New Friends

As the trio left the building, a bit downcast, they found themselves walking around the few stone paths in the territory.

Eventually, they passed by a relatively low-traffic alley. It wasn't an issue at first but they started hearing some thumps, and scratches, followed by aghast voices. 

"S-Stop it!" A female voice yelled, sobbing.

"Yow… we can indeed stop… just serve us, eh?" 

"Bastard!" 

The three looked at each other with a frown, quickly following the noise to see half a dozen big men beating up two men, with a man holding on lewdly to the girl. 

It happened to be the dudes from the Tiger Gang. 

"Out already?" Ansel asked with a sneer, "And already making chaos."

Without further ado, the trio immediately darted into the alley, stopping the attack. They didn't even explain themselves and started beating the men up. 

"What are you—"

"OI—!" 

Bang!

Smack! 

Crack!
