Hearing the commissioner ordering them to stand down, the uniformed officers began to clear the blockade they previously built. However, one person did not agree with this order, it was Chief Denise. From the looks of it, Bright Loins gang was seriously outnumbered and it was obvious that they were going to lose if the enemy was merciful or else they would be massacred. Jill was once a high schooler, she has grown up seeing these kinds of things. To her, this was pretty common. She still remembers the terror of Diana Keiths and her high school gang. So she could care less about a bunch of delinquents killing each other however the leader of the Bright Lions Gang was her nephew. For his sake, she could not help but question the orders of her immediate superior, ”Madam Commissioner, please reconsider, if we donʼt stop them we will be sending them to their deaths.”

”Chief Denise, out of everyone here you should be clear about how this ends. If I remember clearly you had joined the force when Diana Keiths and her gang were making a name for themselves in the city,” The Commissioner did even spare Denise a glance and looked towards the city skyline knowing tonight was not going to be a quiet one.

”Commissioner, I know how this will end. That is why I think we should not sit and do nothing. All hope is not lost. We can seek assistance from the temporary southern watch camp on the dungeon highway. Unlike us, their hands are not tied by the city laws,” Denise knew the commissioner was right about the situation but she still made her argument.

”I already thought of that but the temporary southern watch base is no more, they left the city this afternoon,” The commissioner said shaking her head.

”What about the city array?” Denise was disappointed to learn that they could not get the assistance of the southern watch that was temporarily posted next to the city because they left this afternoon but she did not let that get to her and suggested that they use the city array.

”You know better than me unless they are a monster wave or a crowd of demon worshippers planning to invade the city, I am not at liberty to use the city array against them,” Commissioner was getting annoyed by Denise questioning her orders if it were a newbie questioning her orders she could still be patient but Denise was not new to the force. As a senior in the force, Denise must have faced a situation like this on numerous occasions and should know that the orders she gave were in the best interest of the city they were meant to protect.

”...” Understanding that the Commissioner was not going to change her orders, desperate Denise hurried to the end of the crowd of cops and waited for the arrival of the Bright Lions Gang, without even bothering to explain herself to the commissioner for questioning her orders. From the look on her face, it appeared she was prepared to try something daring and against her superiorʼs orders.

The deputy chief belonging to Deniseʼs precinct could see that their Chiefʼs actions were pissing off the Commissioner so he immediately defend his Chiefʼs action to their boss, ”Madam Commissioner, please do not take offense, Chief Denise is worried about her nephew.”

”When did she get a nephew?” Commissioner knows that Denise was alone and she had no dependents so she was surprised to hear that Denise had a nephew.

”Well, it is late Ellen Wyattʼs orphaned son. He is a member of the Bright Lions gang,” The Deputy chief answered.

”I see. Fine, share the portrait of the kid with all the officers and if they spot the boy among the Bright Lions gang they are to detain him. I am sure the Bright Lions Gangs leader will not mind doing the police department a small favor,” Commissioner quickly came up with this brilliant solution because this situation was not new, this situation was more common than one would think. Many of her subordinates have already approached her with the same concern. Copʼs children were delinquents, no surprise there. Honestly, Denise should be aware of this arrangement, did she forget?

”Well, madam Commissioner, that will be a little problematic,” the deputy Chief said letting out an awkward smile.

”Why is that?” Commissioner asked the deputy with a frown.

”Well, he is the leader of the Bright Lions gang,” the deputy Chief answered.

”....” Commissioner was without words for a second before she hastily ordered the deputy Chief, ”Go find her, see to it that she doesnʼt do something stupid.”

Hearing the Commissionerʼs orders, the deputy Chiefʼs expression changed because he knew their Chief was definitely up to something. Without bothering to excuse himself, he hurried in the direction Denise just left.

…

Removing the blockade, the cops dispersed to the empty lots on both sides of the trade route waiting for the arrival of the Bright Lions gang. While the Police Commissioner and the police Chiefs who were all in the card lord realm stood on the trade route, right at the borderline of the city. The plan was simple they would try to mediate the two sides. If a compromise could be reached well and good. If not, they would make sure that the fight between the two parties will not spread to the city and disturb its peace.

*Roar* *Honk* *Howl* *Roarrr* *Honkkk* *Howlll*

The sound of the roaring engines, honking horns, and the howls of hormone-oozing teenagers sounded throughout the trade route as tens of thousands of teenagers rode their hoverbikes headed toward the border of the city. The Bright Lions had arrived. Hearing the noise of the Bright Lions, the high school gangs on the other side of the city border started their hoverbikes, soon their engines roared, horns exploded, and they howled as the moon was finally starting to show itself in the gray evening sky. Both sides were putting on a display of their might trying to intimidate the other.
