"Argh, someone help me! Please, he wants to steal my purse!" Somewhere off in the distance, not far from the Red Lantern brothel, a woman shrieked in desperation.
"Huh? Somebody dares steal in broad daylight? Hmmm, truly courting death!"
"Yeah, it's about time I taught one of those thieving bastards a lesson!"
"Shut up, dumbass. You're a mortal, not an awakened hunter!"
"What does that have to do with this? If anything, I'm going to cheer as the bastard gets his ass handed to him!"
"Step away, you incompetent trash. Let me deal with him, I'll save that beauty myself!"
"Trash?! Who do you think you are..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, noble Cedric. I was blind not to see the immensity of the heavens and earth."
"Oh, shit! It's Cedric! The thief's done for this time, he's going to get crippled at the very least."
A commotion soon erupted, drawing the attention of a certain cloaked figure, his obsidian eyes glinting with curiosity.
