Chapter 155: Secret out!
Chapter 155: Secret out!
Straight away, as soon as the container door at the very back was opened, the smell wafted into Gary’s nose. When he turned his head, he could see a person standing outside with the door open.
What was worse though, just like in the pool club, Gary could smell blood.
‘No…no… not again! Why am I always too late!’ Gary blamed himself.
There were still plenty of Grey colour members left standing, but seeing this, Gary’s feet were already moving before his mind had done. He started to run towards the container and at the same time Buffin couldn’t quite comprehend what was happening.
“What the f*ck is wrong with you guys? You can’t even handle one person! Why is it taking you so long?”
At that moment, one of the members had swung another wooden plank towards Gary in his path. He swung it like a baseball bat, and Gary covered his head with his arms. The plank snapped but didn’t slow him down at all.
He was like a cannonball, determined with only one thing in his sight. For some reason, this sight, and the person’s eyes in front of him, scared him.
Once again, Gary was experiencing his Heart rate naturally rise on its own.
[You have exceeded 200 BPM]
[Partial transformation has begun]
[All stats increased by 125%]
Buffin had attempted to close the door. There was an iron lock on the other side, but as he tried to swing it close, Gary leapt and reached it just in time, holding the handle.
“Where do you think you’re going!” Gary said as he used his strength to pull it open and kicked Buffin onto the ground.
Quickly, seeing that the others were still behind him. Gary closed the door, and moved the iron bolt lock. Seconds later and constant banging was heard on the outside. It rang constantly but this was a metal container.
Perhaps they could get in eventually, but he knew it would take some time. Turning around, that’s when Gary could see Marie.
She had been held up, and her mouth was swollen, blood still dripping from it. Hearing all the noise, it looked like she had woken up from the pain she was in. Then, lifting her head, she could see a strange masked boy.
At first, she didn’t know who it was, but that’s when she could see green hair sticking out the top.
“Yob bifot!” Marie smiled and tried to say, but her swollen busted up lip, and her mouth swollen, it was hard to say.
It looked like after the other two had left, Buffin had been punching Marie even more. The tape had been ripped from her mouth, and he had warned her not to scream or shout, but Marie didn’t listen, and every time she had spoken out, he had slapped her across the face once after another, until she had learnt her lesson.
“Did you F*cking do this!” Gary shouted.
Buffin had already gotten up from the ground, and threw out a kick.
“I’m not like those losers outside!” Buffin said.
Seeing Marie in the state she was in, even now he could see that her eyes winded. She knew that the grey colour gang leader had to have been strong, they would only be a little less when compared to some leaders of the Grey Elephants, in terms of ability.
Seeing the one kick, it seemed like that was the case as well, and Gary knew it.
‘If I fight this guy head on…it actually might be a hard fight, so I have one chance…and…’ Gary stopped clenching his fist and opened up his hand, swinging it again. ‘I want to hurt this person as much as possible!’
[Skill activated Claw Drain]
[-15 Energy]
[42/120 Energy]
Instead of using his hand to block the kick, Gary went to swipe and attack it instead. Once again with his hands transforming in the middle. The nails scratched the leg and great pain was felt on Buffin.
[+ 5HP]
In that instant, Gary dashed forward, and slashed at Buffin’s chest and was now on top of him.
[+ 5HP]
“You’re an Altered! I’m sorry, I didn’t-“ Buffin tried to yell, but before he could finish, a third swipe had quickly come across, hitting his face, slightly slicing his cheek and tongue. At that point, the transformation had ended.
[You have defeated the grey colour gang leader]
[200 Exp gained]
[368/1228 Exp]
Gary looked at the leader beneath him. The masked teenager was huffing and panting, he wasn’t sure if in his fit of rage he had done it again, but it didn’t look like it. While using his sharp claws, he had been careful and had only cut open part of the cheek and tongue, nothing else.
Buffin had simply passed out from shock. It was then that Gary looked up, and there he could see Marie in front of him, her eyes widened as much as they could. Even though they were swollen, she had seen everything.
She had seen Gary transform his hands into claws, even if only briefly.
“Gawrn you’re an acted?” Marie barely managed to blurt out, but honestly she didn’t care about that. She didn’t care about what he was, she was just happy that she saved him at that moment.
The banging on the container hadn’t stopped, and standing up, Gary turned around.
“
“I’m sorry, Marie, that they did this to you… I’m sorry that I wasn’t here earlier… there’s still a lot of those guys outside, so I’m going to need you to wait just a little longer. I promise you’re going to be okay.”
Hearing these words, she thought that Gary sounded a little cheesy, but she couldn’t quite believe it, for some reason staring at his back right now, it looked so large, and she thought he looked a little cool.

Outside, Kai had gone out to deal with the twins like he said he would, while both Innu and Austin continued to stop anyone from getting close, and they had done a good job knocking out another five members.
They had been hit and quite bruised themselves, but they weren’t going to fall, and now the grey colour members had lowered dramatically, but what was even more impressive to them all, was what Kai had done.
Only a few minutes had passed, yet he made it out victorious. What’s more, there wasn’t a single mark on his face. His hair blowing in the wind, while the two twins were on the ground.
‘I couldn’t see everything properly because I was too busy dealing with the others…but he clearly managed to beat both those twins at the same time.’ Austin was wondering if he could do the same, and honestly he wasn’t too sure. He didn’t doubt his ability to defeat them, doing so unharmed, though, was a tall ask.
‘This guy…he’s a monster.’ Leng thought as he was struggling to get up. After this short confrontation, they were convinced that they couldn’t beat the person in front of them. They had failed once again, and it was all because of these people.
It was then that Leng looked at his brother and started to reach into his pocket. Seeing this, the other reciprocated the action.
Kai became wary, expecting them to take out some type of weapon. However, the brothers did something surprising, distancing themselves from the blonde teenager. While Kai was unable to make up his mind who to attack, both of them pulled out the small box and the syringe inside.
Without any hesitation, they injected themselves with the strange substance.
