Chapter 789 A Tough Face off (Part 1)
Xin heard a voice that wasn"t familiar, but there was a big clue in his words. When he talked about school, she could only think about the high school she had gone to.
Who would have had a grudge against her, though? There were many of the girls that disliked her, but she couldn"t imagine the boys getting in her way, and a grudge from so long ago.
"Hey, I don"t think you chose the right person," Xin replied as she got up off the floor and brushed off her clothes. She had changed from her elegant dress she was wearing and was now dressed in sporty clothes, with jogging bottoms and a stretchy sports jumper.
If she couldn"t find any clues to Gary or those in the Howlers, she had planned to go for a run.
"The right person? I"m pretty sure you"re the one I"ve been looking for, Xin," the hooded man said again.
One of the men by the side swung a baton, hitting the hooded figure and sending sparks all over his body. There was no reaction from him, not even a small whimper.
Grabbing the baton, the hooded man quickly hit the man, and he went flying through the air, landing on the ground. Following his fall, the street was filled with screams as people started to run away at the sight of what was going on. At the same time, the other Howlers members that were on the street started to head in the direction of where people were running from, trying to deal with the issue.
"That"s right, sir, I believe it"s the same person that attacked us at Notsburg!" One of the Howlers gang members shouted on the phone.
The hooded man lunged from his position, heading straight for the one on the phone. The other gang members had surrounded the street, making a sort of circle, but they were too far to get involved, and now anti-altered weapons wouldn"t work. They weren"t quite sure what was going on.
The man on the phone panicked upon seeing the hooded figure, but that"s when Xin dived right in. She avoided the punch to the side, twisted her foot from below, and threw a devastating uppercut, hitting the man right in the chin. His whole head and body flew back, lifting off the ground. When he landed on the floor, his hood fell back, revealing his face. He had streaks of gelled-back bright blonde hair. His face looked like that of a young adult, a little rough around the edges, and under his eyes, there were bags.
"When I said you got the wrong person, I didn"t mean I"m not who you think you are, but I"m not an easy target like you might have first thought. I am not just the rookie Champion but the next person to get into the top fifty of the AFC," Xin declared.
Now that her opponent had her hood off, she took a closer look at who he was. He certainly had a familiar feeling to him, but at the same time, it wasn"t someone she instantly recognized. If they did bear a grudge, wouldn"t she have noticed him straight away?
Before Xin could act, the rest of the Howlers members brought out their long-ranged Anti-Alter weapons and fired bolts into Gil on the ground, a large shock hitting him, nearly three times bigger than before. Sparks were even hitting the floor next to him.
"Hahaha!" The hooded man laughed and got up off the floor as if nothing had happened. "Of course, I never expected you to know me; we hardly met after all, only caught a glimpse of each other now and again. But you are quite important to me because I can tell that you are important to someone else."
"Do you know a Gary Dem?"
During this time while speaking, the hooded man was still getting shocked, and it had no effect on him. He didn"t even stutter as he spoke.
"I know you know him; I have been following Gary Dem"s movements for a while, gathering information on him. Unfortunately, someone else bears a bigger grudge against him than I do, so I will leave that to him!"
Xin clicked her fingers as it came to her.
"Your Bil! I saw you on the rugby team!"
"Gil!" Gil corrected her instantly with a sharp tone in his voice.
"So Gil, you"re attacking me because you think it will upset Gary. What the heck did he do to you? Did he score against you, get you kicked off the team or what?" Xin replied.
Gil thought back to what happened to him. When he met Gary, the look in his eyes, the fear he could feel that something was going to happen to him, as if he was going to be eaten. He had even attempted to stab that monster, to get rid of him on the spot, yet it did nothing. He was a true monster disguised in human skin, and Gil, in the end, had to join a gang for protection over it. His life had taken a deep turn. He would have just continued to enjoy playing sports if he had never met up with Gary.
As time went by, he had built up in his head, that everything had occurred because of his involvement with one person.
"That doesn"t matter because I"m going to get rid of you, just like I did those other mutts before!" Gil shouted, and his body started to transform. His large size was growing even bigger, casting a shadow over Xin. All of the protruded objects in his body from the anti-altered weapons fell to the ground. Gil was one of the others who had received the Mythical type infected solution, and it wasn"t going to be an easy fight for Xin.
