He lets Juanito Perez live because there is nothing to gain from killing a man without a price on his head, unlike his brothers, who "Ringo" does kill. Perez swears revenge and faces off with "Ringo". Juanito has formed an alliance with the local Indian chief and is now prepared for an all-out war against the peaceful town and sheriff that are protecting "Ringo".
