After his proclamation, Gary closed the door behind him, leaving behind the Howlers and the AFA trio. Numba’s mouth was left wide open, still struggling to comprehend what he had just seen and heard. Before the Goat Altered had come here, his father had informed him that during the initial meeting between the Cardenez group and the Howlers in Slough, Kai had been by the leader's side, a green haired fellow in a wolf mask.Given the fact that the first contact both sides had made had been through the blonde teenager, Harry had shared his assumptions that the guy in the fox mask had to be something like the second in command. An assumption that had only grown stronger, once Kai had brought out all those strong fighters to defend the factories.If what Ian said earlier was true, and Austin, Innu and Mary were indeed the three masked helpers, it had to mean that they were part of the top echelon of the gang as well, yet they had just witnessed that all three of them had referred to Gary

As usual, Tyler was incredibly nervous as he drove the limo with the core members of the Howlers and the AFA students. And yet, despite them heading towards Notsburg, the stronghold of the Scatterbugs, he felt less nervous than during their other trips. The main reason for that was because Gary was travelling with them this time. For some reason, seeing the younger teenager always gave him a feeling of safety, reminding him of the time when Gary had stood up for him in his last job.At the same time, Tyler could see how different the Alpha Werewolf looked now, how much pain and anger was behind that face of his. He wanted to do something to help him, even if it was something as simple as driving him and the others to their destination.During the drive, the group spent the majority of their time silently watching out the window as they were approaching the Tier-2 city. Anyone would think that the whole thing was mad, going along with a small amount of people like that.“Before he was

The casino was thriving as it would have done any other day. There were people who had dressed up to the very best, throwing their money around across the tables with smiles on their faces. At the same time, there were many VIP members who were enjoying their time as they continued to place bet after bet. Some of the guests had come from Tier-1 cities after hearing about the luxury gambling establishment from their friends, deciding to pay Notsburg a visit due to all the good things they heard. There were also many scouts from other gangs among the guests, having come here since they didn’t believe that a Tier-2 gang with no backers could survive on their own. They were there to check out if some other Tier-1 gang was secretly backing the Scatterbugs, and if not finding out what it would take to convince Slith to work with their group.As bets were being made, every member of staff was made aware of something as they all had received messages through their earpieces.“I'm sorry, but

Once again Gary’s words had startled them. Due to the way it was said, it seemed he had said them with conviction. This was truly the last chance he was giving them to leave now and not fight against them. “Shut up!” One of the workers shouted. “Look at how many of us there are and how many of them they have. Remember what the boss said. For each member that is taken out, we will get to keep 10 percent of the profits for one month at this place. You will never have to work or lift a finger in your life if you take these guys out.” The greed seemed to have gotten to them, as all of them started to rush in toward the Howlers group. With his head down, Gary shook it in disappointment. “I gave you one chance. I never wanted to go down this route, but you were the ones that forced me.” Gary left where he was and suddenly appeared right in front of the gang members, one swung his bat down, but had hit nothing but the ground and the next moment his whole head had been grabbed by Gary.

Although the casino was run by a gang, it nevertheless followed the town’s safety regulations, meaning that aside from the one main entrance, it also had multiple emergency exits in case of a fire. In his head, Blake had convinced himself that he was merely using the fight between the Howlers and the Scatterbugs as an opportunity to hunt the Altered who had come into ‘his territory.’ To make it clear that he was in no way associated with the Howlers, the Altered Hunter had chosen against travelling with the others. He had come here via his trusty motorbike and chose to use the confusion the Howler’s entrance created to get further into the building.Wearing the special Altered Hunter mask, Blake had an easier time locating Altered, and it was what brought him to the location he was in. Without hesitation, when he was in the hall of private rooms and could see the Altered in front of him, Blake lifted the motorbike so all the weight was on the back of the well lifting the front end an
