Chapter 989 The Leader Is Here? Harvor had entered the VIP room, a place that should have been off-limits to any guests apart from those who were registered to enter. It was the expected rules of such an establishment. Of course, there was one person to whom these rules didn’t apply, and that was Harvor. This was his city, this was his arena, and no one could say no to him. Gary could recognize the presence of him immediately, and his looks due to him being the champion of the AFC. The man had walked in with only a jacket with sleeves covered in purple and the rest of it white. It was left open, allowing his chiseled abs to show through. This was a man meant to be in his fifties but looked like he was still in his prime around thirty or so. He was practically the poster boy for why everyone wanted to be an Altered. If this was something that had happened before Gary got involved in all of this mess, he would have been completely star-struck, as he was one of the biggest fans of the AFC. “Wow, I can’t believe it!” Gary said. “It’s Harvor Ego, the AFC champion—my heart, it’s beating so fast!” “Erghh, I think you might be speaking out loud without thinking too much,” Xin said, wanting to remind him of his place. “Haha! I didn’t realize you had brought guests—my apologies for interrupting,” Harvor said as he entered the room regardless and had brought in a man whose head resembled that of a pineapple. It was quite narrow at the top, with the top pointed. There were only the two of them in the room as the doors closed behind them. “I just wanted to see my fellow friend here before the match, you know, to calm the nerves,” Harvor said. The way Harvor was naturally speaking, the relaxed manner he was in—all of it was annoying Xin. In a couple of hours, he was meant to be fighting her brother. Yet, the man was right here in front of her, messing around. “Hey, do you mind if I take a photo?” Gary asked as he handed his phone over, which was shaking slightly. ‘Gary, what are you doing? You’re not a fan, you’re a King. If Kai were here right now, he would be telling me to act the same as him—that the two of us were in the same position and I shouldn’t back down with my power.’ Yet before he knew it, Harvor had already taken the phone and gestured for Gary to come over. Now the two of them were side by side, as the camera flipped and they both took a photo. After the photo was taken, Harvor went to sit on the sofa. It looked like Apollo was getting ready to get up, but Harvor gestured for him to sit down as well. Meanwhile, the man who had entered with Harvor stayed standing by his side. ‘I wonder if that’s one of the Zodiacs that Apollo was talking about. It has to be for him to have a guard walking around with him.’ Now that Gary had his photo and had met with the AFC Champion, his starstruckness was dying down a little, and he was starting to think with his head straight. That, and a few times on his return, Xin had kicked him and pinched his back a few times for what he had done, and he completely understood why. On top of that, Xin was very wary of Harvor just visiting like this. Ever since Gary had trouble in Centerfield, they had done a lot more to try and change Gary’s disguise. Not only was he wearing a black wig that made his hair look like a mop, but they also gave him a fake prosthetic nose that he could place on top of his own. With the large mop-like wig covering the top of his head, it was now nearly impossible to tell who he was, which still begged the question of how Apollo could tell. Then again, Gary did do a lot of speaking, so maybe it was his voice as well. Apollo and Harvor seemed to be chatting away, which was making Gary feel at ease. There wasn’t an ulterior motive to this, at least not one that he could tell instantly. “Hey, I have a question,” Xin asked. “If it was the two of us against all of them, do you think we could take him out… especially if your friend Apollo helps?” The thought came into Gary’s mind—it was something he just didn’t think about. Right now, Harvor wasn’t the aggressor, the two gangs weren’t against each other. But maybe it would be the case in the future, especially with what he knew Harvor had done, taking out Jayden’s wife. While there was only one, possibly two, of the Zodiac guards here, maybe with just the two of them, they would be able to take him out. ‘This might be the best chance that we’ll ever get… but Jayden and Harvor haven’t even fought yet, is it something that I should do?’ Gary’s mind was going through a number of possible scenarios, and at this point, he was wondering what Kai would do. If it was Kai, he perhaps thought he would give it a go. After taking out Harvor, with Austin and the others, they could make for a quick escape. Gary’s eyes were focused on the back of Harvor’s laughing head. ‘Would it be that easy?’ While looking through, he saw Harvor raise his hand. “Oh, sorry for ignoring the two of you. I just realized, I recognize you, Xin—you were in the AFC as well, right? “I do keep my eye on the upcoming newcomers, but I noticed something else as well… I believe you and Jayden are siblings, right?” Harvor slowly turned his head around and smiled right at Xin.
