My Werewolf System

Chapter 852 Aiming For The Throne

Standing on the edge of the Cipen border on a hotel roof, Sin held his arms in the air. He was allowing the wind to drag through his clothing behind him. He took in a deep breath through his nostrils and then out of his mouth.

“Don’t you smell it, that ashy, mucky smell. This city is burning,” Sin stated. “The city won’t last much longer, at most all of this will be done by tomorrow.”

Certain areas of the city had completely burned down with nothing left to burn. A lot of the large structures had been destroyed. It was clear that what was built up; nearly all of it was gone.

If someone was to pay the city a visit in the state it was in now, they would assume it was a tier 4 city. No one would be able to guess how prosperous it was.

“I thought you would have wanted to take this city for yourself,” Greed said with his bulky muscular arms folded. “The reason the Howlers were able to grow so quickly was because of their hands in so many successful businesses.”

Sin turned around and smiled, looking at his fellow gang member.

“Your greed never ceases to amaze me. That’s why I gave you your nickname Greed. You see, money is a concept that was created by the governments as a way to control the people.”

“Even then, the way the money is funneled up, it’s all about a sense of control, a sense of freedom, but you should know that it means nothing in the grand scheme of things, that it’s just something made of paper.”

“What we have is power. We take what we want, and we do what we want otherwise; they will have to face the consequences. We don’t need to pay anyone anything; they will simply do as they are told because we said so.”

“The bounties, if we don’t pay it, the underground market, what is going to happen then? Do you think they will come after us? Of course not, because no one wants to touch us. You know why? Because we are one of the Kings!” Sin shouted this almost with his arms raised up.

“I also wanted to ask something about that as well. You didn’t have to get involved, did you, in something like this?” Garbo stated. “Couldn’t you have dealt with it, not so personally? If you did, then it would show our power.”

Sin shook his head several times.

“No, that isn’t enough; I couldn’t leave this to you guys. This city has a personal grudge against me. The Underdogs that were here before, they messed things up for me. Now, we have that damned Lupus Gang on our back.”

“I needed to make sure this job is done right, and we need to make sure an incident like this never happens again. We won’t take over this city, but we will destroy it completely and everyone linked to them, that way, something like this won’t happen again.”

The two commanders of the Phoenix Gang looked at each other and smiled.

“Well, at least it gives us a chance to fight; it has been a while. I hope that the gang doesn’t fall over too easily with Glutton being involved,” Greed commented.

“I guess that depends on how well the newcomers do then, right?” Garbo asked.

“Right, the newcomers,” Greed said, rubbing his chin. “I haven’t really been able to test their strength myself or seen the full extent of it, but the two missions you sent them on, they seemed to do well.”

“Why did you send them off on their own like that; do you think they can take on a tier 2 city all on their own?”

Sin was observing the situation and looking at his phone constantly. He seemed to be getting updates from the gang members. A team that wasn’t to take part in fights but just update him on the situation that was unfolding.

After looking at the messages, Sin had a few words to say.

“The two new guys, they are an interesting variable. Both of them have been injected with Mythical type serums, but you know that they’re not like us.”

The two of them raised an eyebrow; they didn’t quite understand what Sin meant.

“The two of them are a ticking time bomb. The serums that we stole from NIRV, they were infected Serums, they may seem fine now, but who knows what’s going to happen.”

“Besides, the two of them have a personal history with this city. I’m counting on that, and even if they do lose their fights, I’m planning for the two bombs to go off, finishing this city off.”

“Then, when I’m done with them, I’ll deal with Lupus as well.”

This is why many had chosen to follow Sin. Because they were drawn to his ambitions. Even though he was already a King, the strongest, he wanted to be the only one to sit at the top of that throne.

He didn’t want to share it with others, and they wanted to be there with him when he had done so. To them, this whole thing, it felt a bit like a side quest to them.

“I am surprised though,” Sin said looking at his phone. “It appears, all of those that have been sent out, they have all run into some trouble. The Howlers are putting up a better fight than I thought.”

“It appears that Glutton is facing the most trouble at the moment. The core members, as the Howlers call them, have arrived and I keep thinking that something else might appear as well.”

“Greed, go help Glutton and deal with this mess. You have till midnight today to solve everything. If not, then I will deal with everything myself,” Sin claimed.
