As the other comment says, the story is almost never about taking back the wealth. It's about stopping them from doing more harm. The people don't celebrate because they can take their wealth back. They celebrate because they're no longer being murdered by a horrible monster.
With this said, someone will take his place. If you slay enough dragons the dragons will start to worry about if they're next though. They'll hopefully try to fix the system that they broke so they will be honestly tried for their crimes instead of murdered.
That is a very good point - thank you for bringing it up. You are right.
I hope this death was enough for the rich people to realize that they need to change, and that no more people will die. I presume that's something we can agree upon.
This singular one will not. As sad as it is, it has to become more expected for them to fear it. Terrorism isn't good, but it can be used to do good.
