The bounty on Ashton's head went viral like a zombie outbreak in space, but not for the reasons one would have expected.
While some enthusiasts wanted to claim the life-changing bounty, most of the news about the bounty was limited to the time it activated.
It had been a short time since the news of Phantom's defeat was publicised. As such, Reaper's reputation had skyrocketed.
Reaper and his Ghosts were being hailed as heroes like no other before them, and to release a bounty on his head at this time only meant some organisations wanted revenge for Phantom's death.
The citizens across varying civilisations did not take kindly to it. But it wasn't like the Metal Sharks or the Cult gave a fuck about people's opinion of them. They were terrorist organisations, for fuck's sake! Not some privately run security firm.
But people did have influence over various organisations that could foil their plans.
