For no apparent reason, a thousand people had been snatched away, and Matu would definitely not let this go. How he held a grudge against Rocky was one thing, but Baron Wolin was certainly someone he couldn't spare!
So on the very night that the war ended, Baron Wolin was promptly captured. In Matu's view, he had to repay whatever he lost to Rocky, and if he couldn't pay it back, he would pay with his life!
And facing an angry Matu, Baron Wolin's big backers were useless, because no matter how incapable Matu was, he was still a City Lord!
On the other hand, Rocky, who had returned to Thunderhawk City, was naturally in high spirits. He had won the war and snatched away a full thousand people—how could he not be happy?
But as City Lord, even if he was overjoyed, he couldn't afford to be idle, especially now.
