*****

Olivia had been damaged from the simple slam on top of the head. It wasn’t that much force was used, it was almost as if just the right amount of force had been applied, enough to tip her off balance.

Struggling, she placed both hands on the ground by the side of her head, and tried to push herself up off the floor. However, Edvard continued to push down, and the two positions weren’t budging at all.

“I’m warning you now, it's best that you answer my question!” Edvard said, shoving her head into the ground with more force again before lifting it slightly. Her head was still near the ground in case Edvard chose to shove it in again.

“What are you Werewolves doing here, why have you left the city and what are you planning?” Edvard asked.

Olivia was still slightly dazed, shocked even at the situation. Even if this was an Altered Hunter, could a human really have such strength, such speed and not be an Altered? It seemed like an impossible feat.

“I don’t know what you mean... this has always been our city.” Olivia finally answered. As her head was starting to clear, she began to think of a possible answer.

Who else would know about the Werewolves' existence, and be this strong? At one point there was a warning, just due to their existence, that they would be after them at some point. It was quite possible, what they were dealing with right now, was a vampire.

From the small interactions they already had, Olivia already knew she could never win against such an opponent no matter how persistent she was, so she only had one chance.

‘If this really is a vampire... maybe he has the situation confused. Maybe they don’t know about us. Telling them the truth might be the only way to survive... or it might just be a quicker way to our deaths.’ Olivia thought, but they were now in a forced situation, where she needed to do anything.

“Why are you avoiding the question?” Edvard said, as he lifted Olivia right by her head. She was still in her Werewolf form so many of her wounds on her body had already healed, but Edvard quickly punched her in the stomach.

It was a heavy blow just like that on Marie, and blood splattered right out of Olivia’s mouth immediately. She coughed a few more times, and when lifting her head, she looked through the mask.

Right there, she could see it through the two eyeholes, the red glowing eyes staring right at her.

“Now tell me, why are you here?” Edvard asked, tightening his grip around her head at the same time.

What Edvard was using right now, was his influence powers. A vampire was able to use their powers to force the other to do their bidding. They could give commands, instructions and the other would follow.

There were those that were more resistant to this influence compared to others and at the same time there were those that had stronger influence powers. For a vampire living among humans this was their bread and butter, for living in the current world.

“We are not expanding, we are from Slough!” Olivia answered. “You have the wrong people.”

For a second, Edvard loosened his grip on Olivia’s head. He was sure that his Influence skill was working, so then why had the answer been like so? But what if what she was saying was the truth, what would that mean?

“Answer my question!” Edvard shouted at Olivia once more. “Your Alpha, the leader of the pack, are they the Kings that rule the north?”

“No,” Olivia answered.

Edvard’s eyes widened, this was new information that they had yet to obtain. What did this mean, how was this possible, and how long had it been since something like this had happened? He couldn’t get too excited though, because he needed to make sure.

“Then... who is your Alpha?” Edvard asked.

“He is... Gary Dem... the one who rules Slough.”

Immediately, Edvard dropped Olivia there and then, and she fell to the floor. She had quite possibly revealed the worst information possible for her gang. In the current world, one of the most important things one must never do was reveal their leader's name, and she had done just that.

‘What was that... it was as if information was being forced out of my brain,’ Olivia thought, but if the others learned about this, they would find it hard to believe her.

“A second Alpha has come, and of all things it's a Dem? No matter how long I live, history always seems to be repeating itself,” Edvard said.

He looked around at the two injured and tried to judge their strength while thinking about what to do, and eventually had somewhat come up with an answer.

‘With this information, we might be able to time things. A golden opportunity might arise out of all of this, but if they are like this, they won’t be useful to us at all.’

“If you want to survive out there, then the way you are now, you are far too weak. I have no clue about the rest of your pack and what their strength is, but if you were to go up against those in the North now, you would have already been killed."

“Until you are ready, don’t mess with the Kings in the North. That will be the best for both of us!”

Olivia just blinked, and just like that Edvard had disappeared right from her sight, letting her and Marie live.

“Marie... Olivia!” Running through the forest, Kai was shouting their names heading straight for their location.

    Chapter—682:
    The World Wide Group.

    White Rose was a global organization with departments operating in various countries, collaborating closely with local police forces and governments. Recognizing their expertise in dealing with Altered cases, the United Nations had granted them special privileges. Privileges that only they had above the police force.

    Initially, the first Altered that appeared were primarily involved in sports events and similar events. Due to the extravagant costs involved in the process, the number of Altered had been very limited in that era.

    However, over time, Altered solutions became a lot more accessible, be it legally through big companies selling them, or illegally through the black market. When this occured, this was when the first problems started to appear.

    Consequently, every country began to face significant challenges, with local governments losing control of the streets to criminal gangs. This problem persisted in many areas despite attempts to recruit Altered individuals into the police force. Unfortunately, due to the inherent dangers and inadequate compensation, very few Altered accepted.

    Why would they when they could easily earn more money through advertising, the AFC or by joining a gang?

    Given this situation, the world came together and established a public fund to create the organization now known as White Rose. Those unable to contribute financially were denied the privileges associated with the White Rose's power.

    In each contributing country, a main White Rose base was established to provide assistance as needed. These strategic location allowed agents to travel across the country for investigations efficiently.

    In England, the White Rose base was situated in the central city, Centrefield. Thanks to the base, it had become the country's safest city. Their presence alone had ensured that aside from some petty crimes, the nearby towns also had no gang presence.

    To ensure the safety of high-profile political figures and create a secure environment, parliament had been relocated from the capital to Centrefield. However, this shift had the unintended consequence of making the city an expensive place to live, accessible only to the wealthy and influential.

    Some people criticised that this made White Rose no better than any other gang controlled tier 1 city, though the officials involved vehemently refuted that claim. White Rose insisted that they were merely stationed there to protect the important people that made society work, and unlike gangs their personal followed strict laws.

    Despite the White Rose's influence, local governments remained responsible for dealing with issues in separate towns and cities. Consequently, they had little to no control, resulting in the current state of affairs.

    In the centre of Centrefield, there was a large oval building which looked somewhat like a mix between a palace and a prison. All the outside of the buildings were white in colour similar to their uniform, and this one was large and round like a colossus.

    Outside the main building, there were three walls that one had to get through before they could even reach the base. Constructed with thick steel, only specific sections of the walls had accessible entry points, each requiring a different security clearance.

    In between the walls, it was like a paradise, there was a lot of greenery cut to perfection. Rivers flowing through, heading all the way to the main building.

    Having walked through the last gate, two White Rose Agents were walking down a stone pathway toward the main building, in their bright uniforms.

    - It's been a while since we were last here. - Frank remarked.

    - Yes, and it seems like things have finally settled down a bit. - Sadie responded.

    - We were constantly being assigned to one case after another.

    - Yeah, but at least everything is good now. I was worried about you when you lost your Altered form.

    When Frank said those words, Sadie instinctively touched the back of her ankle. It no longer hurt, and the wound had long since healed. Although the medical staff and researchers found no correlation between that wound and her loss of powers, she was convinced that it had to have been the cause of it all.

    At first, it hadn't been too much of a problem, she had merely regarded it as a nasty wound that needed more time to heal. Unfortunately, Sadie had quickly found out that it was more than that.

    Since the Crazed Altered attack, Sadie had been plagued with issues concerning her Altered form. It was the first time she had encountered such difficulties. From that point onward, her transformations became increasingly unreliable. Sometimes she would achieve a full transformation, other times only a partial one, and frustratingly, there were occasions when her Altered abilities failed to manifest at all.

    Even when she did manage to transform, the loss of control was a constant battle. Parts of her body would revert to their human form, defying her attempts to maintain the full manifestation of her Altered abilities. The struggle to maintain command over her Altered form had become a frustrating and unpredictable aspect of her existence.

    Following the incidents, Sadie's Altered form vanished entirely. For an agonizing week, she found herself unable to undergo any transformation, feeling disconnected from the very essence of her abilities.

    Then, inexplicably, as if by some miraculous intervention, her powers resurfaced without warning, as if the week-long absence had never occurred. Simultaneously, she noticed the wound around her ankle had begun to heal at a normal pace, as if responding to the restoration of her Altered nature.

    - I've never heard of an Altered being able to do something like that. - Sadie said.

    - That whole case bugs me. - Frank added.

    - Speaking about it, did you see the latest news? That green-haired kid we called in, he's all over the television as the next big up-and-coming Altered fighter, but I was sure that when we tested him, he showed no signs of being an Altered.

    Sadie knew what Frank was getting at, if their test had failed at the time, there was a chance that the kid was somehow involved in that whole mess. Unfortunately for them, the case had been deemed solved after the discovery of the deceased Altered Billy, along with substantial evidence.

    - If you want to argue with the team who created the test kit, be my guest. No, it's far more likely that he became an Altered after that whole incident. - Sadie speculated.

    - Yeah, it's definitely odd, isn't it? - Frank mused, a perplexed expression crossing his face.

    - I mean, growing that powerful in such a short time frame? It's not something you see every day. Even kids from wealthy families who become Altered at a young age aren't guaranteed a shot at being AFC fighters.

    He leaned back, deep in thought.

    - And let's not forget how strange it is that he even became an Altered in the first place. Didn't we dig into his background? Came from a no-name family, barely had two pennies to rub together, and went to a regular school. It's not exactly the typical profile you'd expect for someone like him.

    Sadie nodded, acknowledging Frank's observation.

    - You're right, it's not unheard of for a candidate to be chosen from a school like that, but it is indeed very rare. There's something about that town, Slough. It feels like there's a lot more going on beneath the surface.

    She hesitated for a moment, contemplating the potential implications.

    - But honestly, I don't think we should delve too deeply into it. There have been minimal reports and requests for assistance from Slough. It seems like the higher-ups have chosen not to prioritize it. So, for now, I think it's best if we follow orders and avoid unnecessarily poking our noses into matters that might not concern us.

    - Ah, yes. - Frank interjected, his tone shifting to a more serious note.

    - Well, there might not be anything to do in Slough, but the opponent that Gary kid went against, he's being brought in today. They suspect that after he got knocked unconscious that he took something akin to the black liquid stuff. If that's the case, there's a chance that this could be a big catch for us.

    Sadie sighed.

    - It looks like we might get pretty busy soon.

      Chapter—683:
      White Rose structure.

      Entering the Centrefield building, Frank and Sadie made their way directly to their office, where their squad was located. As they entered, they exchanged brief waves with their fellow teammates before settling down at their desks, eager to get an update on the current situation within the base.

      - Whoa! - Frank exclaimd, his eyes glued to the screen.

      - Take a look at this, Sadie. Viper got promoted to Captain. Can you believe it?

      Sadie felt a vein on the side of her head begin to throb. She and Viper had started out in the same year, and up until now they had been holding the same rank. After being hired as official members, the rivalry between the two had continued.

      Unfortunately, despite having Viper beat in every test and assessment, ever since she had entered her squad, Sadie had been unable to show any significant achievement. It wasn't just her, either, but the whole squad felt that somehow they only ever received the cookie-cutter cases with not much to do.

      - Don't worry, Sadie. - Reassured Sam, a young man with bright orange hair and thick square glasses.

      - I heard that Captain Kanu will be joining us today. As long as we find out something meaningful, this could finally be a breakthrough for our squad.

      - If the captain gets promoted to the chief position, that will leave a vacancy. Although it's not guaranteed but usually the higher-ups like to like to pick someone from within the squad itself, and given your performance in the past you have a good chance, Sadie.

      Each squad consisted of twenty members, with four non-field agents providing support while the remaining sixteen, including the captain, were field agents like Frank and Sadie.

      Sam was one of the non-field agents who worked behind the scenes, gathering information and checking in with the police, among other things.

      The captain of their current squad was Captain Kanu, and he was also recently the one who had been sent to deal with the AFC situation involving Haze.

      In most cases, agents worked in pairs to handle assignments, but depending on the severity, a whole squad or even multiple squads could be deployed.

      Sadie was a high achiever, so she wanted to reach the rank of Captain as soon as possible. Now that Viper had beaten her to it, she had yet another reason for wanting to get promoted. Unfortunately, a position which she had considered to be reachable in a matter of time had become more and more elusive, something she partially blamed Captain Kanu for, as their superior was more on the relaxed side.

      - That lazy ginger beard! - Sadie couldn't contain her frustration.

      - It's just my luck that I got assigned to the one man, nicknamed the sloth. Aaarrrgh how can someone in White Rose lack the necessary ambition and passion to get promoted?!

      The position above Captain was Chief. They were the ones in charge of the Captains within a certain area. Above them would be the Superintendent. The Superintendent was a special position because they were more in charge of disciplining internal members.

      Even for those with positions higher than Chief, they would deal with the matter personally if they needed to but weren't directly in control of any groups.

      At the very top, three positions — Assistant Chief Constable, Deputy Chief Constable, and Chief Constable, ran the entire White Rose organization within the country.

      These positions were based on achievements rather than raw strength, although the two often went hand in hand. Those in high-ranking positions faced threats from assassins and anti- White Rose groups, requiring strength to survive.

      Alas, in rare circumstances some strong Altered found themselves unable to gather noteworthy achievement, causing them to stay in the same position for years to come. And it was the very squad that Sadie was in, along with their captain, Kanu.

      - I can tell that the next joint assessment is going to be fun. Well, at least you have your powers back now and have nothing to worry about. - Frank said and quickly covered up his mouth.

      - Powers back? - Sam raised an eyebrow, curious about what Frank might imply with that statement.

      Sadie had naturally kept her personal problems with her Altered form a secret from everyone but Frank. Even the medical team had merely checked her for any injuries following that bite.

      If they found out she was missing her powers, she would have been taken off the field for a while until they found out the cause or reason, and she didn't want that to happen. It would have push off her already unlikely promotion into the far future.

      - Speaking of the AFC fighter. - Sadie swiftly changed the subject.

      - What about the coach? Surely we should consider the possibility of him being involved. In fact, he might even be the one to have given him whatever substance he took as a failsafe measure so he can impress the judges during his debut.

      Sam began typing on his computer, pulling up the reports.

      - Says here that after the blood tests confirmed a foreign substance in Haze's bloodstream, they went to speak to the coach… who was nowhere to be found. The Bruiser Academy has no idea where he is, at least that's what they claim, but so does everyone else he has any connection to. It seems he has just gone missing.

      - Well, it's quite obvious that someone doesn't want us to find out about anything. - Frank remarked, frustration evident in his voice.

      - Were it me, I would have just taken in the coach right then and there.

      - And that's why it's good that you aren't in charge. - A voice echoed from the doorway.

      Entering was their orange- bearded leader with his iconic wolf-like haircut.

      - Even if he was involved, he would only be the one to get the stuff, and he would be unlikely to spill anything that could help us find the true culprit.

      - Initially, we had him under watch, well, the police did. The idea was to track him to his source. Unfortunately, they managed to lose track of him. If I were to guess, he's most likely dead.

      - Which means our only lead now is Haze. Sadie, Frank, I want you two to come with me to interrogation. We're going to get something out of this guy.

      Both of them stood up straight from their seats, ready to go.

      - Yes, sir!
