Sensing the arrival of Howard and Wales, Athena turned around promptly, giving Wales's robe a scrutinizing glance.
She then broke into a smile, walking up to greet Wales, "Lord Ravenous Wolf, I was beginning to doubt if you had taken the payment and ran, since you hadn't shown up yet."
Since it was Wales who had convinced Daniel, Athena was not aware of his exact identity and could only make guesses.
Even though the Nightshade organization had a history of many years and had never broken a promise, Athena couldn't help feeling anxious seeing that Wales was late, leading her to make such a playful remark.
Seeing Athena recognizing Wales's identity, Howard was taken aback and upon closer inspection, he noticed that there was a blood-red wolf head emblem on Wales's black robe.
Clearly, the members of the Nightshade organization had their own ways of proving their identities.
