Chapter 843 One Deadly Bite

The words of Dean may have sounded powerful and just, but when looking at Kevin and the others around, Kai began to notice something, a large pattern within the group. The truth was that a lot of the Howlers Gang and those loyal to the cause were young.

They were those who had just come out of school, not going to university. Some of them had even dropped out of high school to pursue joining a gang. This was the norm, but Kai didn’t want their gang to be like the norm.

Due to the size of the Howlers and how large it had gotten, he was unable to keep a close eye on everything that was going on.

‘All of them, even those like Kevin, are prepared to fight to their death. As those responsible at these times, we have to make a decision for them as well, when we can see they're being unreasonable.’

“You are too young to make your own choices,” Kai said directly to Kevin.

After saying those words, there was a huge look of disappointment on Kevin’s face, and Dean’s hand even slipped away, because he too had realized what Kai was getting at. The adults should have done more, so it didn’t get to this situation.

“That’s not something fair to say, yourself,” Tyler said, starting to speak up. “It’s not fair for you to say that to us.”

“You should know, when the Underdogs were in control of this city, even though we were too young, we had to listen and obey. To live what life we could just hoping that something would happen to them to change it.”

“And then it changed, everything changed, and we, everyone here I’m sure, wanted to help the people that changed our lives. We had nothing before this; Slough was nothing and was degrading close into a tier 4 city.”

“People were too worried to leave their houses; they were unable to open their businesses, and the only choice we had once we finished school was working at some convenience store or a life of crime.”

“The Howlers is what changed that; now we have something to protect. So don’t go forcing our choices on us now, just like they did back then, alright!” Tyler said with his chest uplifted.

When people go into battle, happy to risk their life, they had that determination, but they felt more in control. Here based on what Kai was saying, it was almost just rolling the dice.

“For those of you that are successful, Dean here will teach you how to use your powers, and upon using your powers, we will bring the fight directly to the Phoenix Gang, and they won’t have a single idea what hit them.”

Kai’s speech had ended strong, but the shock from before was still there; it was still present with most of them.

“If you wish to leave now knowing everything, then I won’t stop you,” Kai stated.

Some of them looked at each other, and eventually, one person had left the tent, moving away. He found it hard to look at the others, but soon more started to follow.

Five in total had left, and from the look on their faces, there were still those that were on the fence.

“It’s not too bad, right? I mean, it’s risking it to become an Altered. I think most people would take those odds!”

“Yeah, think about how many people want to become an Altered, and now we’re getting the chance to as well.”

“Also, if we don’t do anything, then what’s going to happen? I saw the powers those guys had; if I fight the way I am now, then it will be for nothing.”

The group started to hype each other up as they started to talk, changing the glum prospect, into a positive.

“You have some good people here,” Dean said. “Now it’s time to do the dirty work.”
