Chapter 449 The Big Auction
Once everything was set in motion, Gary left to go to his trials at the AFA. His friends and acquaintances sent him off with their farewells and goodbyes, trying to make him worry as little as possible. At the same time, Amy had now moved in with White.
The two seemed to get on well. Although White didn't talk much, that was alright with Amy since she wouldn't be living alone. And at the same time, there would also be two guards who would follow them when they went out or while they were heading to school, even if they didn't know about it.
This left the Howlers to make their next move, and Gary had called a meeting between the original gang and Tyler since the latter would be somewhat involved in this. The Pool club had been closed for the morning as they all sat around a table.
"All of us will be going on a trip," Kai began with a smile.
"A trip, you mean out of Slough? But I still haven't sorted things here. Kevin is about to go to secondary school." Innu complained.
"Wow, having a kid at your age, it's almost like you are the father and Suzan is the mother," Marie commented.
Innu's face instantly went red, but he didn't deny anything as he imagined himself and Suzan holding hands. Although there was a bit of an age gap between the two, that wasn't a problem for him.
"You can put that on hold because this is important," Kai replied. "Remember, a while ago, I talked about the Dark Guild Auction house? Well, it's in two days. So we need to start preparing."
"Dark Guild Auction House?" Tyler commented, not really following, especially since he wasn't there the last time.
"It's the auction house that sells nearly anything but is more known for their Anti Altered weapons and Altered DNA," Austin explained with a grin on his face because he had been waiting for this for a while.
"This time, the auction will be quite big because they are holding it in Morfran city. A tier one city that the Dark Guild controls. Usually, they just hold auctions in other cities, getting a few of their men as guards, but because it's in their own city, they must have some pretty interesting items this time." Kai explained.
"Does it mean we're going to a tier one city?!" Marie asked, her eyes lighting up as she imagined what the shopping malls would have to offer. Of course, it was unlikely she could afford anything, but just window shopping would satisfy her in a tier one city.
"Isn't everyone else going to think the same thing?" Austin replied. "Which means there's going to be a lot of gangs there from everywhere."
Upon hearing this, the others froze. The Underdog was a tier three gang and not even one of the top in that category. Yet they were so difficult to deal with. In this auction, there would surely be gangs and organisations from all over the country far more powerful than them.
"Don't worry too much. No one tends to cause trouble at these auctions. It's usually after them. One group gets an item another wanted, and then maybe a fight occurs, but they won't do anything risky for fear of angering the Dark Guild.
"What I'm hoping is because the others are holding out for something impressive at this auction, that we will be able to get what we want for cheap. Altered DNA." Kai stated.
The fear of everyone in the room had gone away, as their hearts started to tremble with excitement and a smile appeared on their face. Both Innu and Austin had a smile so large on their face that one couldn't see their eyes, and when they looked at each other, they stopped for a second.
"I know why I'm smiling, but why are you smiling, you big ape," Innu asked.
"Because of the Altered DNA, of course," Austin replied. "Now, we can finally match up to Kai, Olivia and Gary."
"I mean, you can get all excited you want, but you know that I will be getting it first, right? I mean, I was in the Howlers Gang before you." Innu replied.
"What by a few days? And what does that matter? It should go to the strongest person in our group, and that's clearly me." Austin replied, grinning from teeth to teeth.
"Ha, you!" Innu laughed.
"Will you two calm down," Marie shouted. "Kai didn't even say we would only be buying one Altered DNA tube, the gangs' financial situation is doing well from what I heard, and besides, technically, I was the first, so I should get dibs."
The three continued to argue for a while, and Kai was waiting for a good time to interject to tell them a few more things, but it seemed like it never was going to come.
"Listen!" Kai couldn't hold back in the end and banged his hand on the table, and everyone heard a creaking sound on the wood. A large crack could be seen in the table now, and the memory of Kai nearly attacking them all had come through their heads, making them listen immediately.
"Unfortunately, we only have the funds to buy one solution, and that's if we're lucky. Honestly, at a push, maybe we could buy two, but we don't want our funds to hit rock bottom just when we have taken over everything.
"In the future, we can always get more, as for who gets the Altered DNA...it would depend on what we find and for whom it will be the most suitable. I think that's fair and is the best for the gang." Kai explained.
With that, everyone spent the next two days beaming with excitement, visiting a tier one city and going to an auction with the top of the top. Then the day had finally come, as Tyler pulled up in a Limo to take them all to Morfran city, under the control of the Dark guild.
