Chapter 785 Highway trouble
The situation was tense in the main limo as the members of the Howlers were all ready for what was about to happen. They were on the attack, and it was the most straightforward plan they had ever come up with because it was Gary's order.
The Phoenix had hit them from all angles; they had secretly even attacked from the inside. Rather than playing their games and trying to pay them back in unique ways, Gary was going to head straight in and deal with the situation.
"Hey!" Midwak called out to Gary; his legs were jumping up and down. "You, you're a failure of an Alpha, you know that, right?"
The comment seemed to come out of nowhere, but then again, Midwak and Gary were never on good terms with each other.
"What are you trying to say?" Gary replied.
"I told you before," Midwak replied. "That a werewolf's strength is in its pack. In the last year or so, how many people did you end up turning… I know the answer already because it's you; it was 0, right?
"Meanwhile, I had turned five," Midwak stated.
Although only Bardo and Bardolph were coming along, Midwak had turned quite a few people. He hadn't gone crazy in the turning process because there was something that had occurred.
One of the people he had tried to turn had ended up dead. Midwak needed to be careful with who he turned because he needed them to be loyal and stay close to him.
After all, they could easily spread the news or maybe even betray them by going to the other Werewolves. Although there were pack rules, there were always secret ways to bypass them. Nothing was absolute.
"You should know, right, the larger your pack is, the stronger you are as an Alpha. Although you're stronger than me, you aren't strong enough to do this.
"The Phoenix are full of strong people. They already took me and one of your right-hand men out, and we haven't even met their leader yet. Yet here you are making this move? Your naivety to save everyone is going to get everyone else killed.
"If you had turned more people, you would have grown in strength, and then you would have had enough power to protect this gang of yours."
"Hey, will you shut up," Marie eventually gathered the nerve to say. "If you don't trust Gary so much, then why the heck are you even on this ride in the first place."
Midwak clicked his tongue as he turned away to look on the outside. There was a reason why Midwak was saying this because he didn't want to lose no matter what.
He needed Gary to see the way to get stronger, and Gary knew what Midwak was saying as well.
For each person turned, Gary gained a pawn point; the pawn points could be used to unlock skills and even give himself stat points. On top of that, he could use it to help the others' strength grow as well.
He seemed to remember as well that Kai was a special shapeshifter-type werewolf that got stronger the more Werewolves were around them, so it would be a big benefit.
Yet he was worried; the fact that a bite had the chance of killing someone, and he would be doing so to someone who was willing to help him, to someone he bore no grudge against and while he was conscious, it was a hard ask, even after everything he had gone through.
Suddenly, in the middle of his thoughts, the car slammed on the brakes. Loud screeching was coming off, and the car started to spin on its side. It wasn't just one vehicle; it was several of the others ahead and the same behind.
One of the large buses had spun on its side and managed to just stop before hitting anything.
The members started to get out of the cars, wondering what was going on, and it was the same for those ahead.
"What's going on?" Kai asked.
"Up ahead, there's a blockade," Tyler answered. "It looks like it's the police."
The Howlers started to get out of their cars one by one, along with all the others, to see the commotion, and the two hundred people with weapons and fierce looks on their faces had come out.
The police had around six cars set up. They had only a few anti-altered weapons on them and were stood behind their cars. As they saw the mass amount of people, they couldn't help but gulp.
"Hey… hey… what are we going to do if they attack?" One of the officers said. "We can't hold them all down?"
"Hello!" One of the men said through the microphone; his voice was clearly shaky and hardly able to reach the others.
That was when a man snatched the microphone out of his hand.
"Give me that," the man said and cleared his throat.
"This is an operation being conducted by the police and the special division, The White Rose!" The voice shouted.
Standing there was one of the White Rose Squad leaders, Kanu, and he wasn't alone; there was Sadie, Frank, as well as two more of the strike force members.
It was only one squad from the White Rose unit, but it was a rarity to see so many in one area.
However, they had no clue how many Altered they might be going up against if this was to turn into a full battle.
"We know you are the group known as the Howlers organization," Kanu shouted. "We have no wish to fight with any of you. We are here for one reason only, and one person only."
An uneasy feeling was growing in Kai's stomach. How did the police even know they were there? How did they manage to set up this blockade ahead of time?
"The man known as Gary Dem is to be taken in for investigation; this is an order of the White Rose!"
