Thanks to Alya's live feed on her LadyBlog, interest in the situation was rapidly rising.
'Mylene! Look!' Amber said, as people started coming into the park from all over.
Tom & Sabine, Fred (Mylene's father), Alya's sister Nora, came over to the park as well, joining Mylene, Amber and the majority of their class in the chant.
Mayor Bourgeois was feeling exasperated. 'Come on! Will you just let me rehabilitate in peace?'
Luka squeezes Marinette's hand. 'Sorry, Mayor Bourgeois, but we can't let you do this.' Marinette blushes, so proud of him.
'Cutting down these trees is wrong!' Adrien says angrily.
Mayor Bourgeois sighs. 'Roger, do something, will you?!'
'To tell you the truth, Mr. Mayor, I've been thinking and it seems like these kids are onto something' Roger replies.
'You're not paid to think, Roger, but to obey' Mayor Bourgeois replies.
'You lost your mind, Mr. Mayor? These are just kids!' Marinette's Dad, Tom cried out.
Fred was indignant. 'I support my daughter one hundred percent!' he stated.
'No one's messing with any trees on my watch!' Alya's sister Nora says.
Mayor Bourgeois began to feel infuriated. 'I'm trying to help you people! Ah, you're all being ridiculous!
Wayhem arrives with a few other people.
'If Adrien wants to save the trees, we're gonna save the trees!' he says, as everyone cheers.
Nadja had arrived from the news station with her cameraman. 'Mr. Mayor, it seems everyone is opposed to Project Oxygen, including Adrien Agreste, even though his own father is involved. Are you going to resign?'
Mayor Bourgeois sighs. 'Yes, I mean no! I don't know....' he puts his head in his hands.

At Gabriel's atelier, Gabriel watches live coverage of the protest which is posted on the LadyBlog.
The people in the video are still chanting. 'Stop Project Oxygen! Stop Project Oxygen!' A call from Mayor Bourgeois pops out from his computer and he answers it.
Mayor Bourgeois on the phone says: "Gabriel, it's Andre. I'm a bit overwhelmed here with our project, I need your help."
"Don't worry, Andre. I'm sure you'll find a way to change people's minds. When one fights for a good cause, one always finds a solution." He ends the call. 'And if you don't find a solution, my old friend, destiny will come to your aid.' He presses the buttons from the painting of Emilie and heads to his lair.

Back at the Place des Vosges, Nadja continues to ask the mayor questions.
'Mr. Mayor, it's just been confirmed that citizens are banding together all over Paris to protect the trees. What do you have to say?'
'Uh...' Reporters continue to interview Mayor Bourgeois who is getting overwhelmed.

In Shadowmoth's lair, the window opens.
'A powerful man rendered powerless. His plans disappear into thin air. This calls for the strongest of actions.' He pulls out a feather and creates an amok and creates an akuma. 'Amok, akuma, go forth and evilize our dear Mayor' he says, as the akuma and amok fly out.
*
Back at the Place des Vosges, Amber was getting excited. 'Look at all these supporters Mylene! We're winning, the Mayor is weakening!' Amber grabbed Mylene's hands and they jumped around excitedly.
