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."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oyv4pCQqt
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?"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm9SKVV8CX
Then he asked in a calm but firm tone: "And what’s my reward for this job?"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKcQIpBnHE
The Head of Evren smirked slightly and replied with confidence: "Complete this task successfully, and you’ll receive a massive financial reward."

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.
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnPbXD80DI
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.
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZFhytFE2u
Ivan (in shock): "800 million Phoenixes?! How did they agree to this number?!"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDN0Hlf0zM
Zairos (with a sarcastic smile): "Heh, how could they refuse? Fear makes humans do anything.
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyE4o1r4Id
Kain (laughing): "800 million?! We should have raised the number to a billion! Since they can afford it, why not exploit them more?
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllGXZK6jvd
Kain (slouching in the chair): "Honestly, with this amount, we won’t need to work for a long time!
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vnFS7GEp1
Ivan (raising an eyebrow): "By the way, why did you go without your mask, Zairos?! Have you lost your mind?"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA21vor6b5n
Zairos (nonchalantly): "Let them figure out my identity... what do you think will happen?"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h7pkESz9i
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!
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlLD3EQ1Mb
Zairos (coldly, with his eyes gleaming with a hidden threat): "No one can do anything. And anyone who dares to challenge us... will die.
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfQ9yNwOiF
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?"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4EUzSShuP
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."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv433Ix5c2E
Kain (angrily): "Nooo! Boss, don’t agree to this! If we divide the money fully among us, we won’t need to work again!
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rlPI3oinL
Roderick (in a calm voice, but with a deadly authority): "We will follow what Ivan said."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwmzcyNzWb
Roderick: "Who will go to receive the money?"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsbYX5oDyB
Zairos: "I’ll go. I want to see them."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFvbwUpqRY
Kain: "I’ll go too. It's an easy and profitable job. I should thank them for messing up our work, haha."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd9GDcS43g
Ivan: "I’ll go as well. These people are crazy; they need someone sensible with them, and I think that’s me."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gqcy8T25R
Roderick: "Heh, fine, but don’t scare them."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTpMIHNnqP
Kain: "Don’t forget your masks."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVVwnj5t0g
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?"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49bIwjreeG
The family representative replied, "Because we are delivering the money to the Arcadia Organization."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPh5tCUUAq
Raven, shocked, responded, "Arcadia? The powerful organization?!"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOaVT9768x
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."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhtcGyDi73
Before he could finish his sentence, an illusion appeared behind them, saying, "If they attack you, you won’t be able to defend yourselves."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvlkr24mcK
Zairos and Ivan suddenly appeared.
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q9KzcC22V
Ivan called out to Kain: "Kain! Come here!"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sBjYglDxp
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."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdqukn1m55
Raven: "It seems their powers are similar, but the one with the sword on his back is more terrifying than the rest."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3d2Nz0MKQ
Zairos stepped forward with a sinister smile and said, "We hope the money is ready."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClegDp4u4R
The family representative responded, "Of course."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNU8VQVHvz
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!"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpdOljYO6D
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.
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSpg1EcrTE
Raven, in panic, shouted, "What madness is this? He’ll kill us all!"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyyB7vOBPc
At that moment, Raven raised his hand and cast a powerful spell, shouting, "Thunder Strike!" to block the meteor that was closest to him.
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6QELaHWhk
Ivan: "Kain, what are you doing?!"
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId4T1Hdqho
Kain: "I was going to stop it before it touched them."
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sPoDMnvbU
Raven, trying to maintain his composure, thought, "I didn’t think they were this strong.
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0MrDmUzFL
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.
