"So, those scumbags saw you walk out of the Mercenary Guild and figured you were an easy target since you're a new face? They wanted to rob you of the reward you just collected?"
After hearing Allen's explanation, Holland grinned and clapped the young blond man on the shoulder, a blow so forceful it made him sway slightly.
"Nice one, kid! With scum like that, you gotta break their legs and teach them a lesson they won't forget!"
Ellis stood a little farther off, a slight frown on his face. His gray-blue eyes swept over the mouth of the alley, watching the figures of the men as they helped each other up. They shot one last venomous glare over their shoulders before scrambling away. He then calmly added.
"Holland is right, but next time you find yourself in a similar situation... perhaps you could be more cautious."
