Chapter 162: Main Quest Complete
At the time, each of them was just worried for their own lives, they honestly would have all done the same since the only way to survive seemed to be to kill the twins. Otherwise, they would have been the ones to be added to the corpse pile. As such, n.o.body blamed Gary for what he had done.
While the teenagers might be okay with it, in the eyes of the law murder was nevertheless a major crime. In fact, the warehouse as a whole would be a major crime scene, since multiple members of the grey colour gang had been killed by the two beasts. The Howlers were all left wondering if they could get out of the place without any trouble.
“Say, can you call those guys over?” Innu asked, thinking back to when he had been left a special gift by Billy.
“They won’t be able to cover all of this.” Kai shook his head. “There are also too many witnesses. Not sure if they killed all those outside, but at least a good number of those who had been inside that escaped saw us already. We can’t keep them quiet… however, we don’t really have to worry about it.
“After all, we aren’t the only ones who don’t want everything that happened here to leak to the outside. Those injections that the twins had… I doubt it came from the colour gang, so most likely it was something given to them by the Grey Elephants.
“By now they might already know that something is happening in here, so they’ll have to have started preparing the cleaners. They wouldn’t want word of what happened here going out to anyone. The police or the other gangs… so for once, we should be thankful that there is a group big enough to clean up this mess. In a way, these twins solved that problem for us.”
“That still leaves one problem.” Austin spoke up, his arms folded. “Unlike our leader, the rest of us didn’t have our faces covered. It shouldn’t be too hard for them to find out who caused all of this.”
Kai smiled a bit as he went looking around for something. He had already looked around in Buffin’s home and couldn’t find what he was looking for. “You don’t have to worry about that either. Who would believe that a no name gang like us, the Howlers, would have the power to take out an entire colour gang? Especially if they also had monsters like these?
“The only logical explanation is that we have someone backing us… and the only gang in all of Slough with that kind of power would be the Underdogs. They won’t attack us anytime soon. I know I was wrong about the Wolf’s Pool Club, but if I were to take a guess, that was all due to the personal vendetta of those twins rather than the grey or colour gang’s order.”
Eventually, Kai found what he was looking for. It was a small box that was hidden behind a small crate. Kicking it to the side, he could see what looked like a safe. There wasn’t even a lock on the safe. A method used by some gangs to test their loyalty.
Of course, if anyone stole from the safe, they probably would never be found again, but this time, everything was there. Opening up the safe, there was cash upon cash. It looked like the grey colour gang had been paid quite well, or at least rather recently, by the Grey Elephants.
“I think we deserve this after what we went through. Don’t you think so?” Kai asked, shoving some of it over to Austin since he was unable to hold it all by himself. “We’ll use this money to restore the pool club, pay for our medical fees and of course, you all deserve some for your troubles. I’ll use my cut to try to expand our business a little more as well.”
Eventually, Austin went and found a bag in one of the containers and placed all the money inside.
“Let’s get out of here.” Kai smiled at them all. “I also want to congratulate all of you. In a way, this was the first real fight we had as a gang. Everyone survived and we came out on top. Think of this as a good thing if you can.”
When heading outside, there were a few members of Austin’s friends who had already arrived, with their motorbikes. They had parked just outside the warehouse gate, unable to see the inside. They were a little worried about heading into another gang’s territory.
There were four of them in total, and one of them had only come along to bring Austin’s bike for him.
Since they were already nearby, Austin told them to wait for him a little away from the warehouse which they happily complied. With the help of Austin’s friends they were all taken back, including Gary, and not once had anyone had asked him what had happened.
Everyone was dropped off at their home, and they agreed that they would talk about what to do some other time, Kai would contact them all.
Once at home, Gary headed for his room. He gathered some clothes, since the current ones were what he had borrowed from the grey colour gang members, and took a long and thorough bath. He bought himself some food to eat and helped cook for Amy as if it was a regular, normal day, but it was far from it as he went to his bed and laid down.
His phone went off, and looking at it, he could see there were a couple of messages.
[A new group has been created]
[The Howlers]
[Kai: Welcome to The Howlers group chat! Here I will update everyone on events, duties and more. Everyone, you might be happy to learn that so far it looks like we have nothing to worry about. No reports have been made about what had happened today.
[However, there is news of the grey colour gang having been defeated. For now, I would say keep your mouth shut about what we have done to everyone.
[In other good news, Miss Degrace is doing well. She was let out of the hospital and her injuries were st.i.tched up. As for Marie, she is already better. She will still be staying in hospital for a couple of days, though.
[I will handle the repairs of the Wolf’s Pool Club with today’s funds that we gained. Have a rest for the next couple of days, enjoy life and I’ll let you know once the club is ready to be back in action.]
Seeing the message, it was the first thing that put a smile on Gary’s face.
‘It’s over… right, those twins can’t mess with us any more, but that’s just one problem out of what feels like a hundred.’ Gary thought.
Before going to sleep, Gary wanted to check one more thing. Because after defeating the twins, he had completed two Quests and received great reward, for one he had reached Level 10.
Levelling up twice from this event meant he had gotten stronger and had two more stat points to use as he wished, but it had also completed another quest that Gary had long forgotten about.
[Congratulations, you have now reached: Level 10]
[Main Quest completed]
[Look at you! You are growing into a fine Werewolf and taking on this role well.]
[Now that you barely know what you’re doing, society demands for you to make yourself useful!
It’s time for you to choose a path to go down on your Werewolf journey]
