Then the figure of a female assassin emerged and pinned the violent Sarkaz to the ground.
A sharp blade stabbed into the ground beside his neck.
"Afterward, I will compensate you, but before that, you need to obey my orders."
Kal'tsit shifted her gaze back.
She did not have much time to waste here.

These Sarkaz mercenaries would already have been cremated.
"...Fine. I hope you keep your word."
