the loot comes free, the grudge is forever.

means someone who launches a sudden armed or aggressive raid to seize goods, territory, or advantage, usually hitting fast and leaving before anyone can properly fight back.

from Straight from 'raid,' a Scots dialect form of 'road' — originally meaning a journey, specifically a mounted military expedition. By the early 1800s, via Walter Scott's popular use of the word in his writing, 'raid' narrowed to mean a swift hostile incursion, and 'raider' followed naturally as the one doing the riding and the taking.
