My Werewolf System

Chapter 542 9:00 AM

In the future this would be remembered as a very important day for the gang known as the Howlers.

Thanks to Kaiʼs gang tiered system, it was relatively easy to pass on the message. All Olivia, Innu, Austin, and Marie had to do was inform the people directly below them who would do the same until the entire gang knew what had happened and what Gary intended to do about it.

”Taking on an entire Tier-2 City… and not just any but Notsburg and their Scatterbugs… I have heard that our leader was apparently reckless but to this degree? I heard those guys are strong enough that some Tier-1 gangs come to THEM to ask for help.”

”I feel you, man. Iʼve seen for myself that our masked bosses are strong, but can we really do this? Weʼre just a Tier-3 gang. If our boss wants to expand, shouldnʼt we try and go against lower tier places first…this is a big jump?”

”Didnʼt you get the same message as the rest of us? We donʼt have to come, only those that are interested in taking part. It seems like this is a personal grudge. According to my superior, they took out ʼFoxʼ yesterday, so the boss wants revenge.”

”Iʼm glad that I wonʼt get into trouble for not coming then. Still, if theyʼre powerful enough to take him out, doesnʼt that mean that the Scatterbugs have the power to take out our core members in our own territory? If thatʼs the case though and only the core members go out, wonʼt they 100% lose this fight? In that case, what happens to the Howlers?”

”My guess is that someone else will take over. Anyway, Iʼm out. No matter how much theyʼre willing to pay for me to come, thereʼs no point in joining a losing fight. I still need to be alive to be able to spend it.”

Conversations like these were happening all over Slough. Naturally, news didnʼt just spread to those in the Howlers, though, it also spread to important figures behind the scenes in Slough. Among them were the leaders of gangs who had been suppressed, and of course a particular mayor who sat in his office.

ʼHahaha, finally things are looking up! If I had known that those bastards would find themselves such a powerful enemy I would have waited by the side and enjoyed the show!ʼ Ben heartily laughed in his office. ʼThis is perfect, the Howlers will fail, and the Scatterbugs will see that there isnʼt much for them to gain in Slough. They will leave, and the town will be back in my hands again.ʼ

——

Outside the Wolfʼs Pool Club, at 8:55 AM, Gary was sitting on the few steps that used to lead up to the door. The club was still destroyed behind him. After all, given how late it was when the fight broke out, nobody had reported that the place needed repairs.

Sitting down on that staircase, Gary was busy putting together some pieces like a puzzle. As the first one to arrive, he had spent his time looking around for salvageable things in the pool club. There wasnʼt much to find as the intruder had done a horrific job making sure that their establishment would be out for business for a while. However, one thing that he had found was the smashed fox mask, and with nothing better to do, he had made sure to find as many pieces as possible.

ʼThere that should be most of them. Just looking at your mask, I can practically picture you wearing it, Kai, berating me for doing something stupid and reckless again. Well, I canʼt argue that it will be reckless, but as I recall Iʼm not the only in our gang to do reckless things.ʼ

Gary grinned as he as he thought back to how Kai had let himself get captured, on the off chance that he would get put into the same cell as him. Whatʼs more when he found out that Gary was unable to do much about his situation, Kai had forced Gary to turn him by nearly sacrificing his own hand.

ʼYou got us out of that situation back then, so by the time you wake up, Iʼll do what I can to have our situation with them resolved. Once that is done, Iʼll return your mask, and if you want, you can still berate me afterwards.ʼ

Eventually Gary saw a car drive towards the pool clubʼs venue. It was the usual limo that the Howlers used driving to certain places. The door opened and Tyler stepped out, and opened the door for Olivia, Innu, Austin, and Marie, each one of them wearing their masks. Gary noticed that Austinʼs mask was different to what Gary had remembered before. Now it had what looked like a bull with a ring hanging from its nose covering his mouth slightly, and also Oliviaʼs was slightly different, looking more like that of a wolf, although it didnʼt look the same as Garyʼs, as there was indented eyelashes.

”It was a gift from Kai, I thought it was only appropriate.” Austin explained.

Gary smiled and put the fragments of Kaiʼs mask into his pocket, before he put on his own mask.

? ”Gary.” Marie spoke. ”Iʼll be honest, weʼre most likely going to be the only ones. Everyone knows that weʼre going against the Scatterbugs and since you told us to write that this was a personal vendetta, even our lieutenants are unwilling to come. #”

Gary had been afraid that this might be the case, but as a gang leader responsible for the lives of his gang members, he had felt that it was only right to let them decide for themselves. Just when he was about to stand up and get into the car, the Howlers turned around towards the footsteps making their way over.

”A smaller, stronger team might be better, anyway.” Ian greeted them with confidence

”Before you even try to say that we are not allowed to come with you, let me remind you about what you said before, we are in an alliance and thatʼs what these alliances are for in the first place!” Numba stated. ”Besides Gary, youʼre a friend, and a good one. You would do the same for me, in fact you already have done, so I have to do the same for you.”

Gary couldnʼt argue with those words, and having three more Altered by their side boosted their strength considerably.

”We also made a deal once.” Another voice said to his left, turning his head, this one was truly an unexpected person.

”Blake…but why would you… I mean, youʼre a… are you sure you wonʼt get into lots of trouble if you tag along?” Gary asked.

”What do you mean? From what Iʼve seen yesterday, that was the work of an ʼAlteredʼ who came into my town before he fled to Notsburg. In other words, Iʼm just coming along to do whatʼs supposed to be my job, right?”

Gary knew Blakeʼs skill from when the two of them fought against a Werewolf before and he had no doubt that he had continued to hone his skills.

”I… thanks, Iʼll really owe you one for this.” Gary smiled.

Just as it looked like everyone had arrived who was going to arrive, a few more people started to creep in and fill the streets wearing the black and gold uniform. It was a good thing that the core members were wearing their masks at this time.

”We want to help as well!” they shouted. ”Slough…itʼs changed so much since the Howlers took over, and I donʼt want it to go back to the way it was before!”

”I used to be a member of the Underdogs and they treated us like dogs… you saved me… so itʼs only right we follow you!”

It was a surprise, there were at least ten people from the Howlers group that were there, but when Gary looked at them, he made his choice.

”Thank you, you truly have shown your loyalty to the gang and for that you have my gratitude. I wonʼt forget the faces of those that came here today… but I canʼt take you with me, I canʼt have you risk your lives.

”I realise now, this is something that we have to solve, because what the Scatterbugs have done to us… is personal.” Gary said as he walked to the car with the others and they all got in one by one, driving off to Notsburg.

ʼYou thought you could end this fight by taking out one person, well now you have a war on your hands, Scatterbugs.ʼ Gary thought to himself as he looked out the window.
