My Werewolf System

The bald man was filled with rage, but even more so, when he glanced at the people staring at him from below, he felt embarrassed. They had garnered too much attention to simply step down now.

As a Tier-3 that had recently risen to the top, they felt like they were now in a place of respect. Getting to be seated with the King would allow him to progress further and he would be a person that he felt was deserved. Rising to the top, in their town the group felt like they needed to ride on this momentum and continue to push themselves further.

It was at that moment that Sin, who had been the first to enter upstairs, went out to take a look at the commotion. When he saw the three men, he just sneered.

“You think you have finally made it, huh? That is because you are able to be in a place like this, where you can do what you want. Let's make this clear, people like you can be replaced at any moment. Look around, there are plenty of those that are at your level, but your place is down there.”

Clicking his fingers, a small flame appeared right above his hand, yet he held no lighter or anything of the sort. It burnt upright and strong.

“Would you mind not doing that in here?” The woman in the purple skirt stepped out behind the King. “Mr Mutav, as much as we treasure you as a valuable guest, you should be aware that our Dark Guild does not differentiate between troublemakers. Should you choose to start anything here, I’m afraid, we’ll also have to remove you from our premises. ”

It was an interesting development. After all, the guide had just threatened to remove a King. What’s more, Sin was known for not taking orders from others, so everyone was wondering what would happen next? Could the Dark Guild really make true on their threat?

The balded headed men even looked to be nervous looking at Sin, but they weren't backing down. In a way, the fact that they saw him and still chose to act this way made him want to burn them even more.

“Fine.” Sin shrugged and put out the flame before he turned around and walked back in. “Just make sure they know their place.”

Hearing this, the bald headed man tried to push past the guards, and at that moment, yet the moment he took the first step, the raised palm rushed out. A loud bang was heard and it looked almost as if a shockwave had come out of the bald man’s back.

All the guests turned around, worried that a gun had been used, but that would have been impossible, for this time and age. The bald headed man fell back, and started to roll down the stairs, banging his head bit by bit until he eventually stopped midway.

“Slappy!” One of the other men shouted, as they chased after him. “Are you alive?”

“You have a minute to take him away before we do the same to you.” The woman noted before announcing. “Dear guests, please ignore this little incident and enjoy yourselves at the event!”

‘What was that? One hit without any transformation?’ Kai wondered. ‘Surely, everyone who is here has to be an Altered, but the guard didn’t even look as if he was serious. Just what kind of Altered is he? Are the rest the same?

‘I guess it would only make sense for the Dark Guild to keep the best Altered solutions for themselves, and they need strong people, in order to protect all of this.’

After this little demonstration, Kai was sure no one else would try anything, so it seemed like it was pretty safe inside the place. He also overheard others commenting about how ‘every year there was always one new group that caused trouble’.

Heading inside the main venue hall, it was similar to a large theatre. There was the seating area above that was reserved for the Kings, and then there were the rest of the seats down below.

As they entered, each group was handed one paddle with a number on it, and the number their group had received was ‘23’. If they wished to bid, they just would have to race the panel.

“Oh man, I'm so excited. We're really going to see cool weapons and stuff, right?!” Innu exclaimed in excitement. “I mean, maybe we don't just have to get an Altered solution, maybe we can get some cool weapons as well.

“The ones we have were good but it was still difficult using it on you guys last time, and didn't Olivia say she got her whip from here.”

“We’ll see about that.” Kai replied. “Our first priority will be the solution. Even among the Altered solutions, there are variants. The cheapest are the common ones, the type that most people can get any way. Then there are those that are proven to be strong since it’s either the same or from a similar type like the AFC fighter.

“Finally, there is the mystery type that are quite expensive but a gamble. Those are the never before seen type, meaning they can either be super strong or a total bust. I would prefer to go for one that we know is strong and suits one of you, but depending on how much competition there will be, we’ll have to even afford one, much less two.” Kai explained.

“How much is our budget?” Marie asked.

“Five million, and that will leave us with pretty little for the next few months.”

Hearing that number, everyone's eyes next to Kai lit up.
