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."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy83ynNsNYr
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?"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnwMYtoZYh
Then he asked in a calm but firm tone: "And what’s my reward for this job?"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HBRlbw2Pt
The Head of Evren smirked slightly and replied with confidence: "Complete this task successfully, and you’ll receive a massive financial reward."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8iQJYxwmk
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.

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.
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qfNSGVzpn
Ivan (in shock): "800 million Phoenixes?! How did they agree to this number?!"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCI6GgaqIq
Zairos (with a sarcastic smile): "Heh, how could they refuse? Fear makes humans do anything.
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC07Crbpf3J
Kain (laughing): "800 million?! We should have raised the number to a billion! Since they can afford it, why not exploit them more?
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQiKI3XEIQ
Kain (slouching in the chair): "Honestly, with this amount, we won’t need to work for a long time!
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46xrZQ7g1f
Ivan (raising an eyebrow): "By the way, why did you go without your mask, Zairos?! Have you lost your mind?"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyrf4YuXY3
Zairos (nonchalantly): "Let them figure out my identity... what do you think will happen?"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE4O5pSbvN
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!
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP3jZubPM6
Zairos (coldly, with his eyes gleaming with a hidden threat): "No one can do anything. And anyone who dares to challenge us... will die.
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXX4YeWaHB
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?"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTR9mWvBKw
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."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF3P3NAE3r
Kain (angrily): "Nooo! Boss, don’t agree to this! If we divide the money fully among us, we won’t need to work again!
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGQc6cvWEy
Roderick (in a calm voice, but with a deadly authority): "We will follow what Ivan said."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCesbo6LmJ
Roderick: "Who will go to receive the money?"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN6T533Bjs
Zairos: "I’ll go. I want to see them."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN2naC7SYR
Kain: "I’ll go too. It's an easy and profitable job. I should thank them for messing up our work, haha."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmGxAHHsAx
Ivan: "I’ll go as well. These people are crazy; they need someone sensible with them, and I think that’s me."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoH0qnv7Dz
Roderick: "Heh, fine, but don’t scare them."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJZppA0ZHm
Kain: "Don’t forget your masks."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ5DeCmYl9
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?"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xyjb4KxgL
The family representative replied, "Because we are delivering the money to the Arcadia Organization."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh52f442SU
Raven, shocked, responded, "Arcadia? The powerful organization?!"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn1cNwFtm6
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."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZNT39uc5w
Before he could finish his sentence, an illusion appeared behind them, saying, "If they attack you, you won’t be able to defend yourselves."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhVIGTpVQQ
Zairos and Ivan suddenly appeared.
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWX1tmSLdP
Ivan called out to Kain: "Kain! Come here!"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedyA2rDbzl
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."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57kZRrWb26
Raven: "It seems their powers are similar, but the one with the sword on his back is more terrifying than the rest."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjHaCMtbtX
Zairos stepped forward with a sinister smile and said, "We hope the money is ready."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp55OH45fT
The family representative responded, "Of course."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmlrFeKv6T
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!"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhuEScGifK
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.
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPtruvf2Fc
Raven, in panic, shouted, "What madness is this? He’ll kill us all!"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7PNZUitaH
At that moment, Raven raised his hand and cast a powerful spell, shouting, "Thunder Strike!" to block the meteor that was closest to him.
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqi3cSwyCi
Ivan: "Kain, what are you doing?!"
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjcig53rC7
Kain: "I was going to stop it before it touched them."
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPlwBA9L07
Raven, trying to maintain his composure, thought, "I didn’t think they were this strong.
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyby7tJWdBW
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.
