The scene was momentarily awkward.
The nightmare creatures watching the spectacle were all staring at Richard in shock.
This newcomer, what was his background to have known the Tax Officer, and it seemed they had a deep connection.
This made the onlooking nightmare creatures tremble inwardly.
They had all seen the power of the Pyramid.
In the past, Cemetery City had no concept of taxation.
Back then, in Cemetery City, the Big Nightmare exploited the lesser nightmares, and the lesser nightmares exploited the Nightmare Spirits. The City Lord would be in a deep slumber year-round, only requiring the nightmare creatures to gather sufficient Power of Faith when he awakened.
But everything changed after the Pyramid arrived.
That day, the Pyramid alone had entered the City Lord District. Three days later, the awakened City Lord announced that the Pyramid would serve as the Tax Officer of Cemetery City.
