Only then did the nobleman, who had been scared stiff, finally react. He roared at the back of the carriage, which was already disappearing in a cloud of dust, "Shameless! Depraved! Despicable! How dare you rob a nobleman?! You will face the full wrath of the Empire's laws! You… you'll get what's coming to you!"
"My lord, we should hurry and leave," the carriage driver reminded him in a low voice.
The nobleman shuddered, glanced at the corpses littering the ground, and cursed, "Damn it!"
He pulled the woman onto the carriage Ling Xiao had left behind, muttering curses at the other driver while urging his own to get them away from this godforsaken place.
The other carriages wished they could go twice as fast, wanting only to get as far away from this place as possible.
Everyone understood the consequences of killing more than a dozen Mercenaries. They hadn't even seen how the driver attacked before all those powerful Mercenaries were dead!
