Chapter 477 Changing Slough
Chapter 477 Changing Slough
Tyler was unable to close his mouth, but he didn’t even care that saliva was dropping on his clothes. He had been prepared that things might go a little crazy, especially after what had happened on their way back from the auction, but this was on another level. If someone had told him hours ago he would be a front row witness to the brutal murder of his own mayor, he would have called that person.
‘That's… there is no stopping this now. We have long passed the point where the Howlers can be considered just a small group, and I was simply a driver. I ignored everything that was happening because I trusted that Gary was a good guy, but this Kai… I can’t deal with this.’
Dragging his face with his fingers, gathering his resolve to tell Kai that he wishes to quit after this, he noticed that one more person was no longer on the rooftop. Looking around, he noticed that the other members had looks of confusion on their faces as well. They were just as surprised by Kai’s actions, not quite understanding why he would use such an approach with the mayor, but before they had a chance to question him in any way, the Howlers’ vice leader had already jumped off the roof.
The blonde teenager had purposely let a few seconds pass, before following behind their still tied up hostage.
“Catch my shoes!” Kai shouted flinging them off and transforming into his Werewolf self, he used his powerful legs to, kick off the building to give himself an extra boost, allowing him to catch up to the mayor who was praying to all deities to save him from certain death.
Kai used his transformed hand to stab through the flab of the mayor’s back, making sure to get a strong grip. Ben screamed in pain, unable to understand what was happening in his panic. Blood was dripping from his back, and he experienced a tingling feeling throughout his entire body.
Kai's head was still mostly normal. Not so much wolf, with his nose only elongated slightly, and his teeth a little sharper than it usually would be, allowing him to speak a little easier.
“Do you still think that your ideals are worth dying for? Or are you ready to talk to this ‘dumb teenager’? I promise you that this the last chance that you will get. I suggest that you open your eyes now.” Kai said with a slight muffled mouth. He sounded like there was still food left to swallow, but it was just him struggling to speak clearly with the larger teeth.
The mayor opened his eyes, only to see that he was halfway down the building and there was still quite a fall to go. His trousers were completely soaked, with a warm liquid that had come from himself.
“Do you agree to the conditions that were set out before or do you wish for us to change something. I’m ready to listen, but you better make it quick.” Kai prompted him once more.
“Whatever you want, you crazy kid, just save me first!!!” The mayor shouted. “Someone like you should be locked up!. I can’t believe someone like you is running this gang.”
Kai smiled, as he grabbed on to the rope still attached to the mayor, before he used the person as a foothold to jump towards the building. He used his claws to dig into the stone. Slowly, he carried the cursing mayor up, and eventually tossed him over, as his body reverted.
Seeing that the mayor was still alive, Tyler let out a sigh of relief, reconsidering his plan to quit. Still, he at least planned to have a talk with Kai once they were back home.
“Thank you for complying with our conditions, but I just need to correct you on one thing. I'm not the leader, just remember that.” Kai stated, as they all left the rooftop. He untied the mayor, but he had no plans of giving him a lift. As an Altered, he didn’t worry about not making it back, and it some cardio couldn’t hurt the adult.
“Olivia, get someone to repair the walls of this building. We are the ones that need to start looking after this city, we can’t just leave a mess behind.” Kai ordered.

The next day, Kai sat down in the basement of the Wolf’s Pool Club, searching for the copies of his previous proposals. He was eager to see if the mayor would be stupid enough to deny them again. It was easy enough to really understand the applications they had previously sorted but Kai also knew that they needed to do something bigger than this to get Slough up and running and to give it a new life.
‘I should probably contact that electronic company. Now if we were to get in contact with them, they showed interest last time.’
In the end, there was no harm in trying, so Kai went ahead and decided to make contact. It didn’t take long to get a reply back, and a meeting was set, but there was one more condition that had been set springily.
‘I see…so they want to meet the actual leader of the Howlers, I guess it's time to contact Gary, and see if he’s up for it.’ Kai thought.

Currently Ben was in his office, he had healed up from the fight that had occurred but he wasn’t so sure if he would ever recover from that horrifying experience. His hands were constantly clenching, his back was hurting every time he thought about what had happened.
“Soon everyone will be taking about the Howlers, when it was meant to be my time to shine! I worked so hard for so long, and now this!” Ben shouted at the top of his voice. He was huffing and panting and his face was a studio red as he said these words.
Eventually, he had calmed down somewhat as he sat in his seat, and looked at the envelopes that were in front of him, the proposals by the Howlers.
‘Fine, I will play along with your games for now, and do as you request, but don’t think I will take it lying down. There is still something that I can do. You gang members think you are a strong, the new rising group.
‘Well, let’s see how strong you are when you have to face an experienced Altered!’ The mayor inwardly smiled as he began writing an email addressed to his son.
