[Yes, no doubt Verso is just making things more confusing for Gustave, and adding to the chaos for all. But best to get strictly to the point—even if that point is one of steel—and end this. If it's going to turn into a fight, he'd rather get it over with. Or if the others are going to be smart about it, turning heel to run, then he wants them out of their sight so he can deal with... Gustave and all that his presence implies.
In the sudden moment where things escalate, he can't help but think to himself, Suppose they're not all that smart, after all.
Yes, they have firearms, but Verso is quick on his feet, and it seems that Gustave is much the same. The leader aims to fire at him, but Verso ducks down low, dashes forward in a surprising burst of speed, then collides into him shoulder-first, intending to knock him over to buy time.
A gunshot rings out. The leader has indeed staggered and fired it only into the air, falling over and slamming his back into the ground. Verso spins around, his sword arcing to take up the space between him and the other goons, having no qualms about slicing right across the guy who's trying to grasp onto the other Expeditioner.]
