One year passed in a flash…
The Iron Demon City finally stabilized after the public execution of 'Mad Thief' ten months ago, and it was a shocking event when the people find out the mad thief was a vagabond demon who had committed many crimes before.
After the problem with the mad thief was 'solved', the Iron Demon City returned to its peaceful state and former glory as of the second-biggest city of the Ocean Demon Dukedom.
Furthermore, for this kind of thing never happened again, the City Lord Elian Gold Iron publicly pledged he'll eradicate the criminal's entire clan and even compensate the victims of Mad Thief.
Anyone could tell the City Lord was serious because, after the execution, the patrolling guards didn't stop patrolling the streets as if they were still searching for the mad thief.
Everyone was glad about this, and they felt more secure than ever.
