Chapter 536 Slough Gathers

In the first place, the chances of running into someone who would perhaps know Gary were low. Sure, he was a member of the Howlers, the gang that controlled the city, but that was exactly it. As far as they knew, he was just a member, nothing more, nothing less. Yet, their desperate pleas had been heard by a certain someone, and at the same time, the wounds on their body had caused a certain person to be interested.

'What are the chances that this crazy idea actually worked and we not only found someone who knows Gary, but can also help us out in this situation.' Izzy wondered. The three of them were Altered from the AFA, so how much help could a random passerby actually be in this situation, but then again, now wasn't the time to question those things.

"I don't know where he is, but I have his number. Let me text him… you said to tell him that he's urgently needed at the Wolf's Pool Club, right?" The stranger replied, as he was already sending a text.

"Yeah, that's correct. Can you add that the blond guy is in trouble, and to also inform some Olivia?" Ian repeated Kai's request.

"Alright, the message is sent. It's best if you guys stay on the path to the Wolf's pool club if you hope to run into Gary." The stranger advised, as it looked like he was ready to take off.

"Wait!" Numba shouted. "Why are you heading toward the pool club? Don't you understand that the one that hurt us was an Altered?! Are you really planning to go there?"

"Yes." The stranger answered and resumed running off in the distance.

The three stared at the stranger from behind, too injured to really follow after him, and if they were to return, along with anyone but Gary or other members of the Howlers, they felt like it would be pointless.

"Hey… did we just send a random person that knew Gary to his death?" Ian asked with a gulp in his voice.

"I… I'm not too sure." Izzy replied. "Let's just hope he isn't crazy and actually knows what he is doing."

She kept a close eye on Blake as he ran, and somehow, he was able to run faster than a human would. Was it possible that they had run into another Altered? Just how many were there in the place of Slough?

Continuing to run to the Wolf's Pool Club, loud destruction could be heard. The strange teenager that they had run into wasn't out this late at night for no reason. He was searching for information, which was why he had a few items on him.

Pulling out from his back, a black mask was placed on his face. Attached around his back were two almost red-like weapons. Underneath his shirt was armour, the type that only the Altered Hunters would wear.

'If I bring back down another Altered, maybe I can prove to the association that there is no need for them to send me a partner….'

The three students continued to head down the street, hoping for the best from the stranger. At least they knew that Gary has been made aware of the situation, but he alone might not be enough.

"We need to look for other members… others from the Howlers." Numba said. They continued down the street, and not long after, a figure leapt out from one of the alleyways. It was a woman, wearing a tight-fitting uniform in black and gold. However, there was no mask on her face, and she looked panicked. She seemed to be sniffing the air and noticed the three that were in front of her.

"The smell of blood… it's from you." The woman stated, seemingly unsurprised about their sorry state..

"Hey… she has to be a member of the Howlers!" Ian claimed. "I recognise the uniform and figure!!"

Ian had immediately noticed the figure, it was the female that could somewhat transform into a wolf as well. The two boys would never forget the curves they had seen on her body, and there was also the trusty whip they could see that gave things away.

Giving them another look, Olivia Pearl realised that she had seen the three of them not too long ago, having fought on the same side as them.

"What the hell are you guys doing here, and who injured you to this degree?" She asked immediately.

Without realising it, Olivia's eyes started to change slightly as she looked at the three, her eyes starting to glow blue, something they had seen on the blonde boy as well. At the same time, Olivia started to squint as if she was in pain and her chest seemed to be slightly hurting.

"Your friend is in trouble, he was attacked by a Wolf Altered, or a Werewolf Altered!" Ian shouted. "The one with the fox mask, he turned into a wolf and was attacked by another guy who turned into a Werewolf. How come there are so many Wolf Altered in here?" Ian blurted out, as he came to the realisation the others had long since made.

"He needs help." Numba stated. "He told us to look for Gary. We met another teenager who wrote him a message, but we don't know if he saw it yet, and that guy also headed towards the pool club."

Olivia bore through the strange feeling she was experiencing and took in what the others were saying. The blonde boy could only refer to Kai, especially since they had seen him turn into a wolf. If he chose to reveal such a thing, it could only mean that he must be seriously in trouble.

In his absence, the two Beta Werewolves would often spar against each other, and although she would never admit this, after the first few times, it became obvious that the teenager seemed to be better suited to fight as a Werewolf. Even though she might be stronger, he had always found a way to outsmart her in their matches, so for him to say he needed help… Olivia wondered if she alone would be enough.

"Gary… I don't have my phone with me, and we don't have the time to look for him. We can get to him after rescuing that guy!" Olivia stated, ready to transform and rush off to the place.

Just as they turned, though, from above, seemingly out of nowhere, a person landed right in front of them. The others braced themselves as they thought they were under attack. The ground cracked somewhat, and dust was rising. Through the dust, all they could see was a pair of red glowing eyes. At first, all the hairs on their body stood up.
