Walker the Third's body was quickly carried away by his subordinates; he never would have dreamed that after wielding power in Midocen for several months, he would be killed upon encountering William Cole.
After returning to Thirteen Hall, William Cole remained very calm, as if he had simply crushed an ant.
Minnie Wright shook her head, "You start killing people as soon as you wake up; the days ahead are likely not going to be peaceful."
William Cole laughed and shook his head, "Constantly retreating won't lead them to leave us in peace."
"These people are clearly looking for trouble. If we keep stepping back, when there's nowhere left to retreat, that'll be the time of our death."
"Since that's the case, we might as well take the initiative."
Minnie Wright was stunned, "So was my withdrawal from Gragan to Midocen a mistake?"
William Cole took Minnie Wright's hand, "Minnie, you did nothing wrong; you did it to save everyone. Now, just leave it to me."
