Chapter 82 - The angel of justice
The sun had already shone its best and had started receding when Lily left the Norton's. Because of Mr. Norton's mistake, they ended up telling her what happened lately in the city.

As such, a lot more started looking towards unlawful means to get their coins to fill their and their families' bellies. The already established gangs saw an increase in numbers, and new ones started appearing as well. The biggest ones began spreading its claws to the other, previously safe districts, claiming it as their turfs. Invading already 'claimed' territories also became a regular occurrence with bloody fights breaking out almost every night.
