"So you're telling me the person who beat up that writer runs a pet shop?"
Zog asked, finding it a bit hard to believe.
After seeing those two news articles, he had arranged for an investigation into the matter.
The answer he received was that it was the work of a pet shop owner.
"Yes, his pet shop is in the Owens District," Elsa replied.
The Owens District was once the fief of Viscount Owens. This Viscount had a very strange quirk: he was a thief.
He was by no means short on cash, yet he loved to engage in petty theft. His skills were rather poor, he disliked bringing attendants, and he was frequently caught. After getting caught, he would reveal his identity as a Viscount, playing out a scene straight from a power-fantasy story.
However, this trick didn't always work.
For example, during the last act of his thieving career, he was caught red-handed and wore an expression that said, "What are you going to do about it?"
He very confidently declared, "I'm a Viscount."
