Chapter 372: Crazy

Gary had already received this type of reaction before fro that, but now he felt like it made no sense The only reason he could think of for them to act like this was because of the words that had just co?” Gary eventually asked, a little puzzled by the situation “Is it really that surprising to hear that I’ht it would be fine to mention that in a place like this I mean, it’s not like I’m the only one, nor are the Howlers active in any of your towns”

None of the three really answered his question, so the green haired teenager looked towards Izzy who had been the most talkative up until now This aard silence continued for a few aze alone continued to put pressure on the teenage girl until she eventually said soainst you personally, but… well, you should understand that the relationshi+p between gangs and businesses is… ‘complicated’ to say the least They prettynowadays

“What businesses are allowed to operate in their ‘area’, how high the ‘protection fee’ is, and other things that only ever really benefits one side I'angaction could spell disaster for us and our families The sad reality is that all they’ve built up until now could cru reed hat Izzy was saying In fact, it was a s so s differently from Olivia or Damion

Adht, either The property which used to belong to the Underdogs was now in Kai’s possession, though following Gary’s will, they had leased those places back to the original owners as far as it was possible

The Howlers also charged protection fees, yet their rate was far s, and the contracts even included clauses that would allow business owners to postpone payiven month

Those were unfortunately a necessary evil to ensure that the gang members stayed loyal and could support their own families Gary could try to explain that the Howlers were better than most, but he doubted Izzy and the others would just take his word for it

“There’smembers are just… ‘different’, usually vicious, people who don’t give a damn about who they hurt, and I bet that includes the ones in here If we’re lucky, we ht meet someone who is prideful and won’t ask for help from their fa ang are the sa ed one of theirs, the whole gang will go againstthat is clearly bigger than theirs, those who are deathly loyal will still risk their lives Now that we know that you’re in a gang, it certainly explains how you were able to do those things before so…easily”

Gary understood that she was referring to, how he had broken Ian’s leg and clawed at the others There had been next to no hesitation in the Werewolf’s strikes, and it was because he had already fought with his life on the line multiple tihting experience had been far more limited and curated

“Should I keep it to myself, then?” Gary asked “If other people ask round is, I mean Should I just lie and tell them that soreen haired teenager wasn't so sure about, because the whole point of co here had been to become a famous Altered, one that the Howlers could actively support

“No, it's best if you're honest about that” Izzy shook her head “I'ather infor is actually advantageous for you None of those from Tier-3 toill bother tothemselves

“Heck, even those fro into trouble with you, unless they have big connections Don’t rely on h There is so e you, maybe just see what you’re like or what type you are

“After all, you ’s Altered, but it's not like that auto in here It's not like your the leader who can declare a gang war on the Howlers’ behalf”
