On the counteroffensive, Noah threw a punch into the leader's face. He took a step back, covering his face with his forearm as he did. Noah struck the man's forearm, but didn't stop there. He threw a blow at his gut, causing the man to grunt-- then a shot at his diaphragm, knocking the wind clear out of him, and then after a second's pause, wound up a left hook and let his knuckles fly into the man's temple. He nearly wiped him out right then and there, throwing the big man off of his feet and knocking him to his side in a slump.
"Wha--?!" one of the still-standing few cried as he spun around.
"Boss?!" shouted the other one.
Those Noah had already knocked down were slowly starting to get up, themselves. They crawled to the side of the large and barely conscious fellow. He was dazed and tattered, barely able to see, and bleeding from the side of his head.
"Ya stupid punk," one of them spat.
Noah breathed heavily, panted even, as he slumped his arm down. Nearly fell forward, too-- shoulders first. Setting his hand upon his knee, he steadied himself to the best of his ability. It was difficult, but he managed. He managed to do a lot of things, really. Like keep those guys from getting on Eld's case any further.
"C'mon, boss-- we gotta get you outta here," said another, whilst trying to help his boss to his feet.
They clearly had no intentions of going to Eld's parent's clinic, though. Especially as once their boss was up and on his feet (with the help of a smaller man, of course), they started migrating in the opposite direction. Probably best if Eld said nothing about it, though. He'd probably just attract misplaced and frustrated ire.
