Leo was genuinely surprised by how much Hera knew. He had assumed she only knew about his identity as Black Puma and nothing more. After all, information about the underworld wasn't something outsiders could easily access unless they had their own factions operating within it.
But the fact that Hera, without her own mafia ties, had still managed to uncover this much left both Leo and Luke stunned. It could only mean one thing: Hera's people had already embedded themselves somewhere deep within the underworld, gathering intel from the shadows. And if that was the case, then maybe... working with her wasn't just a good idea, it was a necessary one.
This only further proved the skill and efficiency of Hera's subordinates. But it wasn't just thanks to Gerald's people and their competence; it was also because Hera cleverly used the novel as a guide to direct her people to where they needed to be.
