Stanley was still standing on the outer ring, watching everything going on. He was getting extremely frustrated and continued to dig into his tablet, pinging the other members.
‘Those Zodiacs, where are they all? Did they not get the message!’ Stanley thought. ‘Am I really going to have to do things myself at this rate?’
Even though he could see that Xin, Park, and Austin were dealing with the One Gang members with ease, he still didn...

Gary was conflicted in the VIP room for a long time, wondering what to do. He had been going back and forth. It wasn’t his mess to get involved in.
It wasn’t his place; he had the responsibility of the entire Howlers. His actions weren’t just his, but also the actions of the entire Howlers, so he couldn’t just do as he wished.
However, the situation was setting it up, almost inviting him in. The place was cleared of people, and there we...

Due to the ringing fire alarm bell, everyone had been escorted out of the building. Many of the event staff were focused on making the people comfortable and not causing a disaster.
Since there was less panic, more people had time to think about the fight that had just gone on inside as well. They were talking to each other about the event.
“Man, Jayden Tiger did better than I thought. It was almost as if he drew out more power because this w...

The fight had come to an end, and a winner had been announced. With that, the ref had come into the ring, and along with them a large group of those from the One Gang. In this instance, it was usually time for the after-fight interviews where they would ask a bunch of people questions.
However, Jayden appeared to still be on the floor, knocked out. So instead, a microphone had been handed to just Harvor.
“Today would have been quite a gloriou...

Despite the words of Harvor, despite all of the cameras in place and the people watching, as well as how this would affect his future, Jayden ignored it all. Strange currents started to gather around his fist.
They were visible to everyone who was watching, twirling up and down his forearm. Right there and then, Jayden kicked off from his feet and a current of wind pushed from behind.
He was now moving even faster than before. It was like a bul...

Harvor’s body had remained unscathed. Although in his fights he had survived a number of large blows in the past, there was never a real mark left on his body. His skin had never been cut, even by the most dangerous of Altered forms.
It was one of the reasons why people considered Harvor to be simply above the other Altered. It made others incredibly curious as to just what type of Altered he was, to the point where there were even bets going on, and the one day ...

Stanley had his eyes on two places. One was the large TV screen where the fight between Harvor and Jayden was taking place. Usually, he would just ignore the fight altogether, but the way Harvor had been acting had Stanley a little concerned.
Not that he thought his boss would lose, but maybe something else would occur. As for his other eye, it was kept on the tablet screen. Not too long ago, he had sent one of the Zodiacs to check a particular location.

Ice had been in his fair share of fights before he entered the prison, and only a few while he was inside the prison. Usually, he would conserve some of his strength because there was a chance he would need to fight more later.
This time though, Ice was going all out from the get-go. As he held the ice spear in his hand, he hurled it with all his might.
Simba, seeing this, let go of the club with his mouth and tried to jump back, but the spear ...

In the parking lot, Ice hadn’t moved from the floor he was on. They had parked on the eighth floor, and there were still four more floors before one would reach the rooftop. The reason he hadn’t moved was because there was no reason for him.
After having spent a long time in a prison cell, staying outdoors in the current wide space was a relatively easy task. He had actually come to enjoy it now that nothing was watching him.
He leaned up a...

Jayden was finally able to catch his breath. He could feel his abdomen throbbing as he stood up and placed both of his fists up by the side of his head, ready in a fighting position.
‘That hit was incredibly heavy, and I couldn’t even see where he came from,’ Jayden thought. ‘I can’t get hit too many times. I don’t know how many times I can stand up if I get hit again.’
Just as Jayden thought those words, he could see Harvor move ...

With a deep wound in his stomach, part of his face disfigured, a certain person had been running through the halls inside the arena.
He quickly went down a hallway with his back against the wall as he heard several footsteps running toward him.
“F*ck me!” Raven said. “Fighting one of their Zodiacs or whatever it was, they were a lot harder than I thought. In fact, every single one of these guys in the One Gang is tough.”

Xin and Gary both winced the moment they saw Jayden being hit with the fist. They had an idea of Jayden’s strength, even though he hadn’t transformed.
They knew how sturdy he was, how firmly his feet were planted on the ground, which gave them an idea of just how painful Harvor’s hit was.
It had sent Jayden flying and even damaged the cage that was made with reinforced metal, designed for Altered fights to begin with.
Now, Ja...

The setup for the current match wasn’t something that Jayden was used to. The octagon was bigger, around three times the size, allowing for much more movement.
This was the ring that the top ten fighters fought in. It was designed to give ranged Altereds more of an advantage compared to the close-combat types.
There was no referee for the match in the ring itself; instead, they would observe the fight from the outside.
It was...

The two contestants were in the ring, having made their entrances, and it was customary for both of those taking part to move toward the center and touch fists before heading back to their areas for the sounding bell to start the fight.
Intensely, both of them made their way to the center, and Jayden could feel his heart beating through his entire body with each step he took.

The tension was rising everywhere, even places outside of the arena unknown to others. It might have just been another fight for Harvor, another way for him to show his skills to others, but it meant a lot more to a lot of them.
In the arena itself, in the VIP rooms, there were also the special guests that had arrived. In one booth, the representative from the Bree Family.
Inside the room, there was a woman sitting on the sofa, wearing black st...

With the news of Zodiac Peter having fallen, Harvor couldn’t help but laugh at the situation. It wasn’t many people's first reaction when they heard one of their top men had been defeated—in their world, “defeated” often meant killed.
“Did I make a mistake in making Peter a Zodiac?” were the first words that came out of Harvor’s mouth.
After all, the One Gang was filled with incredibly strong powers, and Harvor picked them based...

In the preparation room, there were several people coming and going, leaving and entering the room. The majority of them seemed to be members of the One Gang, recognizable by their purple and white tracksuits. They would either speak to Harvor directly or talk to one of those in lab coats.
Despite there being only one hour left until his big fight, Harvor was still on the phone, and he had been for a while. His phone constantly rang, and he was making many deci...

Reacting on instinct, Gary activated the claw drain as he threw his hand. He could see the attack was not simple one, and he had a feeling that if it hit his skin, it would hurt.
No one at Harvor’s side would be weak by any means. More importantly, Gary wasn’t going to hold back in his strike when it was about to hit Xin.
Which was why, unconditionally, he activated the new fire trait he had received, allowing him to add extra power to nearly a...

Ever since Harvor had entered the room, a sick feeling had settled in the pit of Xin’s stomach. She wondered why her brother’s opponent was here of all places. It didn’t make sense, even if Apollo was one of the Zodiacs. Apollo wasn’t a long-lost friend or anything, and it was clear that Harvor was treating the upcoming fight as just another match.
Then she heard it—Harvor called her by name and mentioned that he knew she and Jayden were sib...

Harvor had entered the VIP room, a place that should have been off-limits to any guests apart from those who were registered to enter.
Of course, there was one person to whom these rules didn’t apply, and that was Harvor. This was his city, this was his arena, and no one could say no to him.
Gary could recognize the presence of him immediately, and his looks due to him being the champion of the AFC.
The man had walked in ...

The event was underway, and the first match had already concluded. It was a fight between a debut contestant and a veteran.
The debut contestant was from the AFA, whereas the other contestant had several fights. Experienced, and was a person who was there to weed out those that were talented and those who weren’t.
Thankfully, as usual, the student selected from the AFA had won relatively easily, and in between the fights, there was now a ...

Time had gone by, and the event was about to start any moment, but the final act of the event still wouldn’t be for at least another two hours as they watched other fights take place.
Both Park and Austin had made it to their seats in time to see the spectacular opening ceremony. Flames erupted from the octagon center, and an announcer had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, with the crowd already largely cheering.

Gary's body stiffened up, and he was like a statue frozen in place, the only thing moving were his eyes, fixed on the packet of crisps he had dropped. He didn't know whether to jump back, pick up the crisps, or at least say something to break the awkward silence.
That was when Xin, who was just about to sit down, suddenly took a fighting stance, her eyes fierce and ready for action.

“Wow, this room is huge!” Gary exclaimed as his eyes scanned the VIP booth they were now in.
The VIP booths were large viewing areas stationed about two-thirds of the way down the stands. They weren’t directly on the floor level next to the AFC arena. Instead, it was a spacious glass booth that occupied a large section of the stands, made entirely of one-way viewing glass.
From inside, they could see out into the arena floor, but those in the stands had...
