Baron Ybur could not wait any longer, leading Ybur himself into a kind of hunter-prey identity reversal fantasy—he felt like the baron might be hiding in the shadows, watching him like a cockroach. Ybur was on pins and needles, thinking to himself that one could only be a thief for so long, how could one guard against a thief forever? What if the baron was really hiding in the shadows stealthily gathering his information?
The bigger trouble was—Ybur worried that the baron, following the clue of the Desolation Plague Monster, might take notice of his Black Pudding Bank.
