The Author's POV

"...and this is your new room"

Stopping before a door, a butler wearing a slick black suit turned around and handed me a white card. Without hesitation, I took the card and thanked the butler.

"Thank you"

"No problem, welcome to the Leviathan building"

Today was the day I moved into my new room.

A couple of days have passed since I had killed Gerrard and his father. During those days, a lot of things had happened.

Like wildfire, the death of Gerrard and his father spread all over the news. This was natural since Gerrard's father was the CEO of one of the biggest companies in the human domain.

The autopsy reports said that their deaths were due to an attack by a demon. This was easily discernible from the fact that demonic energy lingered on their bodies upon their death.

After investigating further, it was later found that Gerrard was being targeted by four individuals.

Four of the five tyrants.

This was all due to the timestamps that I had asked Angelica to steal.

Stealing them wasn't actually that hard.

Given that they had to be redistributed around to the other members, they were put inside of a separate dimensional space that was given to a distributor who would redistribute them.

Only after distributing all of the timestamps would the distributor give the remaining ones to the tyrant.

The identity of the distributor was naturally a secret that only a few individuals knew, and only after spying on them for the past month or so was able to find their identity and have Angelica directly steal their dimensional space.

That was how everything started. After that, I did what I did with Gerrard and his father.

...and given the tyrant's background, putting the pieces together, the four of them became prime suspects.

Although everything linked to the fact that it was a demon who had killed them, it wasn't uncommon for people to hire a demon to do the dirty work for them. Such was the case for Thobias Church.

Taking advantage of the situation, all of the victims of their bullying and suffering came forward and reported everything to the authorities.

As a result of this, the four tyrants were now under the heavy scrutiny of the public.

'...and checkmate'

Like a trapped king with no spaces to move, the four tyrants crumbled overnight as their crimes became public for the world to know. Their parents weren't exempted from public scrutiny due to their involvement in covering up for their children's crimes.

In just one night, everything that they worked so hard for crumbled. I naturally profited from this as I had made arrangements months prior to this event. Just a little bit of stock manipulation.

'There's also the Lock situation...'

Besides the four tyrants, the Lock also started facing heavy scrutiny. With this event and the previous incidents added together, the Lock became the prime target for the media and the public.

[Is the Lock a safe haven like the government made us think it was?]

[Problem after problem after problem, the truth about the Lock]

[Can they really secure the future of our children?]

Papers and news outlets criticizing the Lock began spreading everywhere. The more light was shed on the matter the angrier the masses became.

'How could we let our children enter such an academy when they can't even keep them safe?'
