Chapter 204 + 205

Being the Altered fight fanatic that he was, Gary knew quite a lot about Altered. After the change, an Altered would first have to get used to their new body, as well as the capabilities it held. One of the most important skills was changing their body from a human to the Altered form.

According to some documentaries, that wasn’t an easy thing to do, at all. The first time was apparently the hardest of them all. Some could only fully transform into their beast selves, others would often times mistakenly transform the wrong parts of their body, changing their feet when they wanted to change their hands, for example.

As such, it was essential for an Altered fighter to master this skill. In their case, they competed in regard to the time it would take them to transform. This was crucial, since both fighters were required to start out in their human forms.

Fortunately, Gary didn’t have that problem… at least not any more. Thanks to acquiring the Controlled Transformation skill, the system took care of it for him. The teenager just had to imagine which part of his body he wanted to transform and to what degree. If he wanted to, he could also use Full Transformation to become a complete Werewolf.

Regardless, he knew that Jayden was a strong Altered, a professional who was on top of his game, and his body was already turning into something in a fraction of a second. The first thing that was noticeable was his skin had started to turn whiter, almost pale, till it looked like snow itself.

A light layer of fur was seen across his skin, it wasn’t thick like when Gary would transform. This also was white and looked soft. Still there were some similarities between the two, as his hands had turned into deadly claws, yet the most noticeable change was on his face.

It now had black marking patterns coming across from his forehead, going down the side of his cheeks. His eyes narrowed like a beast and his black ashy grey hair started to grow down his back. Soon, that began to turn completely white as well.

All of this, had taken less than half of a second, but Gary couldn’t help but be bewitched by this majestic beauty. It certainly was one of the most beautiful Altered the world had ever seen, and it was why Jayden had become popular not just as an Altered fighter but a model and celebrity as well, known as ‘the ‘White Tiger’

‘That's…so cool.’ Gary couldn’t help but stare. He soon snapped out of it his reverie as he remembered the situation he was in, and what words had come out of Jayden’s mouth a second ago. ‘Did he just say that Xin… is his sister?! But their names, Xin Clove…Jayden Tiger.’

The next moment, Gary was ready to facepalm. It wasn’t rare for an Altered fighter to use a stage name. There were many reasons why one might want to do it as well. Most did it to pick a more menacing sounding name that would easily catch on. Jayden had naturally chosen Tiger as his last name due to his Altered form.

Despite his public appearances, the Altered fighter’s real name had been kept a secret, yet it wasn’t hard for Gary to guess that it had to be Clover. Now, it made sense why Jayden had come all the way out here to Slough, and why he had come to this cabin. He wasn’t here for the pay, but because he genuinely cared for his sister.

Unfortunately, Gary failed to see how transforming at this point and time would help Xin, who was being held at knife point. If it wasn’t for that, the teenager would have already stormed in.

‘What..is she doing here!’ Gary thought.

“Don’t move!” Tiffany screeched while her hands were visibly shaking, leaving a small cut on the hostage’s neck. It was clear she was scared, seeing an Altered in real life, and on TV were two different things.

They were so rare in the world that to normal people they seemed like something straight out of a fairy tale. Not moving from his spot, it looked like Jayden tilted his head back a bit, and he opened his mouth wide, revealing sharp teeth. The next second, flinging his head forward, a loud roar erupted in the room.

The whole cabin began shaking, and Gary, who had been standing next to him, suffered the brunt of it due to his sensitive ears. The teenager fell down to his knees, covering his ears as he rolled on the floor with pain, though he wasn’t the only one.

What Jayden had let out wasn’t a regular roar. Although invisible, a strong force had travelled through the air and hit Riv who had been on the other side of the room. The red colour gang leader was chucked into the wall behind him, some wooden panels on the cabin wall had snapped in half. One second later, he fell to the floor in pain.

‘What was that? From a roar?’ Gary wondered, as he opened one eye to look up.

“Riv!” Tiffany cried out and looked towards her boyfriend. Seeing her opportunity, Xin opened her mouth and bit down hard on Tiffany’s hand while the teenage girl was distracted. Her arms were tied, but the ropes tied around her legs had broken. It looked like they had been sliced in half by some type of knife.

Believing that this had to have been her brother’s doing, she kicked her tormentor’s leg, causing Tiffany to fall over.

“You really had this coming!” Xin cursed, as she kicked the class diva in the side of the head knocking her out.

Riv had gotten off the floor, his body aching, only to see that his dear sweetheart was being hurt.

“What are you guys doing?! Get him.” The red colour gang leader shouted.

It was then that the others were about to make their move, still standing in the same position by the door. Jayden swung both his hands out fast, a whip-like sound was heard as his fingers cut through the air.

Gary wasn’t sure if he was imagining things, but it appeared as if giant claw marks were flying through the air. Seconds later, there was no doubt left that those claw marks had been very real. They hit the men who were standing by either side, cutting through their clothes and through their skin. Some of the weapons they held in their hands also were cut in half and had fallen to the floor.

The cuts weren’t shallow either, going quite deep, and blood was spilling everywhere as they fell to the floor. Those further away might have been lucky, but they were too afraid to get up again.

Gary was still trying to figure out what had happened. Jayden hadn’t moved from his spot, yet he had somehow hurt Riv, who was on the other side of the room, and also dealt damage to all the others as well who weren’t close either.

He had seen hundreds of Altered fights, yet not a single one had been this devastating.

“There are some things that aren’t shown on TV.” Jayden said, seemingly aware of Gary’s confusion, while he walked towards his sister.

Staring at him, Gary could only think one thing.

‘I stood no chance.’

Gary continued to stare at Jayden’s back in disbelief after what he had seen, his transformation had ended but the sight and memory of what he had just done was burned into his mind, possibly forever.

‘No wonder the system didn’t issue a Quest. Even if I used a Full Transformation, it would have been impossible to defeat him. Jayden hasn’t even fully transformed, so this was just a fraction of his power… Do all Altered have these kinds of powers, or is he just special?’ Gary was still shocked.

Seeing that his sister was okay, and after checking her over, he could tell she just had a small dried blood by her nose from being hit. Her nose wasn’t broken, and the cut on her neck was shallow and small enough that it wouldn’t leave a scar. Jayden would have paid for the best medical care in the world if his sister had come out of this with any permanent damage.

It was then, at that moment, that Riv saw an opening and started to make a run for it. He fled towards the exit, abandoning Tiffany. With the way Jayden had dealt with his subordinates, he understood that the Altered wouldn’t shy away from killing him.

“Jayden, he’s getting away!” Xin called out. After everything he had done to her, even if it might have been because of his psycho girlfriend, she wanted him to pay for him. “What are you doing? Aren’t you going to go after him?”

“Don’t worry, Streaker boy can handle it.” Jayden smiled, to the confusion of Xin.

Gary stood up from the ground, as Riv ran towards him.

“Get the f*ck out of my way!” Riv shouted, recognising Gary as the guy who had ruined their plans back in Westbridge. He didn’t have time to care what the high schooler was doing here, he just needed to get out of the place.

Riv threw a punch, and at the same time Gary stepped forward, moving his hand to the side. He swung his arm out, clenching his fist as he used Controlled Transformation to increase its power, before he whacked Riv right in his face. The teenager made sure to aim right between his upper teeth and nose.

A loud crack was heard breaking Riv’s nose, and his front teeth had shattered, partly going in his mouth. The red colour gang leader slid across the floor with his head banging onto a wall.

“Mr Root….didn’t deserve that.” Gary said. Seeing him on the ground, the high schooler was actually hoping he hadn’t passed out from the single hit, yet he had received a system message informing him that Riv had been defeated. Still, he wanted to hurt him more for all the pain he had inflicted to his coach.

“Hey.” Jayden called out as he saw the unwillingness of Gary to let go. “That was a good hit, but you should stop there. Trust me, it's taking every cell in my body to not rip all of these guys apart. I can see that it's the same for you, but don’t become worse than them. Otherwise, one day I might have to come for you.”

Gary took a deep breath, and with Jayden’s words, he tried to calm down. As if on cue, a system screen appeared in front of him, and gave Gary even more to smile about.

[Secret achievement unlocked: Colour Gang Destroyer II]

[Two colour gangs down.

Are you trying to collect a rainbow?

Something good might happen if you take out all three.]

[Reward; 25% Level Up]

[Congratulations, you have now reached: Level 14]

[A stat point has been granted]

[Exp 232/2578]

From the fighting Gary had done so far, he had been getting Exp for every single member he had beaten, and with this unexpected reward, he had accumulated enough to reach Level 14. Still, after seeing Jayden in action, he felt like there was a long way ahead of him before he would catch up.

Jayden was busy untying his sister, and while doing so he leaned in closer.

“Nice choice for a boyfriend. Setting aside his strange hobbies, I wouldn’t let him go if I was you.”

Immediately, Xin's face lit up red, and she went for a kick, hitting her brother’s shin.

“Hey! Is that what I get for saving you?!” Jayden complained as he rubbed his leg. The high school girl would feel bad for him… if it wasn’t for the teasing smile on his face.

The three of them had a lot to talk about. Xin wanted to ask both of them a lot of questions, starting with how Gary had even found her and why he was with her brother, but all of that would have to wait. First, they needed to get out of here. There were quite a few people that were worrying about Xin. Gary was also sure that there were those that were worrying about him as well.

“Hey, pick that one up. Jayden pointed towards Riv who was still on the floor, while he himself had Tiffany over his shoulder. “These people aren’t going to just get away with this. We’ll take them to the police station ourselves, that way no gang member can get involved.”

Picking up Riv, Gary took pleasure in knowing that for once the judicial system would punish these people, but it was only because the mayor was involved. If it had been a normal family, then it was likely that the red colour gang would have been able to buy their way out of trouble.

After lifting Riv over his shoulder, and leaving the rest, the three of them walked outside, but they soon stopped just on the decking outside. When looking ahead in the forest area, there were several people standing, around fifty in total. It was clear these weren’t police or normal citizens, and they weren’t members of the red colour gang either.

A large man stood in the centre, next to him was one who wore a leather jacket and had shades on his face, then finally there was another with a dragon tattoo up his neck, D.

‘Why are there so many people here? Didn’t the system state that the red colour gang was out? What are they all doing here?’ Gary wondered.

It was obvious from their clothes that they weren’t with the red colour gang, but bringing this many people here to an area like this, Gary felt like the main battle was still ahead.

“I see, so you finally managed to call the Grey Elephants over? Well, it was a little late, don’t you think?” Jayden shouted.

The words were aimed at none other than D. The gang leader was too afraid to do what Jayden had done, but at least it looked like the goons that the mayor had hired hadn’t been completely useless. The question remained whether that was a good or a bad thing.

For Gary, who was standing next to Jayden, his hands were shaking.

‘Did he just say…Grey Elephants?!’

It wasn’t just any ordinary member of the Grey Elephants gang, for standing at the front of all the men was their leader, Brandon Trunk. Standing a bit behind him was D, leader of the Rising Dragons, and finally, to the right of Brandon was Raven, the other leader of the Grey Elephants.

Hahahaha the Brother is a legend

Was thinking the same thing. Imagine if Gary kept his "altered" status hidden and got to the same level as Jayden without transforming.
