Chapter 939 My Jurisdiction
Paul didn't respond to her thanks. He was still hung up on the fact that Stephanie knew
Leonard Sullivan. "Do you know that new Police Commissioner?”
"Yeah. He was my classmate.’
Classmate?
Paul frowned, feeling threatened all of a sudden. He'd seen how bright Stephanie's smile
was when she spoke to Leonard and how close that man was to her when he escorted her
out. It felt like his advances were being rejected.
'TH drive you back. Let's go.” Paul sighed, pushing down all those worrying thoughts of
his.
Stephanie shook her head. "I'm gonna wait for Jenny and Alec to come out. N

time with her that way.
"Stay away from Jenny from now on, please. You'll only get involved in more dangerous
situations like this with her current status." If it weren't for Jenny, Stephanie wouldn't have
been abducted.
Stephanie shot him a look. "What if it was you and Alec? Would you stop being friends with
him if you were in my position?"
Paul wanted to point out how different he was compared to Stephanie but ended up
swallowing his words. "Fine, fine, do whatever you want.’
She was just as stubborn as he remembered!
While the two waited outside, Leonard checked Jenny's interrogation, letting her out after
making sure nothing was amiss.
He was just about to interrogate Alec personally when his superior called him into his
office. Leonard was then subjected to a series of yelling and table slamming by the Police
Commissioner for his actions while he silently waited for the man to finish.
"Release them all at once!" the Commissioner instructed once he was done screaming.
"They broke the law by carrying and using arms, sir. In broad daylight, too. We can't just
let them go! What would people think?" Leonard questioned.
Even the online media masses had turned their attention to the commotion earlier,
arguing that the police force should do something about it.
"Just tell the public it was one of our training sessions." The Police Commissioner had long
thought of an excuse to placate the media, not intending to open a case.
"These people are beyond the reach of law because of the choices we make. Are you sure
this is what you want in the city?" Leonard questioned. He'd dreamt of being a police

that he was in the force, he realized that truly doing so was a far more arduous task than
ever imagined.
His superior shot him a glare. "What do you think? You know how powerful these people
are. You don't expect us to have them sentenced to death, do you?"
Leonard gritted his teeth but said nothing, still upset about it.
"I'm warning you, Leonard. Don't do anything foolish just because you think it's what
justice demands. This is Bardoff City, and it is under my jurisdiction. So let them all go
now!" his superior demanded.
Leonard could only comply because his superior's word was law here in the city. The
alternative to obeying the man's order was equivalent to turning his badge and gun in.
With a sigh, he left the office. Arms crossed over his chest, Leonard gnawed on his cheek,
the bundle of tension in his chest never once declining.
