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."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW4H7xuYJd
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?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv0WvIxuuU
Then he asked in a calm but firm tone: "And what’s my reward for this job?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCtW1NviLW
The Head of Evren smirked slightly and replied with confidence: "Complete this task successfully, and you’ll receive a massive financial reward."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL7af6c26y
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI8OhyuxhI
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbzN5He85R
Ivan (in shock): "800 million Phoenixes?! How did they agree to this number?!"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yNiYIp08i
Zairos (with a sarcastic smile): "Heh, how could they refuse? Fear makes humans do anything.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cbAAWHYFq
Kain (laughing): "800 million?! We should have raised the number to a billion! Since they can afford it, why not exploit them more?
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6G4ZLmoC7
Kain (slouching in the chair): "Honestly, with this amount, we won’t need to work for a long time!
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dsEIm9Lx1
Ivan (raising an eyebrow): "By the way, why did you go without your mask, Zairos?! Have you lost your mind?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CMRzVLReZ
Zairos (nonchalantly): "Let them figure out my identity... what do you think will happen?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nwJKyy3JG
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!
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAke2s3eBKd
Zairos (coldly, with his eyes gleaming with a hidden threat): "No one can do anything. And anyone who dares to challenge us... will die.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ2UnexcP4
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?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcKdOfaewK
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."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zdd6bjOqs
Kain (angrily): "Nooo! Boss, don’t agree to this! If we divide the money fully among us, we won’t need to work again!
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67zVn5l4j7
Roderick (in a calm voice, but with a deadly authority): "We will follow what Ivan said."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LiiGiIvlv
Roderick: "Who will go to receive the money?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Fa40jE2C
Zairos: "I’ll go. I want to see them."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdYqNg1LmO
Kain: "I’ll go too. It's an easy and profitable job. I should thank them for messing up our work, haha."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1iq7hlFAY
Ivan: "I’ll go as well. These people are crazy; they need someone sensible with them, and I think that’s me."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnRuckHmzh
Roderick: "Heh, fine, but don’t scare them."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tyVXafaf1
Kain: "Don’t forget your masks."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn2kNT22Ys
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?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1UnmAramV
The family representative replied, "Because we are delivering the money to the Arcadia Organization."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e9a5FCDnv
Raven, shocked, responded, "Arcadia? The powerful organization?!"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyI099gdgX
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."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWhgBWaZ4S
Before he could finish his sentence, an illusion appeared behind them, saying, "If they attack you, you won’t be able to defend yourselves."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCtacb2WyJ
Zairos and Ivan suddenly appeared.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2wVRyZQFm
Ivan called out to Kain: "Kain! Come here!"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYqVFdRyJL
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."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHx6q0I6Vk
Raven: "It seems their powers are similar, but the one with the sword on his back is more terrifying than the rest."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAyoXxLprq
Zairos stepped forward with a sinister smile and said, "We hope the money is ready."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQtgEi7llO
The family representative responded, "Of course."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD5k43J1my
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!"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LGbUfR4Ga
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.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN6UeYwCfA
Raven, in panic, shouted, "What madness is this? He’ll kill us all!"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVkJckJOzP
At that moment, Raven raised his hand and cast a powerful spell, shouting, "Thunder Strike!" to block the meteor that was closest to him.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGQHmLVowF
Ivan: "Kain, what are you doing?!"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBshvypSVsN
Kain: "I was going to stop it before it touched them."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu53brrCy97
Raven, trying to maintain his composure, thought, "I didn’t think they were this strong.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5mWvM8Smg
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.
