Thanks for reading and commenting, deadmilkmen! Just so you know, it wasn't the author who cut it there but me because the chapter was too long for me to do in one go... As a person from the modern world, when you find and capture criminals, wouldn't you bring them to the police? Read more

And if you mean the way the previous chapter came to this one, there's a proper reason for that skip. You just won't know it for now

i agree tho. "when you find and capture criminals" does not apply here. he was in a fight for his life against them, he didn't need to capture them. he should've killed 2, question/torture the safest one about where they sold his stuff and where the money are. then just buy it back with their money and be done with the story. if the merchant turned out to be in on it too then threaten/kill some more people until the problem is solved. if you do it the "police way", do it from the start. if you go to fight them, follow through with getting justice yourself to the end. the author's middle ground choice here makes no sense. Read more Read more him being mortally wounded and needing to seek help could of course lead to a switch in strategy, even turning to the police when he didn't initially intend to if by some weird logic he believes it's the only way he'd get healing (there's no logical reason for it tho). but dragging captives around town as opposed to leaving them bound somewhere for later still makes no sense.
