Hill did not think that Red Dragon would dare confront Asmodeus directly.
For him to act so brazenly, he must have learned somewhere that the Lord of Hell would be unable to leave for a while... and Glasya, whom Asmodeus did not entirely trust but would certainly keep at his side, would likewise have to remain in the ninth layer of Hell.
