"Do you want to leave? As long as you leave, we won't make it hard on you." The leader of these attackers looked at the driver and pulled out a dagger when he said this.
The driver just looked right at the leader and said, "Are you saying that you'll really let me go if I leave?"
The leader said with a smile, "I am a man of my word. You aren't involved in this matter, so there's no reason for you to suffer. As long as you are willing to leave, we don't do a single thing to you."
The driver slowly came down from the carriage when he heard this.
The way that he was acting, it was as if he really was moved by what the leader of the attackers had said.
Once he was off the carriage, the driver raised his hands to show that he didn't want any trouble. The attackers just watched and waited to see what he would do next.
The driver slowly moved forward towards the attackers, but still they didn't do a thing.
