"Whether Charles will agree to the alchemist's duel, or whether he even wants to, is entirely up to him." Miles said slowly. "What we need to do is make everyone aware that if they want Genosha to submit, they must pay a price!"
He had already made up his mind, there could be no more retreat.
What happened in the Genosha alchemist guild cannot be hidden. Now, the reactions from Genosha are being closely watched by all parties involved.
If Genosha chooses to back down and show weakness, it will be seen as a small nation that can be easily bullied.
Kingston could easily use this incident to promote his agenda, and if he does, the morale that had risen because of Charles would plummet once again.
Moreover, Miles had a favorable view of Charles's future.
He understood very clearly that Ezra and Colton were both Charles's mentors and key figures in Genosha, and he needed to show them the respect they deserved.
