My Werewolf System

Chapter 1069  Why Act Now?

A wide range of people had gathered in the streets. It was as if a giant parade was taking place in the city, but it wasn’t a celebration of a grand event that had occurred over the years. Everyone had gathered for one individual, Gary Dem.

Looking among the faces, Gary couldn’t even recognize them all—the faces of those he passed every day. These were the people that supported him, these were the people that cheered for him, yet he knew nothing about them, and they took the time out of their lives to see him off.

'It's like a fantasy... am I even living in the real world right now?' Gary thought, as he was practically getting dragged away by Kai and the others.

This was something that maybe every child dreamed of one day—entering the AFC and having overwhelming support—and he had achieved it as a byproduct of another goal in his mind. Just for a moment, he wanted to cherish the crowd in front of him.

He finally moved and was about to enter the car when he heard a bystander shouting with his phone recording.

"Are you going to win today's fight?" a young man shouted. "Gary, are you going to take Harvor's crown?"

Gary looked at the young man's face; it was shining brightly. He looked to be a teenager still in school.

Clenching his fist, Gary thought of the words of those that he would watch, what they would say, and then he lifted it in the air.

"After today, Harvor will no longer be able to call himself a king," Gary replied.

Right after, the entire crowd erupted into cheers again, and when sitting in the limo, Gary felt like it was shaking just from the sound of the cheers alone.

With that, the vehicle went off, going through the city. The cheers continued from the apartment buildings to the side of the streets and more, and they had eventually left the city.

"You have the biggest smile on your face," Kai said. "That's good, you earned everything that we have here. You want to protect it, I understand... Slough has become a much better place now."

"But it's not just because of me," Gary replied. "It's because of all of us, and the people that stayed with Slough."

In the vehicle were Marie, Olivia, and Kai, while Park was driving. It was the small group that was allowed to accompany Gary to his fight and allowed him to prepare.

While the rest of the Howlers, including that of the White Rose, would be appearing later as regular customers to watch the event. During the time, preparations would be made, directions for the camera team and more.

Smaller details needed to be sorted out, and things needed to be set up so both fighters would make it there with no problems at all.

"Gary, that was cool man, really cool," Park claimed behind the wheel. "I mean, so many people know who you are and are supporting you. I thought Harvor being the champion and all for so long, maybe there wouldn't be so many people, but did you see that, did you see it?"

"Have you seen the road?" Olivia suddenly asked, her tone was serious including the look on her face. She was sat upright staring out the window.

"What do you mean, what's wrong with the road?" Marie said. She could observe that there were cars around them; it wasn't so busy which was expected at this time and on the highway.

"The same type of cars have been driving around us, not a single one passing us no matter what lane we are in—the one in front, the one to the left, and the one to the right as well," Olivia claimed.

They were only a quarter of the way to the venue and would still have an hour to drive to where they needed to be. So no one had expected anything to happen, but Olivia had a sense from her days. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now having made Park aware of what was taking place, he saw the car from the side swing into their lane, coming close to them, ready to crash. Park quickly slowed down allowing the car to go in front of him, and then sped up to the side.

As he quickly drove away, he looked into his rearview mirror and could see several cars were now following him, and just like Park himself they had their foot down.

"Any chances that the ones that are trying to knock us off the road are from the One Gang?" Marie nervously said with a smile.

"I thought you said that Harvor had morals though," Olivia replied. "That he wasn't the type of person to do this. He's confident in beating Gary and taking him down, he has no clue what is going on, so why go to such lengths to knock us off the road before we even reach such a place?"

When Gary heard what everyone was saying, his blood was boiling. They already had Xin, and now Harvor wasn't even willing to have a fair fight with him. He wanted to just rip off the roof of the car and pounce on those chasing them.

"Sometimes it's not the person himself but those around him that believe they are doing such things for the better," Kai added, thinking of one person in particular from the Zodiacs, and Kai understood, because if the situations were reversed then maybe he would have done the same thing.

"I'll tell you one thing though," Kai said as he opened the car door. The wind was blowing and the car slowed down as the wind pushed into the door. "These people are seriously annoying me."

Kai then pushed himself until he was on the roof of the limo.

"Keep heading to the venue, I'll get rid of them."

Kai said as his body transformed, and suddenly from the view of the vehicles they now could see a giant wolf on top of a car.
