Not long after, the woman returned with three members of the city security authority team. All three of them looked shocked when they realized the person standing before them was Ethan.
Ethan was still in the narrow alley, with two men kneeling on the ground, surrendered, their faces covered in bruises.
"They are charged with suspected theft and attempted rape. Take them to headquarters for detention," Ethan said.
"Yes, Sir Ethan."
The three officers took the two men away from the scene. With the situation now under control, Ethan and the woman stepped out of the alley.
"Thank you for your help, Sir Ethan," the woman said.
"I am the ruler of this city. Of course I must protect my people," Ethan replied.
"You may go."
The woman nodded, finally able to breathe in relief as she walked away. Ethan remained in the area and continued patrolling other places around Ring 1's city center.
