OF JIA XICHUN'S QUERY AND THE SINNER'S LUKEWARM ANSWERS (before battle)

... Who is he? He almost took out my entire faction with a single flick. We... we didn't even stand a chance.

That's what I'd like to know, lass.

By the way, you there.

Who are you?

Xichun pointed at Don Quixote.

That guy seemed very interested in her, for whatever reason.

Forsooth... that scoundrel must have recognized that I am the most dangerous threat against his villainous plan to foment evil...!

…….

As the Sinners gathered themselves, Wei held the line, holding back the endless horde of Bloodfiends and Bloodbags.

He was protecting his men, yes, but... his primary concern seemed to be with the horde getting in Jia Xichun's way.

... While I do not like this... I must suggest that you accompany your blood relative.

Wei, what if he tries to take this opportunity to kill me?

But this young master is different. Unlike the others, he's...

I know. He's not the type to do something like that. Imagine if it was big sister Yuanchun.

She would have sent her assassins after you the moment you met.

... Right. I guess... if it was anyone else among my siblings, they would have sent their lackeys after us already.

... Or... maybe I'm not even worth that much effort already.

... Thus, young master Baoyu is our only hope, my lady. There is no recourse.

Do you hear it? The endless melodies...

... I know. Something went wrong in Area 3.

Will you be coming with, Xichun?

Just a temporary alliance, that's all.

From the looks of it, neither of us are interested in the reward money dividends. Which means that we're both here looking for something else.

So, at least until we get what we want, we'll...

I know. We'll be fighting again once grandmother's snack runs out, right?

She's quite haughty for someone who should be groveling at us for help.

Me and my men cleaned up Area 2 in less than an hour.

And you only got here way after we were finished.

H-hey, we just forgot to pick something up so we had to backtrack, that's all. I'm tellin' ya, we wiped the floor with 'em in less than thirty min -

Great. Then we should have no trouble cleaning this place up once I join you, right?

Consider me a useful, first-rate silver sycee, why don't you? I'd say we're on quite the even ground; why would I grovel for help?

Lass is so shameless that I'm at a loss for words.

Ohhh... yeah. I see the family resemblance now, mate.

Is that a compliment? Ha ha.

It's an insult.
