Back at the city guard's headquarters, Alden's intuition continued to ring alarm bells. With a heavy sigh, he tried to shake off the feelings of discomfort when a sudden flurry of panic outside the window made his heart skip a beat.
A crowd had gathered in the square, pointing and gasping at the sight of Norrick and his team methodically killing innocent-looking citizens who would transform into various beasts upon their demise.
His eyes widened in disbelief, his heart pounding in his chest. This sudden act of violence in broad daylight, executed by his own guards, was something he had never imagined.
'What is going on?'
Rushing out of his office, he called out, "What the hell are you doing, Norrick?!"
Norrick paused, a lifeless look in his eyes as he turned to Alden, "Following orders, Boss."
