Gary hadn’t had the chance to call or text Kai to come and pick him up. Honestly, his mind was still trying to comprehend everything that had happened with Xin, especially the sudden kiss on his cheek at the very end. He was still rubbing his face to the point that the side had become redder than before.
It would definitely become a memory he would never be able to forget. Unfortunately, it seemed destined to become a melancholic one, since he had no idea when he would even be able to see her the next time. Were they even allowed to keep their phones in the AFC? Were the two of them actually even a couple, or was it best for him to just forget about her and try to move on?
What’s worse, Jayden seemed to ins
Gary didn’t know what to say after Jayden’s accusation. As such, he opted to stay quiet, which in itself was pretty telling to the Altered. Since they seemed to be done with their conversation, Gary quickly texted Kai, who told him that he would pick him up in around ten minutes.It felt like a small eternity as Gary and Jayden were waiting together in an awkward silence.‘How did he find out? The first time we met, I was buck naked… and I didn’t do anything serious during our fight two days ago, did I?’ The Werewolf was racking his brain as to how he was discovered. The two of them had only fought for a brief moment until today. ‘Was it the kick on the arm? He could have avoided that blow… but he too
Inside a dark room where there was very little light, a young teenager was sitting down on his own in a chair. Across from him, there was a floating head in a glass container filled with a green liquid.‘Originally I thought that maybe you would only be gone for a day or two, but you still haven't gotten back.’ Blake thought. The head that he was looking at in front of him was none other than Billy’s. ‘At least the liquid will be able to keep it from rotting for now.’Lately, Blake had been coming down into the Hunter's base a lot. Usually he would only have come down with his father, practising what he needed in the dojo above. However, as the days went past it became apparent that his father wasn't
Tier-4 was the second-lowest tier ranking a place town or city could get. Nearly all jobs in such a place involved some type of manual labour. If one couldn't work that way, there were other means of making a living, including another type of manual labour.The jobs in Tier-4 towns were often dangerous, yet they produced items and more for the higher ranking towns and cities. They were essentially factories for their respective countries and the whole world. As such, there was always a dark, thick smog over those towns.The air was polluted, making the people suffer and it was unfriendly to their bodies just like the people. Just like in all the other cities, there were gangs in this one as well
School these days seemed pretty pointless to Gary. He was listening to teachers’ lectures, but all of it seemed to be going in one ear and out the other. The green haired teenager couldn’t help but ask himself what the point of all of this was.He still had two more years to go until graduation, but could he really continue to live a normal life until then? Or at least keep up this facade? Would his grades now even matter at all, if he were to really transfer to the AFA?Truth be told, the main reason that was keeping the high schooler in Westbridge was that Gary was afraid social services might come to investigate if he would stop coming in. Since not going to school was illegal, it would warrant an invest
Gary didn’t recognise the other man’s voice. From the sound of it, it seemed like it was Tyler’s boss, or perhaps his manager. As he peeked around the corner, he saw a fat and sweaty man who he had never seen here before. Were it not for him wearing the uniform and talking down to Tyler the high schooler would have thought of him as just another customer.“But, Sir, I was only handling the situation according to protocol since his card got declined! Should I have just given him the product?” Tyler argued, while his hands trembled from trying to stay polite. “How can you make me apologise when he nearly assaulted me and even spat in my hair?”“I had cash on me!” The rude customer insisted. “You youngsters ar
Tyler gladly accepted Gary's offer to become a driver. The teenager didn’t even have the chance to go into detail before the university student had already accepted. Whether it was because he trusted Gary or really needed a job, the high schooler wasn’t sure.During the call, Gary had asked Kai about their financial details and if doing something like this was okay. When his upperclassman had asked why he wanted to know, the Werewolf had given him a short version of events. He had heard a sigh, but it was followed by a ‘fine, we can put him on the payroll’.When Tyler asked about the pay, Gary told him that they would pay him the same amount that he had received at the convenience store. All the unive
The drive to the meeting place had taken a while, Gary noticed, which indicated that it was quite a bit out of town. There didn’t look to be any way to get to the location other than by car. No train, no bus went to the area and the teenager could count the amount of cars he had seen go by on both his hands.Their destination was essentially what one would call a country house, only that it really was in the middle of nowhere. It seemed as if someone had randomly decided to plot down the house there.It made Gary wonder when the world had become like this. People lived stacked up on top of each other in apartment buildings. The only jobs available were in the city or towns, and here there were just fi
After speaking to Kai and how Ben Clove was involved in all of this, Gary had expected his involvement to be loosely connected. Perhaps in the same way as he was connected to the Rising Dragon gang. The mayor did seem to have a heavy interest in gangs, and it was the first time he had seen one publicly use one for his bodyguards, but there were stranger things that happened in the world.Now, the fact that he was at this meeting itself meant there was probably more, and at the same time, Gary carefully watched him walk across the room. The large man was confident in his steps, not even caring or worried in front of all these gang leaders. Even if the Rising Dragon gang was on his side, they couldn’t stop all the gangs that were there, telling the teenager that something was definitely up.
