Although the Sin Demons had not yet formally threatened Firstheart City, Meng Lu had discussed the matter with her aides and ministers not long after the roundtable meeting, and quickly established a related institution as a precaution.
This new institution was called the Sin-Hunting Group. Its members would all be Demon Hunters, and Demon Hunters were those who bore Sin Demons.
