Chapter 739 The biggest enemy?
Gary’s hand was shaking as he looked at his phone. He had to be a bit careful in case he gripped around it too hard, otherwise that would be the second one he had thrown down the gutter.
‘What is this, NIRV are the ones behind the gang, they are the ones that have been hoarding and claiming all of these beast crystals?’ Gary thought.
It was starting to make sense. Without the system, Gary also wouldn't have known the value of the crystals, and there would only be a few people who would, one of them being a company based around turning people into Altered in the first place.
The thing was, he didn’t have fond memories about NIRV. He remembered when he had met a few of their scientists while he was in the AFA. The way they acted, the way they treated the students, it was as if only what they were doing was the most important.
‘I remember that contract I signed as well. It allowed them to call me for any special reason, as a retriever was it? If I remember correctly, past students of the AFA are retrievers as well, and who knows how many people they made sign a similar contract with, in order to get their hands on some Altered solutions.’
Gary was no fool, with a big corporation like NRIV, they were working with multiple big tier cities and gangs as a form of protection. They also had the retrievers at their call, and of course, they were likely to have kept some of the best Altered solutions that they made for themselves.
‘Kai was right, we really didn’t have a clue who we were dealing with, and now we're having to pay for it!’
Immediately, Gary turned to Elijah who was still by his side.
“Did you know about this?” Gary asked, shoving the phone in his face, but he had done it so forcefully and wasn't keeping it still, so Elijah couldn't even see what was written on the phone.
“Hey calm down, I have no clue what you're talking about, what happened?” Elijah asked.
“I called over my friends, they will be here to pick up the workers and will continue to take them to Slough.” Gary answered. “No one’s come after us for a while, probably because the whole gang is too obsessed about this Phantom Brawl thing, so I’m sure they’ll be in safe hands.
“But my friend, he’s at the Phantom Brawl right now. If it was just the Scavengers I would have to worry about, then it would be fine, but if it's NIRV... I don’t know what will happen, I have to go!”
Gary quickly went ahead and borrowed one of the masks from the other workers, they had plenty due to the fumes the factories would produce anyway. The mask itself didn’t do much but Gary was to cover his face still.
The Scavengers still had no clue that this was the Howlers' work, and now he wanted to keep it this way as much as he possibly could.
After explaining everything to the others, telling them that it would be okay, Gary was ready to leave.
“Wait!” Elijah shouted, and he picked up a mask from the side, and placed it on his face. “I’m coming with you, to help, not as a member of White Rose, but as Elijah...”
