Chapter 934 Rebuilding Slough
The body in the hospital bed was now lifeless. Gary knew this for a fact as his system had given him experience for the kill. Not only that, but he had found out a little more information as well from the system.
When taking care of Altered, Gary at times would receive a quest stating for him to not waste the food in front of him. He would eat Altered in order to grow stronger, just like he had done against Sin.
However, his system had stated that the current Altered was infected, so he was unable to consume the one in front of him. Still, the experience boost was quite nice for him.
“That was a lot of experience, but I still didn’t level up. As I get higher and higher, it’s going to get even harder to grow compared to before.”
“I’ll clear up this place,” Kai said. “You go see your family, make sure they're alright, let me deal with the city.”
Gary was thankful that he had someone like Kai. With him gone from the city, who knew what would have happened to Slough. Kai was certainly a pillar of the Howlers and the entire city, and he had become a pillar for Gary to rely on as well.
“It might be best if Tom has a look at him; it seems he was infected type Altered, like before. It might help him in his research,” Gary claimed.
Walking out from the hospital, before heading to where his mother was, Gary headed to the toilet to wash his hands of the blood. The water turned slightly pink, and when it stopped, he splashed his face a few times and looked at himself right in the mirror.
‘When did killing become this easy?’ Gary thought, thinking back to the deaths at the start of this entire Werewolf business. He didn’t like it; he didn’t like anything he had been through.
Now, it had become second nature and his answer to a lot of the problems, because it was the only solution in this messed-up world. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
When returning to the room with his family, Gary stood at the door looking at his mother and sister. She looked back at him and tilted her head with a soft smile.
“You don’t have to say anything; you did what you had to do,” Maya said. “Why don’t we just start looking toward the future and move on together from this.”
A month had gone past, and the country as well as Slough had changed quite dramatically from the events of the Howlers against the Phoenix gang.
For one, the city was in the restoration phase. A lot of damage was done, but it was mostly external rather than the foundation of the building and the layouts itself.
Streets were to be repaved, cars had to be cleared up, buildings restored back to their structure, and more.
Originally, there were also quite a few people who had decided to leave Slough after the events. The city wasn’t as safe as they thought it would be; however, at the same time equally, there were those that joined.
The restoration of Slough was going quicker than expected. This was thanks to the outside resources and relationship Kai had with the others. On top of that, they were also building up new relationships with the smaller towns that were nearby.
Some of the gangs that had attacked them from nearby cities apologized and donated hefty sums along with manpower to work things out between them. Then there were those that just wanted to get friendly with a group that had taken out one of the kings.
The state of Slough had returned back to full force; it would only be a short while longer now, and it would be back to being a tier 2 city.
Information spread about what had occurred, and there were many people talking about what happened for a while. People had even run a donation page to help the victims of Slough more, helping to speed up the recovery of the city. However, a chain of events that followed had caused people to soon forget about Slough and what had occurred.
For one, the attack of the Altered Hunters on Ruin City. It was an ongoing mess with both sides hitting each other once in a while. There was a large-scale fight that had gone on for a few days with no victor.
Unlike the events of Slough, there was next to no news of what was happening, but from the look of things even now, there was no declared winner in it all. One thing was clear that the attacks had slowed down and now both the Lupus Gang and the Altered hunters had weakened.
Kai thought it would have been a good time to attack them if it wasn’t for the fact that Slough itself was still recovering as well.
Then there was the events that had occurred in Inferno City. With no leader and the fall of the gang, the city was in chaos for a short time. The remnants of the Phoenix gang were attempting to protect themselves from the nearby towns and cities attacking them.
Some of them were trying to get their funds for helping on the attack on Slough and the failure that had occurred, but what everyone had expected had occurred and one of the other kings had claimed Inferno City as their own.
It was none other than Harvor Ego, from the One Gang. Ranked 1 in the AFC rankings. With the Lupus gang dealing with the Altered hunters, it only left the Dark Guild and the Bree family to act, yet none of them did anything.
The world was a crazy place, and movements from the deeper dark shadows were starting to come out.
In the town of Slough, a fairly large man walked through the streets and looked up at the sign spread across an entertainment establishment that read ‘Wolf’s pool club’.
“So, this is the place. It’s time I explained everything to them,” Dean Dem said with a sigh and walked forward.
