Chapter 40: The Momentum of Extinguishment

As oppressive forces arrived, the riots and rebellion didn't cease; instead, the bloody killings fueled even stronger resistance.

Not only that, but the rebellion had spread to other areas, even reaching the heart of the City State's central district. Photographs had been circulated, and the citizens of the City State stormed the Council, demanding the 'big shots' give an explanation!

The riots continued for several days and showed signs of intensifying.

The City State Council seemed to have reservations as well, fearing to suppress violently due to concerns about provoking even stronger resistance.

In a manor in the main city area of the City State, an elderly man, fifty years old, was lying in a chair, napping with his eyes closed. Not far in front of him stood a man and a woman; the man was handsome and distinguished, and the woman was youthful and radiant, sunny and beautiful, playing light music that made one feel relaxed.
