The police Commissioner was not the only one who had this doubt so did the other precinctʼs police chief. Denise, was still in shock, this day has been an emotional roller coaster for her, from risking her career to keep her nephew from harmʼs way to learning that the city police department was prepared to sacrifice her nephew to meet the mobʼs demand to avoid a fight. But as someone who has seen how docile the Bright trio was toward her nephew, she could not help but wonder, ʼWhat kind of monster was her nephew to subdue these monsters, king of monsters?ʼ

However, all she could reply to the commissioner was, ”That is what I have heard.”

Then the one with grey hair said, ”With the prowess displayed by these four, all of them can easily get top ranks in the university entrance exam and apply for the top ten universities.

As for Dalton Wyatt, I had the fortune to witness his fight in the city card fight tournament, now he is a monster of a different kind.

He is not alone, Pax Whiteburn, Corey Bright, and Cortney, these three stood out in that tournament. Pax is not that stronger compared to others but he is younger than them and still has time to grow.

Though Cortney did not show up for the following matches in the tournament and was disqualified from the ranking list. I think she is stronger than Corey, her summons was really strong it displayed the prowess of a card king.

It seems the 100-year-old curse plaguing the city is going to be abolished by this yearʼs batch participating in the college entrance exam.”

The police chief with gray hair wasnʼt the only one, his colleagues thought the same thing and nodded their heads hearing him compliment the younger generation. Some of the police chiefʼs children and grandchildren were a part of the Bright Lions gang. At first, they were opposed to this idea but now they thought otherwise. They hoped that the halo of these kids would somehow help the present and future of their children and grandchildren.

”I donʼt know about others but I have heard that Dalton Wyatt has been already admitted to the Morningstar university,” Denise suddenly chimed in, bragging about her nephew hearing her colleague compliment him.

Denise was not lying, the last time she talked with her daughter she shared the videos of his duel in the cityʼs card fight tournament with her grimoire. Her daughter was so much impressed by the prowess of her cousin that she promised that as long as Wyatt was willing she could get him early admission into the Morningstar university. Overjoyed Denise wanted to share this information with her nephew at that instant but was stopped by her daughter who warned her that the politics in the Morningstar university was very disgusting, so for aunty Ellenʼs sonʼs safety she cannot be seen pulling favors for him.

However, Deniseʼs daughter did promise her to find a way around it and help her cousin get early admission to the university and also help him find a very dependable background. Who will not only protect him from Morningstar universityʼs politics but also help him grow unhindered. Denise was not aware if her daughter was able to keep her promise but she jumped the gun and bragged about her nephew to her colleagues.

All these years she was miserable unable to brag about her brilliant daughter to her friends and colleagues, now that she had a nephew as capable as her daughter, she did not care about jumping the gun nobody can stop her from venting her years of suppressed emotions by bragging about her talented nephew. She was going to brag about him to everyone she knew to her heartʼs content.

”What?” the commissioner and the police chiefs exclaimed in unison. Because it was unheard of for the top ten universities to recruit students without going through the proper channels. It was not that the top ten universities did not practice such behavior but their part of the southern region never had someone talented enough for the top ten universities to go through that trouble. For Deniseʼs nephew to have such a capable talent, they were astonished.

Some, like the police commissioner, who were acquainted with the Wyatt couple, regretted not attending their funeral and adopting their orphaned son. But right now the police commissioner had something else weighing her mind, ”Why did you not tell this sooner when the mob was demanding that I hand over Dalton Wyatt? If I had known that he was getting an early admission into the Morningstar university I would have done everything in my power to protect the cityʼs hope.”

”....” Denise frowned listening to the Commissioner trying to blame Denise for her decisions.

”Honestly, I am not surprised. I heard rumors that Ellen Wyatt hails from a big family in the central capital and had completed her graduation from the Morningstar university. If you ask me, his early admission is more of legacy admission than talent recruition,” One of the police chiefs who did not have child or grandchild of the boyʼs age and stood not to gain from flattering Denise or the boy spoke up hearing the Commissioner blame Denise for not telling her such an important piece of news which almost hurt the hope of their city. As for how did he hear this rumor, letʼs just say he had friends in the inner circle of the Circleʼs sky blossom city branch.

”I do not know about that rumor, but he seems to be ʼvery closeʼ with Southern Emperor if you know what I mean. She even showed up to watch his duel in the city card fight tournament. Then there is the news about him being the fraudster of the year who managed to con the southern emperor into helping him successfully register a patent for a fake product. What was it called? Itʼs on the tip of my tongue but I cannot remember it,” another police chief who was not on good terms with Denise took the opportunity to put her in her place.
