"We're sorry for the delay, sir…" Clive Baron said.

Clive Baron, the wealthiest man in Springfield, was paying obeisance to Victor! Beside him was Johnny Tempest, the leader of the Viper Tails! That gang was even superior to Dachshund in numbers and ability to cause mayhem!

Johnny Tempest stepped forward and pushed a man into the room. The stranger was middle-aged, but he was athletic, with seasoned muscles. The man knelt before Victor with a downcast face. "I'm sorry, sir…" he said, hyperventilating. "The Springfield branch of my gang had acted independently. I have failed as a leader and as a martial artist. Please have mercy!"
