"If you insist on raping the women and harming the children-- Then yes...

...I am on the side of the Locals."

Silence blanketed the air as the Prisoners started looking at each other, not even a whisper coming out of their mouths as they tried to figure out what Boss just said.

Did they hear that right? Boss was siding with the Locals? Was this some kind of sick joke?

Wasn't she the one who indiscriminately killed the Locals that invaded their Encampment? Wasn't she the one that pressured and threatened them that if they wanted their men back, they would exchange them for food?

So why is she protecting them now? Is it really just because of the women and children?

Of course, most of them knew how protective Boss was of women, even as to set a rule just protecting them back in the Encampment But the Locals are different, they are an enemy.

"Y you hypocrite! Why are you protecting them now!"
