The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 26

Their words hit like a bomb, loud and earth-shaking.

In that instant, Eddie, Vivian, and the whole Grayson family crew felt their minds

go blank, too shocked to snap out of it.

The air went dead quiet, so still it felt like it was choking them.

But Raven, facing this wild scene, just gave a small nod, cool as ever.

"Get up," she said.

Then she slowly looked over at Jax, sprawled out on the ground, his face white as a sheet.

"I gave you a shot before," she said, her voice flat.

It was so even you couldn't tell if she was pissed or fine with it-like she didn't care either way.

That calm tone alone made Jax's heart sink, a cold fear slicing right through him.

His good-looking face locked up as he stared at Raven, his eyes a jumble of feelings.

Right then, he got it: the Grayson family was screwed this time.

Meanwhile, Dane, next to Jax, kept shaking his head, mumbling without even noticing.

"No way this is real," he said. "She's just a kid, not even twenty. How'd the Hendersons end up with a monster like her?"

At the same time, the two hundred-plus hired goons the Grayson family dragged in were staring at Raven, eyes full of disbelief.

Valhalla was the ultimate goal for anyone who fought for a living-everybody knew that name.

But they never dreamed its boss would be some young girl still wet behind the ears!

A second later, a massive wave of regret slammed into them, heavy as anything.

With their skills, getting into Valhalla was already a stretch-now it was pretty much a lost cause.
