The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 126

"If you'd just behaved after I broke your hand, I might've let you off the hook and spared you a trip to the president's office after school," Raven said, her tone calm but sharp enough to cut steel. "But since you're so eager-well, it would be rude of me not to accept your request, wouldn't it?"

She looked Harvey dead in the eye. "After school. I'll be waiting for you outside the president's hall."

But before her words had fully faded, Harvey's voice rang out, furious and commanding. "We're going now."

Raven shot him a glance, her expression completely unbothered. "I'm busy."

She turned and walked away without looking back.

"Stop right there!" Harvey barked, eyes blazing.

She didn't even flinch.

Harvey shouted, "I said stop!"

But Raven didn't listen.

Harvey's face turned red with rage, his body trembling as if he might cough up blood at any moment.

Just as he opened his mouth, about to hurl an insult in desperation, a cool, warning voice cut in beside him.

"I wouldn't shout if I were you," said the voice. "Push her too far, and you'll be lucky if a broken hand is all you lose."

Harvey spun around-and froze when he saw Caleb standing there, calm and casual.

Caleb walked up beside him and added softly, "I'll say this just once-out of respect for the fact that your father helped the Valor family in the past-don't mess with her. If she really gets serious, no one will be able to save you."

Harvey's gaze locked on Caleb's for a long second, then he turned away. Cradling his injured arm, he staggered to his feet and forced himself upright.
