Raven Pavilion.

On the stage, leaning against an elegant middle-aged woman, the woman wore a veil so her true appearance was unclear, but from the exposed skin, it was obvious that she took great care of herself, must have been a remarkable beauty when she was young.

"Mother, you are not feeling well, you should be resting in bed and not overworking yourself!"

Jade stood by the side and spoke, her voice respectful and full of care.

The woman in front of her was the pavilion master of Raven Pavilion.

Since Ella "betrayed" Raven Pavilion, the pavilion master was greatly disappointed and fell seriously ill. After recovering from the illness, her health deteriorated and has not fully recovered.

Jade knew better than anyone how much the pavilion master cared about Ella, more so than her, the nominal "daughter."

If she hadn't incited behind the scenes, the pavilion master wouldn't have been completely disappointed and ordered Ella's death.

Now, due to her health, she could not bear the burden of the entire Raven Pavilion, and had to reluctantly pass on the position to her.

Jade clenched her fists, with a glint of unwillingness in her eyes. It didn't matter, she was already prepared for everything today, just waiting for Ella to fall into the trap. If Ella dares to appear, she is confident that she will make sure she has no place to be buried! Jade smiled slyly, grabbing the master's shoulders. "After lying down for so many years, I've had enough. If I keep lying down like this, I'm afraid I won't suddenly wake up one day," the master sighed softly. "Tch tch tch, the master is going to live to a hundred, how can you say such unlucky words!" Jade cried out urgently, pretending to be obediently hiding in her arms. "Mother is the most important person to Yolanda. If you leave her, she doesn't know how to live in the future." The master gently stroked her hair, with no trace of the former dominance in her eyes, only the vicissitudes of experience. Raven Pavilion was once so glorious, but gradually lost its former brilliance after Ella left. Although Jade is obedient and docile, she cannot find the same affection for Ella in this daughter. Sometimes the master even doubts in her heart whether Ella is her biological daughter, otherwise Jade would have grown up by her side and she wouldn't have this feeling of being a mother.

"Fool, your future is still long. Mother will not be able to accompany you for the rest of your life. Since the succession plan has been handed over to you, everything in Raven Pavilion will belong to you. Mother hopes that you will take good care of Raven Pavilion and bring it back to its peak. Otherwise, if Raven Pavilion falls, we will all end up at the mercy of others.

Raven Pavilion has established its position internationally with a powerful force since its founding, but has also made many enemies as a result. Once they fall from grace, what awaits them is surely a fate worse than death!

"Don't worry, mother. I will not let you down! What Ella could do back then, I can do as well, and even better!" Jade said confidently with a smile on her lips.

Because, after today, there will no longer be a Ella in this world!Raven Pavilion can only belong to Jade!

*Ding!*

A text message alert sounded from the phone. Jade picked it up and her eyes narrowed as she read it.”

She turned to look at the housekeeper and said obediently, "Mother, the Bradley has prepared bird's nest porridge for you. Let me assist you back."

"Okay."

After Jade left the housekeeper's room, there were subordinates who came to report to her, "Second Miss, our people just sent a message that Ella is on the plane heading to Raven Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Jade's eyes darkened slightly, and even her fists clenched with white knuckles.

Ella, oh Ella, you finally came!

Very well.

You really didn't disappoint me!

Since you've arrived, just wait to taste the feeling of a knife in the heart once again!

Jade twisted her hand bones, emitting a chilling cracking sound.

She looked at her subordinates and said coldly, "When she arrives, don't stop her, let her in."

"Yes."

...

Half an hour later.

A helicopter landed near the Raven Pavilion.

Ella, dressed in leather jacket and pants, stepped out of the cabin, carrying black leather gloves.

Her long hair tied up high, combined with her cold eyes and brows, gave her a confident and experienced look.

After five years, she set foot on this land again, memories of the past flooding back to her mind.

She couldn't forget how her dozen sisters died before her.

And she couldn't forget how Jade personally stabbed a dagger into her heart.

She closed her eyes slightly, placing her hand on her chest, still able to feel the painful sensation, Jade pulling out the dagger with a triumphant smile, blood splattering several meters away.

When she opened her eyes again, the cold eyes were tinged with a layer of gloom, exuding a chilling sensation all over her body. She pulled out a pistol from her waist and deftly spun it on her finger, loaded it, and walked towards Raven Pavilion. Each step was filled with deep hatred. A total of one thousand and one steps, just like the three years she had spent raising Jade, each step represented her painstaking efforts. But in return, Jade had driven a knife into her heart time and time again, attempting to kill her. Ella clenched her fists tightly, her nails deeply embedded in her flesh, blood drops dripping on the ground, forming charming red flowers. Standing at the entrance of Raven Pavilion, her icy demeanor shocked the bodyguards at the door. The silver gun in her hand gleamed with a chilling light. "M-Miss, you... you're not dead?" The bodyguard never expected to see Ella alive, the once highly regarded goddaughter of the former master of the pavilion.

Because Ella had a gun in her hand, the bodyguards only surrounded her and dared not get too close. In addition, Jade had given orders before that Ella was to be allowed through without obstruction.

She coldly uttered, "Where is Jade?"

"Daring, how dare you, a traitor, call the Second Miss by name. The current Second Miss is the owner of Raven Pavilion!" the bodyguard shouted sternly.

"The owner of Raven Pavilion?" Reading this sentence, a touch of sarcasm curled up at the corner of Ella's mouth. Then she narrowed her eyes fiercely and said, "Is she worthy?"

In the past, perhaps she could endure everything for the sake of friendship, but after experiencing a life and death ordeal, she suddenly woke up.

The owner of Raven Pavilion could be anyone, but definitely not Jade.

Even if she couldn't kill Jade today, she would make sure they both perished together!

Because she had knelt in front of the graves of over a dozen sisters and made a vow, swearing never to let Jade smoothly inherit Raven Pavilion.

She wanted to use Jade's head to appease the spirits of the dozen sisters.

"Move aside!"

Ella aimed the gun at the bodyguard, his eyes flashing with chilling intent. "Miss, don't make things difficult for us. This is Raven Pavilion, not a place you can just rush into!" The bodyguards showed no signs of backing down, they had to provoke Ella to carry out their next plan. However, before they knew it, Ella's long legs swept out and directly knocked down one of the bodyguards.
