A wide range of people had gathered in the streets. It was as if a giant parade was taking place in the city, but it wasn’t a celebration of a grand event that had occurred over the years. Everyone had gathered for one individual, Gary Dem.Looking among the faces, Gary couldn’t even recognize them all—the faces of those he passed every day. These were the people that supported him, these were the people that cheered for him, yet he knew nothing about them, and they took the time out of their lives to see him off.'It's like a fantasy... am I even living in the real world right now?' Gary thought, as he was practically getting dragged away by Kai and the others.This was something that maybe every child dreamed of one day—entering the AFC and having overwhelming support—and he had achieved it as a byproduct of another goal in his mind. Just for a moment, he wanted to cherish the crowd in front of him.He finally moved and was about to enter the car when he heard a bystander shouting w

The constant attacks from outside of the vehicles continued, and they were all aimed toward Kai. Just like before, with his fast speed in his full wolf form, he was able to keep up with the cars' speed.His agile body allowed him to even dodge all of the attacks that came his way, but just like before, an overwhelming number was being coordinated his way. But once again, the loud sound of the whip, through the shockwaves alone, would break the course of all the weapons and cause them to drop on the floor."Did you think trying that again a second time would work?" Olivia said with a smile. "I know most gang members don't do that well in school, but this is kind of ridiculous!" As she said these words, she moved her whip above her head like a lasso before throwing it out again.The side of the whip had hit one of the cars and crushed part of the door. The impact was so great it was like a car had hit it, causing the vehicle to swerve and veer off to the side, crashing into one of the b

Gary had partly transformed his body. His forearms had partial fur sticking out of them, his teeth had elongated, and he had given up on wearing his shoes, transforming his feet and digging them into the ground as he continued to rush forward.While running at this speed, whoever got in his way was easy for Gary to handle. He could see that there were other roadblocks up ahead that had been prepared, and instead of going forward or using his energy in a fight, he had just jumped off the highway and landed on one of the roads below.He continued to run down, and then leapt across, reaching another road and digging his claws in, pulling himself up. They were small detours, but it hardly slowed him down with the way he was progressing.If anything, the thought of those that were still fighting, and those that left him behind, had spurred him on, and eventually he had passed the sign welcoming him into the city.He pushed forward until he had come off the highway, and the high-rise buildi

Although it was only midday, the car park to the grand large arena was already filling up. Reporters, news agencies, livestreamers, and more all got their chance to enter the place first.They were able to ask questions to the organizers about who they thought was going to win the match, while also getting a few sneak peeks behind the scenes of the arena as well as other programs.After all, it wasn’t just them that were in the arena. There were also past AFC fighters that had retired who were all talking about the event that was to take place.In the arena, up in a glass booth, an interview that was going out on a program was showing."Vicello, you were once Rank 1 in the AFC. You had climbed the ranks, and then after a loss to Harvor you ended up retiring."Many wished for you to come back stronger hoping to fight him again, but that never happened. So I need to ask, why did you never challenge Harvor again, and what do you think of Gary Dem’s chances?"A man sat in a suit that was

An hour had passed since Gary had arrived, and although he had been busy going through things with production and then meeting Daphne, there was a constant thought in the back of his mind: Where were the others?Even if held up, the journey would take two hours, say three hours max. Sure, Gary had gotten to the arena faster than a typical car due to the shortcuts he could take himself, but he would expect Kai to arrive in the next hour or so unless there were other problems.'Altered fighters can last a long time; they have a large amount of energy as well. It’s not a simple five-minute fight or so like people have on the street, but all of those thoughts just worry me more.'"Shake off those thoughts, you were already distracted before all of this and we knew there was a chance of this happening," Daphne said. "You need to focus on him, the main event, especially if you want to save everyone."Taking a deep breath, Gary started to focus, and with his focus he could hear the sounds co
