Chapter 607 A Growing Gang
Although the favour had originally been requested by Gary, Kai felt like this was a huge plus to the Howlers. Even if Crowley wasn"t directly involved in the gang, having him teach the regular members on top of the Altered in their team would help them grow in strength.
It was why Kai was treating him so nicely, on top of everything he had heard this teacher had done for Gary, there was the good first impression that he had.
"Remember that you need to go to the Altered training sessions in the evening with Marie from now on." Kai said, as he sorted through several doc.u.ments that were on his table and even signed some with his signature.
"Yes, you"ve told me quite a few times, but is it really okay?" Olivia replied. "If me and Marie show our forms, won"t he notice that we are all the same type of Altered and get suspicious?"
"What do you think is more likely, for him to think we all have just taken a serum from the same type of beast, or that we are all hungry bloodthirsty werewolves that kill on a full moon." Kai replied.
Olivia had to admit that he had a point.
"Speaking of, we need to speak to Midwak and see if there is a way to better control this. We have around two weeks right, until the next turn and it will be Marie"s first. This is a problem that I didn"t predict, the fact that there are more of us that are werewolves, it also means the less there are of us that know our secret and can help keep us in place. Innu also has been off somewhere more and more lately away from the others.
"Everyone survived by the skin of their teeth the last time, and there will be one less person to help them."
There was another problem though, and that was whether or not to trust what came out of Midwak"s mouth. It was best to meet Midwak with Gary, that way he could change the pact rules to get him to tell the truth.
s.h.i.+fting through the papers, Kai came across a contract and quickly read the details.
"Will you look at this, I didn"t think they would accept our terms, but it looks like they have." Kai smiled.
"Go on, what are you so happy about?" Olivia asked, a little interested.
"Do you remember that tier-2 Entertainment company that wanted to team up with us, it looks like they have accepted our demands. AJ productions, a company that has many actors, singers, TV hosts and more under their belt.
"And as of today, the Howlers will own ten percent, while the Business Tyc.o.o.n Gary Dem will own fifty percent. Which gives us the majority control of AJ Productions."
"I didn"t know you wanted to own an entertainment company so badly. Are you obsessed with one of the celebrities they have?" Olivia asked
For the first time Kai"s face had gone red. It was a joke on Olivia"s behalf, but seeing this, it reminded her at the end of the day that although he had a mature head on his shoulders, he was a teenage boy after all.
"That"s not the reason." Kai cleared his throat. "Relations.h.i.+ps, in a way, accepting this deal is them agreeing to work with us, and for us to be the head. However, to all the other gangs this just looks like a simple business deal.
"Besides with this business deal I"m sure they can do quite a few things, but not only that. You see this deal has put Gary on the map as well. I"ve already had multiple requests with those that wish to meet Gary Dem for a chance for investment.
"In the gang world, the business world, government, and so on, connections are an important thing. All we need now is for Gary to debut and leave the academy. When he does, I"ll have set up everything for his return."
"And when will that be?" Olivia asked.
Kai shrugged his shoulders because he really didn"t have a firm date in his head.

That day though, Gary and the rest of the students would take their quarterly a.s.sessments. The teachers would be watching, looking at their results and based on them, they would decide whether or not they were ready to debut into the AFC.
Of course, Gary didn"t have much to worry about, as he was already offered this opportunity, but regardless he wanted to prove to himself and everyone else that he didn"t skip any steps and would take the a.s.sessment along with everyone else.
"Xin already had her debut match, and she was amazing. I also heard she had received multiple offers from professional teams that day. Just as she said, she"s no longer a part of the academy anymore.
"I don"t know when I will see her again, but with everything going on with me. It might be for the best that the two of us don"t see each other for a while. Otherwise, she could just be put in more danger herself." Gary thought.
The a.s.sessment had begun, and it wasn"t a game of sorts, but instead was a few different exercises that the debut students would do during their training. Everyone was to do them, trying to achieve the highest score they could and they were to do them without using their Altered forms.
It was safe to say that Gary had gotten the top score on every single activity, in second place was Apollo, behind Gary in every aspect. There were some surprises though, Numba, Izzy and Ian performed far better than anyone thought.
They had placed in the top ten in most activities, and this was thanks to them experiencing things that the others hadn"t. It had pushed them to their limit, giving them another reason to get stronger.
Finally, the a.s.sessments were over and Eddy, the teacher for the debut students, was there to announce to them all who would be part of the debut students.
"I want to first congratulate you all for improving so much, and would like to say that the results of today just mean that you aren"t ready just yet. It"s not that we don"t think you aren"t strong enough to enter the AFC, it"s that we believe that you should enter the AFC when you are at your very best.ｆ????e???ѵe?. c??
"Which is why, with regret, we are to announce that there will only be a single student this time debuting, Gary Dem."
