The Daybreak members watched wordlessly as the Engelnacht forces used intimidation to scatter the bystanders. They waited patiently as Cyzarine spoke, but the tension between the two sides was clear if not overt. Cyzarine was intimidating, but it seemed she didn't know too much about politics just yet.

"Madam, with all due respect, I'm afraid your suggestion is much too outrageous for us to agree to. Here we are, in broad daylight," the leader stepped forward and spread his arms wide, then pivoted for emphasis, "and you already threaten to blow us sky-high if we misstep, despite us having shown no semblance of any ill will against you." He was speaking of the Engelnacht forces' bazookas. "What makes you think that we would agree to come to your private residence, which is populated with those who work for you, if you already show such blatant ill will towards us?"

He resumed a normal stance. "Instead, I suggest that we meet at a... more neutral location, where there are plenty of third parties present in the vicinity should either of us make any aggressive motions towards the other. There are plenty of high-end hotels downtown. We could easily rent out a ballroom for a private meeting a couple hours if need be."

"But right now, the police should be arriving soon. If you don't want to be stuck explaining why there are chunks of dead Faunus on the concrete, it would be best to retreat for the moment. A few of us will stay behind to explain the mess."

The leader and two of his compatriots began moving back to one of their cars, while the other three stayed put.

"I think your suggestion retains some merit. A meeting between your leader and mine should be sufficient in settling this matter. Please expect a more detailed proposition to your main landline within a few hours." With that he and half of the men got into a sports car and drove off.

Fen watched the exchange with no shortage of shock. To think that I could be considered so important that these two groups are arguing over me?

She got out of the car, seeing as the threat had passed, and walked over to Cyzarine. All she could do was apologize.

"Look, Cyzarine, I have no idea what happened but I'm really, really sorry about this mess I got you into. If there's any way I can make it up to you, please let me know."

"Also, you said you had your own agenda, but now these guys want me, so whether I stay with you or go back to Beacon is totally up to you."

If only the girl didn't have to solve all her problems in such a violent, gruesome manner.

As the vanguards drove away and out of earshot, the leader pulled out his cutting-edge Scroll and dialed Zanipher through their private connection.

"I'm assuming you ran into some trouble? I've been in this garage for some time."

"Yes ma'am, apologies for that, the Black Order Battalion's second daughter intervened on behalf of the Suzhen girl, and we were unable to bring her back."

"Ah, the wild card. It seems we'll have to make some minor adjustments then. Did she say anything to you?"

The vanguard leader relayed his exchange with the girl.

"..."

"Are you thinking of actually going to a meeting with them?"

"If we maintain ourselves as a professional corporation, there should be no problem. They'll find that they have made a mountain out of a molehill."

"True, if there's to be a synonym for the BOB, it's overkill. I bet their house is mined with nukes based off the reception they gave us just now."

"Haha. Anyway, we'll come up with a complete plan once you return."

"Sounds good, see you then."

He ended the conversation. Leaning the car seat back, he yawned.

"I never realized dealing with kids was such a pain. "
