The next morning, the manor of Councilman Tyrone's house was sealed off, but news still spread rapidly.
A councilman had been beheaded at home—an absolute major event—causing gossip circles to buzz excitedly.
Some said it was a robbery, as all valuable items from Councilman Tyrone's home had been taken, and the safe was pried open. His underage children were not harmed, suggesting that the culprits were not extremely vicious.
But even if it were a robbery, it was certainly no ordinary one. The defensive forces at the councilman's home would have been very strong; all guards were killed, and the surveillance was destroyed. This was undoubtedly a well-planned criminal act.
Ultimately, the attack was labeled a thugs' terror operation. The City State Guard took over the investigation with assistance from the Law Enforcement Team, sealing the city's main entrances and conducting strict personnel checks.
