638 The Howlers growth
After leaving AJ Entertainment, Gary unexpectedly found himself back in Slough, his hometown he hadn't anticipated returning to so soon. However, a series of events had led him back.
When Ash had called for the Howlers' help, Kai had already been on his way after informing Gary, just in case anything happened, or more specifically in case there was a need to cleaning up the aftermath. After all, Kai knew how messy things could get.
With the situation resolved, the two of them decided to head back to Slough and return to the Wolf's Pool Club for a little chat.
"So, tell me, how did you enjoy your week as a star?" Kai asked with a broad smile, sitting in his comfortable chair. "Of course, none of what happened at the end will be released to the public, but I heard they’ve filmed enough to go ahead with the program after the editing is complete."
Gary gave Kai a look that somewhat explained the feelings he currently felt. "Why didn't you tell me that you had bought the majority of AJ Entertainment and mainly used my name?" Gary slapped his forehead.
He imagined that with that information, things would have been way easier to deal with on the inside.
For one, he would have easily been able to have the producer fired without having to take any action.
"It was a deal with someone I barely knew. I had a good feeling from Ash, but their gang isn’t the same as ours, and from what I found it they were divided. I didn’t want to risk that information falling in the wrong hands, and what’s better than having a spy on the inside who doesn’t even know he’s a spy?" Kai explained with a chuckle.
Shaking his head, Gary didn’t approve of being used in this way, but he knew that part of the reason Kai kept quiet was because he trusted him. The most important thing was that everything turned out mostly okay. Some people were hurt by these events, but Gary also felt that him taking action should be for the best. If these things hadn't been uncovered, who knows what would have happened.
"Fine, but in the future I think I would prefer knowing these things. Speaking of, what's your next step in all of this? You seem to be doing a lot, and my time in the AFA is almost up," Gary asked.
impressed by the progress she has made."
Being a Werewolf, one did have exceptional growth compared to Altered, but Gary's growth with the system was always beyond what others thought. Even through the small interactions and the Quest he had completed back at AJ Entertainment, his skills had grown.

"As for Innu, I haven't seen him much. I did check in on him. I gave him funds to set up a new Black Rock Orphanage, sponsored by Business Tycoon Gary Dem, of course.
"When I went around, I met up with Kevin, who said Innu had been coming home late. He hasn't been at the Wolf's Pool Club or hanging around with any of the others, so I'm a little concerned about him. Before you go, I would appreciate if you could meet up with him."
Gary thought it wasn't a bad idea; it wouldn't take long just to drop by. But just as he was about to, his phone vibrated with a ping, receiving a text message.
"What is it?" Kai asked, seeing the look on Gary's face.
"It's the AFA. They said my debut match has been set... but the date is two days from the next full moon," Gary answered.
Resting his elbows on the desk and his head in his hands, Kai thought something like this would happen. Fight dates were quite hard to change due to the number of people and money involved.
"We can't keep running from this situation forever. I've been meaning to do this for a while, but I think it's time that we have another serious talk with Midwak. As someone who belonged to a Pack of Werewolves, I’m sure he has to have a way to stop this transformation."
