n“Hey… that guy isn’t coming up… I think the masked guy just knocked him out with one punch!” One of the grey coloured members reported, as he shook his friend, who was on the ground.

n“Come on, he’s not bald, how is that possible!” Another claimed looking at the small figure who had hit his friend.

n‘These aren’t the Grey Elephants, they’re not real gangsters, and I’ve gotten stronger.’

nEven if the gym hadn’t given him extra stats, Gary could still tell that his body had improved from the workouts. Perhaps his Strength hadn’t increased enough for the system to grant him another point, but it was as if he was between stages somewhere.

n“Hey… you knocked him out cold, now that is quite the entrance.” Austin cheered.

n“That bastard’s trying to start a fight with us, get him!” One of them shouted and the other two guards immediately ran forward, charging towards the strange person wearing the mask. Gary was ready to deal with both of them again.

n‘I need to conserve my Energy. Who knows how many are inside?’ Gary thought. Before he could act, though, he saw two figures whizz past him, one large and the other small.

nA large fist hit one of the grey colour members in the gut. The punch was so strong that spit came out from the member’s mouth, and he fell to the ground. Following up with a strike on the temple, Austin knocked him out.

nAs for the other, Innu had jumped with his knee forward. The movement was so fast and sudden that the other member was unable to react, allowing his knees to dig right into the other member’s chest, knocking him down on the floor.

n“What? Did you forget that we were here with you?” Kai questioned as he undid his expensive watch and placed it in one of his pockets. It seemed like for the first time he would get involved personally in their matters.

n“Hey, in a gang we need to protect our leader at all costs.” Innu said with a thumbs up towards Gary.

n“Thank you.” Gary said, looking at them all. “But as a leader, I also need to make sure all of you are okay.”

nThe four of them walked forward and the last guard that was there had picked up a pot and pan that was by the side. He ran back, scared, and started hitting them furiously.

n“Everyone, we’re being attacked! I repeat, we’re being attacked!” The man warned his companions.

nSoon, those who had been sleeping or hanging out in their containers started to come out, as they took a look at who was attacking them.

n“Is it the black colour gang? Maybe they are here because of what happened last time?”

n“It might be the Underdogs as well.”

nSoon, around thirty people came out from their containers and came to meet the intruders. They looked to be younger or a similar age than themselves which ruled out those from the Underdogs, at the same time they could only see a single group.

n“Really? You got us all worked up for this!” One of them complained. They had been on their toes ever since the attack, afraid that the others might come at them at any time.

nThe member who had run away froze. He didn’t really know what to say that wouldn’t make him seem weak, but these guys weren’t normal kids. They had knocked out the other members so quickly.

n‘There’s around thirty of them… everyone here is strong…actually, I have no clue about Kai. He must have come here just because he was worried about Marie, but I might need to protect him. If it’s all of us, we can deal with these guys and then head inside.’ Gary was trying to come up with a plan.

nHe felt a familiar hand that started to find its way more and more frequently on his shoulder these days. As he looked up, he could see Kai shaking his head.

n“Don’t waste your time on this riff-raff. We might not be able to defeat them all, but we can at least buy you some time. Worst case, we might get beat up, but we’ll live. Just head inside and make sure Marie is okay. There might be even more inside.” Kai advised.

nWas it the right thing to do? Was Kai just being brave, or was he placing Marie’s safety above their own?

nThe teenager honestly wasn’t too sure, but since none of the members before them had come out from the warehouse, it was very possible that there were even more inside waiting.

n“Gary, I trust you to find Marie and help whoever has her more than anyone. Once you do, concentrate on getting her out. We can always get back at them later, but first we have to save her! Don’t hesitate to go wild, and get them for me, will ya?” Kai requested as he patted him on the shoulder.

nIf Gary was quick, then he could make it back in time to help them out as well. They knew the risks when agreeing to come here.

nThe teenager started to run ahead, and some members looked like they were about to pounce and stop him, but once again both Innu and Austin were there to stop them, showing off their skills.

nThen there was a third, who was running after Gary’s back. Before he could reach out to him, though, a foot could be seen reaching around his neck. The next second he had been pulled back, and a sudden thud could be heard as he fell to the ground.

nThe grey colour member looked up and just saw a pretty blonde boy looking over him with his hands in his pockets.

n“No one is disturbing him, he has a job to do.” Kai said.

nSeeing this, Austin smiled. ‘I knew he had some skills.’

nThanks to the little commotion the others had made, Gary was easily able to run to the warehouse and open its doors. He closed them behind him, and now that he was inside the building he could see a few people walking around.

n“Huh, who the f*ck is that? Was the boss expecting a visitor?” One of them asked as they spotted Gary.

n‘Well, they’ve caught me, so no need to try and be sneaky.’

n“MARIE!!!” Gary shouted at the top of his lungs. “I’M HERE TO GET YOU!!! JUST WAIT FOR ME!!”
