Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
The third day was the deadline Nathan had set for the Harbors to make a decision. It was also the day which Quince was expecting Nathan's arrival at the Harbors' family home.
Quince's family, friends, proteges and subordinates had all gathered at the Harbors' family home.
There were at least tens of thousands of them!
If Quince's opponent today were not Nathan, the Commoner King would probably see even more supporters present. There were still many people who did not want to be involved in this mess.
"Teddy Jacobsen, kingpin of Mayberry's underworld, has arrived!"
"Jonah Huff, kingpin of Horton's underworld, has arrived!"
"Harris Lambert, the underground overlord of the East, has arrived!"
The heavy hitters continued streaming in.
After those big shots arrived, the first thing they did was to respectfully greet Quince, the Commoner King, who was seated on his throne in the living room. They then took their respective seats, which had been allocated to them depending on their various statuses.
Douglas leaned in closer and whispered to Quince, "Dad, all our guests have almost arrived."
Quince narrowed his eyes and nodded. "Ok!"
He then stood up and took two steps forward while the guests looked on.
After scanning across the room, Quince said solemnly, "As you all know, I have long retired into the mountains. However, unexpectedly, there's someone who kept oppressing my Harbor family. Not only did he kill my son, maimed my grandson, but he had also even threatened to wipe out the entire Harbor family. What do you all suggest I do with him?" "Fight!" Someone in the crowd yelled out. The rest of the tens of thousands of people followed.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
Soon after, the united voices of the guests were so loud even the ground shook beneath their feet. The atmosphere turned heavy and murderous.
