They had just witnessed the untouchable Cassian-the man they saw as a god among mortals-get shamelessly
flirted with, even claimed, by a woman they regarded as filth. And worse, that woman dared to do it right in front
of them, as if mocking their existence.
How could someone be so brazen, so utterly shameless?
A wave of fury rippled through the room. The way the girls stared at Raven now, it was as if they were all holding
invisible daggers, ready to rip her to pieces.
But no one moved.
They were waiting for Cassian.
They refused to believe he'd let this slide. That woman had just humiliated him in public-surely he wouldn't let it
go unpunished.
Because the only thing more painful than being rejected... was watching the person you loved get stolen right in
front of
you.

There was no way Cassian would tolerate this. He was Cassian. He had to put her in her place.
And yet, what happened next left them completely speechless.
Under their collective gaze, Cassian-always cool, always distant-actually smiled.
Just the faintest hint of amusement curved his lips, but it was unmistakable. Their idol... smiled at her?
Before they could recover, Raven swept her gaze across the room, her voice steady, eyes devoid of even a hint
of humor.
"I happen to like men you all think are out of my league. And frankly, | don't care if you don't approve. So if
you've got a problem with it-keep it to yourself."
Her tone sharpened, each word striking like a whip.
"From now on, if | hear one more useless word out of anyone's mouth, don't bother packing. You can get the hell
out of Regalhold University."
Silence fell.
And in that silence, one word echoed in every girl's mind: Arrogant. This woman was unbelievably arrogant.
She was from sbackwater town, clinging to men for a shortcut up the ladder, and yet she dared to stand
there, flaunting like she belonged? Where did she get the nerve?
Then, without warning, one of the girls-curvy, fierce, and known to be Cassian's most loyal fangirl-snapped.
"You must have a death wish."
She lunged at Raven, fury blazing in her eyes. She was going to teach this shameless tramp a lesson she
wouldn't forget.
But just as she was about to reach Raven, something flew through the air with a sharp whip.
A hardcover book slammed into her with brutal precision-thrown by none other than Cassian.

Chapter 138
The force of it knocked her clean off her feet, sending her crashing onto the floor in front of the lectern. The
elderly professor nearby gasped and stumbled backward in shock.
But the girl who had been hit didn't react to the pain. She didn't scream or cry.
She just stared at Cassian, wide-eyed, her face frozen in disbelief.
'He hit me. Cassian actually hit me, the woman thought.
She lay there, stunned, her thoughts spinning. 'Had he... already fallen for that woman?"
Around the room, no one moved. The other girls were equally stunned. "Cassian... don't tellyou actually like
her?" someone whispered uncertainly.
That question silenced the room. No one answered-but everyone was thinking the sthing.
They didn't want to believe it, but Cassian's small smile after being kissed, his complete lack of rejection, his
protective strike just now-it all said the sthing. This woman was different to him.
For the first time, the hatred in their eyes shifted-replaced by something deeper. Real jealousy. And bitter,

resentment.
Why her? By family, by looks, by strength-most of them far outshone that woman. And yet none of them dared
to believe they were worthy of Cassian.
So why did she get to stand beside him?
The room remained silent for several seconds-until the girl who had earlier gossiped about Preston and Blake
delivering breakfast to Raven suddenly stood up, her voice shrill with desperation.
"Cassian! She was flirting with Preston this morning-and sother guy too! Don't let that slut fool you!"
Almost the moment the words left her mouth, Raven's hand moved.
A sharp snap echoed through the room as something flew from her fingers and struck the girl square in the
chest. The sound was crisp and metallic.
Everyone's eyes dropped-just in tto see the badge that had hit her fall to the floor, glinting under the lights.
It wasn't just any badge.
It was an elite combat badge, one only awarded to top-tier military operatives. The entire classroom fell deathly
still.
