“Your relationship is really interesting, really interesting with Jayden, and maybe he feels close to you because your relationships are closer than you expect,” Kanu said as he leaned into Gary.“Some people might think that it’s not my place to talk about this, to tell you his past when he decided not to tell you, but f*ck them,” Kanu said. “Because this has a lot to do with me as well, so it’s my choice to tell you, and there’s another reason.”“I want you to listen to this, Gary. I want you to listen to this well,” Kanu said as he stared deep into Gary’s eyes. The sincerity in his voice could be heard.“The reason I decided to call you and tell you what I’m about to tell you today is because I think you’re the only person who might be able to drag him out of the pit that he put himself into because I sure as hell couldn’t,” Kanu said.Gary braced himself. He was reminded of what Jayden said on the roof that day, a special meeting with him after their special lesson at the AFA.Tel

Still sitting at the coffee shop in Centerfield, both Austin and Kai were waiting for Gary to decide what to do. They watched carefully, noting every detail of his body language, ready for his response.“I don’t think we should get involved,” Gary said.“Yeah, that’s it!” Austin cheered, pumping his fist. “I’m ready to fight whenever you ask, going up against one of the kings. We did it before, and we can do it again. Then we can become the King slayers… wait, what did you say?” Austin asked, realizing the words that had come out of Gary’s mouth.“Look, I’m not saying we won’t definitely help, and especially if Jayden asked me directly for help, I would jump in a heartbeat. But we have to analyze and get a bigger picture of the whole situation.”“When I think about this more, I have to consider it from Jayden’s point of view. There has to be a reason why he didn’t ask anyone and is going at this alone.”“Not just that, I can’t imagine how much he must have already gone through to reac

The group had decided to have a nice evening meal just before leaving Centerfield. It was a time for them to relax and explore a new place a little. On top of that, Kai had suggested it, feeling it was safer for them compared to other areas. Being in the open public in a place like Centerfield, the gangs would surely be less likely to act.“So, we were attacked by a gang. What for?” Gary asked, as he finished his third serving of steak and went ahead to order a fourth one. Gone were the days where Gary had to worry about food anymore. He was eating plentifully to keep his energy up day by day.The thing was, it wasn’t just Gary who was a big eater. Austin, being a large guy, and Kai, being a werewolf himself, were the same.“That I’m still not sure about. I didn’t exactly get much information out of them. I doubt it’s a random occurrence, but at the same time, I feel like if they knew who we were, they wouldn’t have sent such weak members out to get us. Which is why I’m a bit stumped

“One of the Kings, one of the Kings, one of the Kings.” The phrase Sir Ken repeated to himself several times because it was unbelievable to him.The situation just didn’t make sense. Many people may have considered Sir Ken a fool, but he would never have been foolish enough to offend one of the Kings.They held the most power in the country, and one of the leading countries in Altered development, practically making the Kings the strongest people in the world.Everyone knew never to upset the Kings, which was why such a title was referred to them in the first place—a title that referred to the royalty of the past, who could do as they wished and whose word was law to the rest.It was why it was so hard for him to believe the situation. Why would one of the Kings be visiting Centerfield? In many people's eyes, the White Rose were against everything the Kings stood for.Even if they were to travel, why would they do so on a public train, and why would someone strong enough to be conside

“Raven, that’s not a name I’ve heard before,” Harvor said.Raven stood there respectfully; after all, he was in enemy territory, but there was an odd sense of calmness when Raven looked at Harvor.It wasn’t like when he had met Sin for the first time. Sin felt like a person whose presence he couldn’t even stand to be in front of, while with Harvor, there was this calmness to him.An aura of a star that anyone was able to approach.“I was a member of the Phoenix Gang, and I’m sure you are aware of what happened to them,” Raven stated.“Ah yes, Sin. He certainly did always keep things exciting among the Kings. I liked having him around because he showed what the Kings were capable of. It’s a shame he’s gone now,” Harvor said. “You state that you are here to inform me about the Howlers. Does that mean you are here for revenge?”Raven was stumped for a moment. He had several plans for how to approach Harvor, one of the Kings, but depending on how he was, it would dictate how Raven would a
