I wanted to give some type of ma.s.s release before the month ended. With this, there were 7 Chapters. With my wedding around the corner and planning and prep, it has been more difficult getting these chapters out, but a promise is a promise and I will get you those chapters. There is still an owed 25 chapters.

Every meeting the Howlers had so far, had all been called by Kai. He was somewhat the strategist of the group and whenever he called the others over it was always to discuss something, but this time, a meeting had been called at the Wolf’s Pool club and that meeting was called by Gary himself.
Of course, not a single person was against it, but they were all quite surprised, and wondered what he had to say. A short while later, and everyone had promptly arrived at the Wolf’s Pool club.
He told the others to sit while he remained standing looking at them all. It made the others a little nervous as to why this meeting was called.
“I wanted to ask everyone, what were their plans for the next couple of weeks?” Gary asked seemingly out of the blue.
They looked at each other and Marie was the first to speak.
“Me and Olivia were just planning to continue our training. We increased the intensity ever since our last encounter. We… don’t want anything like that to happen again."
Austin sat back relaxed in his seat.
“I have no plans.”
“There are a few meetings here and there, but actually the next Dark Guild location has been released, and I was planning to attend it. We were going to get as much Altered DNA as we can.
“We believe that most of those that are loyal to us have been selected.”
This was an important project for the Howlers, and after hearing what happened last time, Gary was a little concerned that they might run into trouble this time.
“Are you sure everything is going to be alright? Won’t a lot of the tier 2 gangs and tier 1’s have their eyes on us?” Marie asked.
“We don’t have to worry too much about that.” Kai replied. “The plan is to purchase the Altered DNA through Ash. The reason why I want us to go is two fold. The first is to show that we Howlers aren’t afraid.
“If we don’t turn up, there might be those that think they can mess with us. Thankfully Midwak has done a good job detering any attackers. Second, we will be going to protect the Ashen Gang.
“If they buy a lot of Altered DNA, they are sure to be targeted by some sort of group, and who knows maybe the Altered Hunters will appear again, although I doubt that based on what I already know from Innu.”
Hearing what Kai had to say, Gary looked a little down.
“What's the problem?” Kai asked.
“It's just that… it's nearly been a month since Midwak joined us.” Gary stated. “I’ll be honest with you all. The way I am now, if Midwak is able to attack me during the day, then I’m not sure I would be able to beat him.”
“But, I thought he couldn't leave the city due to the pack rules?” Austin asked.
“That's true, but I’m not sure what will happen on the day he can challenge for his position. If none of the pack rules apply to him that day, even if he is unable to find me, it means he can leave the city and who knows what he’ll try to do to get my attention.”
Midwak was certainly a double edged sword to have around.
“My original plan was getting stronger through the AFC. I was going to take as many fights as possible, but it would take too long to reach the fights that would really make me improve and then there are all the risks a.s.sociated with it.” Gary explained.
“I see.” Kai snapped his fingers. “You called us all over because you had come up with some idea to get stronger, but it seems like the Dark Guild auction has conflicted with that.”
Kai placed his finger on his chin while looking around the room.
“There’s no need for you to be at the auction. I’m sure your presence might even ruffle some feathers. If someone tries to demask you and finds out who you are, it would cause a bigger mess.
“Only now have some of the reporters decided to finally head home. I will take Olivia and Marie, the two of them will be enough support and strong enough.”
Gary wasn’t too sure about that, but in the first place, the Auction houses weren’t meant to be dangerous places. The Dark Guild themselves were strong, and would stop any conflict happening on their grounds.
The bigger cities were unlikely to act and risk souring the relations.h.i.+p with the Dark Guild. Outside partnering up with an Altered DNA company like NIRV, the Dark Guild was most’s best bet for Altered DNA.
“So… what did you have in mind?” Kai asked.
“When we spoke to Midwak, he had mentioned something to us. Something he used to do on the night of the full moon.” Gary explained, and there were worried faces around the room, because they remembered exactly what Midwak said.
“I’ve heard there’s been a lot of cases of Crazed Altered in the lower tier cities. I want to go to the tier 5, 4 and 3. Make the places better for the people, and while thire, get stronger, strong enough to defeat Midwak, and anyone else who gets in our way in the future.”
There was another thought in the back of Gary’s mind. There was also a possibility the reason they were struggling to find their father so much was because he was in the depths of the lower tiers.
