Baron Brignais didn't immediately respond to Lumian's question. Setting down his mahogany-colored pipe, he calmly took a sip of coffee.
After a moment, he smiled and said, "I'm not an official. I have no obligation to help them capture wanted criminals.
"Turning over anyone who's wanted would cost my Savoie Mob a great deal of valuable talent.
"More importantly, your bounty isn't impressive. It's far from tempting me. However, if you cause any trouble in the market district, I won't hesitate to tie you up and hand you over to the police for a considerable bounty."
The unspoken message from Baron Brignais was clear: There were many wanted criminals in the Savoie Mob. As long as you behaved, he could turn a blind eye.
Lumian understood. "You had someone tail me to confirm my intentions?"
Baron Brignais nodded approvingly.
"I'm glad you comprehend."
