Chapter 532: The Wolf’s Break

Thanks to his enhanced hearing, Kai was able to make out the sound of someone being at the door, even from downstairs in his office. Wondering who it might be at this late hour, he decided to take a break from the paperwork and find out.

It was only when he was at the stairs that he noticed that the noise didn't belong to a single individual, but a small group. Not fearing for his own safety, the Werewolf opened the door.

"It's rare to see visitors at this time of night." Kai stated as he got a good look at the three before him. After a slight moment of surprise from suddenly having the door opened from the inside, the visitors immediately bowed down.

"W-we are so sorry for disturbing you late at night…sir." A female voice stuttered.

"Don't you think that's a bit much? He looks the same age as us." A male voice spoke his mind.

As a result, the boy received a kick from his female companion, making the other boy shake his head for ruining their first impression.

"Your friend is right, there's no need to address me as sir. Now, how about we take this talk inside." Kai suggested, trying to keep a smirk off his face over their antics. e.o

Entering the Wolf's Pool Club were naturally none other than Numba, Izzy and Ian. They had been told by Will that this establishment was seemingly the main meeting place of the Howlers' gang.

Although it was quite late, gangs weren't exactly limited to operating during business hours. Unsure whether it would be more respectful to greet the Howlers now or later, they eventually decided on the former. However, while they had still been making up their mind what to say, Kai had surprised them.

Like a good host, he went ahead and got the three of them some pop drinks from behind the bar. After that the blonde teenager gestured them to take a seat on the bar stools, already having a good guess as to why they had come to Slough.

"As you can see, this place is empty, but something is telling me you aren't here for a game of pool or drinks." Kai suggested.

"We… We heard that this place belongs to the Howlers. Are you part of their group, by any chance?" Numba asked politely again.

"Ah yes, I suppose you don't recognise me looking like this." Kai chuckled. The next moment he transformed part of his arm in front of them, showing his grey fur. "Well, at least I can be sure now that the masks do their job."

The three weren't gang members, and their groups' interests aligned for the foreseeable future, so Kai didn't mind revealing this much as a sign of goodwill. He knew them to be friends of Gary and Kai trusted in their leaders judgement of people.

"Y-you're that grey Altered from before!" Ian's eyes widened. "I am so sorry for being rude to you earlier, I thought that would have been an old man… or like an older teenager or something."

"It's okay." Kai replied. "You behaved without taking into account our positions, and frankly I'd prefer you continue doing that. Anyway, you still have yet to tell me what brings you over."

Numba's face changed, now that he knew that he was actually talking to a high ranking knowing member of the Howlers, and most likely a top one as well.

"We were sent here by the Cardenez group, to support you from a possible attack for the Scatterbugs." Numba proudly said. "Although, we don't think you will have any trouble dealing with them. We believe that it is not right that the Howlers take on all the risk, that we should have some part on the line as well."

Kai nodded as he heard these words. If it was a large-scale attack, then of course having three Altered, especially talented ones like these, would always be a welcome help.

"I assume that you came here directly because you wish to meet our leader as well? Perhaps to personally thank him?" Kai asked and the three nodded in unison.

"That's too bad. Unfortunately, you just missed him. However, I will happily pass on the message to him."

There was a nervous pause as the students didn't really know what to do now. They had money for a place to stay and so on, but there was one more thing on their mind. It looked like Numba felt uncomfortable to overstretch Kais hospitality, so Izzy decided to do so instead.

"Gary Dem." Izzy started off. "He is our fellow student from the AFA. We wanted to ask if you know where he is. You see, we are quite close with him… and wanted to also know if he asked the gang for help. We just hope that he won't get in trouble or has to do some crazy deal to get you to help him."

Kai couldn't help but smile at this sweet statement. 'How did you manage to win over a bunch of students like this? Gary, you really do have this natural nature as a leader to attract people around you.'

"Don't worry, Gary has quite the special status in the Howlers and I'm happy to learn that he has made such caring friends during his stay." Kai stated. "Tell you what, if you come here tomorrow, I'll make sure to arrange a meeting with Gary and our leader. Also, if you guys don't have a place to stay, then I can take you to one of our hotels we have part ownership in, let me just grab my things."

Kai went downstairs and the three students were happy to know that the members of the Howlers were kind people. They knew that gang members were hard to deal with, but it didn't seem to be the case here.

*KRGG*

"Did you hear that?" Ian asked, turning around, toward the door and could see the handle moving up and down.

"I think someone is trying to get in." Izzy answered as the door continued to be rattled around.

The next second, the door was kicked right off its hinges and went flying towards the group. Numba quickly stood in the way and knocked the door to the side.

Standing at the entrance was a man in a Hawaiian shirt.

    Chapter 553:

    Standing on the other side of the door, Gary hadn't pushed it open immediately. He had been running around the casino for a while, searching for the leader of the Scatterbugs. However, during his search, he had only found insignificant people.

    Staff managers in charge of the casino had attempted to stop him, but the Werewolf had dealt with them quickly, to the point that it had barely slowed him of.

    All of this, though, had made him aware that the absence of the higher-ups wasn't a coincidence. Then, when he found the elaborate door, he had heard the breaths of many people inside.

    - I can smell him, and I can sense him as well. There's another Werewolf on the other side. - Gary thought.

    - The person who did that to Kai, who placed him up like that on the show for everyone to see.

    - Slough, the town was meant to be a safe place for us Howlers, but while I was away, this damned Werewolf came in and did that. To a member of the Howlers, to a member of my Pack!

    With the anger and rage building inside him, and the image of Kai in his head, Gary pushed the door open. There was no helping it, he had to face whoever was on the other side.

    With the doors opened it was just as Gary had expected, there were five men on either side of the room, all in fancy suits, all looking down on him. All of them were male, and their ages ranged wildly, but what stood out the most was the fact that none of them had weapons.

    Then again, it wasn't too surprising, because every single one of them was an Altered. They were confident in their skills, and in the fact that their own body was far deadlier than any weapon.

    - Will you look at this?! - Slith spoke with a large smile on his face, his hands out on his desk, displaying the large rings that were covering his fingers.

    - A member of that damned Howler gang has come all the way here, and what the hell is with that damned wolf mask?!

    At the other end of the room, were the two people that Gary had come here to see. From his clothes, his presence Gary understood that the one sitting had to be the leader of the Scatterbugs, and then there was the one next to him, Midwak, the one whose scent he had picked up from the ouside.

    [A new Quest has been received]

    [Against all odds, you have entered the Scatterbugs base]

    [An enemy that never thought of you as one is now forced into a tough situation]

    [Quest: Defeat the Scatterbugs gang]

    [Condition: the Scatterbugs gang will be considered defeated when all 11 Altered surrender or have been defeated]


    The Quest that popped up just reminded Gary about how hard this task would be, and confirmed the worst case scenario.

    Fighting against one Werewolf was already suicidal enough, but now he would have to face nearly a dozen Altered on top of that... This situation was nothing like the time he had barged into Olivia's office.

    - Why is it 11? What about the one who is responsible for it all? - Gary wondered as his gaze stayed on Midwak.

    However, his system wasn't down with the messages just yet as it had an additional quest that had appeared.

    [A new Quest has been received]

    [You are in the presence of an Omega Werewolf]

    [The Omega outranks you]

    [Should you lose a fight against him, the fate of you and your Pack will be in his Pack]


    - Hang on, other Werewolves also have ranks? thought that was something exclusive to me and my Pack due to the System... I'm at the Bishop Grade, so that means, he has to be at least a Rook.

    - No wonder he ended up beating Kai... No, now's not the time to think about that stuff, knew that guy was strong all along, and yet I've come here to take revenge anyway. He might be a natural Werewolf, but bet I'm still stronger due to the System!

    - With everything I have, I need to beat everyone in this room, including him. - Gary thought.

    - You are certainly skilled to have got this far. You know, that mask reminds me a lot of Midwak. - Slith continued monologuing.

    - It was the same for him, he had one day come barging into this room, but look at him now. Now he is by my side as one of my strongest allies, which is why I'm willing to make you the same offer.

    - Join us. You and the rest of the Howlers can join us. Submit, and the fighting will stop here and now. There will be no bad blood between us, and we can share the riches that we earn together. I think this isn't a bad deal, right?

    Gary was a bit surprised hearing that Midwak had also tried to attack the place, yet even more so to learn that he ended up failing. A bout of hesitation was starting to creep in, because in the end he wanted to keep everyone safee.

    Part of him knew that it was too early for him and the others to take on the Scatterbugs. They were still young, and they could always take their revenge after growing stronger in the future.

    - No... think about it, like Kai said all these people are the same. Who's to say he keeps his words? Even if work with him, he might change his mind at any moment.

    - I've heard what he did to Numba's family just because they refused can't, I can't join someone like that. I didn't break free from the Underdogs to go ahead and join a gang like this. - Gary shook his head.

    - So... what will it be? If you refuse, you will never be able to reach me. - Slith stated.

    Midwak by his side walked forward until the two of them were side by side.

    - There's no need for him to reach you. He's here for me. This whole thing has always been something between the two of us.

    The next moment, the man's entire hand transformed into that of a Werewolf and with a single wipe, his thick and long claws had slashed Slith's throat and blood started to quickly spill as the gang leader was bleeding out on top of his deck, a look of confusion ingrained in his eyes.
