My Werewolf System

Chapter 764 Help Jayden?

It was unexpected words that had come out from Xinʼs mouth for Gary honestly. For one, Jayden always seemed like this powerful figure who was above him, almost like a teacher. It was hard to imagine him having any type of trouble.

But, since Xin was concerned, he wanted to hear her out, more so than that, he would have been willing to help Jayden out as well if he asked for it.

”Whatʼs wrong?” Gary asked. ”Isnʼt everything fine? I saw that he just recently entered the top 25 in the AFC. Hasnʼt he been doing really well?”

Gary had been keeping track of all of his fights. Going from top 50 to top 25 was quite a feat in the AFC, and Jayden had done so by continuously taking on fights.

There was a rule in the AFC, and that was that Altereds werenʼt allowed to use active skills or powers. They were allowed to use anything that their bodies transformed into, but that was it.

This gave a slight advantage to those who were more physically altered and relied on their bodies transforming. Yet, Jayden had gotten out of the rut he was in by using his pure skill and strength by studying and allowing his skills to grow to the next level.

”Thatʼs even more reason as to why Iʼm worried,” Xin said. ”Before, Jayden always used to have a happy face, even when fighting. There were at times when I would catch him looking down now and again... but I never knew the reason why.”

”When I see him fight on the screen now, itʼs almost scary. I tried to get in contact with Jayden as well, but heʼs not replying to me.”

Gary wondered why Jayden would do such a thing. He seemed to care about his sister dearly, and he would know that not getting in contact with Xin would worry her. The only thing Gary could think about was the last time he had met with Jayden.

ʼIt was after that special lesson, where we all had to go up against him,ʼ Gary smiled to himself but looked down so Xin didnʼt think he was smiling at the situation. ʼHe then visited me on the rooftop, back then it felt like he wanted to tell me something, but he just couldnʼt.ʼ

ʼI wonder what it was that he wanted to tell me. He said he would do so when I was strong enough? Am I strong enough to help him now.ʼ

In the year that had gone past, Gary hadnʼt leveled up much. There werenʼt many opportunities where Gary could gain exp. At the same time, he didnʼt have many quests that would appear either. Just like in games, the higher Garyʼs level, the harder it was to level up due to the exp.

He still did his best to try to find opportunities when he could, which was why he had even increased in strength by this much. What was more apparent was his skills that he had gained, which had leveled up. He still had no idea what the cap a skill level could get to, but with each level up the effects of the skills improved greatly.

Skills could be upgraded via pawn points, or it seemed like repeated use of a skill or a quest could also upgrade them. Since they could be upgraded from repeated use, it was hard for Gary to commit any pawn points to upgrading the skills, but he knew how valuable they were.

”Do you think there is a reason behind his strange actions?” Gary asked.

Xin shook her head. ”I donʼt know much, but honestly, I was thinking that maybe my dad would know something. I was too young at the time, but there was a change around my brother at some point. He acted differently for an entire year. I donʼt know why, and my father wonʼt tell me, but with your position, maybe you could find something out or try to contact him through other means.”

It was worth a shot, and in Garyʼs mind, it was worth it if he could ease Xinʼs worry even for a bit.

”Iʼll try my best, but I canʼt make any promises. I will update you when I can; it will be easy to get in contact with you if youʼre one we sponsor.” Gary winked.

Hearing this, Xin couldnʼt help but chuckle. ”Since when were you such a good salesman? I will sign the contract. Iʼll be staying at the Mar Hotel while Iʼm here; you have my number, so get in touch when you need me.”

Gary now had a task set out to do, and with everything being so peaceful, he didnʼt mind looking into it. Little did he know, at that moment, on the same day, something big was starting to go on in the city of Notsburg.

Bursting through the large red doors of the casino, a large man stood there with a red hood over his head.

”Hey, what are you doing making a commotion like that?” One of the gang members who worked as bodyguards at the casino said. He went towards the strange man to apprehend him. As he did, the intruder grabbed his arm and twisted it.

Then, with his other arm free, he slammed it down, breaking it on the spot and kicking him away.

Immediately, all of the guests were on high alert, and so were the other guards who had surrounded the individual.

”This has been a long time coming,” the intruder said, his large smile and teeth visible just under his hood. ”Itʼs time to get rid of the Howlers!”
