My Werewolf System

Chapter 768 Who Attacked us?

Due to the severity of the situation, all of the core members of the Howlers had been called. Kai, Marie, Olivia, Austin, and of course, Gary were present. Innu was still considered a core member, but contact with him was limited due to his current situation.

All of them were now traveling in the regular limo, making their way to Notsburg.

"Are those really the only details we know so far?" Marie asked. "Don't you think it's strange that someone would attack the casino, the base, but not go after the rest of the city or any of the other gang members?"

"Do you remember when Midwak attacked us?" Kai replied. His elbow was placed on the edge of the car, and he had the window open ever so slightly, just enough for two fingers to fit through.

"He attacked me at the time because he wanted to send a message," Kai explained. "It's often in cases like this that they show their power, so we see that there's no point in an all-out fight. They had managed to take out Midwak, who was a powerful ally of ours, which goes to show what type of enemy we might go up against."

At the time, Midwak had certainly shown his power. Many groups perhaps would have chosen not to fight after learning what had happened but Gary was filled with rage at the time instead.

Gary's heart was racing slightly. He remembered beating Midwak originally, and since then he had gone on to beat him a couple of times more, but each time they fought, the word "weak" would have never entered his head. He was certainly strong, and whoever took him out, it meant they were a serious enemy that they needed to consider. The real question was just who it was.

Eventually, they reached Notsburg. They pulled up at a large sized hospital. The building had several floors and had arches around with trees and greenery. It was one of the best hospitals in Notsburg.

"Did you guys have to build everything in Notsburg so flashy?" Austin asked.

"You have to admit, it does fit the scenery," Olivia replied. "With all the flashy casinos and the flashy billboards, the hospital fits in."

Entering the hospital, the group did so with their masks, and the staff surprised them by being quite polite, bowing down. There were also several gang members in suits, all of them wearing the same colors as the Howlers, black and gold. At first, since the gangs in Notsburg were made up from the remnants of the old gang and mostly followed Midwak, they were against it, but as the Howlers became a bigger name, wearing the uniform had become their pride, and in turn, they had learned to greatly respect the leader of the Howlers. After all, they were their bosses that filled their pockets with cash.

A doctor came to greet the group, and they soon followed him up the elevator, which led to one of the top floors. They walked past large doors with a significant amount of space between each one. The rooms they were walking past were the VIP rooms, and eventually, they opened the door of one. The group walked in to the sound of small bleeps and clicks as they heard all of the machinery going off.

When inside, they could see Midwak lying flat on a bed, attached to a number of different types of machinery. Inside the room, there were not only a few other nurses but Tom was there as well.

"Do you mind?" Kai asked.

It was the signal for the rest to leave the room, and that's exactly what they did.

"I've looked over him like you asked, but I'm not sure why his body's not healing so well," Tom answered. "I gave him plenty of meat, but his state is like this, as you can see."

They could only see bandages and casts over most of Midwak's body; he even had a brace around his neck. It was certainly a strange sight for a werewolf of all things, since they were good healers as long as they had meat. With his eyes, though, they could see Midwak was fine, and it appeared his mouth could move as well.

"I bet you guys are over the moon, seeing me in a state like this," Midwak smiled, but he quickly stopped and winced in pain slightly.

"We aren't happy about any member of the Howlers being hurt," Gary said. "And you are not only a member of the Howlers but our pack as well. Who was it that did this? Was it the other Alpha?"

"No, it wasn't the other Alpha. Do you think they would have left me in this state? They wouldn't have let me live," Midwak replied.

"Then, was it the Altered Hunters? No, it couldn't have been them; they wouldn't have let him live either," Marie mumbled to herself.

"Maybe it was a vampire, like the one that went after us that time," Olivia stated.

"No," Midwak said again. "I didn't want to admit it, because to me it's embarrassing, but it was just an Altered. They were just another Altered."

An Altered that was powerful enough to take on Midwak. There shouldn't be many that could be counted.

"Gary, I have a message for you," Midwak said. "Right now, the way you are, you would lose to him as well. So you need to stop being all friendly with everyone and get stronger! Otherwise, you will lose everything that you managed to build up."

Judging by the words said and what Kai had said before, he felt like this could only mean one thing.

"Our enemy this time, it's a gang that belongs to a tier 1 city. It has to be one of the Kings," Kai stated.
