[Ellie's P.O.V.]
The center of the neutral party was called Bel, and he was one of the older members of Dragon Slaying Gang. He had been working for Kirk's grandfather since he was young. Although his position in the gang was not as high as Nazan and David, he still had some prestige and had his own followers. During the battle between Nazan and Kirk, he had always been in a wait-and-see state. Even his followers had never made a clear stand. However, they were not fence-sitters because once one was loyal to a gang leader, one would become a member of the gang. It would never change.
Mr. Bel and his followers had always been loyal to Mr. Reagan, and I believed that since Dragon Slaying Gang was the legacy of Kirk's family, Mr. Bel would most likely choose to side with Kirk. It was only because Nazan had influence over a large number of the gang members that he didn't dare to act rashly.
