Chapter 275
Daniel was notorious throughout Regalhold as someone not to be trifled with.
In Ash’s eyes, it was nothing short of a miracle that Raven could escape from him unscathed.
Raven pondered for a moment after hearing Ash’s question, then gave the most concise answer. “He answered a call and left.”
Ash froze for a moment after hearing Raven’s words.
Then, she suddenly turned to look at Hazon, her face full of shock.
Just now, after they left the room and were stopped by the bodyguards, they realized the gravity of the situation.
If Daniel dealt with Raven, they’d likely face consequences too.
Fortunately, the bodyguards didn’t confiscate their phones, so almost everyone started calling for help.
She called Cassian several times, but no one answered.
She called her father, who, after hearing a summary of the situation, simply said that Raven would be fine and hung up.
While she was making calls, Hazon was also on the phone.
When he’d promised someone “a hundred million,” the person on the other end seemed to agree to help.
Ash had been skeptical, but shortly after Hazon ended his call, Daniel had indeed left.
Now, Raven also said that Daniel left because he received a phone call.
‘Could it really be that Hazon’s connections saved Raven?‘
Beside them, upon hearing this, Elizabeth and the four women couldn’t help but look at Hazon with a hint of gratitude in their eyes.
“Mr. Jenkins, you really are well–connected.”
“Today would have been disastrous without your intervention.”
“Mr. Jenkins, you are indeed the person in charge of Valhalla’s recruitment in Regalhold. Such connections and abilities are definitely not something ordinary people can have.”
Before, they still felt that Hazon was a little unbearable when facing Daniel.
But now that they thought about it, Daniel was the prince of Regalhold, the most beloved grandson of Lorne. How many people in all of Vyrdenia could afford to offend him?
Moreover, Hazon promised the person on the other end of the phone 100 million!
This lavish move instantly restored his lofty image in their eyes.
“He saved me?” Raven spoke with a complicated expression.
This was news to her.
Ash nodded. “Yes! If Mr. Jenkins hadn’t spent a sum of money and used a favor, how could Daniel let you go so easily?”
Hazon’s lips curled into a proud smile at Ash’s words and the flattery of the surrounding crowd.

However, he humbly waved his hand and said, “It was just a small price to pay. Since it could settle today’s matter, it was worth it.”
Truthfully, while Hazon had promised Mr. Foster a hundred million, his response had been perfunctory. Hazon had thought that Mr. Foster was just agreeing casually, but Hazon didn’t expect him to actually help.

Ash hesitated for a moment and said, “Mr. Jenkins, I can’t let you bear the cost of saving Raven. I will transfer 100 million to your account by tomorrow night.”
She’d risked her life on numerous missions on the Outer Battlefield, and some of them came with substantial rewards.
Because they were all earned with her life, she had barely used the money.
But since she’d brought Raven here, she felt responsible. It was only right that she should pay.
She had calculated before that the bonuses from those missions should add up to 50 million.
She would ask her father and Cassian to chip in. It shouldn’t be a problem to raise 100 million by tomorrow night.
Hearing Ash’s words, Hazon smiled and shook his head, but he didn’t mean to refuse.
Immediately, he tilted his head slightly and admonished Raven in the tone of an elder, “Little girl, don’t recklessly provoke those far beyond your station in the future. You escaped today because I intervened. Next time, you might not be so lucky”
