The whole event came to an end much faster than anyone could expect.
Even Banjay, the mastermind behind this masterpiece of a counterintelligence operation, couldn't stop his awe from spilling over.
The disciples of his master entered the crowd of rioters like their fellows, only to start turning rioting nobles into rotting corpses with every step.
They went about it so casually and with a matter-of-fact attitude, that it took the crowd several moments to even realize they were actively under attack.
And by the time Salicious stepped out from behind the column with his legendary sword brandished and the highest of his disciples on his sides, even the most stubborn nobles had to realize just where their arrogance and focus on self-interest brought them to.
