Chapter 925 Xin's Fury

Chapter 925 Xin's Fury

During the whole attack on Slough, Ben Clove had decided to retreat back into his grand mansion that he had bought when he had first arrived in Slough. A place that was located deep in the woods away from the life of the city and built-up areas.

It was a gated community filled with guards from old gangs of the past. Not everyone had joined up with the Howlers but the city itself was under the Howlers' rules. At the same time, there were always those that preferred a cushy personal security job that would only entail them being in danger once in a while.

For a while now, Ben Clove had been pacing backwards and forwards in his office. He was still technically the Mayor of Slough, and he was afraid that at some point the enemy would come to him.

He hadn’t been keeping up with the situation, only getting reports once in a while from his phone. He refused to watch the live stream like everyone else had, afraid for the bad news to come.

When he thought about it more, he wasn’t even sure what he would prefer to have, either way, he was either being controlled by the Howlers, or he was being controlled by the Phoenix Gang.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard through his double doors, clearly coming from inside the mansion itself.

“What is going on!” Ben went behind his desk. Even though he was an Altered, for anyone to get through all of his guards, they had to be incredibly strong to a degree.

Lifting his head, he peeked his eyes over the desk, to see the double doors bust wide open as a body was flung and hit the desk.

“Dad, where are you hiding!”

Standing in the doorway, with her clothes partially covered in blood, was none other than Xin.

“Xin?” Ben said, a little more relaxed now, as he started to stand up.

Rather than thinking about the good of the city, Ben had always felt resentment for taking everything away from him. For everything that had been built up that should have belonged to him.

Now he realized though, if he was in the situation, if the Howlers never existed, he would have never been able to build it up the same way, as the Howlers had been able to do.

The phone that was placed on the table for updates, interrupted the silence. It continued to vibrate against the wood.

“Pick it up.” Xin said. “It could be important.”

Seeing whose name was on the phone, and after receiving the news which he had, he didn’t hesitate as he answered.

“Hey big boy.” The voice said on the other end. “The city is in ruins at the moment, there is a lot to be done, and I’m going to need your help. I’m sure you kept a piggy bank of your own safe for times like this right?”

“Wait, are you talking about using my own personal funds, I can’t do that!”

“Dad!” Xin shouted back.

“I mean... What is the request?”

The voice paused for a second.

“We need to help rebuild this city together... and stronger than before, before another large threat gets us. I need you to come see me, it’s time for change.” Kai stated.
