"I'm staking a claim on Ravah."
Despite the lack of tone in Atlas's voice, the silence that followed felt even more deafening than any of the chaos that had come before.
"What did he say?" A mercenary stared at the helicopter in the sky, wide-eyed. "Did he just say… he wants all of Ravah?"
Others stood with their mouths hanging open. Declaring something like that over one region was already ridiculous, but the entirety of Ravah?
Was he insane?
No man in Ravah had ever united this place. The last time someone tried, he ended up toiling away in the tunnels, with his entire family suffering alongside him. Yes, that was the late Governor Makoto.
"Is he delusional?" another whispered in disbelief. "That bitch is only friends with lunatics like her."
"Whether he said that to provoke someone or not… he's definitely provoking everyone."
But while disbelief briefly stalled the chaos from erupting even worse than before, Lola's reaction was entirely different.
