Chapter 276
Raven looked at Hazon indifferently, as if staring at an idiot.
When Elizabeth and the four women saw that Raven didn’t respond at all to Hazon’s wholehearted teaching, their faces instantly flashed with displeasure.
Soon, Elizabeth stepped forward, frowning as she reminded Raven, “What are you standing there for? Thank Mr. Jenkins now! If it weren’t for Mr. Jenkins, not only would you be in trouble, we’d all be dragged down with you!”

The woman in the pale green dress also nodded. “When you recklessly show off, can you at least consider others? You almost got us all killed.”
Hazon’s face grew even more smug upon hearing this.
Crossing his arms, he watched Raven leisurely, eager to hear this seemingly proud woman lower her head before him.
Seeing Hazon’s smug expression, Raven suddenly smiled.
She had encountered shameless people before, but never one as brazen as this–truly a first in her life.
Originally, she just wanted Hugmuinn to kick Hazon out of Valhalla.
Now it seemed that he wasn’t completely useless; after all, having such thick skin was also a talent.
In that case, she might as well make the most of it.
However, before Raven could say anything, Ash’s small face suddenly showed a trace of anger.
“Elizabeth, how could you say that? Even if Raven didn’t attack Daniel today, he wouldn’t have let us go easily.”
Then, she turned to the woman in the pale green dress, pointing at her nose as she demanded, “And you. If Raven hadn’t stepped in, would Hazon have let you go so easily? Raven helped you out, and this is how you repay her?”
The woman in the pale green dress pursed her lips.
But because of Ash’s family background, she didn’t dare to say anything more.
Raven’s slightly cold gaze shifted to Hazon, who was watching her with leisurely amusement. “Did you really spend a hundred million?”
To maintain his dignified image as Valhalla’s recruitment head in Regalhold, he hadn’t planned to demand the money outright.
But Ash had just said that she would give him a hundred million dollars.
If she was willing to give, why shouldn’t he take it?

However, being questioned so directly by Raven made it awkward. If he admitted he’d accept the money, it would seem inappropriate.
‘But letting go of a hundred million? Why should I let such a windfall slip away? Hazon thought.
Ash, noticing Hazon’s grim expression, quickly pulled Raven’s arm. “Raven, a hundred million means nothing to me. As long as you’re safe, nothing else matters.”
Though the money Hazon supposedly spent was to rescue all of them, Ash had clearly sensed the nearly naked desire in his eyes when he looked at Raven carlier.
She didn’t want Raven to be entangled with Hazon because of this money.
