White Rose was a global organization with departments operating in various countries, collaborating closely with local police forces and governments. Recognizing their expertise in dealing with Altered cases, the United Nations had granted them special privileges. Privileges that only they had above the police force.Initially, the first Altered that appeared were primarily involved in sports events and similar events. Due to the extravagant costs involved in the process, the number of Altered had been very limited in that era. However, over time, Altered solutions became a lot more accessible, be it legally through big companies selling them, or illegally through the black market.When this occured, this was when the first problems started to appear.Consequently, every country began to face significant challenges, with local governments losing control of the streets to criminal gangs. This problem persisted in many areas despite attempts to recruit Altered individuals into the poli

Kanu, Sadie, and Frank strolled down the hallway together, a rare invitation from the Captain for an assignment. Intrigued, Sadie couldn't resist asking the question that was on her mind."Sir, how come you chose us to accompany you? Neither me nor Frank mind, but the two of us just returned," she inquired.When Kanu was assigned a task, he had his preferred individuals whom he would select. The reasons behind his choices were shrouded in mystery, and people simply assumed it was because they were the strongest in the squad. Since squad members didn't compete against one another, there was no definitive way to assess that."Here I thought you would be delighted at the opportunity to seize some credit," Captain Kanu replied with an amused tone, before getting more serious. “My gut is telling me that this case might have some connection to the one you were assigned to back in Slough. The incident was captured on video and circulated widely on the internet."I’m not sure if you’ve watche

Since entering the room, Sadie had been keeping an eye on the other White Rose agent. His actions seemed a little too strange and annoying, but truthfully, she didn't think much of it.She just kept her eye on him because his actions were bothering her. As it turned out, her vigilant behaviour led her to realize that her fellow agent had transformed his hand."Traitor!" Sadie exclaimed urgently, as there was no time to waste. At that moment, the White Rose agent abandoned his position by the window and made a beeline towards Haze, a long stringer protruding from his finger. It seemed he disregarded everything else, fixated solely on impaling Haze's head.Haze's eyes widened in terror as he could see his life flash before his eyes. Despite being a trained fighter and the attack being quite obvious, his current condition made it impossible for him to move out of the way.The stinger approached the side of his temple, but before it reached, a hand swung down, breaking it off."You’re an

Hearing his name being called out, Jayden gave a glance at the White Rose agent and then went back to looking at the grave as he had done before. His hands were slightly wet from having just placed down the flowers in his hands.Kanu had walked up to the same gravestone and looked at it for a while. He closed his eyes for a few seconds before kneeling and placing his own flowers that he had brought in front of the grave.After wiping his hands on his uniform, he went into his inner jacket and pulled out a cigarette, and started to light it."You're still smoking those?" Jayden said. "You know those are bad for you.""They're bad for humans." Kanu let out a large puff of smoke, and a smile appeared on his face. "For us Altered, they do next to nothing. Our bodies will repair any damage these things can do. Unlike you, I don't have to keep up a clean image."A light chuckle came out from Jayden. "Could anyone imagine a White Rose agent saying that?" Jayden replied. "What are you doing h

The two continued to aimlessly walk around the city, heading towards one of the factories on the street. What they didn't know was that someone had spotted the two strangers a while ago.Sitting opposite the bus stop, in a black t-shirt and jeans, was a young middle-aged man named Elijah. He brushed his hair to the side, making sure it was intact, before grabbing his pencil and continuing to write notes.It was his regular spot since he had entered the city, and he had been jotting down notes on many people who walked past. But these two caught his eye. For one, Austin was a large individual, with a strong build and a good set of muscles.Then there was the green-haired kid he could see. He couldn't see the mask, but based on their clothes, he assumed they were young, with an athletic build. But it wasn't that which stood out to him.It was the fact that they were walking through the streets so comfortably. They looked quite out of place."They should watch their back... In a place li
