"You guys are the police, not here to buy a car.

Indeed, men can't be trusted. At my age, I still get deceived by men." The black lady boss Lilith's voice turned sharp, as if she was reminding others that the police had arrived.

This unreasonable tone made Blackie a bit fed up, warning, "Don't change the subject, and don't play tricks. Where's the car?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I've already said, I don't have that kind of car here. You can check out other dealerships." Lilith put on a demeanor of seeing them out.

"You think we're just visiting?

Before we came, we investigated thoroughly. That dark blue Cayenne is here with you. Hand over the car, and we'll help you get a favorable plea deal.

This benefits everyone. Otherwise, things won't go well for you."

The black lady boss Lilith seemed greatly aggrieved, "Sir, I respect the police, but I don't like threats.

We're doing legitimate business, you can't scare me."

The other employees of the dealership heard the commotion and gathered around, standing behind Lilith, showing their support with real actions, looking at Luke and Blackie with vigilance and anger.

"Wow, wow...so many people."

Blackie stepped back two steps to keep a certain distance from the gathered employees, meanwhile, glancing at everyone, glaring at them fiercely, "What do you want to do? Assault the police relying on numbers?"

Lilith said, "We have no such intention."

Blackie smirked, "But you have this action, I know why you're doing this, you're deliberately stalling for time, trying to hide that car."

Lilith smirked, so what if you see through it, there's only two of you.

Blackie suddenly pulled a gun from his waist, startling the dealership employees, causing them to back away.

"Bang!" Blackie fired a shot into the sky.

"Ah!" Several dealership employees dropped to the ground in fright.

Lilith showed an angry expression, "What do you mean by this? Threatening me?" Lilith raised her hands, "Just because we didn't cooperate, you want to shoot people?"

Luke was also a bit surprised, not expecting Blackie to be so firm, unlike his usual style.

David possessed?

However, since it was done, Luke had to back him up, placing his right hand on the gunman, eyeing the people present.

If someone makes a move, the next shot won't be at the sky.

"Woo woo..."

At this moment, police sirens sounded all around, with several police cars pulling up to the dealership entrance.

Heavily armed officers got out of the cars, pointing their guns at the people inside the dealership, shouting, "LAPD!"

"Nobody move, hands up!"

"Oh my God, what are you doing!" Lilith was a bit frantic, she's the type of person who judges others based on their appearance, just bickering a moment ago, how did things suddenly turn nasty?

"I gave you a choice earlier." Blackie waved his hand, shouting, "I received information that this dealership is hiding a stolen car.

Take everyone here back for questioning."

"Yes, sir."

Detective Chief Marcus ordered, and the officers cuffed everyone at the dealership.

Lilith's lips trembled slightly, whether from anger or fright, "You didn't need to do this, just take me...I can tell you where the car is."

"No need for that." Blackie pointed to the employees in the back, "All of them can tell me."

Lilith questioned, "Hey, why treat me this way? Did I offend you?"

"I'm not called hey, I'm Detective Chief Marcus, remember that name, understand?"

Lilith caved, "Detective Chief Marcus, I was wrong.

I'll tell you right now where the car is, don't arrest my employees, they don't know anything."

Marcus walked up to her, whispered, "I don't want to make this troublesome, but if I let you off this time, others will belittle me.

I hope this incident makes everyone remember Detective Chief Marcus."

With Blackie's order, everyone at the dealership was taken into the police cars, and the dealership was shut down.

Luke laughed, "Detective Chief Marcus, you're quite intimidating."

Blackie sighed in relief, rubbing his somewhat damp palms, "Just putting on a false front, still need you to hold the fort."

Luke whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Are you trying to use this to make a name for yourself?"

Blackie sat at the front of a car, resting his hands on his legs, "We were once a pair of golden partners.

But you've been growing all along, constantly learning various investigative skills, climbing ranks, Detective Chief, Deputy Team, Captain.

I...don't want to hold you back.

I also want to grow, I know my other abilities are not strong.

So maybe just do what I'm good at well."

"You have a goal?"

"Yes, I hope the whole Los Angeles gang scene hears of Detective Chief Marcus, not see me as a nameless pawn, ignored by an arrogant fat woman."

"Not a bad idea."

"Will you support me?" Blackie made this decision after much deliberation, hoping to expand his influence among gangs through this incident.

Previously, Blackie had numerous informants in gangs, but maintaining these relationships wasn't because his police status was high, rather because he grew up in the black ghetto, familiar with gang rules, most of his childhood playmates joined gangs, those still alive have become central figures in the gangs.
