The newcomers in Slough had stayed for a couple of days and they were starting to settle down. Killer, along with his father Earny, had pretty much made their decision that they would be staying here.The place was far better than the last area they were in, and for Killer, the most he would be losing was his friends, with whom he didn't feel very close. Outside of school, he would only hang around with the other gang members, trying to get a position in a lower division gang of the Scavengers. Going back wasn't an option, and he didn't want to go back when staying in a city like this.As for Herbert, the leader of the small gang that was in charge of recruiting the kids, he too knew that there was no going back. Finding out that the Scavengers were being run by a stronger corporation, they would wring him dry, asking for information about the Howlers, and even if he gave it, he felt like his life was still on the line. In the current city he felt safe, but unlike the others, because
The original task that had been set for Elijah was to find out about the infected solution. He needed as much proof as possible regarding what NIRV was doing to put pressure on the large corporation.The main reason why NIRV used other gangs in the first place was because they could wipe their hands clean of everything. Even now, Elijah was pretty sure there would be no links left behind, or at least no one with knowledge. With Vlad, there would at least be a bit of proof, and they could investigate further into just what the solution did.Unlike before, it was clear that the infected solutions were getting better and not driving the host mad as they would do before. Everyone had turned to Vlad, expecting him to answer, to speak up about what he thought about the whole thing, but there was silence on his end."Are you sure you're able to protect him if we did that?" Kai asked. "I have a feeling that if you did bring him in, then it would be under the guise that he was a criminal, whic
Vere continued to stare back and forth between all three who were in front of her: the large Austin, the charismatic Kai, and then there was just Gary. She had seen his display of strength against the other Altered, but she just thought there would be more to the leader."Sorry!" Vere apologized immediately and lowered her head. She had been quiet for a while now due to the shock and realized that it could come across as quite rude. "If you please allow me to, I wish to join the Howlers. I promise that I will become a useful and valuable member to you in any way possible.""No worries; Austin already told me everything you did to him. Maybe you can train some of our restless youngsters as well," Gary replied back."I know our idiot may not seem capable," Austin butted in, which seemed out of the blue after the conversation was over. But judging by Vere’s reaction, Austin felt like he needed to say something. "But our leader is the most capable person there is."I, and the rest of the
Kai was a bit taken back by Gary’s words. He knew he was quite impulsive at times, but so far his impulsiveness led to great results. Even this time, in some way, him heading to a tier-4 city could have been disastrous for the group, but it all ended up working out in the end, but with this, Notsburg was already dealt with, it was already in their hands. “Do you think that’s a good idea?” Kai asked. “I mean, I know you might have gotten stronger from all of this, and eaten these crystals to power yourself up, but you still have some time before you have to fight him, right?” Kai only knew small details about how the whole pack thing worked. It wasn’t a question he asked Gary, about how he knew the final details, since he would just answer with 'a feeling', but he knew that all werewolves were able to challenge the Alpha once a month for their position. It hadn’t been a month yet, so in Kai’s mind, it would make sense to try to get as strong as possible until the last moment.Howeve
Listening to Gary’s words, the others had made their resolve not to get involved in this fight between the two werewolves. They took a step back and stood by the door, away from everything that was about to happen.Midwak was by far the hardest opponent that any of them had ever faced, and unlike some Altered or enemies that had reached the peak of their strength, he, being a werewolf, was determined to get stronger. He wouldn't be the same person that they had all fought against, and now Gary was going up against him alone, and the night sky wasn't out. Because of all of this, Gary had received an unexpected quest.[You have taken the initiative as a leader to face a member of your pack who is close to your level. Due to your bravery, if you complete the task, you will be rewarded.][Skill Upgrade: Claw Drain Level 2 >>>> Claw Drain Level 3]Gary knew full well the importance of skills, and the great thing was that the higher his skills were, it would mean when it was nighttime, they
A year had gone by since the fight between Gary and Midwak for the battle over who would be the Alpha of the Howlers' pack. In turn, whoever won this fight would have control of the other Beta Werewolves, which included Kai, Olivia, and Maria.It wasn't just the Howlers' pack, but more so the entirety of the Howlers' corporation that was on the line. Thankfully, Gary had managed to win. It wasn't an overwhelming victory, but it was a victory that had been achieved during the day.It showed that Gary now had the strength to defeat a powerful Omega wolf at Midwak's level without using the class skills he had obtained. The reason for him doing this had worked out as well.Midwak, although able to challenge Gary once every month, had never challenged for the position again, nor did he seem to complain about the tasks he was given by Kai.This was all because a promise between the two after that fight had been made, and although Midwak was still wild and hard to control, he seemed to be ke
Gary sat down in his seat and pulled the chair closer to the table. As he lifted his head, he looked into Xin's eyes. They were as beautiful as ever. What had started out originally as just a simple crush had grown stronger in Gary's heart.The two of them, although having spent little time in total together, he still had yet to find someone who made his heart beat faster or gave him the feeling of butterflies when he saw them in person.It had been over a year now since the two had met in person, and yet here he was in front of her, getting those same feelings again."It's been a long time since I've come back to this hometown of mine," Xin said. "It really has changed a lot, and look at you as well, you look completely different. No, there is something different about you."Gary smirked as the courses came out and were delivered to the table. They were small in size but with several smaller plates, allowing a person to get a true taste of everything. It was a fine dining experience
Almost immediately after hearing the words that Gary had said, Xin dropped her fork, which she was using to enjoy her dessert, onto the ground. It took her a moment or two, and she only reacted when Gary was the one who went to pick it up.The two of them slid under the table and reached to get the fork."It's okay, I'll get it," Xin said, as she placed it back on her plate and sat there in silence, looking at Gary until she eventually smiled."Haha, that's quite the funny joke, Gary," Xin chuckled. "I mean, it's a good way to try and convince me, but it's kinda cruel, don't you think? You know, growing up, all I would hear were the bad news and stories about gangs from my father, even though he was quite the big hypocrite."It wasn't just her father, but even during the time she had lived with her brother, the two of them would always consider those working for gangs as scum. Yet, everywhere Xin's father, Ben Clove went, he would work closely with a gang to get what he wanted. This t
