The news spread like wildfire, and headlines never ceased appearing as more and more survivors reached safe places. Those workers were too scared to give proper interviews, but the reporters still got something from them, mainly Khan's last warning.
Truth be told, everyone was aware of the repercussions of hurting the nobles. Wealthy families had also engaged in similar activities themselves for similar reasons. However, all those parties were wise enough to act in silence or control the leaked stories.
Instead, Khan had done everything in the open, leaving as many tracks and survivors as possible. He wanted the news to spread. Khan needed the network to know what would happen to anyone who ended up on his bad side. He was acting no differently from other nobles except regarding secrecy.
