On the next day, the city fell into an uproar after several devils discovered the body of a devil inside one of the reporting posts. Not long after, news of the city lord's death spread throughout the city, causing the devils to heighten their alert and strengthen their defenses.
They knew the city had been infiltrated by an assassin.
It could even be a group.
From the marks left on the bodies, it was clear that the assassins were not devils. This meant someone from outside of the devils' force had entered this world without anyone noticing.
The discovery forced the devils across the city to begin searching for the assassins.
Perhaps they were still hiding among them.
While many devils were searching through the city, Aldrian was already on patrol aboard an interstellar vessel.
When the bodies were discovered, he was already in the middle of his patrol route.
