The old man hesitated for a moment, before finally shifting his gaze and looking at Samuel. He was obviously wondering if Samuel was going to tell him what was happening here.
In his mind, he was already making different guesses about the situation. Could it be that this person had offended the helper that had been sent from the regional capital? But he had already informed everyone within the city that they were not supposed to cause trouble during this time.
After all, if they did anything that ended up offending this powerful person that had been sent here by the regional capital, they might end up dying. But more than that, they might end up leaving the entire city into some form of trouble.
