It wasn't everyday that someone from a tier-2 city would come down to tier-3 town, especially in a place like Slough to offer some money, so it was safe to say that Kai was intrigued. “That's no small amount.” Kai calmly said. “10 million to be exact, which I'm sure would be able to do a lot for a gang like yours.” The man smiled as he closed the suitcase. He could see that he had already caught Kai’s attention. ‘These tier-3 places are all the same.’ The man thought. This certainly would solve their problems, but only for a short while. It wasn't a permanent solution. Maybe for other gangs, who weren't looking to grow out of their own boots, it was life changing money, and especially for those that would spend the money on themselves. Which is why he could see other gangs snapping at the opportunity. “For that amount of money, I’m sure the task is not a small one.” Olivia added. “No, no, please it should be fairly simple for you guys, at least based on my research. The Howlers from Slough rose up from nowhere and dominated the Underdogs with sheer strength. Usually a takeover of a place, even a tier-3 town, would be slow, which just goes to show the wit and strength you guys have. “And that is why we have come to you. Because we want to use your strength to take care of a problem.” Kai was starting to understand the gist of what was being proposed. They wanted the Howlers to be the muscle. It was quite common for higher gangs to do this when they didn't want to use their own men, or when it was just easier to act behind the scenes. In truth, Kai was just thankful that this didn't seem to have anything to do with the Underdogs, when that time came, he would have to kick everything up into high gear. “I find it hard to believe that there is something we can do that your gang isn’t capable of, what's the catch?” Olivia asked. Kai was glad, that of all the people, he had Olivia by his side, because she was asking the same questions as he would have done, although at times Kai wasn't blunt enough, where Olivia was able to be. “Money isn't something that is important to us, but we know it means a lot to others.” The man answered. “I’ll cut to the chase. The target is a tier-3 city, close to Slough, but it's not a gang but a business instead. All you need to do is disrupt their business a bit. “Get in the way of some of their shipments, burn a few warehouses down, it's up to you how creative you want to get. Of course, doing these things you might get targeted, or there might be some guards that you will have to deal with, which is what the payment is for. There’s no reward without a bit of risk.” Honestly, Kai thought the offer was quite fair, and since it didn't involve any killing, maybe it was something that even Gary would allow, but it did make him wonder. What had a company done that managed to annoy a tier-2 city like Notsburg? “What is the name of the company and what did they do? I would hate to do the same thing as they did and offend you guys as well.” Kai said. “That’s not really part of your business and you know that, even if you did phrase it like that.” The man replied. “The company is Cardenez Electronics.” Kai was silent for a while before eventually giving an answer. “I'm sorry, even though I said we could make the decision, for something like this I would have to speak to our leader about it. You see, our own gang is in our growing phase here and there is quite a bit of trouble here and there. I can give you an answer by the end of the day, and if you don't hear a call from me. I'm sorry but we can't accept.” A few moments later, the man from Notsburg was on his way out. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶 “Are you really going to ask Gary about this?” Olivia asked. “Nah, that was just my excuse to get him out of here, and a way out of this deal. They seem like the type to bear a grudge against those that don’t do what they say. For now, I plan to watch this interesting development and see how things go. “Maybe a big opportunity will come out of this.” Kai smiled. —— It was time once again for Gary to head back, head back to the academy. With the next full moon further away than before, he could enjoy his time here in peace, and he could always head back when the full moon was due as well. On top of that, his one and only Xin Clove also went to the academy. ‘I wonder if I can meet her again. I won't be so out of it this time, and maybe we can leave from where we left off.’ Gary still had the picture of Xin kissing him before leaving fresh in his head. Currently, Gary was riding the bus, it was a long distance away but he was one of the few people on the bus. Once he reached the main city, then he needed to switch onto another bus that would take one to the academy. Just as he was at his stop to exchange buses, he got on the one that headed directly to the academy. All Gary needed to do was show his ID to the bus driver. When getting on, Gary was expecting it to be empty but there was one person sitting at the back staring out the window. “No way, what are you doing here?” Gary asked. “Gary…I guess you're heading back to the academy as well.” Numba replied. “Yeah, I didn't know you left, what did you leave for?” Gary asked. “I… Just had some family stuff to deal with.” ****** MWS Webtoon is now at 19 Chapters, be sure to check it out, and see all the characters come to life.
