The next day, Carl personally brought Yoel, the Eighteen Hounds, and eighty of his best fighters to Channing.
The news of his coming spread like wildfire in Channing.
Some people were worried for Nathan, while some were gleeful at his misfortune. Yet, there were some others who thought that Carl Russo was digging his own grave.
The first thing that Carl did when he arrived at the city was to move into Royal Dragon Mountain Villas.
There was a saying in Channing about how the powerful stayed at Sycamore Avenue and the rich stayed at Moonlight Bay.
The rich and powerful stayed at Royal Dragon Mountain Villas.
After settling down into the Russo family's villa there, Carl immediately sent out invitations to all the powerful figures in the business, military and political world.
Everyone knew that this was Carl's way of forcing everyone to choose a side before he moved against Nathan.
He wanted to know who were his allies and who were his enemies.
This move sowed seeds of fear and unease in everyone's hearts as they knew that Carl was beyond mad this time.
It would seem like he was not only gunning for Nathan, but for everyone who had supported him as well.
All of the influential people in Channing received Carl's invitation, including Nathan himself.
Carl was certain that the other man would not dare to appear before him.
Nonetheless, he still wanted to send him an invitation.
He wanted Nathan to know that he was coming for him. He wanted him to fear for his life for the days to come.
