Listening to the mysterious teenagers, Jaya gathered that they were here to meet Wyatt. Seeing them show hostility toward Wyatt and her, Jaya became alert ready to fight them if necessary. She eyed the teenage boy and girl who were debating about taking her hostage or killing her. The girl named Gloria was a tall blonde in a white halter top. She was in the card grandmaster realm the same as Jaya but the boy who ordered her was surprisingly in the card master realm. He was gray-haired with a tall and slim build. Jaya felt the boy either had incredible status or power beyond his realm to command the girl in a realm higher than him. "Gloria, just go and capture her. We are not here to make enemies of the Southern Hope but wish him luck in his pursuit," the boy snapped at the blonde girl asking her to do what she was told. Shaking her head Gloria came forward heading toward Jaya, asking, "What kind of vulgar attire is that? Is that how you locals dress down here in the Deep South? And what's with the tiara? Are you supposed to be the princess of the local tribe or something?"

"Vulgar?" Jaya took a look at her bodysuit, it was tightly wrapped around her well-endowed physique. It highlighted her ample curves, slim waist, flat belly with defined lines, and long legs. Then she looked at Gloria's body, especially her chest and ass, she had none. Jaya unconsciously grinned having made this observation. "You bitch," Gloria yelled seeing the wide grin on Jaya's face when she glanced at her chest and ass right after glancing at her own. Jaya's action could not have been more obvious and proactive in Gloria's eyes. "Shadow Fang," Gloria summoned a dragger with a pitch-black blade, gray hilt, and red handle as she dashed at Jaya in rage. However, as she neared Jaya she suddenly retreated jumping back while performing a double flip to dodge a crimson energy slash that was aimed at her. Then, she frantically scanned her surroundings, yelling, "Who dares to attack me?" The crowd of noisy teenagers who were cheering for Gloria suddenly turned silent seeing the crimson energy slash that appeared out of nowhere. Soon, all their gazes moved and converged on a group of fellow peers dressed in the Southern Watch armor. Seeing them their expression turned dignified. Seeing the Southern Watch armor, even Gloria turned silent and intently glanced at the girl leading the group. But receiving a signal from the boy who ordered her to capture Jaya, she raged at the girl leading the group of teenagers dressed in Southern Watch armor, "Aria, what is the meaning of this?" "I should be the one asking you that," Aria Art asked Gloria emitting an overbearing aura. Gloria glared at Aria but seeing the intimidating Southern Watch armor Aria was donning Gloria chose to swallow her words and remain quiet. Seeing this the boy ordering Gloria shook his and spoke up, "Captain Art, are you here on official Southern Watch duty?" Following the voice, Aria looked at the boy. Learning his identity her brows frowned, and she reluctantly replied, "No, young master Cervos. We are off duty right now."

Listening to Aria's reply the silent crowd sighed in relief and once again grew rowdy while Cervos and Gloria had a knowing smile. Gloria who was hesitant earlier, stepped toward Aria and asked, "Captain Art, mind explaining why you attacked me? I showed no sign of aggression toward you."

"You know why I attacked you," Aria responded with disdain and ordered one of her subordinates, "Escort the civilian out of here and back to the city."

"Yes, Captain," As a soldier prepared to escort Jaya back to the city safely. Two teenagers blocked his path and young master Cervos said, "I am afraid that is not possible Captain Art." "Young master Cervos, what is that supposed to mean? I can overlook your unlawful gathering over the air space of a third-rate city but I cannot overlook you intentionally harming an innocent citizen" This was why Aria was hesitant about revealing that they were off duty. The teenagers gathered here were all from prominent families and had little regard for authority, especially for the off-duty Southern Watch squad. "Captain Art, you are going to do just that, unless you want to go against me," Cervos said as a baleful aura emitted from his body covering the Aria and her squad. 'Shit, what kind of mess did I get myself into?' Jaya thought glancing at Cervos who despite being a mere Card Master dared to threaten Captain Art a peak card lord. Not to mention, her squad of teenage soldiers seemed to have the minimum realm of card lord. Witnessing this Jaya wondered what gave Cervos the confidence to go against them together. However, observing how the rowdy crowd was cheering for Cervos, Jaya felt he was not bluffing and might be the real deal, especially considering that even a captain of the Southern Watch addressed him respectfully despite their disagreement. Noticing that the atmosphere was getting heated, Jaya suddenly spoke up, "Captain Art, no need for an escort I can head back to the city myself." Having said that Jaya prepared to rush to the city and report what she saw and heard to her sister and Wyatt. However, before she could retreat the teenagers surrounded her blocking all the exits. Thinking she would have to fight her way out of her, Jaya balled her fist ready to knock a few teeth out. "Where do you think you are going? I am not done with you yet you cow," Gloria said grudgingly. She seemed to have taken serious offense to Jaya's action previously and planned to make Jaya suffer. Seeing Gloria and other kids corner Jaya, Aria stared at Cervos and warned, "Young Master Cervos, you are strong but Wyatt defeated a devil. Please, think twice before you poke the hornet's nest." Having read the Southern Royal family's dossier on Wyatt while serving as his bodyguard, Aria was aware of Jaya's identity as Wyatt's subordinate.

"I have heard about it too but let me remind you he isn't the only one who can borrow powers."
