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."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz8A7bg6ax
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?"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFIaMVEhQ6
Then he asked in a calm but firm tone: "And what’s my reward for this job?"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliFawPLOyE
The Head of Evren smirked slightly and replied with confidence: "Complete this task successfully, and you’ll receive a massive financial reward."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByLx3UVlRG
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.
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU55UYddx4D
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.
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQSiTGRrXv
Ivan (in shock): "800 million Phoenixes?! How did they agree to this number?!"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWXtLbB7u6
Zairos (with a sarcastic smile): "Heh, how could they refuse? Fear makes humans do anything.
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQg702VMeU
Kain (laughing): "800 million?! We should have raised the number to a billion! Since they can afford it, why not exploit them more?
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId3r3fgEsq
Kain (slouching in the chair): "Honestly, with this amount, we won’t need to work for a long time!
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lB4DAQ0zg
Ivan (raising an eyebrow): "By the way, why did you go without your mask, Zairos?! Have you lost your mind?"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PWTJxEjyH
Zairos (nonchalantly): "Let them figure out my identity... what do you think will happen?"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWWntzKixi
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!
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJyM6rlPuj
Zairos (coldly, with his eyes gleaming with a hidden threat): "No one can do anything. And anyone who dares to challenge us... will die.
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Oyaxjt1k
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?"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EaXXcqQlS
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."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFyhF0EEYC
Kain (angrily): "Nooo! Boss, don’t agree to this! If we divide the money fully among us, we won’t need to work again!
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNckIs85uV
Roderick (in a calm voice, but with a deadly authority): "We will follow what Ivan said."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmor5q9XNb
Roderick: "Who will go to receive the money?"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtMnZ3IYFN
Zairos: "I’ll go. I want to see them."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC0MJMtJJk
Kain: "I’ll go too. It's an easy and profitable job. I should thank them for messing up our work, haha."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE0AgXhez6
Ivan: "I’ll go as well. These people are crazy; they need someone sensible with them, and I think that’s me."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YksbygyWu
Roderick: "Heh, fine, but don’t scare them."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXTIoxoMAn
Kain: "Don’t forget your masks."

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?"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6zAZdLzwN
The family representative replied, "Because we are delivering the money to the Arcadia Organization."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFAqjvduet
Raven, shocked, responded, "Arcadia? The powerful organization?!"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9n8zuEU29
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."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp07kCW05p
Before he could finish his sentence, an illusion appeared behind them, saying, "If they attack you, you won’t be able to defend yourselves."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3JeLiAalp
Zairos and Ivan suddenly appeared.
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrdj6MT7sl
Ivan called out to Kain: "Kain! Come here!"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxZ38LCjjr
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."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xwCS3Sdle
Raven: "It seems their powers are similar, but the one with the sword on his back is more terrifying than the rest."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB70lkdyeE0
Zairos stepped forward with a sinister smile and said, "We hope the money is ready."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vVhmP5E5H
The family representative responded, "Of course."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBggKOM7tPd
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!"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaQYhr5IUa
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.
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNXPCREpGG
Raven, in panic, shouted, "What madness is this? He’ll kill us all!"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrWO4mlU7s
At that moment, Raven raised his hand and cast a powerful spell, shouting, "Thunder Strike!" to block the meteor that was closest to him.
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8gRM2ACV2
Ivan: "Kain, what are you doing?!"
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJJEWNlNsZ
Kain: "I was going to stop it before it touched them."
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xpeGXkASV
Raven, trying to maintain his composure, thought, "I didn’t think they were this strong.
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeeahBz7Mg
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.
