The sudden slap from the Saint Heir, not only left Truman Ridge stunned, but also the surrounding wealthy elite of Five-river Province completely frozen in place.
No matter how you put it, Truman Ridge was at least nominally the Alliance Hierarch of the Boulevard League.
On this point, even Tobias Michael, the richest man in Ganny Province, had no objections.
Just the fact that he was able to kill Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter without leaving a trace fully proved Truman Ridge's capabilities.
Or rather, the wealthy were simply too scared to challenge Truman Ridge, fearing they might become the next Miguel Abbott.
Most of their abilities were on par with that of Miguel Abbott, or even less for some.
Yet now, that slap from the Saint Heir directly shattered Truman Ridge's authority in the Boulevard League.
The prestige that the Ridge Family had just started to establish, was gone in an instant.
