Chapter 74: Dissent with the Military?

Feeling the killing intent, the woman gulped, a hint of fear in her eyes. But when she thought of her plan, she regained her confidence.

"I want the corpse of that bird."

Ray's eyes narrowed as he glanced at her badge.

"So your name is Violet?"

"So what?" Violet responded bravely, meeting his gaze.

"Today, I'm going to take the corpse of that bird from you by hook or by crook."

"Why are you even interested in that?" Ray asked, narrowing his eyes as he slowly walked toward her.

Violet avoided his gaze. "It's none of your business."

He had already closed the distance, his frame towering over her as he forced her chin up to meet his eyes.

"Look at me."

Violet felt an overwhelming killing intent that made her body tremble. Her purple hair, freely flowing, seemed to stand on end as if static electricity was slowly flowing through the entire area.

"Do you believe I can't kill you?" Ray asked, his expression ferocious.

"That's enough, Violet."

Suddenly, a stern voice rang out in a reprimanding tone.

"Oh?" Ray turned to see a middle-aged man wearing a general's uniform, with five stars on his shoulders—the highest rank in the military.

"What do you want, General?" Ray asked playfully, letting Violet go. She fell to the ground, looking at Ray with weary eyes.

She didn't actually want to deal with him—she was always scared of him. But this was an order from her father and her very first mission. How could she refuse?

"We want to trade the Raven with you, and we're willing to pay any price."

"I'm not interested in any of your offers, General." Ray shook his head with a smile.

His eyes flashed with a threatening gaze as he walked away.

This guy didn't relent; he had a tough personality. The military was determined to control individuals with the power to potentially destroy everything, no matter the cost.

Ray had been placed in the highest position, even above the King, and he secretly gave orders to the army stationed inside the city. As for Violet, she remained silent, closing her eyes.

"The old man really has gone senile after losing my mother," she thought, a hint of sadness in her heart.

Ray stood motionless, his gaze fixed on the backs of the two as they walked away. Veins bulged as he clenched his fists, tearing through his upper clothes.

"I'll show you what true terror is, old man," Ray muttered.

He didn't immediately strike back. Instead, he turned and quickly moved away, hearing the distant rumble of tanks and missiles being deployed.

The military was indeed attacking his apartment.

In an instant, Ray shot forward, the world around him seemed to crumble as he smashed through every obstacle in his path—cars were flung aside like children's toys, and buildings shattered

The first tank that came into view met its end with terrifying swiftness. Ray's powerful hands grasped the tank, his fingers crushing its armor as if it were made of tin. He twisted the massive vehicle with ease and hurled it towards the sky.

The tank directly crashed into one of the helicopters and directly exploded.

Boom!

Ray looked around and found a missile launching towards his apartment, his rage erupted uncontrollably.

"They dare," Ray muttered, shooting up into the sky and destroying the missile with a single punch.

Boom!

The explosion erupted in mid-air, creating a terrifying shockwave as Ray effortlessly walked out of the dust.

"Since you are really courting death, then I will give you death," Ray mumbled with bloodshot eyes.

It was impossible to say he had no feelings for the woman he had stayed with; how could he watch them die right before his eyes?

"Ray, you're here!" Evelyn shouted, her face brightening as she casually threw one of her swords at a soldier, killing him instantly.
