My Werewolf System
chapter-526-2-30041322

Everyone, including the guards working for the Cardenez group, witnessed the Freaks take on the attackers. This was not the first time the gangs had attacked them. The Freaks had always seemed so strong, able to stop those gang members before they could do too much damage to the factory.

However, today was the first time that they witnessed the Freaks on the short end of the stick, struggling to prolong the battle. Not only had a considerable larger amount of gang members come to attack them, but they also seemed to be a cut above the thugs that had come last time. All the Freaks understood the gravity behind the battle, and thus they were giving it their everything.

Unfortunately, courage alone couldn’t decide a fight. The guards watched the Freaks get beaten, hit, and kicked over and over again, but despite their worsening wounds, the clown-dressed gang members continued to fight. It was this moment that the guards asked themselves how they could just stand behind the walls and do nothing.

It wasn't right, which was why they decided to act. The guards abandoned their orders of waiting to deal with the leftovers like the previous times, instead they rushed out of the barrier they had built themselves and attacked the gang members who surrounded the Freaks on their last legs.

Fortunately, they weren't on their own, as a few others dressed in similar attire to the Freaks had arrived at the scene. Two gang members had swung their bats down on guards before being wrapped around by a strange extended substance and held in its tracks. Before they could react, another large tentacle-like vine, the same that wrapped around their weapons, hit them in the stomach and sent them flying through the air.

Then another one wrapped around a member of the Freak’s waist and lifted him up. "I'll take him back to the factory! Don’t fight here, you guys, get back behind the barrier as soon as you can!" Izzy shouted, ordering around the guards. While she appreciated the gesture, it was obvious at a glance that they were more of a liability than actual help in this gang fight.

With her strange hair-like abilities, Izzy was using her unique Altered form to fight, and as she headed back to the others, she hit a few more members on the way, leading the barrier.

At the same time, in an area not too far from where they were, another Freak member was being protected by a person dressed as a clown. Several gang members were on the floor bleeding from their hands, and others had even dropped their knees on the ground out of fear.

Meanwhile, Ian in his clown getup had several spikes stick out from his body and clothes. They were more like the small bristles of a hedgehog, and several holes had already formed on his clothes as they retracted back into his body.

"I'm sorry, my fellow clown friend, but it looks like I ruined this set of clothes."

The Freak, who looked to have a broken leg, couldn't help but laugh as he heard this remark.

"Just get me out of here, and I’ll make sure the boss won’t chew you out for it." The clown replied. Ian was happy to hear that and gave his ally a hand and shoulder to lean on, before he headed back to the barrier just like the rest, followed by Numba and Gib.

Inside the factory, the medical staff was already busy treating the incoming patients. Unfortunately, there was only a handful of them. Money could only go so far in convincing someone to risk their own life, especially since it was guaranteed that the factory would turn into a dangerous area.

After making sure that the injured Freaks were taken care of, the three Altered students quickly returned, but the situation soon changed. The rival gang members had entered through the gaps in the cars, and although the initial plan of attacking them as they came through had worked at first, eventually, they were overpowered.

Seeing this, Numba exploded from his position, getting to where the others were at a swift speed and striking a man so hard that he flew back and hit a car.

"Get the f*ck away from our company ground!" Numba roared. With the three Altered fighting inside the 100-metre area of the factory, they were able to hold off the gangs pretty well.

Harry, seeing all this, had to blink twice and almost held his hand toward his chest. You…I can't believe it. This factory is being saved right now…and it's all thanks to you. I don't know what I did to receive someone like you in my life." Harry stated.

It was strong words coming from the president, and it was the first time Will had heard the president compliment his son in such a way.

Far back, from where the gang members were attacking, a middle-aged man with long hair hadn't joined the fight. He was leaning up against the car with his arms folded.

‘Three Altered? Now that is a surprise. Did the Cardenez family hire them? I didn't think anyone would support them in this situation. Surely they should know the Scatterbugs are behind this. Maybe this is something I should report.’ The man wondered to himself as his hand went towards his phone.

The man wasn't the only one watching everything from the backline. Kai and the other members of the Howlers had yet to join this fight. So far, they had just stayed in the back, he to observe, the rest waiting for him to give them to go ahead.

'Those Freaks are more impressive than I thought. They might be on the same level as the Underdogs’ Cheetah Squad. The Scatterbugs must have never expected that a simple company would be so hard to take over, but that just shows his strong mindset. He is definitely someone we want on our side.

'As for those three, they are all highly skilled Altered. I guess that’s what I should expect from AFA students, but they are particularly talented, and that girl seems to have a good head on her shoulders. Without any major changes in this fight, the Cardenez group might actually make it out of this without the need for us to intervene.

‘Well, we can't just let things end like this, not without letting them know what we’re capable of as their allies. I wouldn’t want to give them a reason to want to weasel out of our deal.’

Kai turned around to the others, who all seemed restless. For many, it was taking everything they had to hold back from joining.

"I know that all of you are eager to get involved, but it was important that you saw that those guys are capable of. They are nothing like us, and the group behind them is even worse. You’ve seen it for yourselves, these people hurt others without a second thought.

“Some of them have taken lives just for fun. If these people find out who we are, or if we give them the chance, they will come back and make us pay back tenfold. I want you to imagine not what they would do to you but what they would do to those you care about, what they would do if they manage to get a hold of your family! Do you understand?!" Kai clamoured.

Numba was busy fighting, but he could hear Kai's voice. The Altered was doing well, but fighting like this had exhausted him and he wondered if the Howlers would ever do something. At that moment, a man on a motorbike drove through the gap on a motorbike, heading straight for the Howlers.

"I want you to all fight without holding back!" Kai ordered.

As the man on the bike came closer, Austin accelerated and clashed with him. The man swung down his crowbar against the bull masked teenager’s shoulder. Surprisingly, it did nothing, leaving no injury. At the same time, the bike crashed right into Austin and stopped in its tracks.

"I understand!" Austin replied as he lifted the front of the bike in the air with ease, causing the man to fall off and hurled it over to the incoming rival gang members.

Numba was ready to deal with a group of members in front of him when a bike came flying from the side. It hit a group of around six of them, knocking them off their feet and crushing the bones in their bodies.

Upon turning his head, Numba noticed the masked figures walking their way.

"You’ve done enough, now it’s our turn. I promise we’ll get rid of all of them for you!" Kai said as he ran forward, his hands transforming with a tuft of grey fur.
