The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 356

Chapter 356 So Considerate

On the other end of the call, Lionel, noticing Miles's silence, doubled down on his heartfelt persuasion, "Miles, you've always been my most fearless and capable general. Staying in the military will bring you far more than leaving ever could. "But after all these years, I've come to see you as my brother. How could I stand by and watch your health decline day by day?

"Life's too short, Miles. In these final years, you should learn to live for yourself!"

Raven listened to Lionel's words and couldn't help but think, 'What a waste for someone this skilled at emotional manipulation to not be on our side.'

That heartfelt plea and his selfless act of putting Miles's well-being above his interests were masterful.

Miles, perhaps already numb to such words, showed little reaction, his expression calm and steady. "There's no need to persuade me. I was born in Vyrdenia and will die for her. If I must die, it'll be on the battlefield.

"As for my granddaughter, I trust the higher-ups won't be so heartless as to harm the family of someone who has sworn unwavering loyalty to the nation. Otherwise, it would crush the morale of every soldier in the military."

Lionel fell silent, completely stunned by the unwavering tone in Miles's voice. He never imagined that Miles, who had always been so compliant, would suddenly refuse to budge.
