Actually, Qin Ruo had only seen Netherclaw once in the past.
They were at the fifth level of Graveyard of the Gods when he had a conflict with Dark Dragon.
The only thing about the Tier 4 Aquamancer that attracted Netherclaw's attention that time was his Tier 5 Summoned Miniboss Amethyst Orc, as well as the then rare Pet Poochie.
So Qin Ruo knew little about Netherclaw—not as much compared to Brother Da.
Based on his personal experience and some of the stories he had heard from Violet Orchid and Dark Annihilator, Qin Ruo could hardly construct a good impression of him, one of the strongest players in the Angel Faction.
Netherclaw could choose to stay out from the dispute between Qin Ruo and Dark Dragon. But not only did he intervene, he even called upon Field Commanders from his Associate Clans to sabotage Qin Ruo.
