Chapter 909 The Power To Match A King
A few hours before Gary had arrived in Slough, he was very much still at the base of the White Rose. The alarm had been set, and the whole base now knew of the escape of the prisoners.
On top of that, fortune didn’t seem to favor the group too much. Meeting up with Kanu, Elijah, Sadie, and Frank, they thought with the help of the White Rose they would be able to get out of the base quickly.
Instead, what had occurred was right in front of their exit, they had met with one of the Chiefs, a position that was even higher than that of Kanu. Chief Jones, an old man with a large black beard, part of it greying, was in their way.
Multiple White Rose agents behind and in front of them were all blocking the path, yet that didn’t stop Gary, as he dashed forward slamming one of the White Rose agent’s faces into the ground.
“If you want to stop me, you"re going to have to bring the whole Army, I’m getting out of this place no matter what!” Gary claimed.
Still filled with power after consuming the Warden. His strength had grown a lot to the point even the Chief was surprised.
“What are you all doing standing around for, capture him!” Jones shouted.
Several of the White Rose agents had transformed and were jumping towards Gary. However, he swiftly avoided their attacks, he himself hadn’t even transformed, yet with single hits by his fist, he was crus.h.i.+ng them to the ground and they weren’t getting back up.
At the same time, some of those that ran toward him found themselves falling as they were slipping on ice. Others had cards pierced into their bodies.
Finally, on top of that, there were feathers that were thrown out hitting the other people one by one, and an aging claw-like hand that came sweeping and cras.h.i.+ng into a group of them.
“I can’t believe it, Kanu, you"re betraying the entirety of the White Rose and for what, for a single prisoner!”
”Are you trying to teach me between what is right or wrong, because right now, I feel like I’m doing the right thing!” Kanu jumped in the air, his entire arm had turned into a giant claw like that of a crab.
He slammed it onto the floor, and the ground beneath broke up into two waves blocking the attacks from two of the agents. Right after, Elijah had slammed his fist into one’s face full of rock.
Another had come to attack him, with a quick duck though a body flew over his head from where Gary was and knocked the other member out.
Although all of them were now taking part in this breakout fight, there was one person that was delaying the most amount of damage.
Not being able to take it anymore, Chief Jones had decided to step up as well. He charged forward, his arm extended and changed into a strange species with multiple spikes on its hand.
Gary was still in the middle of fighting others, and as he hit one person, he saw the tentacle land on him. He used his hand and allowed for the spike to rip right through his skin.
Right after, Gary, now holding onto the Chief, had decided to pull him forward and he had dragged his whole body, flinging him. Gary slammed the chief’s body into the ground.
As soon as he was done Gary was getting ready to either attack the chief again, or head straight for the door for his exit, that was until a strange web was shot out, and wrapped around his body.
He tumbled to the ground in the giant web-like structure, falling to the floor.
“Opptus, this is just begging to get more annoying by the second.” Kanu exclaimed.
“What’s the plan? If we just stay here and fight, more and more members are going to come this way.” Sadie claimed.
She could see with her eagle eyes that already more White Rose members were coming at them.
Kanu only could say one thing in response though. “Just hold out, and opportunity will present itself, I promise you that.”
With another chief coming at them, many would think Gary was down for the count, but his sharp claws were easily able to break out of the web, and immediately he was able to get back in the action and back in the fight again.
Through the fighting, the White Rose agents helping Gary found their backs turned fighting against the other White Rose agents, and it was the same for Gary and his group.
They were fighting, moving backward creating a circle, and even though they were taking out several more and more were coming.
“Your plan of just waiting isn’t a very good one.” Blackjack claimed. “May I suggest we do something else.”
Before Kanu could answer, it was then they could see another person moving. A man that was around 8 feet tall in length standing higher and taller than everyone else. The White Rose agents, as soon as they saw him, moved out of the way and instantly paid their respects to him.
“That’s Constable Theodore Tallsworth!” Kanu said, shaking his head.
Sadie was biting the bottom of her lip. While Blackjack was wondering what the big deal was.
“Now that he’s come, even with Gary, I’m not sure if we can get out of here.” Elijah said. “There is a reason why the White Rose is considered a force as strong as the Kings, and it"s because of the three Constables that sit at the top.
“Each one of them is considered to have the strength, the same as that of a King… this might now be… the end of our escape.”
The power of a king, and they were in a location where there were three of them. It was quite possible that Gary was in the most dangerous place in the country, and he was understanding why the quest requirements were so hard.
