The passerby looked at him and saw that an extremely handsome young man in dilapidated clothes was standing before him. The clothes were worn and stained, but that only seemed to increase his strange, unsettling charm.
"Are you new to the city?" the man asked.
"Yes," Ethan nodded.
"That figures. The city was not this peaceful even a year ago. But the moment the new mayor took his position, the entire city changed. The police started behaving properly. All the problems of the city were solved in two months. It became easy for us to abide by the law. Those who did not received instant punishment. And now you can see how peaceful the place is."
The man spoke with reverence in his eyes, and his voice carried the warmth of genuine gratitude.
"Is that so? The mayor must be a great person," Ethan praised.
The passerby nodded vigorously.
"Thank you. Have a nice day," Ethan said, and he bid goodbye to the man.
