บท 48: Friend or Foe

He chuckled and replied, "Well, there was one thing I particularly liked about the book. Contrary to the expectations, the Governor was a good guy, at least as far as I understood."

He nodded in understanding and replied, "Well, he might be good, but if someone trespassed on your property, what would you do?"

At that moment, a realization dawned on me; this bald guy was from the outside, indicating that he didn't belong to my cluster.
