"They didn't let it happen on purpose," he spoke in their defence again, "They intervened and saved a few of us before. They just didn't get time to intercept when these youths died."

"I have many to choose from," he hurriedly said, "how many do you need?"
"At least fifty," I thought, "better to be a hundred."
"I got thousands…"
"Dummy! I'm asking for trusted people, not just your people!" I slapped him on the shoulder with my left fist. But that hit made him fall to the ground.
"Boss… Easy on me, I'm fragile!"
