Merciless

"Prepare ten thousand gold coins." The bandit Leader looked at the people in front of him with his sharp eyes and said. "You have fifteen minutes for collecting the coins."

"How could you do this to us?!" one of the men shouted. He was none other than the Mayor of the city. "You know that even if we were to sell our pur every possession, we still won't have ten thousand coins!"

"It isn't my problem," replied the Bandit Leader while touching a mark on his face with his fingers. It was a huge wound from the past he had got in a fight with another bandit group. "How about this, we will take your women and enjoy them for sometime and when you have money, we will return them back, safe and sound? How does it sound?"

"Boss is always great." One of the bandits at the side said while licking his lips. "He always knows what we want."

"Of course that's why he is our Boss," said another bandit, chuckling.
