It has been one full month since the rise of the Green Arrow and Star City has continued to buzz about the avenging archer. Many continue to show their support, others don't quite agree with a man acting outside the law while some are still undecided about him. All month long, Benjamin has taken down crooked businessmen one after the other, crumbling their empires while leaving evidence for Lieutenant Rhodes and his unit, continuing to bring justice to this city and all those affected by corporate greed. All the while, Star City's one-percenters grow more alert and increasingly desperate while the city's mayor and police commissioner continue to enforce and increase their efforts into bringing down the vigilante. No amount of city manpower has helped, nor has any amount of strengthened security been able to protect anyone from the Arrow.

As Benjamin McFarland, he has officially been brought back to life and has been given his spot at McFarming Industries, continuing to thrive in his profession while helping his family. At the same time, proving himself a great asset to the documentary Margot has been producing. The progress they have been able to make for the film has been astounding while Benjamin and Margot continue to grow closer.

All has been going quite well for Benjamin in both aspects of his life.

As for Racheal, she made a speedy recovery while getting to spend some quality time with Josh during his two weeks off. It was a splendid time that they both needed and well spent. Both of them also continue to do well in their professions, although Josh has worked every case he could besides the Green Arrow one, living up to his word since he did not feel he was right for the job.

As for Blake Duncan, he and his team were all granted bonuses after what went down at the mansion last month. It was certainly well earned on everyone's part.

Currently, Blake is at his apartment preparing dinner while listening to the news on TV. Of course, the current story was that of discussions about the Green Arrow.

"We are now being joined by billionaire humanitarian John King, a man known for his help in rejuvenating troubled cities and neighborhoods, to get his thoughts and opinions on Star City's masked protector. Mr. King, thank you for joining us," the News Anchor announced before the footage became split down the middle to include the guest of this time.

"Thank you so much for allowing me to dedicate my time here," he politely nodded.

"Absolutely. Now, where do you stand on this whole matter with the Green Arrow? Is he a hero, or is he an outlaw?"

John King dryly smirks before responding.

"To be perfectly honest, I consider any man who hides behind a mask to be a coward. It's as simple as that. I know many will disagree with me on this, but people tend to hop on a bandwagon when they're scared, regardless if they know who's driving it or not. It's easy to follow someone like this, but the Green Arrow is just another angry anarchist looking for attention while using violence to appease himself. He's no different than any other who believe it is their right to take the law into their own hands."
