Many middle-aged men and women could be seen getting out of the various vehicles.

It was extremely rare for these heavy hitters, who only made occasional public appearances, to begathered at the same place at the same time. This was all for a common purpose - to welcomeQuince, the Commoner King, out of retirement!
Under the lead of the matriarch of the Harbor family, more than ten thousand people congregated atthe foot of the mountain, awaiting the appearance of Quince.
A commotion suddenly erupted in the crowd.
It turned out that Quince, the Commoner King, had emerged. He was flanked by his two right-handmen, Tyrant's Blade and Wild Sword, with three hundred of his disciples and the White Army of theHarbor family standing behind them. It was a grand appearance indeed.
Even though Quince was dressed in normal-looking clothing made of coarse cotton, he lookedsharp and alert, exuding the aura of dominance.
When the crowd saw him, everyone shouted excitedly in unison, "Congratulations on the return ofthe Commoner King!"
Quince squinted his eyes as he scanned across the multitude of people who had gathered,including his family, friends and proteges.
Feeling pleased, he saluted the crowd with gratitude and said in a deep voice, "Thank you,everyone! All of you here are my closest family, friends and associates. As you may already beaware, our Harbor family has been oppressed multiple times by the same person. He has pushedmy patience to the limit, and I have no choice but to come out of retirement to personally teach thatbrat a lesson! Please pass this message to Nathan Cross. In two days, the few hundred membersof our Harbor family, our two thousand over proteges and White Army soldiers, as well as tens ofthousands of the Harbor family's associates will be awaiting his arrival at the Harbors' family home.It will be up to him whether to apologize or fight it out with us!”
After Quince made his speech, everyone, especially the Harbors, was ecstatic.
The Commoner King had implied that they would be awaiting Nathan's arrival at the Harbors' familyhome in two days.
It wouldn't matter to them what Nathan's decision was. Whether it as to admit his mistake andapologize or continue pitting himself against the Harbors and fight!
Only the Commoner King could display such dominance.
"Commoner King! Commoner King!
Commoner King..." Everyone present started cheering and shouting continuously.
Meanwhile, Nathan was sipping tea with Wendy at Jewel Teahouse in Mayberry.
Just then, Colin hurried over and greeted Nathan, "Master, I have something to report."
"What is it?" Nathan asked dully.
"The Harbors seem to be up to something," Colin replied.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Colin began, "The master of the Harbor family, Quince Harbor, the Commoner King, had come outof retirement today after living in seclusion in the mountains for more than a decade. I heard that ahuge crowd had especially gathered at the foot of the mountain to celebrate his return. Besides, thecrowd comprised all the big shots in Mayberry and the East. Among them were also..."
Nathan immediately noticed Colin's hesitance and looked at him while prompting, "Who was amongthem?"
Colin lowered his voice before continuing, "Among them were also numerous midlevel officers ofthe Mayberry military. They had also gone to welcome the Commoner King out of retirement in theirpersonal capacities."
Nathan chuckled. "Since Quince Harbor was able to establish himself as one of the most powerfulmen in Mayberry, he'd naturally have connections with big shots from both sides of the law,including the military, political, and business sectors. Besides, the Harbor family is not only aprominent family locally, but also Mr. Tucker's wife's family. Christopher
Windsor, commander of the Mayberry military district, also owed it to Mr. Tucker to be promotedthrough the ranks. Even Christopher Windsor has such close ties to the Harbors, not to mentionthose midlevel officers in the Mayberry military."
Colin then added, "Quince Harbor has also declared that he would be waiting for you at theHarbors' family home in two days. He said that it's up to you if you want to offer an apology or wage
war. He'll go along with whichever option you pick."
Nathan sneered, "Seems like the Harbors are insisting on pushing their luck and are adamant not toadmit their mistakes and accept punishment."
"Master, it's apparent that the soldiers of the Mayberry military are on the Harbors' side. It would beout of the question for us to mobilize anyone from the Mayberry military to help us fight against theHarbor family!" Colin commented.
After taking another sip of tea, Nathan smiled, "After all, the Harbor family is the family of Mr.Tucker's wife. It would be too
much if we have to mobilize the military to teach the Harbors their lesson. Besides, there's also noneed for that. Just deploy the Elite Eight and the Eighteen Riders of the North."
"Yes, Sir!"
