My Werewolf System
chapter-720

After eating the crystals for a while, as expected, Gary’s stats had increased. Before it was something that could only rise with certain quests or levelling up, but now he was gaining stats without either of those things happening.

Seeing as he had found a way to increase his stats, he felt like he was right to use the points from before on increasing his energy or his health. However, he did notice something else.

The crystals that stated they were at the basic tier were no longer doing anything for him. Before he would have to eat a few and he would gain a few stat points here and there, but now there was no increase after eating five of the crystals in a row.

The intermediate crystals he found would still give him stat points, but they were extremely rare with him only finding two of them.

‘I guess I should stop with the crystal eating for now. There is still a crate full of these things, and I can’t imagine how many more could be mined from this place. For now, I should just put them all in one box, and give it to the other guys when I get back.’

That was exactly what Gary was doing. Elijah watched him carefully stop eating crystals and move them all to one container, honestly Elijah had almost given up trying to figure out what Gary was doing or why he was doing crazy things, he was more worried about the current situation.

“It looks like they’ve finally arrived!” An older gentleman shouted as he ran through the front door of the warehouse. It was one of Earny’s friends who had been keeping guard outside. Seeing the cars arrive meant that the backup that the others had called for was finally here.

Five large vans had pulled up outside of the factory. The door slid open and each of them had around six men who had come out all dressed in black and holding weapons in their hands.

They were standing by the fence not yet heading in, as they were waiting for one more person. A man came out from the front of one of the vans, with raggy purple hair that looked a bit like a mop.

“I can’t believe workers rebelled in a place like this, I thought everyone was already too scared of us to act that I would have stopped coming out like this.” Rex said. “Let’s just deal with this whole situation before Nox finds out.”

Back inside the factory, the old man who had seen just how many gang members there were outside was shaking. He had gone into detail of what he had seen and everyone else had heard as well.

The few that were willing to fight from before, weren't so willing to fight. Going against thirty or so armed gang members was suicidal in their minds.

“From the sounds of it, the one that’s come with them is one of the squad leaders, Rex.” Elijah mumbled to himself. Before joining the factory he had done research on the local gangs and of course the Scavengers came up.

Since there was so much to run on top of the factories, the Scavengers were split up into squads and assigned a leader that knew how to fight. Elijah wasn’t too worried, he was an Altered and one from White Rose.

However, with that many people, he would perhaps have to transform into his Altered form, and doing so would out his identity and he would fail the mission. The door to the factory was bust open and torn off its hinges.

Immediately running through the door were several men with mainly bats but a few others had handheld weapons as well. They lined up and looked at what was in front of them. They were hoping to see a number of factory workers having set up ready to fight but that wasn’t the case at all.

Instead, they could just see two men standing in the centre of the room. All of the workers had gone to their rooms and were leaning with their faces up against the square windows looking and wondering what was going to happen.

Earny had also been moved to one of the rooms as well, out of harm's way.

“Only the two of you, what the heck is going on?” Rex asked, as he entered. “Where is everyone, why the heck are they hiding, peeking their heads out of the window.”

Soon Rex could see the tied up gang members. It seemed like the rebellion was true, but it was still strange as to why there were only two people out in the open and even more so he could see one of them wasn’t worried at all.

“Do you think we're playing games here?” Rex said, touching his head as if he was in pain as a sudden headache had come on.

Stepping forward was Gary. Elijah let him go, he was hoping they would have more time to talk to each other about the plan, but they had no time at all, so he would just have to go with the flow and support him.

“Are you the boss around here?” Gary asked. “I’m going to assume you are, since you're the one doing all the talking.”

Rex was still taken aback, how could someone talk so forward to him while being surrounded by so many people.

“I promised these people that I wouldn’t let them get hurt, and get them out of here to look after them. So I’m going to ask you, are you planning on getting in my way?” Gary asked.

A large smile appeared on Rex’s face. This masked man, who did they think they were? He was a squad leader of the Scavengers. All the people that worked in these factories were basically slaves, how did they ever get the thought of trying to rebel.

“Get in your way, of course I'm going to stop you all, and I’m going to fu*king break you-”

Rex stopped speaking midway, because right in front of him, up in the air, he could suddenly see Gary with his fist.

‘How did he manage to get here so fast, it’s almost like he teleported?’

That was the last thought Rex had before Gary’s fist slammed right into Rex’s face. His body lifted in the air, and he was sent flying right through his own men.

Gary landed on his feet, and stood up straight in the middle of all the gang members.

“Now, I’m going to ask the rest of you the same question, are you going to get in my way?” Gary asked.

Elijah was stunned. He hadn’t moved, he barely saw Gary move from his position and to head straight in there and take out their leader, the only thing he could think was he was with a crazy person, but he was glad this crazy person was on his side.
