My Werewolf System

Chapter 619 A Buyout (Part 1)

After the first woman had come over to thank Gary personally, it started a chain reaction, causing more and more of the residents to come over. All of them praised the teenager for what he had done for them. They hadn't seen him in a while and felt like they might never get the chance to see im again.

"I won't have to be cold this winter because of you!"

"My toilet finally works, it flushes properly and I don't have to punch my crap down the toilet anymore!" Another resident shouted, with some onlookers staring toward him for sharing something a bit to personal.

"Without having to worry about any rent increases in the future, I can finally put that money I had saved up to splurge a little on myself. Thank you for letting me live my life a little more stress-free."

Gary Dem, the 'Business Tycoon of Slough', had bought up the entire building. 'He' hadn't stopped there either, as the entire area was now under his name. Learning about the fact that someone had been buying up the buildings where the less fortunate citizens of Slough lived, the residents had naturally been weary, but Old Man Mortem, Gary's previous landlord managed to figure out who the real person was responsible for all of this, since the name had to be signed over and there was a condition in the sale, that Old Man Mortem was to be a caretaker of sorts.

After the buyout, many small changes took place, but it had a big impact on the residents. On top of that, many had seen the program of Gary on TV, learning the fact that he had become an Altered.

Before that, they had wondered about old landlord's theory about Gary being responsible for this improvement of life, after all where would he have gotten that money. Now, however, seeing him introduced as a rookie from the AFA about to appear in the AFC, it started to make sense. They didn't really know how Altered made money, or how much they made, but among the locals it was common sense that Altered were rich, or at least the ones behind them were. Even though this wasn't true for every Altered it wasn't common knowledge.

"What is happening? Why are all the people thanking him?" Spring asked.

"I don't know, I thought it was just because they thought he was a celebrity, you know being an Altered from the AFA and all, but that doesn't seem to be the case. They sound like he helped them out personally?" Tyson said.

"Did he help them all out before he was part of the AFA?" Clem wondered.

After allowing them to all say their thanks, and capturing it on the TV camera, Elanor was happy with the results so far. They were ready to move, but it was at that moment that Gary noticed something. While the grown-ups had wanted to say their thanks, the children were playing with sticks, and some looked bored, not having anything to do.𝙛𝒓𝙚e𝚠𝐞𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝗲𝚕. c𝚘𝓶

At the same time, some of them even looked hungry. In the end, Gary had only solved a small part of the problem.

He remembered there were many days when he had pretended to have eaten over at Tom's so that his sister could eat her fill.

"Elanor, the money I'll get paid at the end of the week, would it be ok to get it in advance?" Gary requested.

The woman could see what Gary was looking at, but she had to make sure what he meant, she wanted to get his words on camera.

"Well, it's not exactly the norm to pay any of you before your work is over, but we can always make an exception. Is there any particular reason you want it now?" Elanor asked, leading him to answer in the best possible way.

"I… want to feed everyone here. I've noticed that many of the children look hungry. These days I get to eat as much as I want thanks to the AFA, but I still remember the days when there was only so much my mother brought home. I want to treat everyone here to a free meal… and if I have some money leftover, maybe get some gifts for the kids. I promise that I'll finish the 7-day program without fail." Gary answered.

The others had overheard this, and they couldn't believe it. To feed everyone here and buy the children gifts… this was guaranteed to use up his entire payment. In the best case, he might have a little cash left over, but more than likely he would be left with nothing.

"I would be a monster to deny your request if that's what you want to do with it, but I need to make sure. Are you certain that you want to spend your payment in such a fashion?" Elanor questioned.

"Of course." Gary answered without hesitation.

With a few taps on her phone, she wired the money to Gary's account. The next moment he went over to Old Man Mortem and asked him to contact all the residents and treat them to a meal. Should any money be left over, he was to purchase some gifts for the children.

"Gary… are you sure that man isn't just going to keep the money to himself, how can you just trust him with such a large amount?" Clem asked.

If people knew who Gary really was, not a single person would attempt to take his money. There was no need for that, though, Mortem had helped out their family more than once, not to mention the Howlers had paid for more than the market price when buying the Apartments off Mortem, who thought it was all Gary's money in the first place.

"Let's hurry and go to my apartment and get out of here, before the others find out." Gary said.
