"It's indeed more complicated than I thought." Lucas sighed after going through the report Damian left with him.
Damian wasn't present as he had left earlier after handing over the report to Lucas. The latter claimed he was busy with work but whether that was true or not didn't matter. This was because Lucas' attention was on the details of the report.
According to the investigative report, the political situation in Baylands City had been showing signs of instability ever since Lucas' departure. Whether it was the attack on students by terrorists, or the invasion of Baylands City's Central Prefecture leading to the death of some councillors, those were all topics brought up during protests organised a bit after Lucas' departure.
It should be known that the attack by the Stygian Abyss was the very first in Baylands City's Central Prefecture in decades. There were also cabinet members who ended up as victims of the attack.
