Summary

The mayor of Milan launches a referendum to demolish the new Palazzo del Potere, Adrian reveals his true identity to Marco and Johnny, while Dranghestein organizes a series of increasingly serious attacks, blaming Darian and his "terrorist network".

Summary

Two weeks after the evasion, Adrian recovered physically, but he still doesn't remember who he is. When criminals attack Don Virgilio for stealing alms, however, Adrian recovers the memory and the identity of the Fox, beating the criminals to a pulp, while a sudden earthquake causes the skyscrapers surrounding the church to collapse. While the Power votes a new "anti-terrorism" law (with which all the constraints to the construction of new buildings are also eliminated), Darian interrupts the football derby between North and South, the rebels launch the "consumers' strike" and the mayor of Milan takes sides with the rebels.
