Upon seeing Hester, Jared and Yuven breathed a collective sigh of relief. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to fight off an attack from Thunderhawk and the hundreds of Bloodthirsty Thunderhawks.

"Mr. Sparrow, what are you doing here instead of being in Jipsdale?" he asked, his expression cold and unfriendly. "This area doesn't belong to Jipsdale, so you have no right to stop me. Besides, I recall that you guys have a rule stating you can't interfere with matters outside your county. You aren't trying to stop us both in and out of Jipsdale, are you? Don't you think that'd be too overbearing of you?"

Hester curled his lips into a smile. "You're right. Jipsdale does have the rule of not meddling in anything outside our county. I'm only here because I hope you can do me a favor. Of course, the ultimate decision lies with you, and no matter what you choose, I won't lay a finger on you. After all, rules are rules..."

Thunderhawk felt more at ease at that and scoffed, "I'm afraid I can't do you that favor, Mr. I Sparrow. This brat stole my heavenly thunder. fruit, so I must kill him today."
