My Werewolf System

Chapter 963  Mysterious Friend

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.

‘I can’t believe it, I’m heading to Centerfield, where the White Rose base is located, and the last time I was here I was directly underground in the White Rose base. At least I won’t be meeting Kanu in the White Rose base, but just in the city. Still, it’s a worrying thing,’ Gary thought.

Centerfield was considered one of the safest cities in the country. This was due to the fact that no gang ran the place, and it was because of the White Rose base in the first place.

Many of the central government’s politicians lived here, as well as other wealthy individuals who felt like they would be targeted or used by the gangs that controlled the other cities.

There were great schooling systems that ran in Centerfield, and nearly all of the mayors that ran the cities and towns as the mayors and representatives for the local governments came from Centerfield.

Depending on one’s standing, background, or how well they had done in the system, they would be sent to look after different cities.

This was the type of place Gary imagined Ben Clove had been raised in and was sent to Slough of all places to try and run the place.

“If you stare out that window any longer, I think you might just be able to pass through it,” Kai commented.

Turning his head, Gary looked at his two travel companions that were sitting opposite him. There was a table between them, and Gary and Austin were both facing toward him.

“I have a lot on my mind these days. I was thinking back to when things were simpler,” Gary said as he slouched across the table.

“We can always talk about those times,” Austin said. “Like when we first met, or fights that we used to have back in school.”

“Hey, not all of us were brutes in school. Gary had a pretty tame life in school,” Kai replied.

“Really, I guess you’re just a natural talent then,” Austin replied.

“Not natural, it’s all because of this Werewolf System. Anyway, I keep telling you, the two of you didn’t have to come. I’m sure you would prefer to just stay in Slough with the others,” Gary said.

“You think you can just travel on your own now?” Kai stated. “You’re well known all over the world. People will recognize you left and right; you need some strong bodyguards to look after you.”

“I’ve left a lot of duties to our allies back in Slough, and if anything large comes along we have Marie, Olivia, Midwak, and more to deal with them,” Kai explained. “Especially now that you have that new friend of yours, Ice, who seems to be settling in quite well.”

Gary wanted to mention that wasn’t enough the last time someone had attacked them, but it was very unlikely that they would be attacked again.

As for the reason why Austin had come along, he seemed to have his own reasons.

“You’re thinking about why I insisted on coming along, right?” Austin asked. “It’s because wherever you are, trouble seems to follow you. It would have been a great chance to have entered that prison with you. I would have gained a lot of experience in getting stronger.”

“Trust me, you wouldn’t have liked to have gone in that prison. It was a rough place, and just heading to Centerfield is reminding me of it again.”

Gary did think of one thing though: everyone in the Howlers right now was focused on getting stronger. After hearing the stories from his father, it had ignited a fire in them.

They were always training to grow stronger but not to this degree. Everyone knew at some point they would have to go against Lupus and his pack of Werewolves.

Another King, that was considered to be stronger than even Sin. The gang had become attached to Slough, and in the last fight they had lost a lot that couldn’t be recovered.

For one, they had lost Tyler, their driver, and had yet to replace him. It was something that Gary couldn’t do.

Kai did try to push for a round of interviews. They needed someone close that they could trust that would be taking the core members of the Howlers after all.

Someone that wouldn’t be swayed by money from other gangs or persuaded in other ways, and it was nearly impossible to meet the requirement. It felt like a position that couldn’t be replaced, which was why they were taking the train today, but were at least in the first-class cabin.

“What I wanted to ask is why didn’t you bring Xin?” Kai said. “I mean, this Kanu from the White Rose said he wanted to speak to you related to her brother. I know you and Xin have gotten closer, but to ask you and not her, what gives?”

“I have no idea,” Gary sighed and went back to staring out the window. “That’s what I’ve been wondering as well. But I think it might be for the best that Xin doesn’t come along until I figure it all out.”

“The last she said to me was after sorting out her father to be a better role model for Slough, she would ask him about her brother. Her father must have some answers, so maybe if we link the two together we can get something.”

“Besides, there’s something so strange. I told you Kanu and a few other White Rose agents helped me break out of the prison.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“When I asked why he was helping, he said it was at a request of someone. At first, I thought you might have pulled some strings, but you had nothing to do with it.”

“So you think this special person that asked for a favor is Jayden,” Kai replied.

“Exactly. It might be because of him that I was able to break out of the prison, so I need to return the favor.”
