The female owner watched as the leading Lizardman made a simple gesture, and over a dozen Lizardmen behind him blocked the entrance, preventing anyone from coming in.

On the outskirts of Chasing Light City, while it's not permitted for gangs to act against official residents and shops owned by real residents, the security offered is only minimal.
In cases where these gang members act recklessly, teaching them a lesson might just cost some Bits. But since they have jobs, if they got injured, even with some compensation, the time spent recovering might cause them to lose their jobs. So, they try to avoid trouble as much as possible.
To truly be safe, one must live in the city center, where fighting is absolutely prohibited and the city's patrol regularly surveys the area. No one dares to cause trouble there.
