After the first woman had come over to thank Gary personally, it started a chain reaction, causing more and more of the residents to come over. All of them praised the teenager for what he had done for them. They hadn't seen him in a while and felt like they might never get the chance to see im again.
"I won't have to be cold this winter because of you!"
"My toilet finally works, it flushes properly and I don't have to punch my crap down the toilet anymore!" Another resident shouted, with some onlookers staring toward him for sharing something a bit to personal.
"Without having to worry about any rent increases in the future, I can finally put that money I had saved up to splurge a little on myself. Thank you for letting me live my life a little more stress-free."
Gary Dem, the 'Business Tycoon of Slough', had bought up the entire building. 'He' hadn't stopped there either, as the entire area was now under his name. Learning about the fact that someone had been buying up the buildings where the less fortunate citizens of Slough lived, the residents had naturally been weary, but Old Man Mortem, Gary's previous landlord managed to figure out who the real person was responsible for all of this, since the name had to be signed over and there was a condition in the sale, that Old Man Mortem was to be a caretaker of sorts.
After the buyout, many small changes took place, but it had a big impact on the residents. On top of that, many had seen the program of Gary on TV, learning the fact that he had become an Altered.
Before that, they had wondered about old landlord's theory about Gary being responsible for this improvement of life, after all where would he have gotten that money. Now, however, seeing him introduced as a rookie from the AFA about to appear in the AFC, it started to make sense. They didn't really know how Altered made money, or how much they made, but among the locals it was common sense that Altered were rich, or at least the ones behind them were. Even though this wasn't true for every Altered it wasn't common knowledge.
"What is happening? Why are all the people thanking him?" Spring asked.
"Of course." Gary answered without hesitation.
With a few taps on her phone, she wired the money to Gary's account. The next moment he went over to Old Man Mortem and asked him to contact all the residents and treat them to a meal. Should any money be left over, he was to purchase some gifts for the children.
"Gary... are you sure that man isn't just going to keep the money to himself, how can you just trust him with such a large amount?" Clem asked.
If people knew who Gary really was, not a single person would attempt to take his money. There was no need for that, though, Mortem had helped out their family more than once, not to mention the Howlers had paid for more than the market price when buying the Apartments off Mortem, who thought it was all Gary's money in the first place.
"Let's hurry and go to my apartment and get out of here, before the others find out." Gary said.
