And he was already that powerful, yet he still set a trap for her and used some God's corruption to mess with her.

Guys who were both strong and devious were seriously the worst.

That one duck was still better. At least when she fought him, she didn't need to think so much—she could just start swinging.

And he was generous with money, too.
