"Hahaha!" Timughed heartily as he led his men into the hall as well. "Don''t get full of yourself when


    you can only bring this many!"


    As the chief of the Rivertonmerce guild, he was the richest even among the bigwigs of Riverton.


    He was eager to get into Frank''s good graces, bringing in over a thousand men including his own men


    and a dozen vigor wielders hired off the ck market.


    He certainly spared no expense!


    That was when Kenny Sparks strode into the hall as well, nked by innumerable Skyde Dojo


    apprentices. His expression was one of murderous solemnity as he announced, "Mr. Lawrence,


    Skyde Dojo hase. You will be the same as us!"


    "Hoho, Mr. Lawrence. Flora Hall is here too, but please be understanding since we can''t bring that


    many." Dan Zimmer arrived as well, chuckling as he entered the hall with his granddaughter''s help.


    Behind him were bodyguards sent by every major n and groups which owed Dan favors, and they


    numbered up to the hundreds as well.


    Naturally, the hall was now totally congested, and there were even more men encircling Graves


    Mansion outside.


    After all, it was not just every bigwig of Riverton who was gathered here. Even the White family and


    Dawson family of Southdam sent their people!


    Titus also spotted over a dozen helicopters hovering in the air outside as he peered through the


    window, his heart sinking rock-bottom when he spotted the markings.


    Soon, Hans Schnee strode in, full-armed under his jacket. "Make way! I''m eager to see which blind fool


    dares to challenge Mr. Lawrence!"


    "I-Is that Hans Schnee?!"


    "My god... He''s the basemander of the East Coast! Even a big shot from Starington hase!"


    And after Hans arrived, countless soldiers rappelled inside from the shattered doom of the hall, training


    their guns''ser trackers on the Lionheart bodyguards surrounding Frank.


    One false move, and it would be a bullet squarely between their eyes.


    None of them could dodge bullets no matter how good they were, and Titus himself had over a dozen


    aimed at him from somewhere he could not see.


    Even if he was Birthright rank and his pure vigor could repel some bullets, there were only so many


    bullets he could stop.

    Only an Ascendant rank could hold ms own, but I itus was certainly not that.


    And as one faction after another charged into the hall, Chaz, Neil, and Wilbur who were all mocking


    Frank were suddenly quiet.


    Their eyes were soughably wide they could pop out of their sockets, their jaws dropped in fear and


    astonishment.


    "W-What the hell is this?!" Neil simply could not understand.


    How did Franke to know so many bigwigs?!


    No, forget knowing them—they were willing to stand with Frank and make an enemy of Morhen''s


    Lionhearts!


    Some, including Skyde Dojo, even brought everyone they had?!


    What was this influence? This connection?!


    What impact did Frank have on Riverton that all of their bigwigs came personally for his sake?


    It was not just the thugs—there were magnates, governors, and even soldiers like Hans. The symbols


    of Draconia''s military power were all here!


    In other words, all of Riverton was here to support Frank!


    "Do not kick the ho''s nest, huh?" Titus muttered, his throat suddenly dry.


    Also, a ho''s nest? More like a lion''s pride!
