My Werewolf System
chapter-118

The fight was about to begin and the crowd cheered in response, some toasting with the alcohol they had either brought or bought here, while others took harder drugs, despite the majority of them clearly being underage. However, with how illegal all of this was, nobody really cared, the ones selling were just happy to make a profit.

Nevertheless, there were also those around that looked more serious and refrained from taking any substances. Those were the scouts sent out by bigger gangs, groups looking to recruit some promising new members.

“Today’s event is a little special as we are going to have several tag team matches. First up we have Team ‘Eton High’. A school known to have no leaders, with things so bad that even the teachers must have already given up on their students, yet that was all until these two came in and changed EVERYTHING.

“Please give a big round of applause for the ‘Vicious Twins’!”

The announcer really knew how to get the crowd excited, who immediately made room for the two fighters. They ran through and even entered the stage by doing a flip over the hay bales. The two of them were dressed in dark red with straps along their arms, and on their clothes images of two snakes. One of them with short red hair, the other with long red hair.

“Hey, those guys are… it's those two from the rugby match!” Marie pointed out, having recognised Sren and Leng.

“I expected something like this to happen when I heard the rumours.” Kai seemed far less surprised to see them here. “These guys aren’t just normal students. After hearing about what happened to our Westbride team I decided to look into them more. There aren't many that can just do what they did to all of our school's members.”

Marie nodded along clearly wanting to know more.

“Well it all starts with why they filmed that entire rugby match, even though they usually just defeat their opponents by taking out the other teams’ ace players?

“To give credit where credit’s due, you gotta admire them for brazenly setting up a betting gig while livestreaming the entire event. From what I found out they even have quite the following, so they must have made a lot of cash that way.

“Their scheme seems to revolve around offering a large payout in case the opposing team wins, enticing people to bet on them winning. They give good odds to the other side. Now you understand why whoever they go against finds themselves injured before the big day. That was until a certain pair forced them into a draw.

“If anyone actually bet on a draw that day, the payout they had to make must have been huge and I’m sure them not winning has majorly pissed off their regulars who would usually bet on them as the safe choice. The things they have been doing, they're not just regular high school thugs.”

Hearing this, Marie was a bit worried, she had seen how fast and agile the two twins had been during the rugby match, and their flashy entrance was further proving that fact. However, Kai seemed to really trust in Gary and Innu as he had bet a lot of money on them winning… money he had ‘borrowed’ from the Underdogs from what he told her…

‘That kid...I know his situation and he betted his own money on the fight today, he betted on himself.’ Kai thought. ‘Someone like him who lacks skills and confidence. I want to see today, how you fight Gary. The fight of a desperate person.”

“Next, let’s welcome their opponents. For the first time registering, making this the debut of their gang, we have The Hooooowwwwlllleeerrrs!!!”

From the other side, one could see Innu step into the ring. The hay blocks were moved to the side revealing him walking through. His uniform, although black and gold, was sleeveless, showing off his muscles and the couple of scars on his shoulders. His hands were wrapped up as usual, and since he wasn’t exactly new to fighting in these events, he received quite the reception from people recognising him.

“That guy’s ‘Innu the Warrior’! Looks like he finally joined a gang, but with how skilled he was, why do you think he would join such a no name gang? I'm sure he could have gotten into one of the more prominent ones.” A teenager asked his buddy.

“Beats me, I just know he always refused those offers. Maybe none of them were good enough for him, so maybe he became fed up and just created his own gang? Well, let’s just see who his partner is. If those Howlers are powerful it wouldn’t be the worst idea to join. Being a founding member sure beats having to kiss ass to rise up the ranks.” His buddy replied with a shrug.

Following behind Innu in his black and gold jacket was Gary. However, his entrance was a bit problematic, as he had to push one of Innu’s fans to the side, to be allowed to even get in. The crowd in fact broke out in murmurs as he climbed over the hay bales. They could see his small frame and then eventually his green hair.

“Hey, I know that guy! He’s that newbie who beat up Billy Buster! Green Mutt! …or was it Green Dog?” The first guy mentioned, as he had been there on that day.

Standing up, Gary's face could be seen by everyone, and several people were shocked, yet the ones most shocked were two adults who had come here in disguise.

“Correct me, if I’m wrong, but isn’t that green haired kid the one we spotted snooping around Billy Bruntin’s home that day?” Frank whispered to his partner.

Sadie nodded with a satisfied smile. At the time, they had believed Gary, that he was just a curious kid, but seeing him here, White Rose might have possibly found someone who would be able to help them solve this Altered murder case.

She didn’t know why, but the wound on her leg felt like it was pulsating. It had taken a little longer to heal compared to her other wounds, but she just took it as a sign from above that they were onto something.
