The Lawless City was in great turmoil as the news about Nyx having a daughter spread throughout the city; more than anything, many people had seen the two of them roaming the streets together and the gossip traveled fast.
Now everyone was aware of it, and everyone was shocked by the news. Most of the inhabitants reacted in disbelief; to them it was an almost impossible claim.
The cold, ruthless ruler of the eastern district of Grimhaven City having a daughter was simply ridiculous to the other criminal organizations.
Especially the Red Dragon Syndicate, one of the four largest organizations of the Lawless City. Its leader—Cassius Drayven—was utterly shocked upon hearing servants whisper the rumor.
He felt angrier than surprised; he had been pursuing Nyx for a decade, and every rejection from her had felt like a hot dagger stabbing his pride.
