It had been a week since the day Andrex's family was annihilated. And the week had been a rollercoaster ride for everyone including Arnold. The moment the syndicate had gone public with what happened to Andrex's family and why they were no longer members of the syndicate, all hell broke loose. Following the revelation, the citizens were in disarray.
Most of them thought Andrex's family got what they deserved. While a few agreed that even though Arnold's actions were justifiable, it would've been better if violence was minimized or if he had taken a different approach. After all, it was the first time when someone singlehandedly obliterated one of the 13 elite families. The rest of the crowd were extremists who didn't agree with Arnold's action at all and demanded Arnold be punished for killing innocents.
