Chapter 773 Friends of Friends


    Both Kai and Gary were working hard to come up with a plan, but with the current plan, they would need to rely on Midwak, and he was still out of commission at this time.


    Instead, for the time being, Gary was focusing on a few things. For one, his sister Amy, as well as his mother. He had asked for increased security around his mother, and he would secretly keep an eye on his sister in the meantime.


    Since they were hitting everything that belonged to the Howlers, they would also assume that Gary Dem, a business tycoon that worked for them and an ex AFC fighter, would be on their list of targets.


    However, there was a chance that they wouldn''t come for them directly and instead would target those around him.


    Amy was living a good life now; she had finished school and was getting ready to go to university. Surprisingly, White had chosen the same course as her in computer engineering.


    It was hard to say if this was Kai''s doing, to have someone around her at all times protecting her or not, but Amy was just happy that a friend was staying around her.


    ---


    In the city of Slough, on Burnham food street, a new luxury seafood restaurant had opened up. There was glass all around, and the fish were swimming around the guests as they ate.


    The idea was to make the customer feel like they were dining under the sea while eating their seafood. It was quite the hit, and since Burnham was becoming more well-known as a place for new restaurants to appear, there were those who came from outside of the city just to experience the food.


    The restaurant, due to its popularity, was already fully booked for the next three months, and it had only just opened.


    "Oh, you know him on a first-name basis?" Vere raised an eyebrow, as she had never seen this woman before.


    "Ah, well, Gary did introduce the two of us. Since he had asked me for a favor to give one of his friends a reservation. It''s nice to meet you; I''m Izzy, the owner of this restaurant," Izzy claimed as she placed her hand out.


    Izzy was one of the students that Gary had made an alliance with a while back. Her family had owned a chain of restaurants across other tier-3 cities. With their partnership, they had decided to work closer in Slough, and her mother had sent her out to look after the new restaurant.


    "Oh really, nice to meet you, Izzy," Vere said, shaking her hand and looking at Austin with a cheeky smile.


    Having been caught in a lie, Austin was now somewhat sweating.


    "Well, please, I hope you two enjoy your meal; the two of you look great together," Izzy commented. "If you need anything at all, then give me a call, and I hope I get invited to the wedding."


    Walking off, Izzy was ready to leave the two alone, but she noticed something odd. Several of the guests in the room had suddenly stood up from their seats. It wouldn''t have seemed like such an odd thing, apart from the fact that they stood straight like a bamboo shoot, unmoving, and it was all at the same time, as if it was coordinated.


    At the same time, they took off their uniforms, revealing dark red-colored clothing underneath their shirts.


    One of the men in the center of the group had half his hair dyed red while the other half was black, and he had a sinister smile on his face as he started to laugh.


    "We are here to get rid of the Howlers! We will burn everything to the ground!"
