Chapter 18

There was a single table in the hall, with many men already seated around it.

Vicky smiled. “Let me introduce you, Frank. This is Gerald Simmons, Riverton’s Chief of General

Affairs.”

The middle–aged man with a square jaw nodded at Frank, and he nodded in turn. “Mr. Simmons.”

At the same time, Vicky worked her way around the table, introducing the guests one after another, each of whom were rich and important Riverton individuals.

“Chief of Riverton’s commerce guild.”

“Head of Riverton’s Skyblade Dojo.”

“Owner of Flora Hall.”

After Frank greeted each of them, Vicky finally introduced him. “This is Frank Lawrence, whom I mentioned earlier.”

The Head of Riverton’s Skyblade Dojo said, “I see that you’re a seasoned martial artist.”

“You flatter me,” Frank replied humbly. “I just know a thing or two.”

Vicky had naturally left Frank’s improved version of the Boltsmacker unmentioned while telling Yara to keep it a secret.
