because by keeping BFG alive for years despite disliking him Fleshlumpeater showed that he would honor the "Giants Don't Kill Giants" rule.. he is an evil creature but he followed the one law of anotherwise lawless society.

BFG didn't simply trash-talk Fleshlumpeater, which would of earned BFG a beating in Giant culture (they are, remember, ogres.. ruled by violence) but not death.. BFG sent an army to capture all of Fleshlumpeater's brothers, Fleshlumpeater was furious at BFG for betraying Giants to humans - he honestly didn't understand why BFG did it.. "why? what for?".

BFG just got Fleshlumpeater angrier and when he said he'd rather be human than a giant Fleshlumpeater had enough, he had to A) how BFG who was in charge and B) let out incredible anger that he felt via betrayal.. as evil as Giants were, BFG did betray them.. and it confused and angered Fleshlumpeater, who saw children as food and BFG as a fellow (if weak) Giant.

Yes, he did stray from predator stasus at the climax and went after Sophie but remember BFG had effectively smuggled her into Giant Land for days and kept her hidden, Fleshlumpeater finally "clicked" - he realized what was going on.. BFG hadn't just betrayed them, he'd been hiding humans in Giant Land, right under their noses.. so he decided to do what Giants do.. eat the child.

The fact he gave up on killing BFG to pursue Sophie also shows he's not a true CM, just a violent ogre, he decided NOT to kill BFG and pursue his prey instead.. if he was a true CM he'd of killed BFG before hunting Sophie down.. he'd of also killed the soldiers, he was more than strong enough to destroy the army alone but pursued BFG instead, not wishing to fight the humans he could of easily massacred, rather he wanted one thing : answers as to why BFG brought these "human beans" to Giant Land in the first place.
