If they obeyed, they would be spared for the time being. If not, their fate would be the same as Primo Stev's.
As it stood, Owen Bertram had few people he could rely on, so he couldn't afford a clean sweep of power. He estimated that among the five Prescott Groups, some would surely resist. When the time comes, he would deal with one or two of them and pass them on to Emma Scott, or Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow.
For now, this was his only option.
However, doing so meant dispersing all his forces from the Copper Gorge Extinction Domain, leaving it vulnerable due to a lack of manpower.
Owen Bertram had other plans to address this issue.
As Owen expected, only four Prescotts came, while the Vera County mayor used his busy schedule as an excuse and sent a Military Officer instead.
Owen Bertram did not let it slide, and secretly contacted a student named Little Wang to find evidence. In just five days, various crimes were uncovered, and the mayor was sent to prison.
