Chapter 37: Turf war

In the town of Slough there was an unwritten rule concerning the area where Gary lived When the sun went down, that hen the underworld cas and more would roam the streets

If Gary hadn’t told hisat Tom’s, who lived in a more affluent area, then she would be worried out of herhim off by their apartment as well

As a fors, Gary had needed to learn not only where their own territories were, but also what territories belonged to which colour gang as well as which areas were the e that the entire town, except for a few key areas, had been divided in so s claimed for their own, had left quite the bitter aftertaste in his mouth

It had been vitaly important to memorise the safest route as it was rarely the h a bunch of different territories to reach his destination It was safe to say that he had been quite good at his job, which hy he had never failed a delivery until that day

‘At least I got this strange systeht to hi his green hair, not that it stood out a all the other punks that were currently out on the streets After all, he had chosen that hair colour for that reason specifically

Still, for what he was about to do, he needed towhat s fro the store, he searched for an unoccupied alley and started to rip the them fully Once he was done, Gary headed towards a certain area of town

It didn’t take hiraffiti on the wall that hadappeared to have just recently been tagged over with red paint This was the sa ownershi+p over this area

Gary closed his eyes and concentrated on his ears All his senses had been sharpened ever since he woke up with the Werewolf Syste carefully, he could hear the sounds of soh he was unable to hear exactly what they said, he didhis eyes he walked in the direction the sounds caht But for the red colour gang to have spread this far out into the black colour gang’s territory and to do it so brazenly… Surely they should know that the black colour gang works for the Underdogs… are they just brave, stupid… or do they actually have the backing of sooons?’ Gary thought as he stepped out

“Hey, this ain’t your territory! Do you really think you should be doing that?” Gary asked, his heart beating louder with every word he spoke Just as he had heard, there were three of the a spray can in theyet another wall, but as for the others, Gary had no clue what type of weapons theyadults looked at each other for a second and started to laugh The one closest to Gary, who also happened to be the largest anated as the lookout, ca at Gary, sure that the height difference would play out in his favour, but the high schooler was able to duck the first punch

‘Luckily, I used Charging Heart as soon as I entered the alleyway Were those gang ht I would need to taunt the, a chance to attack, so he quickly kicked the first person right in the sto in

The ain he could have finished off the first member, but instead he decided to turn around and run

‘I can’t underestimate them, and I can’t let them see my face clearly! There’s three of them and only one of me’ He reminded himself as he widened the distance, but at the saaway, the red coloured gangafter Gary Three members soon became six, then nine The first three hadn’t exactly kept quiet,others notice them and join in the chase

The sheer nurow, reassured Gary that he had ht If he had been caught up with the first three, then there was a good chance the others would have joined and eventually outnu, with Gary’s bri a type of Altered who had even won a fight in the arena, he would have decided to fight the three of theed to defeat fiveto Xin, he felt hue souy, he’s not fast but he isn’t slowing down!” One of the Red gang members huffed as they continued to chase

Gary couldn’t deny that fact, not when his systeured was linked to his speed Even after using Charging Heart his running wasn’t e person’s Fortunately, he more than made up for that in the stamina departy bar

Eventually, Gary arrived at his destination, a park with an open platfor his sensitive ears he could hear what he had been hoping for

“I need help! Red colour gang has coht us!” Gary shouted out loud

It was only then, that the dozen or so red coloured gangGary all the way into an entirely different area, one that was under stricter control of the black coloured gang A group of black coloured gang out spot was already present and quickly surrounded the trespassers
