"That would depend," replied Knox.
"On what?"
"Whether or not having territories causes demons to see outsiders as enemies," said Knox. "It's true that lairs intermingling can cause conflict. But if Primes start claiming territories, that will effectively create divides. Suddenly lairs will consider other lairs to be potential enemies. I won't have here or Las Vegas suddenly becoming a battle ground."
A Prime to their right spoke. "Knox has an excellent point. You say your system will unite us, Dario. Instead, it could just divide us more."
"I see how Knox may view it that way." There was no judgment or hostility in Dario's tone. "But I truly believe this system could work. The Primes would be working together, all demons would have equal rights, and we would be united. It would make us stronger. That can never be a bad thing."
