Jimmy went to Stephen and relayed the message. "The mayor of Crestwood, Dennis Lewis, says you can meet him, but you have to go to Crestwood yourself."

Stephen could not believe his ears. He was the son of a prominent family in Metropolis and was currently in charge of Riveria. Yet, some small-town mayor was demanding that he go to him?

"Who does he think he is?"

He usually would not give a mayor like Dennis the time of day, much less go out of his way to meet him.

Jimmy next to him spoke cautiously, "Things are different now. Dennis might actually have useful information."

Stephen paused. If Dennis had the audacity to make this demand, he probably did know something important.

Stephen took a deep breath and said, "Fine. I'll go meet him."

Jimmy arranged for a fully armed team to ensure Stephen's safety. With his security detail in tow, Stephen headed straight to Crestwood.

Crestwood was so heavily guarded now that not even a fly could get in or out. However, Dennis had given the guards a heads-up that Stephen would be coming, so the latter managed to enter Crestwood safely.
