Most of the onlooking crowd gasped in surprise when they saw Burt's face since he was a famous person.
The fact that he was here already meant that something big was about to go down! A woman with thick makeup even sighed from the middle of the dance floor. "Well, jig's up. | was just saying that the kid is quite a looker, but he had to get physical with Tuck. It's over for him now—Tuck is friends with Burt." "I heard the people he arrests end up half-dead. The kid's unlucky to run into him today." "Tech. It's his fault for flirting with Tuck's girl..." "Open your eyes. She's the one throwing herself at him." Even as the crowd argued among themselves, Aria was shaking in fear.
Burt Yorkman, the top enforcement officer of Riverton, was known to be as strong as he was ruthless.

"I. 1." Aria glanced at Frank, too scared to finish her sentence.
At the stime, she regretted not knowing that Tuck was friends with Burt.
Frank was as strong as he was well-connected, but there was simply no way he could hold his own against someone like Burt.
Despite bleeding all over his face, Tuck was smiling savagely. "You're done, kid! With Mr. Yorkman here, you're—" Even before he could finish, he felt a leather shoe hitting him squarely in the face.
He was flying through the air before rolling all over the dance floor, his front teeth still hanging in the air in his wake.
"What?!" Tuck's thug friends gaped, not expecting this turn of events.
Was Burt not supposed to be their friend? Why did he send Tuck flying with a kick? And that kick must really hurt. Tuck's face would definitely be disfigured from now on! That was when Burt wheeled on them with a vicious glare. "Take him and leave. Don't ever letsee you around again!" The two thugs were already scared out of their minds and quickly carried Tuck out away and fled The Dynasty for their lives.

"What?!" Everyone thought they were dreaming to see Burt basically fawning over Frank! "And you are...?" Burt then glanced politely at Aria.
Aria sprang to her feet, uncomfortable with sitting right then. "Officer Yorkman, I'm a junior student at Riverton University—" "She's my sister's friend who just happened to run into me," Frank said neutrally, pushing a bottle of beer to Burt.
"Oh, Ms. Lawrence's friend?" Burt nodded respectfully at Frank.
Aria's breathing turned rushed as she flushed, almost fainting from sheer excitement.
She had never expected to make the acquaintance of someone important as Burt here, and she could brag about this for years! And Winter's brother was so well-connected that he could well own Riverton. Hell, not even the governor commanded so much influence!
