973 Another King?
**MWS 966**
All at the table were silent for a moment while Kanu simply sipped his coffee as if it was just another normal day for him. It seemed he had somewhat made peace with what had happened with his sister.
“It’s no wonder that Jayden didn’t tell you anything, nor did he tell Xin,” Kai said. “The fact is, his enemy is NIRV, one of the biggest corporations in the world with links to all gangs, including several Kings.”
“And the One Gang as well. If anyone knew that these were the enemies they needed to face, I imagine they would quickly give up.”
Kanu was looking directly at Kai when those words were spoken, and it raised an eyebrow.
“Let me assure you, neither I nor Jayden have given up. We’ve just decided to go our separate ways. Remember, there are two enemies in all of this.”
“From the White Rose perspective, even though they don’t want to, I have been pushing them further and further into investigating NIRV.”
“I was the one in charge of the black substance investigation and was why I came and took your opponent away that day.”
“Right, wait, so you know NIRV is behind the black substance?” Gary asked. “And you know the One Gang is behind your sister’s death, so why don’t you do something with the White Rose?”
Kanu placed his cup of coffee on the table rather forcefully.
“Do you need your ears cleaned, young man? I just told you I am. I’m from a group that carries the weight of several cities and the government in its hands. We are funded by the general public, so it means that our movements have to make sense to the general public.”
“If we were to go up against the One Gang, then we would have to use every single one of our resources. We would come out of that fight maybe not even as the victor and would have little to show for it.”
“Look, I’m not asking for your direct help in all of this. At the end of the day, this is none of your business, it’s not Xin’s either,” Kanu added. “However, I’m worried with this fight coming up.”
“Jayden might be putting a lot on this fight, and if it doesn’t work out, I’m afraid he might jump and try to do something more radical. I already lost my sister, I don’t want to lose a brother as well.”
Gary looked up and turned toward Kai and Austin, wanting to gauge what their reaction was to all of this.
“Hey, you don’t have to ask us,” Austin said. “Look, we know the guy saved our leader’s life, you managed to come to Slough in time because of Jayden’s string pulling.”
“At some point or another, we would have to go against another of the Kings,” Kai stated. “When we fight Lupus, the other Kings would think we were trying to expand and target us.
“Your dad told us that there needs to be a way for us to get stronger, and maybe, helping out your brother-in-law and going up against the Kings can get us to where we need to be,” Kai cheekily said.
In Gary’s mind, they had just gotten out of a tough battle with the Phoenix Gang. Slough was just repairing itself, and he didn’t want to put the people through that again.
He had to make a choice, though, helping Jayden possibly meant going up against another one of the Kings.
