Chapter 323 Catch The Rat!

Chapter 323 Catch The Rat!　　Since the main bulk of the Howlers were no longer going to school, they had decided to regularly meet at the Wolf’s Pool Club. Technically, the Howlers owned multiple establishments that were in Burnham food street. They were larger and perhaps better used, especially since the members were coordinating more with the old Members of the Pincer gang.

However, this place seemed more like home for them, it was the place they started, so it was the main base for the Howlers. At the same time, they felt like it was somewhere that other gang members would never suspect that the leaders of the Howlers would currently be.

Currently, Austin, along with Innu were walking down the street. They were a little sweaty since they had continued the morning training sessions. Instead of doing so early in the morning at school, they now did it in the basement of the Wolf’s Pool Club.

“Am I the only one who feels put off by this? Do we really have to do this?” Innu asked, as they approached the door of an establishment nearby, It looked to be a shoe shop of some kind. Innu peeked through the window to see if there was anyone inside and could see an old man.

“This was a job given to us by Kai. We have to expand the business that the Howlers own, and that naturally includes what is near the Wolf's Pool Club. We need to increase our presence now that the other big gangs are gone.” Austin reminded him.

Although he didn't go to the same school as the others, Austin too had finally decided to drop out. He had chosen the path he was going to take, and with everything that's happening, he knew that this was his future.

“But that's the thing, why send us out? Just the two of us. I mean, he decided to no longer go to school anymore either, right? Isn’t he also suited better for this stuff? And what even is he doing.” Innu had stopped his complaining there, even though there was more on his mind.

Because, the truth was, Kai was actually helping them out quite a bit. The fancy new lawyer was trying to find some way, so Innu could get out of his current foster parents. Kevin and him could live together and look after Suzan.

When speaking to Kai, he had given him great confidence. Stating that if they couldn't find out how to do it the legal way, then they would do it the 'illegal' way, only that would cost money and take some time.

Eventually, after having no choice and needing to accept what was going to happen to both of them, Innu pushed the door open.

“Oh, it's rare to see two young students at this time of day, and in a shoe shop no less, how can I help?” The old man greeted them with a smile, which was just making Innu feel a little guilty with what he was about to do.

‘Just think, you are just doing them a favour. These shops are okay now, but sooner or later they need someone like us.’ With this resolve, he clenched his fist, and replied.

“The two of us are from the Howlers gang, and we were looking into expanding, we thought that maybe that the two of us could collaborate on doing some business together.” Innu stated.

Hearing these words, the smile from the man’s face dropped instantly.

As for the reason Kai was unable to do this task himself, it was because he had other important matters to attend to. Currently, the blonde teenager was walking towards what looked like an apartment building. It was extremely run down, as if no one looked after the place at all.

Some would even think no one lived in such an area, but that wasn’t the case at all. On the very top floor, there were several doors leading to other rooms, just like on an apartment block. Turning towards the first door, Kai entered by turning a key. And inside was not what one would expect, because it wasn't a normal apartment at all.

The single door led to a large room that took up the entire floor of the apartment block. The door outside was just for appearances for the rest of them. Walking forward many of those that were inside gave a nod towards Kai, not saying much.

They were other members of the Underdog’s gang. The whole apartment block was actually owned by the Underdogs, and it was one of their many secret hideout places they had, just in case things like this happened.

Many of the members were practising fighting. Working out with weights, hitting bags, training with weapons and more. Then at the very back of the room, out on a large table that had been set up. Standing there with a few other members was the one and only Damion Hawk.

“Will you look at that, now that you're no longer going to school, you're actually starting to resemble an adult.” Damion said with a smile. Looking around, Kai noticed that there were a few crates that he didn’t see before. None of them had been opened yet.

“What's with the crates and what’s the meeting about today?” Kai asked, getting straight down to business. It looked like one of the men was about to go over to the crates and open them, but Damion quickly shook his head.

“Now, just because you are starting to get more involved in the gang business doesn’t mean you're the head of it just yet. If you want to act like the leader of the Underdogs, you would have to become it, and to become it, you would have to take me out…”

This was the way Damion always talked, there was no special treatment for his son that was for sure, and the next second, pulling out a small blade from his back pocket he slammed it onto the table.

“Let's get this meeting started, shall we, after all, we need to figure out who the rat in the group is!”
