saying

A new sentence could begin here (if the comma at the end of the previous verse is changed to a period): "He said"

Here "certain city" is a way to let the listener know that the narrative that follows takes place in a city, but the name of the city itself is not important. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-intro)

did not respect people

"did not care about other people"
