The caravan slowed down. Because they were curious to hear what this old man was going to tell Tendu, they were eavesdropping and trying to understand the situation. What Tendu and the man were going to talk about, how he was going to describe this gang, everyone was slowing down and waiting to hear it.

This old but enthusiastic man began to speak: "Gırakol, this gang lodges in this forest, extorting money from passers-by and demanding a share of the caravan. They left us alone because you and your warriors stood firm and did not back down. But you should know this is not the end of the matter. You need to be vigilant and stay alert until we leave this area. You have now publicly humiliated the pride of this gang." Hearing this, Gırakol Tendu's face did not change. He was still as relaxed as ever. He didn't seem to be scared at all.

After a while Tendu said: "We have only done our duty, sir, if that is why they are bothered, they should continue to be bothered because they have no choice. We will continue to do our duty properly. And if they dare to confront us again, then we will do what we know best: we will fight."

The old man was very happy to hear these words and filled with pride: "Thank you very much, you have really made me proud and very happy. If they come again, I would like to do my best. Maybe it will be possible for us to come across and support you." Tendu smiled and thanked him. As the old man moved back to his place at the back of the caravan, the caravan stopped slowing down in order to listen and hear the conversation and continued to move forward quickly.

At first the caravan members were worried about what the old man had told them, but they were reassured by Tendu's explanations following the old man's words. They were approaching the inn. They had to cross a few more hills to see the inn building.

Meanwhile, the gang was heading back to their headquarters in the forest. They were all very embarrassed. Especially the leader of the gang, who could hardly contain his anger. They were all very surprised that this had happened. It hurt their pride and made them think that they loosened up.

The gang leader called one of his men to him and whispered in his ear: "I'm going to make a speech before dinner, so get the place and everyone ready. Don't forget." So the man he had summoned walked ahead of him to the headquarters to start the preparations.

The gang leader had a lot of plans in his head. He was consumed with revenge. He was going to start preparations for it as soon as possible. That's why he wanted to make a fiery speech before dinner. Almost everyone in the gang was loyal to their leader, but if such incidents continued or even increased, then that respect could be shattered in an instant.

The gang leader did not want to lose his power and reputation, so he had to respond to this act with a counter-act and show everyone the power of the gang. They were almost at the headquarters. The gang members were grouped and whispering among themselves as they walked. The gang leader had already guessed the reason and the possible conversations, so he didn't say anything to anyone, he was going to make a speech soon.

One of the groups was saying to themselves: "These caravan guards have disgraced us and they are all very confident, we need to get rid of them, we need to make it clear to everyone who is the boss here." Another gang member from the same group: "I agree with you my friend, if this guy leaves here unharmed, all the caravans will turn to these guys and they will make a lot of money and hire even more people. It will be much harder to deal with them when they grow stronger." The other gang members in this group nodded their heads in agreement with both of these comments.

Such aggressive and vengeful talk was common in these groups, but some of them were a little afraid when they saw Tendu and his men, but they could not voice their opinion. They didn't want to be called cowards. Because once they were labeled as such in this gang, it would be very difficult to make anyone forget it. So everyone who was afraid and thought that attacking would be the end of them, or at least that they would suffer a lot of casualties, kept quiet. There was only one idea being heard: Revenge.

The gang entered the headquarters. As they entered the headquarters, everyone looked tired and demoralized. As they walked through the gates, the guards at the gate were teasing and mocking them. Of course, they didn't know the situation yet, so it was normal for them to mock those who came.

A gatekeeper said to his friend entering the gate: "Why the long face, little one? Can't find your lost toy?" His friend was about to run towards the guard to attack him, but his companions held him back and told him to calm down. At that moment, the guard said to his angry friend: "Hey! What's wrong with this little guy, how did he get so angry? Were you the one who made him angry?" he said laughing. The guard's laughter as he said this started to make everyone angry. Seeing the anger on the faces, the guard realized that he had to shut up and did so.
