There were three different car parks for the venue alone due to the sheer size of the place. It could hold up to 100,000 viewers, making it one of the largest venues for events in the world. It was a lot of people just to see two individuals fight at a time.
There was a multi-story car park, underground parking, as well as outdoor parking next to it. On top of that, they had a bus and ride system where one could park outside of the main city and then ride buses to view the la...

As the attention quickly shifted from Xin to Apollo, a giant of a figure that stood out like a sore thumb, even with all the people crowding around him, Gary could see the top of his head.
‘What is it with me and running into giants everywhere recently?’ Gary thought as he imagined an AFC match between Austin, Ice, and Apollo—certainly one to watch.
Although it wouldn’t sell a lot of tickets, considering no one knew who Austin or Ice really were.

Once the vehicle entered Strifehold, the city came into view. Surrounded by mountains and centered around a large lake, the place was truly a sight to behold. Out in the lake, one could also see the giant landmass and square where the Bloodspire stadium was located.
It was still far away, yet they could see the large statue in the distance. Another thing that struck them was the extremely wide roads with multiple lanes as they drove through the city, and how spacious the land...

Not much had occurred with the Howlers or Gary after the meeting with Kanu in Centerfield. After all, the decision had been made that they wouldn’t act at all. It meant no running investigations into NIRV, no trying to find out how the One Gang operated or who its enemies were.
If anything, they wanted to do everything in their power to avoid getting into another situation like they had before. With the Phoenix Gang, it truly felt like they were just protecting themselves.<...

“Raven, that’s not a name I’ve heard before,” Harvor said.
Raven stood there respectfully; after all, he was in enemy territory, but there was an odd sense of calmness when Raven looked at Harvor.
It wasn’t like when he had met Sin for the first time. Sin felt like a person whose presence he couldn’t even stand to be in front of, while with Harvor, there was this calmness to him.
An aura of a star that anyone was able to approach....

The AFC was a large organization owned by several corporations, with the two largest shareholders being NIRV and ONE LTD, a company owned by Harvor Ego, the leader of the One Gang.
They even had ownership and were part of the creation of the AFA, one of the many academies that trained young Altered, but the AFA had the closest links to the AFC, providing a direct path to becoming an AFC fighter, which was the goal of many Altered.
The AFC was the biggest spor...

“One of the Kings, one of the Kings, one of the Kings.” The phrase Sir Ken repeated to himself several times because it was unbelievable to him.
The situation just didn’t make sense. Many people may have considered Sir Ken a fool, but he would never have been foolish enough to offend one of the Kings.
They held the most power in the country, and one of the leading countries in Altered development, practically making the Kings the strongest people in the...

Gary was looking at just how many people had been brought. There had to be around fifty or so gang members just for the three of them.
He couldn't believe that a man would act in such a way just because he wanted them not to hit a kid. At times he thought the world was getting better, and then situations like this one would appear.
Sir Ken was continuing to gloat as he looked at the three of them who appeared to be on the back foot.

The group had decided to have a nice evening meal just before leaving Centerfield. It was a time for them to relax and explore a new place a little. On top of that, Kai had suggested it, feeling it was safer for them compared to other areas. Being in the open public in a place like Centerfield, the gangs would surely be less likely to act.
“So, we were attacked by a gang. What for?” Gary asked, as he finished his third serving of steak and went ahead to order a fou...

Although Gary knew Xin was trying to chase her brother down, it seemed like she never wanted to directly get involved and chase him. She had tried to contact Jayden multiple times, wanting him to reply to her. She wanted to find out why he was avoiding her so much.
There was always the option to attend one of his fights as a way to see him, but it would still be nearly impossible to talk to him. Which was why Gary was quite surprised that Xin wanted tickets to watc...

Still sitting at the coffee shop in Centerfield, both Austin and Kai were waiting for Gary to decide what to do. They watched carefully, noting every detail of his body language, ready for his response.
“I don’t think we should get involved,” Gary said.
“Yeah, that’s it!” Austin cheered, pumping his fist. “I’m ready to fight whenever you ask, going up against one of the kings. We did it before, and we can do it again. Then we ca...

All at the table were silent for a moment while Kanu simply sipped his coffee as if it was just another normal day for him. It seemed he had somewhat made peace with what had happened with his sister.
“It’s no wonder that Jayden didn’t tell you anything, nor did he tell Xin,” Kai said. “The fact is, his enemy is NIRV, one of the biggest corporations in the world with links to all gangs, including several Kings.”
“And the One Gang as w...

“Your relationship is really interesting, really interesting with Jayden, and maybe he feels close to you because your relationships are closer than you expect,” Kanu said as he leaned into Gary.
“Some people might think that it’s not my place to talk about this, to tell you his past when he decided not to tell you, but f*ck them,” Kanu said. “Because this has a lot to do with me as well, so it’s my choice to tell you, and there’s another rea...

“My relationship with Jayden?” Gary asked, his feet starting to fidget, and he was somewhat twiddling his fingers before he eventually gave an answer.
“It’s strange, you know,” Gary said. “We met through chance, but it seemed like we’ve been connected in more ways than one.”
“First, I had problems controlling myself, my powers when I turned into an Altered. At the time, I was on a street, and Jayden was just there. He saw me and helped me. That was ...

In Centerfield, if there was one thing there was an abundance of, it was coffee shops. There was one on nearly every corner, with a large number of people working inside them.
Even on a weekday, in the morning, the shop would be filled with people typing away on their laptops or just casually having a chat.
It was the first time for Gary to see such a thing, making him wonder if any of these guys even had a job. Regardless, sitting outside a...

Ryan’s body had instinctively acted before his mind could properly think. Everything he had eaten felt like churning up out of his mouth.
When seeing Kanu enter, Ryan knew who he was; there wouldn’t be many that didn’t. The White Rose had gone through big changes, and one of them was putting more effort into the Internal Affairs team with the superintendent.
The group of people was to keep the White Rose in line and true to their goal. They h...

After leaving the underground cell, Ryan went up to the office where the other police officers currently were.
He sat down on a chair by one of the computers. Usually, at this point, the officer would make a report. Since it was to do with Altered, Ryan himself would have to write up a report to send to White Rose as well.
“I’m sorry sir, but I can’t really write anything without a name,” the police officer said.

Austin and Kai had left the platform and finally exited the station to see they were in Centerfield. They had exited just in time to see Gary being placed in a patrol car and taken away.
“So what are we going to do now? Are we going to follow them?” Austin asked. “Or are we going to call Elijah or someone to help Gary out?”
“Don’t you think sometimes Gary needs to learn a lesson?” Kai said, which was an answer that took Austin by surprise. ...

Gary was quickly trying to analyze the situation. He looked at the mother in the back who had deep concern, but her head was also facing the ground as if she was scared.
He had to assume that this was the mother of the two kids, but she didn’t say anything when seeing them, perhaps because of the pressure of the entire situation.
Then there was the White Rose agent. Having seen the marking on the clothing many times, Gary knew what he was loo...

“Your orders, sir?” the large guard asked, raising his hand and looking back over his shoulder.
Sitting with two more guards opposite him was a man in a large blue suit, stretched to its limit over his belly, with one button ready to explode like a bullet at any moment. The man’s hair was balding, combed back in a futile attempt to cover it up.
“Those brats!” Sir Ken shouted. “I’m the mayor of Clusterfield, and I’m about t...

The first-class cabin on the train only consisted of a single cabin, which looked like it could fit around fifty people at max capacity.
The cabin itself was half full, so there was actually no one sitting on the side next to their group. A few bobbing heads could be seen in the seats ahead.
Kai had purposely selected this time, of course, when it wasn’t so busy to head to their destination. It was all for the sake of Gary traveling without too much trouble. Even n...

Talking with Elijah, the meeting had been set up as to where Gary would go, and he was now heading to his next destination, Centerfield.
Sitting down in a rather comfy large red chair, Gary was watching the fields and trees pass by, and a moment later another large train had passed right by them going at great speed.
It caused his sensitive ears to twinge slightly, but he had gotten used to sensitive sounds.

Gary was thinking back to when he first met Jayden. All of his impressions of him were good. He had helped Gary when he was practically a stranger, bringing him off the street.
Then, when he learned about his close relationship with Xin, he didn’t try to get in the way. If anything, he had encouraged Gary even more to work harder than he did before.
The relationship was as if he truly had an older brother, and Gary felt like he could always l...

Dean watched the video and clearly saw that a pack of Werewolves had attacked the NIRV base. It wasn’t some type of Wolf Altered or anything like that.
He recognized the movements, the way they transformed—everything that was different between Altered and Werewolves.
There weren’t several packs of Werewolves out there. Although the attackers looked young and Dean didn’t recognize any of them, they could only have come from one...
