Chapter 976 What Power Can Do!

The group had decided to have a nice evening meal just before leaving Centerfield. It was a time for them to relax and explore a new place a little. On top of that, Kai had suggested it, feeling it was safer for them compared to other areas. Being in the open public in a place like Centerfield, the gangs would surely be less likely to act.

“So, we were attacked by a gang. What for?” Gary asked, as he finished his third serving of steak and went ahead to order a fourth one. Gone were the days where Gary had to worry about food anymore. He was eating plentifully to keep his energy up day by day.

The thing was, it wasn’t just Gary who was a big eater. Austin, being a large guy, and Kai, being a werewolf himself, were the same.

“That I’m still not sure about. I didn’t exactly get much information out of them. I doubt it’s a random occurrence, but at the same time, I feel like if they knew who we were, they wouldn’t have sent such weak members out to get us. Which is why I’m a bit stumped on this one,” Kai said.

The waiter came back empty-handed with a concerned look on his face as he looked at the three individuals.

“Did you run out of food?” Gary asked.

“It’s not that, but the amount you three have ordered is quite excessive. And forgive me for saying this, but the three of you are quite young as well,” the waiter claimed.

“I see where this is going. In a place like Centerfield, I didn’t think this would happen, but you can pre-charge the card if you want,” Kai said as he took out his wallet, handing over a black card.

“Certainly, your food will be out fairly quickly once everything is verified,” the waiter said.

“I don’t know how you don’t get angry at that,” Gary said as he watched the man walk away.

Gary was wondering if they should make a move and try to find another way to head back to Slough, and that was when his sensitive ears picked up on something, and it was the same for Kai.

“Can you hear that?” Gary asked.

“Yep, and there’s a large number of them as well.” Kai pulled out his phone from his inner jacket and started typing away.

Soon, though, all of them could hear the sound of footsteps as they saw a rush of people walking down the staircase.

Men carrying weapons openly by their side as if they were going to some type of cosplay convention were walking down the stairs and eventually walked out onto the platform.

They didn’t come charging in for the attack, though. Instead, they stood to the side as they made way for a certain pot-bellied man who continued to walk down the staircase.

He was confident, with a smug smile on his face, and eventually reached the platform floor.

“What a sight, right? After you broke out of that little jail cell, you thought you had gotten away with offending me scot-free. But here I am, in the place you least expected, and right at the end, just before you get to go home!”

The man in question was someone all three of them had seen before; it was Sir Ken. The man they had met on the train ride on the way here.

“It wasn’t hard for me to guess that if you came here by train, you would be leaving by train, and then just having someone call me when they spotted you. I have many contacts in this town, and it was simple for me to get this group here in front of you.

“This whole place was cleared just for you. This is what power can help you attain, this is what power grants you, and you will deeply regret trying to get in my way, boy!”
