that the money reaches its recipients safely. You only need to secure the funds until delivery, where our family’s representative will handle the rest."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGMJGtCiwu
Raven stared at the head of the family for a moment, thinking: "Right now, I’m stronger than everyone here… except for him. Should I refuse? Or accept?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYTLhGWPg5
Then he asked in a calm but firm tone: "And what’s my reward for this job?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F13LknATu
The Head of Evren smirked slightly and replied with confidence: "Complete this task successfully, and you’ll receive a massive financial reward."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd3t1dPnHi
Raven considered for a moment before nodding and saying: "Alright… I’ll do it."

Raven returned home, lying on his bed as he thought about the upcoming mission. Only three days remained before the event, so he decided to use this time for training to be fully prepared.

Meanwhile, on the borders of the state of Esteria, in a desolate place far from prying eyes, there was a secret tunnel leading to the underground headquarters of the Arcadia Organization. The headquarters was vast, dimly lit by faint lights that gave it a mysteRyous appearance.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbSQbacD3n
Not all the members of the organization were present, only four of them gathered in the private meeting room. At the head of the table sat Roderick, the leader of Arcadia, . Beside him sat his deputy Zairos, . In front of them were Ivan and Kain, arguing over the incoming money.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pxQCFNAu3
Ivan (in shock): "800 million Phoenixes?! How did they agree to this number?!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfJ4ZrDhzt
Zairos (with a sarcastic smile): "Heh, how could they refuse? Fear makes humans do anything.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpG0sT7Jer
Kain (laughing): "800 million?! We should have raised the number to a billion! Since they can afford it, why not exploit them more?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xAY7fL9KI
Kain (slouching in the chair): "Honestly, with this amount, we won’t need to work for a long time!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsq0sGeQGF
Ivan (raising an eyebrow): "By the way, why did you go without your mask, Zairos?! Have you lost your mind?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMGquXLmK8
Zairos (nonchalantly): "Let them figure out my identity... what do you think will happen?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmisvQozC6H
Ivan (angrily): "We wear masks to protect our normal lives! Without them, everyone will know we’re part of Arcadia, and that will bring us trouble!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Kq9BUXKZ
Zairos (coldly, with his eyes gleaming with a hidden threat): "No one can do anything. And anyone who dares to challenge us... will die.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6dJDVWZlO
Kain (stretching out in boredom): "Anyway, when will the money arrive? I need 200 million now, you know I love to travel and explore the world! Why waste my time in these meetings when I could be flying somewhere else?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CqE4Jf3Tp
Ivan (seRyously): "We’ll take 400 million and keep it to fund the organization's operations. As for the other 400 million, we’ll distribute it among the nine members."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyctZobFe4G
Kain (angrily): "Nooo! Boss, don’t agree to this! If we divide the money fully among us, we won’t need to work again!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQmsYgKccb
Roderick (in a calm voice, but with a deadly authority): "We will follow what Ivan said."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhFlaY6f1B
Roderick: "Who will go to receive the money?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQDIDmyU0l
Zairos: "I’ll go. I want to see them."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwrudRjeiA
Kain: "I’ll go too. It's an easy and profitable job. I should thank them for messing up our work, haha."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G8TpHHrQt
Ivan: "I’ll go as well. These people are crazy; they need someone sensible with them, and I think that’s me."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl5S31Ju55
Roderick: "Heh, fine, but don’t scare them."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNA7BVlh64
Kain: "Don’t forget your masks."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTPvmGcfdY
Raven prepared for the mission. He was accompanied by a delegation from the Evren family, consisting of 20 people. He looked at the delegation and asked in surprise, "Why all these people just to deliver money?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy90UT6LJ0H
The family representative replied, "Because we are delivering the money to the Arcadia Organization."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTEZh3kJ07
Raven, shocked, responded, "Arcadia? The powerful organization?!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifLYxdop70
Raven and the delegation arrived at the meeting location. The family representative told Raven, "Stand here, you’re the first line of defense for us if they attack."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ9XxMOqgI
Before he could finish his sentence, an illusion appeared behind them, saying, "If they attack you, you won’t be able to defend yourselves."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoAcWFCJvd
Zairos and Ivan suddenly appeared.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAskhoyXF3a
Ivan called out to Kain: "Kain! Come here!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC11U1IXBdV
The illusion was Kain—he had managed to get this close without them noticing. Raven was stunned and thought, "What kind of disaster am I in? One of these guys could wipe us all out."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggCwgt6d1I
Raven: "It seems their powers are similar, but the one with the sword on his back is more terrifying than the rest."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEjvHRAgeN
Zairos stepped forward with a sinister smile and said, "We hope the money is ready."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRckJd9y0L
The family representative responded, "Of course."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiMJDUFNAA
After receiving the money, Kain, who had planned to scare them in any way possible, suddenly screamed loudly. Everyone covered their ears; it was a display of his power. Then, he raised his hand and launched a magical attack into the sky, saying, "Kain’s Meteors!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOksyx153z
The attack soared into the sky, then curved and returned to the ground as smaller and faster meteors. The scene turned chaotic as meteors began falling around them.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf3HAZ67wd
Raven, in panic, shouted, "What madness is this? He’ll kill us all!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqutgm4w6VZ
At that moment, Raven raised his hand and cast a powerful spell, shouting, "Thunder Strike!" to block the meteor that was closest to him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM5vq2HqAL
Ivan: "Kain, what are you doing?!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv6TCDOMg2
Kain: "I was going to stop it before it touched them."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIz4KsLGig
Raven, trying to maintain his composure, thought, "I didn’t think they were this strong.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Ik1c444V
At that moment, Kain felt excited because Raven managed to block his attack. He had expected to see fear in his eyes, but instead, he saw challenge. "This is just the beginning.
