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."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCPx7Gnp0h
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?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGIWvpUCo1
Then he asked in a calm but firm tone: "And what’s my reward for this job?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6li9Ivm6Wy
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.

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.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgzcbWgpwi
Ivan (in shock): "800 million Phoenixes?! How did they agree to this number?!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY42gQ9PbZQ
Zairos (with a sarcastic smile): "Heh, how could they refuse? Fear makes humans do anything.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wTtpcgqdh
Kain (laughing): "800 million?! We should have raised the number to a billion! Since they can afford it, why not exploit them more?
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdzlC1bP7r
Kain (slouching in the chair): "Honestly, with this amount, we won’t need to work for a long time!
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlgybMtcCN
Ivan (raising an eyebrow): "By the way, why did you go without your mask, Zairos?! Have you lost your mind?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc1xPLehHC
Zairos (nonchalantly): "Let them figure out my identity... what do you think will happen?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL6Ue8lw9T
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!
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9cDPkCrSP
Zairos (coldly, with his eyes gleaming with a hidden threat): "No one can do anything. And anyone who dares to challenge us... will die.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGvbsLl73P
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?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXcNPb7efh
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."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDGWm0FhZ5
Kain (angrily): "Nooo! Boss, don’t agree to this! If we divide the money fully among us, we won’t need to work again!
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4v6H4b222
Roderick (in a calm voice, but with a deadly authority): "We will follow what Ivan said."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfUH6OAdNV
Roderick: "Who will go to receive the money?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zgGrUmIXl
Zairos: "I’ll go. I want to see them."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfJePQme4y
Kain: "I’ll go too. It's an easy and profitable job. I should thank them for messing up our work, haha."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbwCu5HWT2
Ivan: "I’ll go as well. These people are crazy; they need someone sensible with them, and I think that’s me."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KTwbxtuqy
Roderick: "Heh, fine, but don’t scare them."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oJmmc6uGg
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?"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBpMiMbGrK
The family representative replied, "Because we are delivering the money to the Arcadia Organization."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPv6pQAYsF
Raven, shocked, responded, "Arcadia? The powerful organization?!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6S3ghjU3W
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."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLENd5tJAv
Before he could finish his sentence, an illusion appeared behind them, saying, "If they attack you, you won’t be able to defend yourselves."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFktDjpvWY
Zairos and Ivan suddenly appeared.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvzRRAqaZw
Ivan called out to Kain: "Kain! Come here!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IEjK5VHJD
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."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT2sMlV5zu
Raven: "It seems their powers are similar, but the one with the sword on his back is more terrifying than the rest."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW2297vJuJ
Zairos stepped forward with a sinister smile and said, "We hope the money is ready."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQDvCCd4Ms
The family representative responded, "Of course."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ttVoS9KSP
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!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8RHZuV7Ab
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.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdRIVu2ZlZ
Raven, in panic, shouted, "What madness is this? He’ll kill us all!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z2TxRzF8U
At that moment, Raven raised his hand and cast a powerful spell, shouting, "Thunder Strike!" to block the meteor that was closest to him.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMtl9IHVuy
Ivan: "Kain, what are you doing?!"
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uk7E5Rq47
Kain: "I was going to stop it before it touched them."
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8bPkyaLj6
Raven, trying to maintain his composure, thought, "I didn’t think they were this strong.
554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrBM1QvqA7
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.
