Ellie Miller left the Alchemy House and immediately heard the commotion outside the window.
"Hey boss, what's the big deal?
I've been starving for days. Damn it, I just saw Wolf-Fang's behind and thought it looked like a loaf of white bread. I wanted to take a bite..."
"You damn well try to bite me, and I'll twist your head off, you moron!"
"Boss... when will that crappy ban be lifted? If we don't find a way to survive, the brothers will starve to death..."
"Hey, boss, why are there so many 'Tin Cans' outside your door?"
As Ellie Miller pushed the door open, she saw the Knights' temples throbbing.
Thomason shouted, "Shut up! The new Lord has something to say to you!"
The chaotic chatter instantly ceased.
Thomason looked at Ellie Miller emerging from the house.
The hundred or so "residents of The Black Alleys" gathered by him also turned to look.
The Knights in Silver Armor all lowered their heads and shook their fists against their chests.
