Chapter 1016: What Is it I"m seeing?
The number of system messages that had appeared in front of Gary were quite alarming. He read through them quickly despite the situation he was in, because they were just that important.
The woman who had just entered with two s.h.i.+rtless men were just like him and Park; all of them were Werewolves.
‘And they"re not just any Werewolves, they’re not like Midwak who was an Omega, they"re part of the Lupus Pack!’ Gary thought.
‘They must be here because they were invited by Harvor. He invited all of the top gangs, so it makes sense, and that message from before, could it be, that she’s…she’s
“It’s nice to meet you finally.” Ylva smiled and then bowed slightly. When lifting her head up, she had a graceful smile. “I expected to meet you someday, but it appears that fate wanted the two of us to meet before even you and Lupus himself met.”
Stanley was keeping a close eye on the interaction between these two, and he didn’t have a good feeling.
‘The two of them are talking on terms as if they know each other?’
‘How is this possible? The Howlers are a new rising gang. Bree might just be taking advantage of the situation, but for the Lupus Gang to be doing the same? If they were close to the Howlers, then why didn’t they help them out when Sin attacked?’
‘Regardless, if she is also going to help out Gary, this might turn out to be a tricky situation.’
“I know what you are,” Gary said. “But did you have to come now, of all times?”
The reason Gary spoke these words was because he had the direct opposite thought of Stanley. There was no doubt in his mind that the Lupus Gang considered Gary an enemy.
Lupus himself wouldn’t allow for another Alpha to exist, and even Gary had made a deal during the ritual to go face-to-face with the Lupus Gang.
It seemed like inevitably the two would come to a fight. It was the perfect chance to stomp the other Alpha right now before he rose in strength.
The only reason Lupus hadn’t acted so far was because the Altered Hunters were in a scuffle with Lupus.
Even with Bree helping him, they were having enough trouble against Harvor.
‘There’s something else that worries me as well, based on the message that I got… is she the Luna of the Alpha"s Gang?’ Gary thought.
‘I remember seeing the system message, allowing me to select a Luna Wolf. Honestly though, I don’t even know the benefits of having a Luna or what strengths or powers they have.’
‘I never thought about selecting a Luna because according to the system it has to be a female, which gives me only two choices, Marie and Olivia.’
‘From what research I’ve done, the Luna is also somewhat like the Alpha’s wife. Like a father and mother running the pack… which was why...’
It was then that Gary looked toward Xin. Yet she was an Altered, not a wolf. If he made someone else a Luna, would there be anything he needed to do? Was it something that was in name only? It was a decision that Gary wasn’t ready to make until he had more information.
“Relax, do you think I would get involved in a battle of Alphas?” Ylva said. “That is his decision to make. He is the Alpha, and he isn’t here. Besides, in order to prove he is the true Alpha, he needs to do it himself.”
“If I was to do it, then it should be a position for me to take, don’t you think?”
Gary didn’t quite understand what Ylva was saying, only that it didn’t look like she was going to attack him.
Stanley had heard enough to make a decision himself.
“Everyone, as I said before, everyone who is inside the ring and not part of the One Gang is the enemy.”
At that point, entering through the cage door, even Apollo was now inside, and on the order all of them started to transform into their Altered forms.
Fur, scales, widened mouths, large tongues, strange-colored bodies. Every single one of them looked to be trouble to deal with.
“This isn’t looking good, even with the help we have,” Jayden said. “These are top AFC fighters, and are all Altered. I think even to take on Harvor all of us would need to fight together.”
As Jayden talked about his worry, though, it was then that Bree walked forward. She looked at one of the members that was closest to her side, and quickly rushed forward.
Her feet were quick, and it was only then that Gary noticed that the boots that Daphne was wearing weren’t exactly normal.
They were similar to the whip that Olivia used, or the Axes that Innu now used. They were beast weapons, carved from the ancient monsters and using the crystal.
It was why she was able to move so fast. Eventually, she had reached Roy.
He went to kick, but she quickly spun her body and her hand was placed on top of Roy’s head. At that moment, Roy had stopped moving.
The other Zodiac member closest, William, decided to rush forward. Daphne let go of Roy, and suddenly Roy moved, lifting his large chicken-like leg.
It crashed into the center of William’s stomach and flung him until he hit the cage.
“What is happening?” Vico, another of the Zodiacs, asked. “Is Roy working for the Bree Family?”
“I said from the beginning the sides weren’t even, so I’m just trying to make them a bit more even.” Daphne said with a smile, with Roy hanging over her shoulder. His eyes unfocused, not looking like himself.
Gary and the rest of his friends had no clue what had just happened.
“What did she just do?” Gary asked.
A different fear was running through the group because they just witnessed something they didn’t understand.
