Drugs
Drugs was one of the things that made any who took it, become enamored in the euphoria that it would bring.
Some of them could even be used for medicinal use too. It was a very special thing that was nothing like other.
But it also had huge downsides as well.
Anyone that took drugs would not only be caught in its euphoretic feeling but most times, the feeling would go over the board and that would make the one using it become not only euphoric but also go crazy as well.
In one meaning, it was the most beautiful pain one could freely use on themselves.
So most sensible men in power, was able to use their wisdom to enact a law that prohibits the use of drugs without authorization from a medical practitioner who has experience about it. Even then there were limitations on how much one could use.
But that only worsened the situations. People with creative knowledge about drugs and other things not only found ways to make even more 'Better' drugs that had increased euphoretic properties and greater negative effects.
For what do they created such a bizarre method for, you ask?
To become Rich.
Nothing more had been humanity's dream than to have power. To get power one had to had to have ambition and the way to achieve it.
Humanity had ambition but most didn't had the willpower to actually do something so the only thing they could do was try to find loopholes in it.
The loophole being the simplest way one could become powerful without much hard work and the simplest way was to have the most money one could ever dream of.
So from that, humanity's most creative people used drugs and the law that prohibited it to benefit from it. They become rich overnight and the people quickly became more and more desolate.
Drugs were something for the ones who already had power and those that had moral thoughts, looked upon it with deep disgust. They made strict punishments for it and those that had connections with it were not only gaining huge amounts of money but also heat from everyone beside them, even among their friends.
...
What happened next was something that could only be described as inhumane. But it did the trick as the dealer spilled everything he knew, especially about the Violet Boeli Family.
The Reporters who had been patiently waiting all night for them to get their meat, went in quickly as soon as the police department had opened their doors. They didn't wait for the officers to tell them anything and barraged them with infinite questions.
Questions like – Who are the true culprits of such a huge bust?
How many people had been found dead and how much drugs were there?
Was any Great House involved in this?
Who was the guy that had done such a thing to them?
The police patiently tried to answer their questions as much as they could. They told him about the huge amounts of white chalk there was, the people who had been buying all this drugs, how much money was being laundered from this and even that it was the Violet Boeli Family.
But when it came to the matter of who was the one that had killed the groups of people, the police not only dismissed him but even dishonored him as much as they could.
They labored him as a criminal that had done a huge massacre, someone that needs to be put under the death penalty, someone that everyone needed to be cautious of.
They put on a APB on him and if someone were to see it, if they were the police or any other official defender, then to shoot the suspect on sight and leave the questions for latter.
But that did not matter to the reporters, what they saw was the perfect bit for the news.
