"Silver milk powder, I heard of it too," the police chief from earlier nodded in agreement.

Listening to them bash Ellen's son's reputation, Denise was fuming and was about to explode on them but was beaten to the punch by the Commissioner who yelled, "You dumb f.u.c.ks you all knew about Dalton Wyatt being on close terms with the Southern emperor and yet none of you said a beep about it when I agreed with the mod's demands to hand him over to them? Are you guys so desperate for my seat that you could not wait for a week for me to retire from the force with a full pension? Well, let me ease your minds, when the time comes for me to step down I will be endorsing Denise to fill in my shoes as the police commissioner of the sky blossom city police department."

Listening to the commissioner declare that she would endorse Denise to be the next city police commissioner, the face of the two police chiefs from earlier became ugly out of envy and dissatisfaction. Because being endorsed by the previous police commissioner would definitely guarantee Denise the police commissioner seat and not to mention with a nephew attending Morningstar university none of the bureaucrats would dare to oppose her rise to power.

As for Denise, she was not impressed by the commissioner announcing her support for her becoming the next city police commissioner as she still did not forget this b.i.t.c.h was the one who was willing to sacrifice her nephew to the mob to keep her record clean before retiring the force with a full pension to joining the private sector. And not to mention she did not have an ambition of becoming the city commissioner lately because she had come to realize that as commissioner she would not actually be able to do as much as good she was doing as a police chief because of the hardcore office politics in the department.

"It seems we had underestimated the Bright Lions gang. Even I am not sure if I can take on those four kids. They are already strong enough to fight on par with early-stage card lords physically and if they make use of their rule power it is a different story," Cindy commented witnessing the Bright Lions annihilate a mod of a hundred thousand card apprentices with two moves, namely the meteorite jump and the mud tsunami.

"By the way where is Jaya? Did she not leave the tower earlier than us why is she not here yet?" Diana was impressed by the prowess displayed by the Bright Trio and Vivian but she was more worried about her sister who did not make it to the fight in time. To be honest she was somewhat relieved that Jaya was not here. Her sister has been training very hard ever since her embarra.s.sing defeat in the card fight tournament. Yes, she had made a lot of progress and was a lot stronger and more efficient than before but her prowess was nowhere close to what these four monsters representing the Bright Lions gang in the absence of their leader displayed.

"Who knows, that idiot did not take the company car, instead decided to fly. Knowing her, she might be lost. This Vivian though, she is quiet and minds her business in the lab. Never in a billion years would I have guessed that she had such a violent side to her," Working with Vivian and Sarah on the Slime Fairy project Cindy has formed an opinion about each of them but today, in the fight, Vivian showed a totally different side that Cindy had not witnessed before.

High up in the sky above the Fine Gold floater vessel, four figures could be seen hiding between the cloud. It was none other than Ann, Anna, their grand uncle Lorenzo, and for some unknown reason Jaya Keiths. They too like the leaders of Fine Gold, TSR Guild, and the Tiger Squadron were observing the progress of the situation down below.

"See, I told you, your lover is definitely holding out on us. He never told us about the giant transformation cards being used by his subordinates. It seems to be handier and cheaper than the MegaMorpher idea that he pitched to us. A unit of southern watch equipped with these giant transformation cards could easily conquer about a few hundred miles within the Way Beyond," Lorenzo complained to Anna seeing the two Bright brothers use the second transformation of their Calamity daughter gem to annihilate a mob of hundred thousand with one move each.

"..." Anna and Ann did not bother to argue with Lornezo because if they were to listen to him, he would prefer they lock their young lover in the royal palace bas.e.m.e.nt and force him to create cards for the royal family and its soldiers for the rest of his life.

"Sir, forgive my rudeness but it is up to my boss to decide whom to share his creation with. The southern watch or the royal family has no say in it. That said, if her highness, Southern Emperor, ever demanded his help I am sure my boss will not refuse to offer his creation to the southern watch if it meant serving the southern region," Jaya immediately came to her charming boss's rescue listening to the old man fill the southern emperor's ears with ill-willed hearsay about her boss.

As much as she wanted to scold the old man silly for targeting her young charming boss, she was in the company of the southern region's most respected and powerful being so she had to behave and not sully the name her charming boss, the Fine Gold, and her sister. Not to mention she has to make her charming boss look good when there were people blatantly slandering him to the southern emperor.

Jaya had arrived at the city border a little late but seeing the tense situation down below she did not immediately join the Bright Lions gang. Instead, she flew higher in the sky planning to hide between the clouds and make an entrance when Bright Lions gang desperately struggled against the mob like a hero but to her surprise flying to a higher alt.i.tude she ran into the Southern emperor and her aides who were hiding in the clouds and observing the situation down below. One thing led to another and she joined them to spectate the fight down below.

"Another maiden's heart has fallen victim to that boy's honey words, sigh this world is so unfair," Lorenzo exaggerated. Hearing him Jaya's cheeks and ear lodes turned red in shame.

Anna suddenly turned to look at Jaya as she felt a sudden disturbance in the force. Causing Jaya to blush even more. This silly girl was unaware that one of her strongest compet.i.tors in pursuit of her charming boss's love was the southern emperor herself and did not mind being obvious about her feeling for him in front of the southern emperor.Anna's face turned dark as she mouthed, "d.a.m.n that womanizer."

"Huh, what was that? Your highness, did you say something?"

"Amen, nothing. The wind at this alt.i.tude must be messing with your hearing."
