This was a cruel world, and what he had witnessed went far beyond the threat of simple bandits. Instead, he was curious, wondering what new tricks these bandits might have.
He called out to the driver to stop the carriage, and it halted in an instant.
"Bandits are approaching," he said, and everyone's eyes began darting around.

But after a closer look at the smile etched across his face, Raiden knew that wasn't the case. The driver had set them up. He and the bandits were in it together.
But that only made Raiden smirk, and soon the bandits were appearing one by one on the street.
The others were as calm as Raiden, carrying on as usual despite his warning about the threat.
