Confronted with numerous hostile NPCs, John was ready for battle, but he didn't want to initiate an attack.
He was well aware that attacking directly would prevent him from gathering any useful information from these NPCs.
"I do not wish to be your enemy. I am here only to investigate the situation. If you wish me to leave immediately, I am prepared to do so," John spoke to the hostile NPCs surrounding him, hoping his words would ease their hostility.
Some NPCs, upon hearing John's words, retreated into the shadows, but two particularly powerful NPCs remained in front of him.
One was a towering figure clad in warrior's armor, while the other was a rogue shrouded in a dark cloak.
Clearly, these two were the most powerful NPCs in the harbor.
Their presence indicated they were here to ensure that John posed no threat to others.
