"So the guinardó, a neutral zone but unusual to install a clan since it is a hunting territory"

How would the boy get out of this? If he stated that they were going to claim the neighborhood, it would be a declaration of war for many small clans that could not maintain a flow of artificial blood or donors with their income. There would be many objections, price claims, or even confrontations.

However, if he did not say if that was his intention it implied that they were going to tolerate other vampires moving clearly through their area, which went against the philosophy of the justicars with hunting. A declaration was not necessary, had Marcel made a mistake or was he paying a price in advance because he needed something more from his services. Tomeu was attentive to the next words that the boy said, neither Gis, nor Alba, and much less Ashan moved a muscle. That fight was now Marcel's, they had to let him fight his war.
