What Sir Kris wanted was someone he could recover the money he gave his son from and someone he could force to compensate him for the death of his son. He wouldn't gain anything tangible by killing his son's killer, so he was never interested in doing that.
Now that it was discovered that his son's killer was dead, he had lost his chance of gaining anything. This made him angrier.
Meanwhile, the outer city was in a sort of uproar. The uproar was because Black Axe had advanced to rank 5 and was also recruiting people. This was a sign that he was getting ready to expand his territory.
Many people tried to convince and pressure Black Axe not to challenge anyone. Black Axe refused everyone. He looked ready to fight and defeat his neighbors at any moment.
Not only Black Axe, but even the noble supporting Black Axe refused to back down. The noble decided to support the Black and White gang in their plans to expand. This was so that he could win the game.
