Chapter 436

    Antonio''s face immediately darkened as he turned to Henry, his expression tense and grim.


    He had initially thought Raven was just an insignificant doctor, someone he could crush without any repercussions.


    But to his shock, Raven held an S-level invitation, a game-changing revtion. With this, he realized he couldn''t recklessly pin the me on Raven anymore. "No! You can''t do an autopsy!" Ethan''s voice rang out, sharp and instinctive.


    The moment the words left his mouth, he could feel the shift in the crowd''s gaze. Suspicion hung heavy in the air, their eyes piercing and usatory.


    He hurried to exin, "Ms. Rickard cared deeply about her appearance when she was alive. Cutting into her body now would be a grave insult to her memory!"


    As he spoke, his hand shot up, finger pointing directly at Raven. "Admit it! You must have manipted Dr. Reed into conspiring with you to murder Ms. Rickard!"


    Raven''s expression turned icy. She could tolerate being ndered, but dragging Ethan into this? That was a step too far.


    In a sh, she closed the distance between them, her hand mping around Henry''s throat with unrelenting force.


    A strangled sound escaped him as he struggled against her grip.


    Raven''s gaze locked onto him, her voice cold and cutting. "If Ethan were truly under my maniption, would he have suggested an autopsy? Tell me, are you against the autopsy because you care, or because you''re afraid it''ll reveal your role in Helena''s murder?"


    Henry felt the crushing grip on his neck, a force that could snuff out his life at any moment. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.


    As an Elite Warrior, he never expected Raven to appear in front of him in the blink of an eye, catching himpletely off guard and leaving him utterly defenseless. "How dare you!"


    Antonio stumbled back a few steps, visibly shaken by Raven''s audacity to grab Henry by the throat right in front of him.


    But he quickly forced himself to stay calm, his voice sharp andmanding as he barked at Raven, "Do you have no respect for the Sunset Empire''s authority? How dare you attack him right in front of me?"


    Raven let out a coldugh at his words. "Rules are for people who deserve them. A scumbag like him? He doesn''t qualify!"


    With that, she tightened her grip slightly, and Henry''s face turned a sickly purple as his breathing becamebored.


    "Let go of him! Now!" Antonio''s voice trembled with fury. "If you don''t stop, I''ll shoot!"


    He knew that if Raven killed Henry under his watch, his position as team leader would be finished.


    As Antonio''s words fell, the police officers surrounding Raven immediately drew their handguns, aiming them squarely at


    her.


    Ethan saw the situation descending into chaos and quickly stepped forward, raising his voice to restore order. "Calm down! Everyone, let''s not lose our heads here!"


    His eyes darted to the police officers, their guns aimed squarely at Raven. With a tense expression, he said, "Lunshire''s acting head doesn''t want Ms. Rickard''s body to be dissected. I can understand that. But there are other ways to uncover the truth behind her death. There''s no need to let this spiral out of control!"


    Antonio, however, was unmoved. His face was cold as he retorted, "This isn''t about the autopsy anymore. What she''s doing now is a crime, and the punishment for that is immediate execution!"


    Turning to Raven, his tone was sharp andmanding, "This is yourst warning-let him go!"


    Raven suddenly chuckled, herughter cutting through the tension like a knife.


    Instead of releasing Henry, she tightened her grip even further. "You think I''ll let him go just because you said so? Who do you think you are?"


    "How dare you!" Antonio''s face turned a deep shade of red, his anger boiling over at Raven''s defiance.


    But no matter how furious he was, he couldn''t act recklessly. Lunshire was one of the most powerful in the world, and if anything happened to Henry because of him, the consequen ould be catastrophic.


    Sessfully unlocked!


    The atmosphere gradually descended into a tense standoff.


    Ethan turned to Antonio and spoke again, his tone steady and diplomatic. "How about we both take a step back? Raven, let him go, and Captain Duran, let''s not hold her impulsive actions against her. Does that work for you?”


    Antonio stared at Raven for a few seconds, his expression conflicted, before reluctantly nodding.


    Chapter 436 Send You To Join Helena


    With a casual flick of her wrist, Raven sent Henry''s body flying through the air like


    a dried leaf, crashing heavily to the floor


    Henry, now sprawled on the ground, coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His eyes burned with hatred as he red at Raven.


    He never imagined, not even in his wildest dreams, that he would one day be humiliated by a woman like her.


    Seeing Raven release Henry, Antonio let out a sigh of relief.


    But before he could fully rx, Raven''s voice suddenly rang out, sharp andmanding. “Arrange for an autopsy on Helena" As she spoke, her gaze dropped on Henry who instinctively opened his mouth to protest.


    She continued solemnly, "If I hear one more word of nonsense from you, I''ll personally send you to join Helena in the afterlife."
