The situation was heating up in all parts of Slough, but the first area that had made contact with the opponent was none other than Cipen. Crowley had been fighting Glutton, one of the strong leaders that belonged to the Phoenix Gang.
The civilians behind him, and the gang members that he taught every day for over a year now, were getting hurt, which was why he thought it was best for him to use all his strength to go all out and defeat the opponent as quickly as possible.
Using a...

A single mysterious man stood at the end of Burnham food street. Unlike the other members, he wasn’t dressed in all red; instead, he had a grey jacket on top of his shirt along with a pair of black trousers.
“Hahaha!” Raven laughed as he placed his hand on top of his face. Through his fingers, he was peeking at those on the other side.
“Who is that guy, why is he laughing so much?” Numba asked.
Unlike the other members of the Phoenix Gang who they had attacked at f...

Standing on the edge of the Cipen border on a hotel roof, Sin held his arms in the air. He was allowing the wind to drag through his clothing behind him. He took in a deep breath through his nostrils and then out of his mouth.
“Don’t you smell it, that ashy, mucky smell. This city is burning,” Sin stated. “The city won’t last much longer, at most all of this will be done by tomorrow.”
Certain areas of the city had completely burned down with nothing left to burn. A lot...

Ian, Numba, and Izzy had reunited. The three of them were part of the AFC during the era when Gary had joined as well. They had stuck close together, including with Gary, and had been through a lot.
Just like Izzy, though, after having a few matches in the AFC, their fame was enough to give their group the recognition they needed, and their families realized that there was more benefit for them if they stayed close to Gary and the Howlers along with their growth.
Meaning there was...

One of the main areas being protected by the Howlers was Burnham Food Street. Right now, Olivia was walking through the street with Marie by her side. The two of them were looking at the large number of restaurants on either side.
Some of them had their windows smashed in. Others had part of their signage above the restaurant destroyed and had fallen to the ground.
Before they had fully been able to secure the area, it had been damaged as well, but now, the only ones on the street...

After the Howlers members were successfully turned, the group had to wait for all of them to wake up. Fairly quickly after that, someone needed to make them aware of their situation and teach them how to use their newfound powers pretty fast.
How to transform, how to fight, how to just use controlled transformation, and what it meant to be a werewolf. Converting energy, and consuming targets to continue to grow.
To not let one’s hunger get to a dictatorial point where they would...

Readying himself for a tough fight, Crowley had spread his wings relatively wide. The support from the attacks from the back had stopped. After the last attack from Glutton had hit the cars, the order was to stay back.
The citizens were realizing, by them taking part in this whole thing, there was a chance that they could get hurt as well. Still, they couldn’t help but peek through the gaps, watch from the sides, as there was a group of people fighting to defend them.

Crowley was ready as he stared out. Was it going to be another wave of the lower-tier gangs out here to get them, or would the Phoenix Gang feel like they had done enough? There was always a limit to wearing a group down.
As they successfully would defend from more and more attacks, the morale of the Howlers would grow with strength as they would start to believe they could actually win the fight. It was the perfect time, just now as the public were starting to feel safe, to ...

It was a long night for the people in Slough. Although they felt safer in the areas of Burnham and Cipen, what they had gone through was frightening for them. For most of the general public, it brought them back to the days when the Underdogs were in control.
Frightening things like this would happen from time to time, but hardly to this level. It was the first time that such an attack had occurred on such a wide scale. When they tried to sleep, they couldn’t help but wake ...

Marie was staring at the body on the floor, and everyone in the room had frozen for a moment. Some were just about to get bit by Olivia or Kai, but now they were busy looking at the dead person on the ground.
Lifeless. Being in the industry they were in, there were times where they had seen people sent to the hospital or a death happened right in front of their eyes, but it was usually in the middle of a struggle.

“I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready,” Tyler continuously repeated, his teeth chattering away.
“You don’t have to do this, you know?” Kai said. He felt kind of bad based on how Tyler was acting, as if he was doing something against a person’s will.

The words of Dean may have sounded powerful and just, but when looking at Kevin and the others around, Kai began to notice something, a large pattern within the group. The truth was that a lot of the Howlers Gang and those loyal to the cause were young.
They were those who had just come out of school, not going to university. Some of them had even dropped out of high school to pursue joining a gang. This was the norm, but Kai didn’t want their gang to be like the norm.

Surprisingly, it was just as Dean had stated, the attacks on Slough including Cipen and Burnham had started to slow down as it got later in the night. If Kai had a clear mind, he would have noticed it as well.
Even their attackers had to sleep at some point. Although they were large in number in terms of fighting power, they were all used to their own routine, so they couldn’t just attack non-stop.
Still, there were the smaller groups and such that were still making trouble, whi...

The situation was rough all over the place, in the areas of Cipen and Burnham. The two areas seemed to be under attack, not just from the hired gangs from the surrounding areas, those after bounties, but even the Phoenix Gang themselves had finally come out.

Blackjack never thought that he would be in this situation. Ice didn’t seem like a person that could be convinced, which was one of the reasons Blackjack never even tried, yet somehow, through a fight, they had managed to get Ice on their side.
Gary was now energized as well, which meant today was the day that they went with their plan. None of them stayed in the same cell; they all stayed in their respective cells but a time was set.

Ice was thinking about what Blackjack said, and in the end, he had just got up from where he was sitting and had decided to leave the others. He wasn't worried about Gary anymore; he seemed to be doing fine, and since he had a relationship with Blackjack, he knew that he would be safe.
Just before he was about to leave, though, Blackjack had one more word for him. "Be careful out there, they might try and get you, since they saw you lose and all," Blackjack commented.
Ice smiled. ...

Carrying the two of them on his shoulders, Blackjack had reached his cell. He didn’t need to say anything; the prisoners he walked past, who were still in their cells, had quickly left to enter the main area, and not a single person remained in their cell rooms apart from the three.
Ice was laid on the floor on one side, and the same was done to Gary. Finally taking in a big breath, Blackjack leaned against the wall and just waited patiently.

The large battle had come to an end, with one person left standing, while the other was lying flat out on the floor. Ice had passed out, and to those watching, there was a clear victor. The only thing was, those watching had no clue just how close the match really was.
To them, Gary, while taking the hits non-stop from Ice, looked like someone who was invincible and had an unlimited amount of stamina. That was because for that short period of time, those two things were certainly true.<...

For a split moment, after the two were finished transforming, Gary looked into the eyes of Ice, but a second after, he charged in fast. With his full transformation and speed, as well as using the last stand skill, he was on limited time.
When Gary was close, he jumped up in the air, pushed off in the air, and drop-kicked the large shield that was in front of him. The strength was immense causing Ice to stumble back.

He was unable to raise his level by large amounts because the system wouldn’t give him exp based on what he was doing. There were no tough opponents for him to face, and he hadn’t gone around just starting fights with the other gangs in the area.

It was quite clear that Gary had been going about this fight the wrong way. Although he knew Ice would be strong, since he had beaten Stinger with ease, he thought that the other prisoners would be like that as well, but this person was completely different compared to those from before.

Gary had thought of a number of things to get Ice to fight him, but depending on what type of person he was, allowed him to decide whether or not he would beat him and consume his body for the sake of his own strength, or just beat him to satisfy Blackjack’s requirements.
However, it seemed like Ice was a bit stubborn, and it would be hard for him to fight with Gary. But that all seemingly changed when he started to mention that he was planning to escape.

The prison was always full of fighting. It was an everyday occurrence, but it wasn’t often that a person would go so far as to take it to death. When it did occur, not much was done about it in the prison.

The Howlers from behind weren't just regular members of the gang. Their bodies started to morph and transform, changing into parts of beasts. Those who didn't transform were holding onto Anti-Altered weapons.
These people were a special group within the Howlers. Nearly all of the Howlers, including non-Altered members, were trained by Crowley. He had daily lessons that would run three times a day, each time with a different group.

Apart from just Sin himself, there were the three who were always by his side: Glutton, Greed, and Garbo. Regularly, Sin would use these three to do the majority of the large dirty work for him—dealing with uncompromising local gangs and even when having trouble with neighboring Tier 1 cities, the other kings.
Of course, Sin himself would regularly appear as well, showing o...
