Chapter 1036 We Do This My Way

1036  We Do This My Way

Gary, along with the rest of the Howlers, remembered how they had been treated when going against Sin. Sin had used his influence to force Gary to be locked up.

It had caused great problems for the Howlers, and it was the reason why so much of the city was destroyed before Gary was even able to make his way there.

However, they weren’t able to do much beyond putting Gary behind bars, and the White Rose now was a much cleaner place than it was before.

“When you say the White Rose will move, what do you mean by that?” Kai asked.

“I mean exactly what I said,” Elijah replied. “Kanu has been building up whatever he can find on the One Gang, but he knows it’s not enough.”

“You know we are aware of some situations linked to NIRV and the black substance, but we can’t act on it because there’s a lack of evidence.”

“Unfortunately, the White Rose is an organization that needs to act based on evidence and has a procedure to follow. If you can dig up something big on Harvor, then we can get big people from the White Rose involved.”

It was hard to guess the strength of White Rose, but Kai knew those at the top, at least combined, had to have the same power as a King.

If he could get their help, then maybe they wouldn’t even have to rely on Gary getting stronger either.

“But what does the One Gang even have?” Gary asked. “If Kanu is running an investigation now and can’t find anything, how are we meant to be able to find something? I mean, is there even something to begin with?”

“Ha!” Daphne laughed. “I guess even though you are King, you really are a youngster. To get to this position, there are always things we have had to do. Although to us it might be considered justice, to others it might not be the same thing.”

“I’m sure that’s how Sin even put you behind bars, because there was a partial truth to what happened.”

Gary couldn’t deny that. His hands were soaked with blood, soaked with those of the dead. At times he thought about the lives he had taken.

What was even stranger about him was his sense of guilt about doing such things was practically non-existent, and he wondered if that was because of the Werewolf side of him.

“Right, so he must have done something bad, but getting into the city is going to be hard,” Gary added.

“You leave that to me,” Kai said, rising from his seat. “Tell Kanu that we’ll inform him if we find anything, and to inform us when he’s pulled out of the city. That way we can be prepared for what happens next.”

“As for you, Gary, I think you need to focus on something else, right?”

Shaking his head, Gary remembered they had been caught off guard by the news.

After giving a few greetings to Elijah, Gary said his goodbyes to his old friend. Both of them appeared incredibly busy.

The last thing Elijah said was good luck to Gary, which were words he didn’t particularly like. He felt like luck wouldn’t get them out of the situation they were currently in.

Leaving the rest, Gary and Daphne had gone out of the city slightly and had entered one of the deeper wooded areas located at the foot of a few hills.

It was an area Gary would frequent a few times in his past when he had first hunted a few squirrels here and there.

He knew there were no eyes that would see them here.

“This place seems appropriate considering your Altered form,” Daphne said.

“So what did you have in mind? Are the two of us going to fight? Is there anything you want me to focus on?” Gary asked.

When thinking about his own situation, his endurance was already maxed. Even if he did get more stats, it wouldn’t make a difference.

Yet, he had still been knocked out by Harvor in a single punch. So how was he even meant to train? Could his body go beyond the system, or had it hit some type of limit?

There was one thing he thought he could do, and that was to try and level up, reach Level 50, but it was clear that would take too long.

“Maybe I can figure out something with your Altered form,” Gary said, thinking that Daphne had to have some type of plan.

“I don’t have an Altered form,” Daphne replied.

This had shocked Gary. Sure, there were many people in the world that weren’t Altereds, but for one of the Kings to not have an Altered form—was that even possible? How did one even rise to the top?

“But in the ring... I saw you control one of the Zodiacs,” Gary asked.

“Right, but that’s not because I’m an Altered, that’s because it’s part of my family’s power,” Daphne replied. “You can believe it or not, but there are many people out there that are hiding things from this world.”

“One of those things is special powers that they contain. Maybe they can control fire, or have telekinesis or something. But they, just like our family, have never made it general public knowledge.”

“Because a lot of these powers can be taught rather than passed on, and we wouldn’t want everyone to have hold of these powers... it would cause the same disaster as when the Altereds were created.”

Gary was somewhat flabbergasted, but he remembered Innu had also learned to use strange powers. It wasn’t completely far-fetched, and if he were to go further...

If there were vampires and werewolves, why couldn’t there be those out there in the world with powers?

“So your power, it allows you to control Altereds?” Gary asked.

“Not quite,” Daphne said as she rolled her fingers and stretched them out with one hand. “It’s a bit more complicated than that, but what I’m hoping is that my powers can unlock something in you.”

“And give you a little shortcut. Are you ready?”
