Despite the heavy rain, all the members of the gang in each respective school and executives are still on it. While Nyx is slowly nearing the campus, the executives in his school are now out of shape to continue fighting anymore. They are barely hanging on, and are hair width away from being conquered by Riverdale school.
At the same time, Leo saw in sight the old factory Chris was talking about where Blade had his friend being held captive. Leo rushed and sped up upon seeing it on sight, that he left Chris and went ahead. Leo arrived and was now standing at the big gate of the old factory, he gathered his breath and slowly opened up the gate. The inside was so quiet with no one in sight, and there's a light in the factory that was flickering. Leo looked around using his eyes, and at the second floor someone emerged from the shadow.
“Welcome to my den Leo, of the Mad Lion!” Said by someone as he slowly emerged from the shadow.
Leo was surprised upon hearing the word “Mad Lion” being said by someone and thought that Noir must be behind all of this.
Leo then looked above and shouted, “Who are you? Show your face!”
“Now, now, don't be too impatient.” Said by Blade smirking looking at Leo who was down below.
While in Blade's side was Rexx, his right hand man and also the second ranked executives of Riverdale school.
“You seemed surprised by the fact that I knew who you truly were. Judging by how you look, It's like I'm not the guy you are expecting.” Said Blade.
“I do, but seeing that it's not him, I'm glad.” Said Leo, while looking confident that he can get out of it easily.
“Now! Show me where you hide my friend!” Leo added.
“HAHAHA! Your friend?!” Blade answered, laughing at Leo's remarks.
“Your friend, what the hell are you talking about?” Blade added, while still laughing about it.
All while Chris finally arrived at the old factory, Chris then put up his hand at the gate gasping for air at the entrance. Leo looked at Chris, and Chris, seeing Leo's terrifying gaze, quickly ran up the stairs to where Blade and Rexx are located.
“Chris! What is the meaning of this?!” Leo asked Chris in confusion.
Chris felt the intent of Leo's word, and it almost stopped him from running towards Blade. But in his mind, if he goes back now, he would undoubtedly face the consequences of his actions. So he continued to walk and ignored Leo's question.
After Chris stood up on Blade's left side, he then began to look at Leo below without showing any expressions.
“From now on, I declare that I am now a member of Riverdale! I don't want anything to do in your school anymore!” Said Chris shouting at Leo below.
“I'm tired to all of you arrogant bastards that think anything would go your way just because you're strong!” Chris added.
Leo was pissed upon hearing Chris remarks, he gripped his fist. But then Blade suddenly butt in in their conversation.
“What did you even do to this guy, for him to garner so much hate towards all of you?” Blade asked, “He crawled unto me that day, and proceeded to make a deal with me HAHA. He was all beat up with blood and bruises all over his face and body, saying that he wanted our school to destroy all of you!” Blade added while laughing.
“He proposed that I should conquer your school, and destroy each and every executive. Especially you Leo and a man named Nyx” Blade added.
What happened before Chris betrayed Leo and Nyx school… Was when Nyx beat him up in the alley near the front gate. Chris was lying unconsciously on the ground after Nyx was done beating him up. After a couple of minutes had passed, he gained consciousness, and his body was sore and in so much pain from the beatings he took. Chris was so pissed and vowed to get his revenge and stood up while clearly having difficulty doing so. He held his side with his hand trying to ease the pain, all while swearing nonstop at Nyx, and slowly walking towards a certain location.
Chris was in a state of someone that was in need of care at the hospital. But the first place he went into was not at the hospital. But in fact to the campus of Riverdale. Chris went there with only one purpose in mind, to get his revenge. He knew it himself that he was not powerful enough to fulfill it, so he needed some helping hand. That's why he met up with Blade and his executives, and proposed something that would help them. Chris let them know that he is willing to betray his school, and so Blade listened to what he was going to say.
Chris then went on to curse Ethan and every executive and also Leo and Nyx. But the main point was, Chris only wanted to see them crawling and being destroyed no matter who did it. And so he disclosed all of the plans Ethan and the executives had and also everything about Leo and his friend. But Chris was unaware of the fact that Leo was the leader of the gang in the north street called the Mad Lion, only Blade knew that fact. Blade was confident that their school could take down Chris' school, so he stopped Chris from saying anything more than necessary, and only asked about Leo in particular. so Blade focused only on Leo and asked Chris to say anything he knew about him.
Chris then went on to say everything, from Leo being the unknown and first executive in their school and even his friend Nyx and Jaydin. And after Blade heard that, he devised his original plan in his head. He now thought about playing it big, and instead of conquering a school. Blade was now driven by his greed for power and wanted to swallow the gang leader Leo, of the Mad Lion. Blade then proposed a condition by promising Chris that he would accept them only if he would do what he requested. Chris easily agreed to Blade's request, Blade only instructed to tell Leo that one of his friends was captured by him, and also to lead him to the location of the old factory where Blade, Rexx and a bunch of people would lie in ambush.
Chris then left after accepting it, and proceeded to go to see a doctor at the hospital. And after he was done with the check up, Chris quickly walked along the road where Leo usually takes on the way to his house. While thinking on how he would convince Leo to go with him and lead him to the promised location. That's when he thought about using one of Leo's friends as a bait, and he chose Jaydin, the one he beat up at the school entrance. Since Leo knew that Nyx was absurdly strong to be held captive. And Jaydin was just a push over, so it's a given.
Blade then discussed the plan he devised to his executives and assigned each and every one of them a role, that leads to the recent happenings. Blade knew that Leo was a gang leader of one of the 4 major gangs that held the north street which is called Mad Lion. He happened to know it accidentally by a certain someone, the plan that he first had was just only the school. But since opportunity presented itself to him, he grabbed it to fulfill his unending greed and pursuit of power. And now that leads to the current scenario where Leo was now in the old factory, Blade was planning to replace him. Up to now, all goes according to his plan…
And now at the current scenario in the old factory, after Leo and Chris conversed and Blade disclosed his plan. Suddenly roughly around 150 members of the Riverdale school gang's, out of nowhere, emerged hiding in the shadows while some of them even had weapons except guns. In the tense confrontation at the old factory, Leo's expression hardened upon learning about Chris's betrayal and Blade's elaborate scheme. The odds seemed stacked against him as the Riverdale gang members revealed themselves, armed and ready.
