The City Guard ran wild through the streets, storming into every business listed as having violated the law. The punishment was absolute death, not just for the owners, but for every single worker involved.
It was no longer merely about crime or law but rather it was a message etched in blood. If one participated in crime whether it be direct or indirect then they would face the same fate as those who masterminded it, no leniency and no mercy.
Justice had taken a new form. Not restrained by bureaucratic chains or political favors. It was now swift, unrelenting, and above all final.
The news spread like wildfire, igniting every corner of the city's dark underworld. The world of crime awoke to the sight of thousands of heads on pikes.
Men who had committed crimes without any help, they were those who preferred to work alone instead of being part of any groups. Some weren't even known to the major factions, but their deaths sent a clear message that no one was untouchable anymore.
