Looking at their expressions, Luke smiled. "It was just a joke. However, they don't seem to have any money, so I'll let them go…"
The two boys seemed encouraged by the good news.
"But!" Luke continued unhurriedly, "There has to be compensation, in case they think they can get away with their crimes."
Foggy was even more straightforward this time. "Sure. As long as you don't injure them badly, you can do whatever you want."
The lips of the two boys turned pale again. Bro, do you have to be so ruthless, just because we didn't pay you a lawyer fee?!
Luke waved his hand. "I'm not interested in beating up kids. However, did you just say that you want them to get jobs?"
Foggy nodded. "That's right. Otherwise, if they carry on like this, they'll go to prison in less than two years, and wind up dead a few years after that."
Luke said, "How about this? I'll hire them as manual labor for the time being; consider that their compensation."
