Inside the study of the Mertens family head, Russell Mertens sat behind his study desk as he faced the guest who stood opposite him. It was the director of the Baylands City Patrol Corps' Central Prefecture district branch.
"There's no need to make this difficult for me." The director said.
"The code was decided by ninety percent of major factions on the cabinet, so it is as good as the law."
"Hehe. As good as the law? Is that something someone of your status should be saying?" Russell chuckled.
"Where does your loyalty lie? The city or the major factions?!"
"No need to get worked up about the situation. Just don't interfere and let my men do their job. Regardless of whatever you may think, please understand that interfering with this operation can get you on the wrong side of the law. Even the glory and title of a top family would not be able to save you."
