The Howlers had been non-stop busy after taking over Notsburg. Or more accurately, Kai had been busy working alongside Harry mostly, because in terms of why they were so busy it was due to the investments they were running.
To put it simply, Notsburg was a money maker, an incredibly large money maker, and due to them not having a leader who cared about extravagant yachts, bribing of other gangs, buying super cars, or jewels, they had a lot of money on their hands.
At the same time Kai didna?€TMt want to just waste this money. He didna?€TMt want to spend it on things that wouldna?€TMt give them a good return. Because after all, although their wealth was large, when it got to this point, it was more about power and influence.
Who cared how much money one had, if one of the Kinga?€TMs at any point and time could just come and forcefully take it away from you? At one point, Kai was considering using all the money they could to buy Altered solutions.
There were a few problems with that, there were only a number of Altered solutions out there and they would be competing against others and who would he use it on? It was a good reward to have for creating loyal Howler members.
However, he needed to be careful, making their own gang stronger in this way, if they were betrayed, could fall pretty harshly on them. In some ways it was one of the reasons why they were able to take over Notsburg easier, due to Midwaka?€TMs betrayal.
While in the middle of thinking about what to do, with a large amount of the cash, a certain call had come through to his phone.
a?€?Speak of the devil.a?€? Kai answered the phone. a?€?What do you want Midwak?a?€?
----
Midwak had made the main casino where the Scatterbugs gang mostly would be his own home. There werena?€TMt many changes apart from a lot of the tacky shiny jewelery being sold off.
After all, Midwak had lived with the gang for a while and he had somewhat gotten used to it, so he wanted to keep it this way. At the moment though, one of the private rooms was a bloody mess.
Broken noses here and there, blood all over the cards and chips in the room, and on the table. Meanwhile, Midwak was holding up a long haired man by his head, who had his front two teeth shattered.
a?€?I just thought I should let you know something.a?€? Midwak said on the phone. a?€?A gang called Ashes just came In. They were making quite a big fuss.a?€?
If Kai had done his research correctly, Ashes was a gang from another Tier-2 city. They didna?€TMt have a high profile like the Scatterbugs, but a tier-2 was a tier-2 at the end of the day.
a?€ ?I thought something like this was going to happen. The surrounding cities will want to test out the new owners. It''s a good thing we have Midwak to deal with it all, and he should be strong enough to scare most away.
a?€?Since they came here, I''m guessing they might be coming to Slough as well. I cana?€TMt kill these guys without your permission, so what do you want me to do?a?€? Midwak asked.
a?€?I will have Harry check the financial situation of the company, and come up with an offer that he thinks is suitable and fair, only if he thinks it is a good investment for us.a?€? Kai explained. a?€?But we do have a problem.
a?€?If on the surface the Howlers are known to have invested in a large chunk of your company, then it could cause problems. There will be those that think we are teaming up, trying to grow stronger to take out those above us.
a?€?If the Kinga?€TMs got word of this, they could very well start a war. Maybe that''s one of the things that you''re worried about in the first place, and is one of the reasons why you want to make this deal, but I have a way, where it wona?€TMt cause us problems.
a?€?We have a person we use for situations like this, on paper the one that will own part of your company will be Gary Dem.a?€? Kai smiled.
----
Of course, at that point and time, Gary had no idea that his name was being spread throughout the cities. That he was becoming an influential figure, a tycoon with practically an unlimited amount of money to spend.
Soon companies would be coming to him, just to ask him to get his name on their product, because they would believe he had golden fingers, everything he touched would make money.
Meanwhile, the real Gary was in a very different situation altogether. He had gathered with all the others that were getting ready for the special lesson. The two teams put on their red and blue outfits, but there was one missing and Gary noticed that his was the one that was missing.
a?€?Did you forget to clean my suit or something?a?€? Gary asked.
Crowley looked a bit nervous as he looked at his student.
a?€?Thata?€TMs not it, young one, for you they have suggested that you take this special lesson alone this time. While the red and blue team will be together.a?€?
a?€?A... Alone?a?€? Gary said.
