A pouch of gratitude

"Young man, who are you? Are you the one who defeated those evil creatures and saved our lives?" One of the survivors asked Yuan, his tone filled with politeness, fearful of inadvertently offending their savior.

Yuan observed the middle-aged man, noticing his wounds and the injured state of the other survivors. Men, women, children, and adults alike, all bore wounds from the goblin attack.

"Well, my intention was only to eliminate those disgusting creatures. But looking at you guys now, I see those beings really did a number on you," Yuan stated, his voice devoid of sympathy towards the injured man.
