The first thought that came to Gary’s mind when asked the question was how to get stronger. He had grown leaps and bounds, and although he would play a big part in this Alpha against Alpha fight, it was the entire group that would need to be involved at the end of the day. The first idea that had come to his mind was growing the Pack’s numbers. With the new Alpha bite, there was a much higher chance of turning individuals, and there were plenty that would be happy to be turned and take part in the upcoming fight. The system now allowed him more Pack rules, allowing him greater control over the pack with less worry as to how to deal with any troublesome Werewolves. But as Kai said, would a numbers game win? Joining up with the Altered Hunters also would increase their numbers, that was if they could even join them in the first place. Then there was the obvious plan that they were already going with, that was to wait until they had a Luna and see what benefits that would bring to the gang. They could maybe use this to their advantage in some way. Yet, Lupus already had a Luna, so would it really give them the strength to best their group? Regardless, Gary would wait until Xin had officially become the Luna. ’Increasing the pack numbers shouldn’t take long. They did it during the war with Sin. Although I got a gift from the Dark Guild, there is a high chance that Lupus and his gang have multiple weapons like this as well,’ Gary went and touched his new earring. ’Yet, there is one thing that I could do that would at least increase my strength.’ [Class Upgrade Quest available] ’But the quest itself, it would be impossible for me to complete. It’s maybe more impossible than even fighting against Lupus.’ "What about calling on help from Rickle and your dad," Austin said. "And even the White Rose. We have a good connection with them now, right? It took all of us in the first place to take Harvor down." "Can’t we do the same against Lupus?" Austin asked. "I… don’t think so," Tom shyly said. "Rickle, he really seems like the type of person to get involved, only if he thinks he has to. He’s not a person that we can ask for help. With Harvor, there looked to be a bigger interest himself." "I don’t know about your father, but you could give it a try." Gary thought about it for a while, but he had made a firm decision on that. "As much as I think he should be involved in all of this, I don’t want him to be," Gary answered. "He did a lot to get away from all of this, and it’s his own brother, my own uncle. There’s a lot of history involved in this. I don’t think he will have a clear mind when making these types of decisions." "Although Lupus is technically my uncle, I have no connection to him, unlike my father, and honestly, although he hasn’t been in my life, I don’t want to lose my father." The mood was heavy, and now Austin felt somewhat bad for even bringing up the suggestion. "But then what about the White Rose?" Xin said. "Wouldn’t it be in their best interest to take down Lupus as well? There are still plenty of strong individuals at White Rose." Discover stories at freewebnovel "They’re tied up," Kai answered. "Same with NIRV, in this heavy attack against Altereds. They’re being affected as well. A lot of countries are pulling funding from all over the place. For them, taking out the Lupus Gang, depending on how it was done, might do them more harm than good." "Although we are closer to them than most, you have to remember they have their own organization, and if they had it their way, they would also take us out of the picture." There were large sighs in the entire room, as no one wanted to make the first move on their own. No one wanted to lose anything, but they knew that they had to do something because just waiting was bad for them as well. "So there’s two issues anyway, right?" Gary said. "One is whether or not the Altered Hunters would even work with us? As for the second issue, it’s knowing the Lupus Gang’s strength." "Then is there some way that we can get in contact with the Altered Hunters? Or can’t we just get in contact with Innu and Blake?" Kai opened his mouth to say something, but he quickly stopped himself as he thought about it. "I have tried to get in contact with them. I imagine they are quite busy, fighting alongside the rest of the Hunters," Kai eventually said. "But if we could, they should be able to give us an idea of the strength of the Lupus gang." "So it’s simple then, right?" Ice spoke for the first time. "Head to Ruin city. It’s a city just like any other city, right? There are citizens; there shouldn’t be much fighting happening in open spaces." "You will be able to go inside and find some way to meet your friends." Now that a solution had been brought up, it did feel quite easy. "Sneaking right into enemy territory… that sounds very dangerous," Marie said. "Right, and we can smell each other as well," Gary answered. "We can tell we’re from a different pack. So Austin and Ice might be the only two that can go, but I wouldn’t want them to go on their own… I want to see Lupus myself as well." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞 "Oh… if it’s about the smell, maybe I could do something," Tom said, raising his hand sheepishly. ***** For updates on MWS and future works, please remember to follow me on my social media below.
