Countless rich and powerful individuals and groups arrived, with hundreds of prestigious cars lining the
parking lot outside Graves Mansion. Naturally, there were many others forced to park by the curb.
Chaz was wearing a black tuxedo, his hair combed neatly as he stood and received all the guests filing
through the parlor.
Naturally, he was only greeting the top elites of Riverton—his retainers would handle the modest
families and small business owners.
Even as he appeared bright and pleasant, raising his champagne flute to salute the guests around him,
one of the servants came to him with a report, "Everything's in place, sir... but the Salazars didn't send

Worst of all, he had killed Hubert, and there was no hiding it—the Lionhearts were long since made
aware of that fact.
If Frank came to Graves Mansion, he would not be just facing the Graves' wrath, for the Lionhearts
