Just as Kamu was captured, the news that the Judger from the Truth Department was heading to the Dragon Manor spread throughout the Demon City like it had wings, at an incredible speed.
In the Demon City West District, near the slums, at the Black Scale Tavern, the flickering candlelight cast shadows of demons with horns onto the moldy ceiling.
A little over a month ago, the demons and undead here had raised their glasses in a toast to Lord Demon King who spoke for justice.
And today, the little demon delivering newspapers brought them new gossip to accompany their drinks.
It was the latest issue of the Magic City Daily.
[Judger from the Truth Department stationed at the Dragon family manor!]
The fewer the words, the bigger the matter.
The succinct headline was a solid endorsement of the rumors that had preceded it, setting in stone the Dragon family's downfall.
In the tavern, laughter and clinking glasses filled the air, as lively as a celebration.
