My Werewolf System

Chapter 831 A Cold Chill

Chapter 831  A Cold Chill

Walking around the prison, Gary knew where he was heading, where he would find this person known as Ice. While looking for Blackjack, he had actually stumbled upon the area before.

The prison was essentially split into three different areas: North, South, and the middle section where large steps, which worked as seating areas for the prison, resided. This was where Stinger and his group would reside as well.

However, everyone at night would have to go down through the hallways and cross paths to head to their rooms, which were stationed all over the area. It was during this time when most fights would occur as everyone headed back to their rooms, and those from different groups would end up in a scuffle.

Before, it was a little difficult for Gary to move, but now as he was heading through the North side, the members seemed to ignore him.

‘I guess after what I did with Stinger, and that other guy, the other groups are less likely to get involved with me. It’s alright for now… but I need to attack them eventually, because I need to get exp and level up from the system,’ Gary thought to himself.

The reason why he was entering the North side was because there was a certain hallway that was chillier than others. When just walking past, a cool breeze could be felt on one’s skin, giving them the shivers.

This was all due to a certain individual, the man known as Ice. Gary stepped through the cold hallway and started to make his way down, and this didn’t go unnoticed by the North Gang. The news had quickly spread until it had eventually reached Calvin’s ears.

“So, the new guy is heading to Ice, are they looking to face each other?” Calvin said to himself. “This is an interesting development. I thought for sure Carter would be the one to start the big bang that went off in this prison.”

“Maybe this is a result of his actions, but this might be a good time to get one of them on our side. Whoever is badly hurt in this match, we can bring them over, just like we did with Stinger.”

“Keep a close eye on what’s happening.”

As Gary walked deeper down the hallway, the chillier it got. The sides of the concrete walls were covered in frost. What was even more apparent was the other prisoners that were in their cells.

Ice wasn’t the only one that stayed here; there were other prisoners as well. They had to suffer through the cold, with chattering teeth. In a way, it was a sacrifice they had to make.

Gary recognized that these people weren’t a part of the three main gangs. Staying here, near the man named Ice, meant they were under protection.

Gary delved deeper until he had reached the end, the last cell on the right, its doors held right open, the bottom of the door encased in ice, as if the door was never shut.

In a way, it showed how much power Ice had; even the guards didn’t bother to close his door at night—it was an impossible task in the first place.

Walking in, Gary could see the large man, with broad shoulders and rounded muscles, a giant in a lot of senses, just sitting on the ground rather than lying on his bed.

“The Green-haired one, I have heard a lot about you,” Ice said, looking up. “I have done nothing to anger you or be involved with you, so why are you here?”

Ice wasn’t baring his teeth, nor was he on the attack straight away. This felt a little difficult for Gary because for once, he needed to be the one that initiated the attack.

“I heard you’re strong,” Gary said. “Strength is something I need because I’m looking to get out of this place.”

“Strength is something you need?” Ice replied. “Are you looking to prove yourself by fighting against me, or are you asking me to join you in a useless task? I figure what you’re planning to do; you want to escape this place, but escape is impossible.”

“Don’t you want to get out?” Gary asked. “And I haven’t tried escaping myself yet, so it’s not impossible to me…”

Gary needed to convince Ice to fight him, but what if he could do so in another way.

“If I prove to you I’m strong enough to beat you, then how about it? How about you join me?” Gary asked.

“Join you, in your little breakout, or do you mean join you on the outside as well?” Ice replied.

Gary thought about it for a while before he answered.

“I need help, both inside and outside. It’s up to you what you want to do; I just wanted to make the offer. You say it’s impossible to escape; is it because our enemies, or the people here, are too strong?”

“So I have an offer: fight me, let me show you my strength, and then you can decide if they’re too strong or not, or what to do. If you want to join me in getting out of here after, then you can do so.”

Ice looked hesitant until he finally stood up from his position. It was only then that Gary noticed how tall he was, as his head almost scraped the top of the ceiling.

“You want a prisoner to join you? This is a place where people are in here for their crimes. They have backstabbed, killed, and murdered more than you know. This is not a place to work with others, and it’s the same for you as well,” Ice stated.

“The people in here, they deserve to stay in here. Everyone deserves to stay in here and never get let out; otherwise, the people will suffer.”

Gary tensed his fist; he needed to get out because people were suffering right now; he needed to stop it.

“And what about you? Is it the same for you?” Gary asked. “Aren’t you in here because of what you did?”

“Exactly right,” Ice said, his eyes shining a bright blue. “I am in here because of those I have hurt and killed. It’s best for me to stay in here so no more have to get hurt, and I will do the same to you… now that I know you’re planning to leave, I have to stop you!”
