In the depths of his heart, George had already made up his mind that he must strike first. The protagonist of this sensational news must be Hudson.
There was no other reason; in all of Dapes City, it was now Hudson's two bodyguards who were enduring a beating.

Dragons do not dwell with snakes; the world of the strong is destined to be lonely. Especially for the Elf Race, a species where yin dominates over yang, there are even fewer men who could catch the eyes of a Sanctuary Powerhouse like Derris.
If they weren't from different camps, perhaps some ambiguity could have occurred between them. Now, the privilege Hudson could enjoy was: not being hunted!
