Frank's words naturally brought the villagers to a realization-they actually did not know the fat man, and he definitely would not be arrested later.

"A bitch!" The fat man was at once interested, seeing that Sylvie was raring for a fight.

He launched his large fist at Sylvie's face right then, but she dodged it easily and floored him again with a kick between the legs. "You bitch... You've done it now!" The fat man refused to yield despite sweating in pain, even continuing to insult Sylvie.
Sylvie simply laughed and started to clobber him with a rain of punches, knocking him out again soon enough.
Tigris and his men were actually shocked that the usually bright and cheerful woman had that side to her.

Just as he was done bathing, Frank heard someone knocking urgently on his door.
"H-Help..." a girl called out meekly.
Frank quickly opened the door, and a girl who was dressed plainly fell squarely into his arms.
