Good chapter. The heavies are really leaning into Sam. And then all of a sudden Allison and a bunch of ladies from the Spire show up. And they're like superhero type women, like a ninja and a samurai and such. (I'm not telling you the exact types of people b/c I don't know if they're copyrighted.) But a lot of bad-ass chick show up and have the drop on the thugs.
But then it turns out they're most just for show and Mister Horn starts pounding on Allison. Then May Petroski helps her out a little and then Allison goes totally berserk and completely breaks Horn's face, basically.
This was a pretty violent chapter, but it felt tasteful, not gratuitous, the way it is with some some online novels.

Chapter 119
OK this was a long chapter so let's get serious.
Sam and Mister Horn have words. Horn tells him that Frank Muto wants the kid who took his boat (Billy). Sam tries to wrangle some kind of deal (i.e. I give you the kid you give me X), but Horn's not having it and shoots Sam in the knee. And then all the hoodlums are about to beat him up.
OK, well it IS a long chapter, but it's mostly funny dialogue.
My main question about this chapter was why they were firing the cannon at the Spire of Ice? How did they know that Sam knew where Billy was? Was it just a lucky guess? Also I need to go back and read about Sam again, because why would he protect Billy? At first I was thinking he was kind of an every-man-for-himself type of pirate, but I guess he's pretty sentimental about some stuff? Maybe Allison softened him up somehow, you know how we women are.

Chapter 118
It's Frank Muto firing the cannon! Or at least Master Billy says as much when he finds Capital Sam in the chaos. For a minute Sam is like "Ugh, how did I get dragged into this mess?" because Frank Muto and Sam don't have any particular quarrel.
Then the next part is a bit confusing. It's not Frank Muto firing the cannon. Someone named AL MACDONALD starts talking through a megaphone, telling everyone about a boat called the DREAM CATCHER which is available for rentals. Then someone named MISTER HORN takes the megaphone away from Al and talks about how the Dream Catcher is owned by Frank Muto, and Frank has loaned it to him (Horn) for the afternoon in order to track down the people who commandeered the Spire of Ice.
Basically he's saying he wants to see Capital Sam and Allison Hugo front and center, pronto. But not in so many words. And he's the one firing the cannon, OK? (I was wondering how well Frank Muto could really fire a cannon if he didn't have feet to stand on.)
Sam tells Billy to get back on board quietly* and have Allison prepare for departure. May is not really perturbed by any of this, she's got brass.
This story is actually getting pretty interesting, I wish the chapters were forthcoming a bit more fast and furiously.
*This part got LOLs out of me. There is something about secret disguises that is so funny. If you saw the movie Shanghai Knights then you know what I mean.
