*The old gangster gave a soft, wily chuckle, impressed that the doctor had been able to pick up on that detail. He glanced to the thugs either side of him, a wide grin on all their faces.*

"Mercy ain't a word we hear often, mister. It ain't the Oriental way. I've been with the boss since he was a young lad, an' knew his father well. The general there..."
*He paused to point his crossbow at Nobuyasu, holding it in one hand like a longsword.*
"...Killed not only our old boss, but every member of our leadership. One. By. One. Most of us who escaped turned soft, ran for the mainland an' set up new syndicates. But not us. Ain't that right, Kiyoshi*-kun?"*

*The boss gave his own chuckle, scanning the room and rising to his feet, slamming his hands on the table.*
"Correct... Now, for the negotiation, hm? Here's my offer: I know you don't have the money, frankly I don't care. But, if you want the girl, all you have to do... Is give me Nobuyasu."

*A crescendo of laughter erupted from the gangsters, Kiyoshi's smile turning sinister as he awaited their response.*

*The samurai would take a few moments to process what had just been offered, Nobuyasu's expression darkening as the others began to protest.*

"What!? As if we'd agree to that!"
*Kiyo barked, Toki and Hanai nodding sternly. Sure, they were outnumbered, but they weren't going to accept such outrageous terms. The general tapped his chin slowly, glancing to the pair of adventurers.*
"I shall leave it to our companions, then... We have a few options, but none of them easy to choose. Either we brute-force our way out, risking serious burns and crossbow wounds, we buy enough time for Taito to break free and subdue Kiyoshi, or... Give me up and walk away."

"You know my answer already, boss! Give 'em hell!"
*Taito roared, tugging on one of her arms - the gangster clearly struggling to keep ahold of her despite the size difference.*

"I can see all of you are respectable men willing to die in the line of duty, all to protect your boss here. So out of respect for this and because of my own moral code, im only gonna knock you out and potentially break your fingers. Its a shame about this building though, i was hoping to take it to repurpose it as a lab after the fight, but it appears its going to burn down."
*Aize thought about all the pain he was about to endure, and he thought about all the pain he was going to cause. It wasnt going to be pretty or fun but as of right now he is going to have to take this seriously, he is going to have to cause actual wounds to these men to stop them.*
Guillermina
"Well that would defeat the purpose of us coming all this way just to give up the general for the captain."*He began, looking at the boss from where he stood with the rest of the group. It seemed Aize was alright with taking them on even with the potential of the entire place coming down with it and Terrel was no different.*"But if there's no other way..."*Terrel reached down to grab his loaded crossbow, pointing it at the Boss.*"I choose blood."*His body would glow a light blue soon followed by a darker ready as he used Psionic Speed in Herculean Strength. He would pull the trigger on the crossbow firing it off towards the boss without hesitation. They may have quite the battle on their hands, but Terrel didn't care so much as they can lower the amount of enemies they had on them.*
