Most shocking of all was the sheer amount of weapons. There was enough to arm an entire military division. Beyond that, Andrew also discovered two werewolf hearts in Ramon's treasury.
Werewolf hearts could only be cultivated by werewolf dukes or stronger. The fact that Ramon collected these things suggested they were useful to him as well.
However, most human fighters could not directly absorb werewolf hearts. Only a freak like Andrew could withstand the violent energy and bloodthirsty impulses within them. The price, unfortunately, was that Nyx suffered again and was pinned down by Andrew for another round of ruthless indulgence.
Aurora City had an even more complete military system and infrastructure than Abyss City.
The major city was completely self-sufficient. Under Ramon's careful management, Aurora City was actually quite wealthy.
After occupying it, Andrew controlled the soldiers and had the city thoroughly looted. He believed that Aurora City was worth managing properly, but there were plenty of troublemakers, rebels, and those still loyal to the Ludendorff family.
The next day, Andrew summoned Aurora City's wealthy elites, several public representatives, and the leaders of major gangs.
He sat in what had been Ramon's seat, legs spread wide, exuding dominance. "From this day forward, Aurora City has nothing to do with the Ludendorff family. You can act as if nothing happened and continue running your businesses, but the taxes and rules will be restructured by me. Anyone with objections, step forward. Those without objections can leave now."
It was brutal and straightforward, and Andrew had no interest in wasting words on these city elites.
Three men stepped forward with cold smiles. Two were wealthy tycoons from Aurora City, and one was a devoted follower of Ramon, a gang leader who specialized in theft, robbery, and all manner of dirty work for Ramon in the city.
One of them said, "Sorry, but our loyalty belongs only to the Ludendorff family."
