There was blood dripping down Gary’s sides, down his midsection, and his arm was still cut, albeit slowly healing away. Comparing the two Werewolves' bodies, no one would think Gary was winning this fight. In fact, ever since it began, there wasn’t a real moment where it seemed as if the Alpha had been winning. Nevertheless, right now Gary was the one standing, while Midwak was the one that was on one knee. “I have seen many resilient Werewolves, but you… you’re like freaking zombie!” Midwak shouted in annoyance as he jumped from his position and tried to strike Gary’s head. Lifting both of his arms, he took the blow, defending his head, while lifting his leg up and kicking Midwak right in the stomach once again. ‘With Last Stand at Lv. 2, I have 1 minute 30 seconds to turn the tide, I’ll just have to make sure to make the most of this time!’ Gary thought to himself. Gary charged in, ignoring Midwak’s counter, as the Omega swung his arm towards his bad side once more. The Aloha sw
Several blinks, pinches and deep breaths were let out, from everyone who stood at the side, because they could now tell that the fight was over, but it was hard for them all to believe. Every step of the way, every second during the fight, they felt like their fight could have come to an end. “Gary, he really won the fight against that monster.” Ian said out loud.“Honestly, Gary is pretty amazing, I…don’t even understand what happened, his body, how was it even able to heal at that speed? It was almost like he got a second wind.” Numba said. The members of the Howlers, although surprised, didn't have too many questions, because they knew that Gary wasn’t an Altered, but this mystical thing called a Werewolf and they understood very little when it came to the subject surrounding that. “That’s just how our boss is.” Innu said, looking at his back starting to shrink. Gary was reverting to his human form as well, conserving his energy but he still had plenty to turn back into a Werewo
Kai knew quite a bit about Werewolves from his own research and from what Gary had informed him, but he didn’t know that the Werewolves themselves were a lot more complicated than what could be read in the books.A lot of what the system had informed Gary about, with the chess-like ranking system and the pack rules that could be changed, it was hard to explain with things like a simple system. There were times when Gary thought these things were unique to him, but judging by Midwak’s reaction, that didn’t seem to be the case at all. The rules of the Werewolves seemed to be more widespread than he believed, because it was clear Midwak knew why Gary was unable to invite him into his pack. ‘I’m a Bishop, while Midwak is classified as a Rook. According to the system. An Alpha is unable to force those that are higher Grade than them into the Pack. If that’s the case, even if I changed the Pack rules to make it so Midwak would be uncontrollable, it would be impossible.’ The Pack rules, t
A lot of work needed to be done in the casino, and the first call of action was to make everyone aware that the leader of the Scatterbugs was no more. It was fairly easy to do, especially since the Cardenez group, along with the Freaks, had already dealt with most of those inside the casino.Some members of the Howlers went downstairs and made the announcement, while showing quite a bit of proof, as there were some of the rings being held up on display that only Slith ever wore on his hands. This had disheartened the people, but even more so, the news would spread out to the entire city. It would take a while though, as there was no easy way for the customers or the gang members to leave the place. There were a few emergency boats that could be used to transfer the customers back to the mainland, and for now, the Cardenez group were helping with that, as had been ordered by the Howlers.Kai knew there was a lot of work to be done, and it needed to be done quickly as well. There were
The Howlers were all waiting for Midwak to answer, as they were quite interested in Gary’s past. Why was he a Werewolf, where did they even come from? Although the teenager had confided in them, he too lacked the answers to many questions about his new being. He knew he wasn’t fully human anymore, but neither was he truly an Altered nor a beast.In the first place, they weren’t even sure if Midwak would answer their questions. He had no reason to help him, so Kai had offered him access something to eat, sure that this was something the Omega Werewolf would desperately crave.They had chopped up the body of one of those who had died during the initial ambush. They weren’t about to risk him regaining too much Energy, so they used a human, rather than one of the Altereds’ flesh. None of them really wanted to disrespect the dead further, but Kai justified these actions by choosing to believe that it was more important to care about his living friends. “Do you think food would really temp
After Gary had turned Kai into a Werewolf, the blonde teenager had spent his limited free time doing extensive research on the type of creature he had become. Unfortunately, given that barely any people believed in their existence, his main source of information had come from reading old myths and legends. Speaking from his own experience, he had to admit that most of them were unreliable to the truth of the matter. For example, he had felt nothing upon touching silver. After exhausting the sources he could find, Kai had started to read the only other type of media that entailed Werewolves… fantasy novels. With those, Kai had the opposite problem, there were far more than he could read in his lifetime, though he had encountered some useful pieces of information. He wasn’t sure if any of the authors had ever met a Werewolf, or those cases had just been lucky coincidences. In any case, one of the similarities most of those fantasy novels shared was there was one type of creature that
A change in leadership of such a magnitude was naturally impossible to keep under wraps. Information was being passed around among the local gangs who continued to spread the tale far and wide.Over the span of a couple of days, everyone in the underworld was aware that the Howlers had taken over the Scatterbugs. A Tier-3 gang from practically a no-name time had managed to expand into a Tier-2 city in under a day. Such a thing was thought to be impossible, and were it not for all sources reporting the same, it would be even more unbelievable given that the Scatterbugs strength and influence had been rumoured to be on par with some of the Tier-1 gangs.Given that it was impossible to hide the truth for long, Kai had expected some faction to challenge them, yet not a single one, not even from a Tier-1 city, had come forward. Rather, from what Kai had gathered through his information channels, the price for any type of information about the Howlers had become a hot commodity. ——The new
All aspects and groups of the Howlers were extremely busy. Those from the Scatterbugs were getting used to the new rules, and how their new leader intended to run things. Of course, if there were any disagreements, Midwak had permission to use violence. However, that violence was limited due to the Pack rules that were currently in place. On top of that, there was also the Cardenez group. No longer under any threat they could continue with their development plan. A new factory was being built, not just in Slough to help with jobs and general levelling up of Slough, but one also was built in Notsburg as well. The progression was beyond what Harry had thought he would have been able to do with one factory, and this was all because Kai was giving more funding to the Cardenez group than they would have ever got out of either deal, and that was from using the money from the Scatterbugs in the first place. All of this was important to Kai, because unlike other groups who would have perha
