It's called tradeoffs. At this point in time, MC doesn't know anything about the old man beyond the fact that he has authority in an environment that is unfamiliar to the mc. Any resistance would place him at the same level or lower as the guy who provoked him and ruin first impressions or label him as a ruffian/criminal. If he followed the old man, he could defend himself if attacked or maybe get necessary info depending on what happens. Thus it is better for the mc to not fight as doing so would lead to unnecessary problems.
Xzavier wanted to chip in the fact that it was in fact the punks' fault. But he restrained himself from committing himself to an argument with the old man. It was obvious that he wielded an impressive amount of authority here. Also, he seemed reasonable. So Xzavier weighed the odds and decided to indulge him;

Marvin was worried, and the young deers were panicking. Even if they weren’t clear what losing the Rainbow Stone meant, they could still feel that this was something far from good.

"This gel's biggest feature is that it can keep the chemical structure of the things added to it," Kyle said and then threw the light red gel into the furnace. Suddenly, the fire burnt much more violently. The flames roared high into the air, and the gel was swiftly burnt into ashes. "I only added a spoonful of oil to it. Burning the gel alone can't achieve this effect. I can say that it's even better than the gel you asked for!"

After resting a bit Alicia got up and started to search for a place to sleep for the night. But with no place in sight, Alicia could only make a small cave using earth magic. She carved out a small door first then opened the inside up into a small room. She added some magic balls of fire to the walls so that she could have some light before sealing off the entrance. Once it was sealed she made a small bath for Lorei, Frey and herself. Just soaking in the bath that was made with a combination of water magic and fire magic to warm it up was a wonderful thought. Alicia quickly removed her dirty clothes and slid into the steaming water and let out a long sigh. "This is the best!"

However, making Alan her lover was not her only goal. In her dreams and fantasies, she turned the entire Plummer household, with the definite exception of Ron, into her lovers. She had frequent, recurring dreams about this. They always seemed to end with her in the center of a pile of naked bodies, with Alan, Susan, and Katherine pleasuring each other as well as her. She realized that it would take a lot of changes for that to happen, especially given Susan's prudish ways.

Going towards the goal, Amon thought of several different paths in seconds when he was blocked. And, without them even knowing, made the ball pass through the legs of one of the opposing players with his heel. He then kicked the ball up into the air and caught it with his chest and continued to dribble past everyone until he reached the goal.
