Hi
So it doesn't mean that he for example cannot get some break from killing, from bad people.
The guy wanted to escape from the old world which was very violent, he killed people, some other people tried to kill him and he wanted to find a quiet, peaceful place.
So when his friends found out that he accidentally ended up in a violent place the same he left behind, one of them asked: Can't he buy a break?
I take it to mean: Can't he have a break (from bad people, killing, violence etc.)
