Of course he knew... his bounty had gone up again.
Danitz remembered why his bounty had risen from 1,200 pounds to 3,000. At the time, he had advanced to Sequence 7 and publicly killed a pirate in Tiana Port who had once ambushed vacationing sailors from the Golden Dream. As a result, he made the local newspapers, and the Church and military raised his bounty. The latter had close ties to the Blood Admiral.
It was the same this time. To take revenge, and to warn his captain that the Blood Admiral Senior had set his sights on her, Danitz had relied on the strength of the two people before him to deal with "Steel" Maviti and his many subordinates, then sent the details of the incident to Bayam's major newspapers.
Of course, in order to maintain regional stability, none of it had been published. Yet less than a week later, the bounty on his wanted poster, which had been slightly lower than that of pirates of the same level, had surged considerably. He had instantly become one of the Golden Dream's more notable "wealthy men." Clearly, the colonial government and Church had reassessed his strength.
And the man and woman before him could kill "Steel" Maviti in mere minutes. Taking care of him probably would not even alert the residents downstairs... Danitz assessed the gap between their combat abilities, then quickly obeyed his instincts and stopped struggling.

He thought bitterly.
Passing Danitz, who was suspended by silk threads with a strange expression on his face, Angel slowly approached the telegraph machine, which looked somewhat eerie beneath the crimson moonlight, and read the message on the paper
