Chapter 761 1 year later
A year had gone by since the fight between Gary and Midwak for the battle over who would be the Alpha of the Howlers' pack. In turn, whoever won this fight would have control of the other Beta Werewolves, which included Kai, Olivia, and Maria.
It wasn't just the Howlers' pack, but more so the entirety of the Howlers' corporation that was on the line. Thankfully, Gary had managed to win. It wasn't an overwhelming victory, but it was a victory that had been achieved during the day.
It showed that Gary now had the strength to defeat a powerful Omega wolf at Midwak's level without using the class skills he had obtained. The reason for him doing this had worked out as well.
Midwak, although able to challenge Gary once every month, had never challenged for the position again, nor did he seem to complain about the tasks he was given by Kai.
This was all because a promise between the two after that fight had been made, and although Midwak was still wild and hard to control, he seemed to be keeping to the promise that had been made between the two.
Progress was fast for the Howlers and what used to be the town of Slough. Slough was now considered a city rather than a town, and not just any city; it was officially recognized as a tier-2 city. UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m
This was mainly due to the connections that it had brought in with Cardenez Electronics and AJ Entertainment. The city grew, absorbing the surrounding towns as well, and the place looked nothing like it did in the past.
Large grand buildings, business offices, freshly paved roads, and sidewalks all appeared in the area. There was a high level of skill and workforce that was constantly coming into Slough.
To the outside world, there were two groups of people responsible for this. One was the famous investor and ex-AFC fighter, Gary Dem. The rumors stated that using the money from his short-lived AFC career, he had made a few successful investments and continued to rapidly expand from there.
Although this wasn't the case because Gary had already invested in multiple projects under his name before he even made his debut. However, the public knew next to nothing about that, so the rumor that fit the better narrative was the one that was spread in the end.
Then the second group was the Howlers Corporation, which was just a gang under disguise. The other gangs knew this and knew they had to have a high level of strength since the Howlers also were in charge of Notsburg, another tier-2 city.
"When mum wakes up, she's going to think she's traveled into the future or something."
Gary continued to walk, entering through the door. The entrance was busy and packed with people. They were waiting to be seated at the bottom floor restaurant, all dressed up for the evening.
One of the men at the door greeted him, to which Gary reached in his coat pocket and handed a blank black card with a golden trim on the outside.
"Please follow us, sir, we will take you right to the top floor."
"Hey, wait, did he just cut the queue!" One of those who were waiting said.
"Hey, shut up, don't you know who that is? That's Gary Dem?"
"Wait, what, that's the Gary Dem! Ah crap, I'm sorry," the man said, rubbing the back of his head, embarrassed.
Entering the elevator, it shot up right to the top floor. The floor with the revolving restaurant, which was booked out 6 months in advance. As he stepped out the doors though, the floor was practically empty. That was because the entire place had been reserved for Gary.
Walking forward, there was a seat that was right by the window, and a female with stunning grey hair was sitting looking out.
"Were you waiting long?" Gary asked.
"Long time no see," Xin smiled.
