Upon concluding a significant deal, Hudson did not lose himself in self-satisfaction.
Only the profits pocketed were truly considered gains. A mere letter of intent meant nothing.
Hudson insisted on having several skilled members of the Clergy sign the pact, not just out of fear that their side may breach the agreement, but primarily as a safeguard against any sinister forces at work behind the scenes.
From a previous conversation with Isabel, Hudson learned that the "Blood Moon Horn" was leaked in the Mountain Domain.
The hidden operator behind the scenes is yet to be exposed.
If a deal were to be closed and then usurped right away, Hudson would no doubt be a suspect.
Selling the Blood Moon Horn could be seen as merely an exchange of needs.
If someone were to pay a significant cost for it but ended up empty-handed, they would understandably harbor grievances.
Becoming the target of a powerful force lurking in the shadows was the last thing Hudson wanted.
