"To think something like this would happen right in the middle of town…"
From what he overheard of their conversation, it seemed that Elias being a slave had been released immediately, but for some reason these men had misunderstood and seemed to think Qiong Xing was a noble or something, so he was being kept because he would fetch money.
In truth, he was just a commoner.
"Well, Elias and the others will probably come to rescue him, so it's just a matter of enduring until then."
There was no way they would remain still.
The men probably thought that because they were slaves they couldn't do anything, but before that, Elias and the others were Qiong Xing's mates.
If they learned he had been taken, they would surely defeat the men without mercy.
"If possible, he'd rather not have anyone kill them…"
Part of it was that Qiong Xing didn't want to see corpses, but more than anything, he didn't want Elias and the others to have to do such things.
