Zaetrax was enraged by how easily he fell, yet also fearful for his life, so without any resistance, he surrendered, leaving his fate in the hands of Alex.
Alex told Zaetrax to take a law oath never to walk the path of banditry again and embark on a new chapter, embracing an honest and upright existence.
At first, he was quite resistant, but at the threat of certain death, he complied, following that, Alex asked him details about his former bandit group hierarchy and where he could find their leader.
Alex knew just taking care of the leader would mean the end of the bandit group because even if the members had unity, the Zephyrblaze clan wouldn't waste such an opportunity and eradicate the bandit group to make themselves undisputed rulers of the area.
