Eventually, Gary reached Cipen. The district was filled with paved walkways, nice restaurants, and all types of shops selling everything from general appliances, over fancy clothes, to the latest generations of electronic gimmicks. On top of that, there were some of the top hotels and apartments in the area.Following the directions on his phone, the teenager finally reached what looked like the outside of a hotel lobby. ‘This place looks like a castle compared to our old place. At the start of the year I would have never thought to live in a place like this, much less to own it. Well, I guess it's not completely right to say ‘we’ are living in a place like this since, seeing as I haven't actually been inside yet.’ Gary thought. A man opened the door for him, and bowed, welcoming him inside.“Welcome…Sir.” The man greeted Gary once he raised his head. There was some slight hesitation in his voice for some reason. Unsure whether he had the right place or not, the teenager continued t
The smell of chemicals, disinfectant, cleaning supplies and more was entering Gary's nose, and on top of that, there was one that his Werewolf self had come to know quite well, blood. Despite this being a nicer hospital compared to the others, they all had the same smell in the end, and ever since that day, the day when he and Amy were standing outside waiting for the result of what had happened to his mother, Gary hated coming to the hospital no matter what reason it was for.“She looks so peaceful since you moved her here,” Amy said as she rubbed her mother's hand on the bed.Surprisingly, or not at this rate, Gary had his mother in a private room. In one of the best hospitals in Slough. Despite all of that, seeing his mother lying there, hooked up to a bunch of needles, bags and machinery all around her, none of it made him feel good, and he knew Amy’s words were just to make him feel better.Sitting down in a chair by the bed, Gary reached out to hold her hand along with Amy. He
Everyone in the room had already watched the video that Kai was currently playing. Since they lived in Slough, they were updated with the latest, and on top of that, Kai always hammered into them that it was important to stay on top of current news. They couldn't always rely on their informants and so on for the latest news, and this video in particular that Kai was now showing had been seen by everyone. “What… someone was filming all of that!” Gary said as he grabbed the phone out of Kai’s hand. It showed him, a green haired teeneager from behind, quickly dealing with a few of the Howlers members, and after that even giving direct orders to Innu who was behind the mask. “This is partly my fault.” Innu admitted as he sulked and sat back down on the sofa. “I should have checked to see if anyone had filmed anything, but I was just so focused on punishing those guys, and so surprised to see you return.”The video in question had been filmed by one of the shop owners, and it showed Ga
Scratching his head so hard, Gary feared that he might go bald in a certain spot, but he knew due to the system message that as long as he had energy the system would revert him back to his original form. That was one of the reasons why he was unable to change his green hair that he had dyed. Which made him think, if he had kids, would their hair colour be strange as well, or maybe his normal genes would pass on, and his kids would wonder if he was really their dad due to the strange hair colour he had and they didn’t. “Gary, will you pay attention and stop daydreaming this is important!'' Kai shouted as he tapped a large white board several times. After meeting up with the others in the Wolf’s Pool Club, Gary and Kai had left as they needed to make special preparations for tomorrow. What Gary didn't realise was it was almost a trip back to school for him. There was a desk, a notepad, and a pencil. Sitting at the desk, and directly opposite to him was Kai, up against a whiteboard.
Entering the hotel, some bolder people followed behind in an attempt to make more photos. However, the hotel staff’s security quickly intervened and asked those people to move out. A young bell boy quickly approached the group and asked if he needed to take care of any luggage. Following behind him was a middle-aged man in a white shirt with a name tag that made him out to be the manager.“Thank you for choosing to have your event at our establishment, um….” The manager looked at all of those in the masks, trying to discern who exactly he should be addressing. Realising the issue, Kai pressed his hands on Gary's shoulders and lightly pushed him forward.“This is our leader.” Kai clarified. “Thank you so much for choosing us, sir.” The manager repeated as he bowed down respectfully. “If there is anything that we can do to make your visit here more enjoyable, please let me know. I will make sure that any and all of your requests will be fulfilled in a moment’s notice. Please don’t hesi
On the car ride back, everyone was quiet. No one asked about what had occurred in the meeting, and it was all because of the energy that was being given off by Gary. One could tell that Gary still had his hands clenched, annoyed at what had occurred, still blaming himself for what happened. In the end, Gary finally spoke. “I’m sorry, guys. As Mr Cardenez said, I guess I'm not really fit to be that type of leader. I don’t know many things when it comes to business and such, and I know I make ridiculous requests that might make it harder for the gang to operate. “But I guess, I can only really be me in the end, and if someone doesn’t like it, I guess that's just it. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm sorry that you guys have to put up with a leader like this.”Immediately, everyone started to speak out at once, arguing against what Gary said, about to say he was a great leader but because they all said words at once, Gary couldn’t even follow what any of them were saying, so i
As someone who had battled against real beasts, the teenager would dare to claim that the journey towards Notsburg was far more nerve wrecking to him than the AFA’s special lesson. One could argue that this was because he was on his own now, but given that his teammates had been Apollo, who Numba hadn’t had any sort of prior relationship with, and Sty, who would be the last person the Goat Altered would ever entrust his back to, things weren’t that different in the limo that he shared with his adoptive father and the two bodyguards.Ever since that first special lesson, Numba had spent a lot of his free time training. He didn’t know if their teams would stay the way they were, but Mr. Corvus had hinted at the possibility that they might eventually go up against beast on their own, if they wished to do so of course.Having to take care of a business, on the other hand, was an entirely different type of fighting. No matter how excellent the the tutors Harry Cardenez had hired to teach N
Numba didn’t really know what he should do in this meeting, his eyes darted between his father, the gang leader, and his bodyguard. Despite the wild attitude of their host, his swinging arms and creepy smile, Harry Cardenez didn’t budge an inch, his facial expressions not changing in the slightest. He kept his hands together, clearly unfazed by the gang in front of them.“The Scatterbugs have ruled Notsburg for generations, a truly impressive feat. As a gang this means one of two things, you’ve either managed to earn the respect of most Tier-1 gangs to the point they don’t dare to mess with you by yourself, or you’re under the protections of one of the Kings. “Now, from what I managed to find out, there is no affiliating to any of the Kings, meaning your gang has actually managed to solidify its position on its own. I hope that putting my business here won’t change that.” Harry began. On the table in front of him, the man pulled out a name plate that was hidden behind a few items an
