Chapter 352: Flawless Hunt

Chapter 352: Flawless Hunt

In the middle of all this chaotic mess, Gary’s system still managed to surprise him.

[Secret achievement unlocked: Flawless Hunt]

[Whether through luck or strategy, but your Pack managed to pull through and successfully finish its first hunt without suffering any casualties!]

[Reward: 10 Pawn Points (Use at your own discretion)]

The green haired teenager only knew of a few ways to receive Pawn Points, the most reliable one being to either turn someone into a Werewolf, or kill them after they had become one. So far, certain Quests had also rewarded him with Pawn Points, but the most he had ever gotten was the one Knight Point he had received for consuming Kirk. With this generous reward, Gary had effectively doubled his total overall count.

‘ ‘Secret achievement’, huh? I got one a while ago for defeating that colour gang, but last time the reward was merely EXP, so why is the system being so generous now… and what does it mean by ‘use at your own discretion’ ?

‘It’s not enough for me to increase my Grade once more, so should I convert it to Stat or Skill Points? Or does the system want me to turn and evolve the others?’

Looking through the system screen, Gary could see that Kai was still standing there looking down at Damion, seemingly in a trance.

‘Now is not the time to be worrying about system things.’

“You did it, Kai, you defeated your father! With him gone, Slough will no longer be under the thumb of the Underdogs!” Gary tried to cheer up his friend. “Finally I won't have to worry about my family… so thank you, Kai.”

The words ‘thank you’ somewhat managed to snap Kai out of his deep thoughts, and he was going over the words that Gary had spoken. He let out a sigh, aware of how he would have fared without the intervention of his fellow Werewolves.

“Please, we both know that he was kicking my ass while he was holding on to his axes. This wasn’t how I imagined things going down, especially after I forced you to turn me… sorry for that. Anyway, you shouldn’t thank me, I should be the one thanking you for coming here in time and saving me, not once but twice… and also for letting me be the one to end that piece of shit.

“Olivia, I also want to thank you for keeping those guys busy in the meantime.”

“Sure, sure, not like I had much of a choice in the first place. Speaking of them, what are we going to do? I can sense that a few of them are just pretending to be down, or are unconscious. Do you want me to finish these other guys off?” Olivia asked, since some of them were still breathing, but had been cut severely on the legs to the point where they could no longer move.

“We’ll call the police and let them deal with the rest, without Damion the gang has already fallen apart, there isn't much for us to do in terms of the Underdogs. However, Slough is a different story.” Kai replied lifelessly. Usually he might have advocated for a more secure ending for them all, but he felt like too much blood had already been shed today.

“Your family might be safe, Gary, but Slough isn't. The Underdogs, they were doing someone else's bidding, that's how you became a Werewolf, and that's how someone like Kirk was even with the Underdogs in the first place.

“Right now, we have to focus on getting control of Slough before anyone else swoops in and takes the glory for all of our hard work. Damion was trying to meet someone, probably whoever was the one to give him all those Anti-Altered weapons.

“I think it's best if we don't risk them seeing our faces. We have to force them, make them have no choice but to come to the next leader of the Slough if they want anything done in our town.” Kai said, clenching his fist.

Kai’s journey felt far from over. The teenager could only hope that his father’s death might bring him the result he wanted, which was why he was using his energy to focus on something else. Whether that was the case or not, Kai was right about all these things.

“I know it doesn't end here.” Gary said. “That's why we made a promise to go to the top. We're in too deep now.”

The two smiled at each other once again, but their touching moment was interrupted by the slamming of a car door, just outside the car park.

“That can't be the police, there’s no way they got wind of this, and I only just sent them a tip off now, that's too fast.” Kai stated, worried that it would be those that the Underdogs were planning to meet up with.

“Damion told me that he would have someone extract the Altered DNA from my body, so it’s probably them.” Gary guessed.

“Or the gang in charge of the Underdogs, either way, I’ve had enough killing and risking my life for you brats today.” Olivia complained. The Lady Boss then used her whip to pick up a couple of the Anti-Altered weapons as spoils of war before making a run for it, and the two teenagers quickly followed.

Kai looked at Damion's lifeless body a final time as if he expected his father to rise once more, but naturally nothing happened.

‘I hope you rot in Hell with Simon.’ Kai thought.

A few moments later, a new group of people entered the car park. Three among them wore white lab coats, the rest were wearing strange armour on their body, while also wielding weapons similar to the Anti-Altered weapons still lying around. Not all of them had armour or weapons, as somewhere dressed up in nice suits, sunglasses and more.

They were an odd match for people, that was because these people were the Recoverer.

“Gather information from those that are alive, let's try to find out what went on here.” The man with a white robe at the front ordered.

He eventually walked over to Damion, and looked at the large wound on his neck.

“It looks like the very reason you called us here was the death of you. I bet you started to think you were invincible. It's a shame really, I would have loved to see what you could have become.” The man spoke seemingly to himself.

A short while later, and the rest gave their reports about what the survivors had to say, that being that they had been attacked by three Altered, all of them displaying wolf-like features.

“I see.” The leader noted, before addressing the one in charge of the Recoverer. “Well, make sure no one else learns of this, and it looks like we might be meeting some new business partners soon. Send someone to link up with this city's gang once they're ready.”

“Sir, what if they don't wish to do business with us?” The man asked. “After all, if they have three Altered in their midst, they might already have someone else backing them.”

“In that case, you’re to follow the protocol. If they don’t need us, we don't need them either.”
