Chapter 166 - S Rank Encounter (2/2)

"There would have been even more of us if you had co women and children from their homes on these very streets," said Aldrich

Soloaze doith somber expression "I know And believe me, my friend, I tried But the attack in Neo-York was fierce, even worse than the one here, and I had my hands tied He balled up a fist andabout the many lives I can't save because I cant be everywhere at once is a thought that crosses le day

All I can do is pray that you can forgive rieve for them"

Aldrich tried to analyze Sololy difficult He knew that Soloround and enrollment in Blackwater

But had Aldrich not known this fact, it would have been i up an act or not

Soloenuine that the crowd behind Aldrich remained silent They did not support Solo them to not actively hate him was a fairly impressive feat in of itself

Aldrich would have to force Solomon to make a misstep 'Tell me, rank I, what are you here for? It's not to help the people here, or otherwise you wouldn't have brought so hts and prayers only count for so uns and steel, you would have brought supplies At least those save people"

'Vigilante, would you care to tell ilante' when I know you've done so ood already," said Solomon

"Thanatos," replied Aldrich

"Then, Thanatos," said Solomon with a nod "You don't have to worry" He floated in the air to speak to everybody, andin a conventionally heroic way He had flowing golden locks of hair that shone like the sun while his powerful body and hearty sth and safety "All you citizens of Haven, I have an announcement for you! I kno much you all have lost and how deeply that loss hurts! I know that the city around you, the city you once called home, is in ruins!

Solohting was going on, but that doesn't mean I can't help noill have my Sunshi+ne Foundation personally help fund the restoration of Haven! I'll ith the AA to et the help you deserve!

None of you will have to e new place I know this isn'tto do for you!"

Solo a bit brighter just enough to strategically highlight his words

An interesting play, thought Aldrich A fairly good one

By proer reasons for Haven's citizens to support him This did not one hundred percent confirm Aldrich's suspicions that Solomon had been intentionally sent to curb Aldrich's influence, but it h that Aldrich had to act as if it was true

That ed directly in a fight Not a fight of powers, but a fight of words Of wits

Aldrich looked up at Solo down, and even now, he could not tell whether that srateful or triumphant But that did not matter at this point

Soloenuine or not
