Despite being engrossed in the troubles of building a business network, Hudson did not neglect to pay attention to the significant changes happening in the world outside.
Firstly, Alpha Kingdom and the Clergy had reached a preliminary peace agreement under the mediation of various countries. Accurate to the news that he managed to gather, Hudson simplified it into one statement:
"Let's not dwell on the past; moving forward, everyone will go their own way, and nobody should interfere with each other."
With such an agreement, it was temporarily impossible for Hudson, with limited information at hand, to make an accurate judgment, on whether Alpha Kingdom had gained an advantage or suffered a loss.
The only certainty was that the two major powers would not go to war in the near future, extending Alpha Kingdom's peaceful days, and the Mountain Domain had more time to farm.
