Ash said, “Raven, how about… you go back first? I’ll stay here and have dinner with Mr. Jenkins”
Before Raven could respond, Hazon let out a light chuckle. “Beauty, if you want to leave, I won’t stop you. But let me give you a heads–up. I just received word that one of the Triad, Hugmuinn, might be in this very hotel.”
He added, “If you miss the chance to meet him because of one decision, you might regret it for the rest of your life. Think carefully.”
Hearing this, all the women around the table drew in a sharp breath.
Anyone who knew of Valhalla would know about the Triad.
Rumor had it that Hugmuinn controlled the entire intelligence network within Valhalla. He was the most trusted confidant of the master of Valhalla.
And now, Hazon was saying that Hugmuinn might be in this hotel.
That could mean they’d get a chance to see him tonight.
For someone of that status, even catching a glimpse could be a lifetime bragging right. And if they were lucky enough to catch his attention…
The woman’s breathing grew more hurried at the thought.
Not just them. Even Ash was visibly stunned.
She’d seen Hugmuinn once from a distance about half a year ago while abroad. Even though it was just a glimpse, his handsome features and calm, commanding presence had left an unforgettable impression.
As much as she didn’t want to admit it, part of her desire to enter Valhalla was exactly because she hoped to see Hugmuinn again.
Now she wasn’t even in Valhalla yet, and she might already have a chance to meet him. That surprise made up her mind almost instantly. She’d stay.
Then, she turned to Raven Valor.
But what surprised her was that Raven’s expression hadn’t changed at all. She was still as calm as ever.
Ash couldn’t help but ask, almost reflexively. “Raven, haven’t you heard of Hugmuinn of Valhalla?”
“I have.” Not only had she heard of him. Raven had come to this Century Globe Hotel precisely to meet him.
But hearing Raven’s flat tone, Ash couldn’t tell if she was just too calm or simply didn’t understand what kind of person Hugmuinn really was.
Around them, the other women looked at Raven with thinly veiled contempt.
They thought Raven had no clue who Hugmuinn even was, and yet here she was pretending like she did.
A pretty face with no substance. No way someone like that could accomplish anything big.
Hazon smiled faintly, then said to Ash and Raven, “Alright, have a seat and eat something first.”
Ash nodded quickly and tugged Raven over to sit down with her.

Raven hadn’t actually planned to leave anyway. After all, she was curious to see juu how far this man in charge of recruitment for Valhalla in Regalhold would take things
She intended to make an example of him inside Valhalla, something for everyone to learn from.
Once they sat down, Ash leaned over again and whispered in Raven’s ear, worried she’d say something that might stir up trouble.
Ash said, “If he says something annoying later, just pretend it’s a dog barking. Don’t go head–to–head with him, okay? If we do get to meet Hugmuinn, this trip will totally be worth it
After all, Raven was her younger brother’s girlfriend. She had to protect Kaven.
Besides, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Raven wasn’t just an ordinary person. If she could tell, Hugmuinn surely could
