At first glance, the Martial Arts Expert would appear to be enjoying himself at the fun fair, giving a karate chop to nobody in particular.

But nothing – nothing – is as it seems when it comes to the Martial Arts; and the man is only in attendance at the fun fair so he can lay claim to its land. He knows the Barrister has plans to expand the fairgrounds to encroach on the Expert’s own new Perthville Games site, and he’s moved into attack mode.

Just as he did so, a US bomber flew over the exact spot where he stood talking to a Perthville Times reporter.

“Did they do that because you’re out here defending your borders?” asked the reporter.

“No, it’s okay,” the Expert said, once he’d recovered himself. “I knew they were going to do that. I let them into my Air Defense Identification Zone.”
