Thanks for the chapter, first. Second, at this point with federal law enforcement being called in, where’s the military? This isn’t a state thing, we’re out in the territories.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Angelnickl]

Everyone, even Sally, helped in the end. Funny that. Also, is Mr. D going to end up being Evan's Dad? Cause I feel like that is where this will lead to since we have this main villain wrapped up.

It really feels like the series is nearing it's end.

 

[Grimmycoffee]

Mr D? Mr Deez Nutz!

 

[Daremo]

I'm pretty sure Kuriyama knew they were pulling up for the final lap at this point. What, 15 chapters to go? This is very much a wrapping things up, nostalgia view sequence.

 

[ToonLinkHox]

Evans I'm watching your accusation why you tryin' not to laugh pardner that's mighty unkind of ya pardner

 

[SilverGrove]

Ngl, I'd be pretty livid if my plans fell apart like that

 

[Levankua]

The vice mayor: "WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE"

 

[RanmaChaos]

Thanks for the chapter

It is. Mangaupdates shows it as completed with 20 volumes total.

Uh, there's a lot of steps in between "deputy marshal gets called in to investigate a possible crime" and "federal martial law". There'd still be a territorial governor to go to first (who may have had access to national guard troops depending on when/where this took place exactly; some territories had them before statehood), and even he might not be aware of the problem yet (given that the mayor was in hiding, Evans was pretending to have no authority, and the vice mayor was in no hurry to rat himself out), let alone consider it a big enough issue to mobilize the national guard.

We don't have an exact timeline of these events, but I don't think more than a day or two have passed since the Vice Mayor's coup, so even assuming that the territorial governor was made aware immediately, it could still be days until anyone showed up, and even then, the most likely outcome would be dispatching a sheriff from a nearby county, possibly with a posse.

That's true. I doubt that there would be a lot of regular communication with the rest of the country.
