Even among the great families of Argent, the Thornes couldn't garner widespread support, no matter how powerful they were. After all, every family had its own core interests. Their group alone was a considerable force: Neal Wallace of the Wallace family, Lex Cross of the Adler family, Robin and Cynthia Grant of the Grant family, and Flora Bloom, along with over a dozen special forces soldiers.
Even the Thorne family would have to think twice before making a move against them.
Flora Bloom helped Cynthia Grant lean against a tree in the courtyard.
Flora looked at Lex Cross. "You told me not to interfere in the Thorne family's affairs. Why? And why did we have to leave the Argent base?"
"That's right, Captain Cross! With your power, we don't have to fear the Thorne family at all! We should expose their crimes to the world and stop that woman, Leigh Atwood, from harming any more superpower users."
