Who Should Be the Chief?

Dustin swallowed two pieces of char siu. After considering things for a moment, he wiped his mouth and hands with a napkin. He turned around and said, "Given my years of friendship with Brad, I'm sure that it wasn't his idea, but it was definitely a request from someone he couldn't refuse."

Luke and Selina exchanged glances and realized what was going on.

Brad was NYPD's First Deputy Commissioner, on par with NYPD's Police Chief.

His only direct superior was the commissioner.

If it was above that, the only people who could give him orders were the city councilors and the mayor.

Had Kingpin's power already expanded to this extent? Luke and Selina were a little surprised.

An underground power stepping into the light was truly a huge difference.

It was no wonder Kingpin had remained as steady as a mountain in the face of multiple investigations by federal and local law enforcement.
