Ulric didn't trust the Ashclaw and Stormhorn Tribes, so he made it clear that the exchange could only take place in Grimjaw Mountain. The last thing they wanted was to get backstabbed during their journey.
Gromm and Ragan reluctantly agreed to his condition and had half of their men return to their respective tribes to report the situation.
They already felt anxious about how their Chieftains would react, especially Gromm, who was most familiar with his father's short temper.
He was already in a bad mood, so Ragan made no effort to talk to him during their journey. The Head Hunter of the Ashclaw Tribe was still injured from one of Blitz's lightning bolts.
Because of this, he no longer wanted to even come close to Ulric. He feared there wouldn't be a next time.
Even so, Ragan still harbored a grudge. He vowed that once he reclaimed his men, he would immediately tell his chieftain about his suspicions.
