The nobles had a lot of things they wanted to do but had very little people capable of doing those things. They were so desperate for manpower that they allowed gang leaders that had been banned before from the games to return.
This permission allowed the rank 4 machinist that used to be the neighbor of the Golden Hammer gang to return to the outer city as a gang leader.
The machinist was the leader of the Five Gears gang. He was punished a few months ago after 256 men and women in his gang died because of a powerful disease.
Cedric was determined to be the culprit of the death of so many people, so he was disowned publicly. But the nobles didn't stop there.
In order to discourage using underhanded schemes to attack other gangs, the nobles decided to punish the machinist too for attacking the Golden Hammer gang with an undying godclad and another knight.
