The world moved on like normal, not knowing that Maria's parents were kidnapped. No, even if people knew, they wouldn't care.
Countless people are captured or killed every day, many of which aren't the Unorthodox Faction's doing.
As for the people living in Ariodon City, they didn't care about Maria's parents or anyone who they killed in their battle. They just didn't want the Unorthodox Sects to return to the city and start wreaking havoc.
Nobody had thoughts of getting revenge, as they wanted to survive. However, everyone who witnessed this scene was wholly ignorant of the butterfly effect this incident would have on the Continent.
Maybe if they had known… they would've done everything in their power to prevent Maria's parents from getting kidnapped.
