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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtUvED6cQv
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?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjirbytLZaq
Then he asked in a calm but firm tone: "And what’s my reward for this job?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9EC2BuSJb
The Head of Evren smirked slightly and replied with confidence: "Complete this task successfully, and you’ll receive a massive financial reward."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjLnAUWWW5
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.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qY9zXTWZB
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.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc20rIQxEiS
Ivan (in shock): "800 million Phoenixes?! How did they agree to this number?!"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkv84Iipqp
Zairos (with a sarcastic smile): "Heh, how could they refuse? Fear makes humans do anything.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFXtbQjxMC
Kain (laughing): "800 million?! We should have raised the number to a billion! Since they can afford it, why not exploit them more?
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah5qVekjJb
Kain (slouching in the chair): "Honestly, with this amount, we won’t need to work for a long time!
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPWoJO7Mli
Ivan (raising an eyebrow): "By the way, why did you go without your mask, Zairos?! Have you lost your mind?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlWxx5ZCdI
Zairos (nonchalantly): "Let them figure out my identity... what do you think will happen?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHpLzM3Zup
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!
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfujYGjQJfJ
Zairos (coldly, with his eyes gleaming with a hidden threat): "No one can do anything. And anyone who dares to challenge us... will die.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fLJ0hzl0b
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?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTp6hm4QQf
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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQpopOD6Xv
Kain (angrily): "Nooo! Boss, don’t agree to this! If we divide the money fully among us, we won’t need to work again!
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuprFfpJUuy
Roderick (in a calm voice, but with a deadly authority): "We will follow what Ivan said."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8AvLV87j1
Roderick: "Who will go to receive the money?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKclE51jVSN
Zairos: "I’ll go. I want to see them."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftO6yGTETU
Kain: "I’ll go too. It's an easy and profitable job. I should thank them for messing up our work, haha."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiYYppFjxG
Ivan: "I’ll go as well. These people are crazy; they need someone sensible with them, and I think that’s me."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOypj1vucT
Roderick: "Heh, fine, but don’t scare them."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR9xtT7hDv
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?"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J26Bc3WIO
The family representative replied, "Because we are delivering the money to the Arcadia Organization."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkppHtSOS82
Raven, shocked, responded, "Arcadia? The powerful organization?!"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nCi5BKVtl
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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUirCjRAl35
Before he could finish his sentence, an illusion appeared behind them, saying, "If they attack you, you won’t be able to defend yourselves."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTaTyxxdxE
Zairos and Ivan suddenly appeared.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJslp8OzrL
Ivan called out to Kain: "Kain! Come here!"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf0webcrpl
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."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rGXOlvMO8
Raven: "It seems their powers are similar, but the one with the sword on his back is more terrifying than the rest."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIFb0YfCde
Zairos stepped forward with a sinister smile and said, "We hope the money is ready."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSvhcAdtEo
The family representative responded, "Of course."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzp3kjsGHy
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!"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzWNjr9DTZ
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.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYUweX51hq
Raven, in panic, shouted, "What madness is this? He’ll kill us all!"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPr7KWz2Ez
At that moment, Raven raised his hand and cast a powerful spell, shouting, "Thunder Strike!" to block the meteor that was closest to him.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXDuZne4TB
Ivan: "Kain, what are you doing?!"
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwGHtMChiz
Kain: "I was going to stop it before it touched them."
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPRXI02UIt
Raven, trying to maintain his composure, thought, "I didn’t think they were this strong.
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwwrG8QxUH
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.
