Chapter 392 Who Did You Want To Kick Out?
Rupert instinctively nodded upon hearing Raven’s question.
However, before he could respond, Ellie suddenly let out a cold laugh and said, “You want to meet Her Highness Lota? You re just a thief who stole someone else’s medical technique–what right do you have to see Her Highness Lola? Everyone in the room, including the doctors and Rupert, turned their gaze toward Raven upon hearing her words
When Raven was treating the princess earlier, Ellie had already accused her of stealing the technique.
At the time, Raven didn’t say anything, so no one knew whether she was admitting it or just didn’t have the chance to respond.
Now, the matter clearly needed an explanation.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Raven tilted her head slightly and looked at Ellie. “Stole?”
“That’s right! This Nine Meridians Technique is a unique method my teacher just developed recently. If you didn’t steal it, how else could you have learned it?”
Raven stared at her for a few seconds, a flicker of cold light flashing in her eyes. “Who’s your teacher?”
Ellie looked like she had just heard the funniest joke in the world. “You stole my teacher’s technique and now claim you don‘ t even know who my teacher is?”
Before Raven could reply, Ellie turned directly to Rupert beside her. “Mr. Powell, it’s true that she alleviated the princess’s condition, but the acupuncture she used was stolen. Strictly speaking, the one who truly saved the princess was my
teacher!”
The surrounding doctors, hearing Ellie’s confident tone, couldn’t help but look at Raven with a trace of doubt in their eyes. They were all somewhat familiar with Ellie and naturally knew that her teacher was the most highly regarded student of the famed healer Ethan.
Someone that talented indeed had the ability to create such a technique.
If Raven had really used a stolen technique to treat the princess, then saying it was Ellie’s teacher who saved the princess didn’t seem all that unreasonable.
But… was Raven’s acupuncture really stolen?
Ignoring the reactions around her, Ellie turned to Rupert again and said, “So, Mr. Powell, the one who should be meeting Her Highness Lola and receiving the reward for curing the princess should be my teacher!
“My teacher is already on the way. Now, please throw this woman, who stole my teacher’s original technique, out!*
As Ellie’s voice fell, Raven’s expression turned icy, as though a layer of frost had settled over her face.
In two lifetimes, this was the first time she’d ever been slandered so viciously.
If this woman was so eager to die, Raven didn’t mind sending her off.
Shhk!
But just as Raven was about to make a move on Ellie, a serpent–shaped dart suddenly whizzed past her ear.
“Ah!”
A sharp pain shot through Ellie’s ear, and she let out a scream she couldn’t hold back.
A lock of her hair was sliced in half and fluttered to the floor.
At the same time, a wound cut across half her ear, and droplets of blood dripped onto her shoulder, staining a large patch of her white coat red.
Instinctively, she clutched the wound and looked in disbelief at Hiemaly, who had been standing quietly beside Raven the . whole time–someone she had always assumed was just a bodyguard.
She thought the man must be crazy to attack her in the royal palace of the Sunset Empire.
Under Ellie’s pained and shocked gaze, Hiemaly glanced at her like he was looking at trash. His thin lips, pressed into a line, parted slightly, and a cold, flat voice emerged, “Who did you just say you were going to throw out?”
