Soon, Hector led me to a room underground. I could see that there were more floors below than there were above. After going down the stairs for about five floors, we reached a big door made out of what looked like steel. There was a triangular device on it. Hector moved ahead and approached the triangular device. He did something, and the door slid open.
Inside, there were white lights at first, then I saw gold… Yep, gold… and there was only one pouch of gold. Yep…
Seeing this, I came inside and saw there was only one pouch of gold in the whole room. This f**king room was as big as the main hall of the upper floor, and in the whole room, there was only one pouch of gold. I glared at Hector. Seeing me glare at him, he shrank back and said,"Last night, Madam came and took all the gold… At that time, I didn't know what was happening, but now I understand, Big Boss."
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… F**k...…" I said."Let's go back…"
We came back to the main hall again. Bella was still sitting on the sofa, sipping tea. Seeing my dejected expression, she asked,"What happened? You look dejected…"
"Well, we are f**ked," I said, pacing back and forth, thinking of something…
I thought in my mind,"I had made some plans, but those plans require money… and I've got no money… Even that one pouch of gold is not sufficient enough… Ahhhhhhhh fk! All of my plans got fked up… I was hoping that with money, I would be able to continue my plans… But it looks like that Madam of the Greenwold family is a better schemer than I thought."
Suddenly, an idea came to me.
I said, "Bella, change of plans, let's go." Saying so, I started to walk toward the exit of the building.Seeing me leave, Bella put down the teacup and followed me outside. After walking for some time, she asked,"Boss, what happened?"
"Well, my plan got f**ked because we don't have money. And without money, we can't show our dominance in this city. If you want to dominate or rule something, you need one thing—and that's money, the most important of them all… But now that we don't have money, and seemingly the Greenwold family has been scheming behind our backs, it's highly possible that some of them will come to this building to kill me anyway. I did give them a warning not to send anyone—but do you think they'll listen?"
Bella said in a charming voice, "They are nobles, Boss. They don't care about the people of this city much… Even if you killed all the people in the market, they wouldn't have batted an eye… So what's our next course of action then, Boss?"
I thought for a bit and asked "Hmm… Let me ask you something… What would happen if suddenly this city is taken over by a single gang?"
bella reply without any pause "People of this kingdom will be shocked, but I don't think everyday life will change much for the people of this city. And if a single gang takes over this city, cities around us will send people to kill us all and free this city."
Hearing this i said "Hmm… Then so be it."
As I said that, I started walking faster, and soon Bella and I reached the warehouse. I could see a lot of people here—old, weak people everywhere. There had to be about 500 to 600 people here.
Soon, Fil came in front of me, knelt to the ground, and said,"Boss, we have gathered all the people from the slums who wanted to come with us. Some people refused, so we let them be."
"Okay. Gather all of these people in the center of the warehouse. Also, tell Nil to come here as well."
"Nil is still in the slums gathering people, Boss. I'll call him to come here too."
Soon, Bella and I went inside the warehouse. People were looking at us and whispering among themselves…
I reached the center where all these people were gathered. They started to circle around me and Bella. Soon, Nil and Fil also came and stood behind us.
Then I looked at the people. I could see they were just very ordinary folks—some old, some young, some were just children around 10 to 15 years old. There were also pregnant women and elderly people.
They were still talking among themselves.
Then I said to them,
"Quit."Hearing my powerful voice, they all went silent. In the instant where there were 500 to 600 people, all of them became silent. Seeing them all quiet, I began my speech.
"I know you all have come here because two people offered you a chance to become something else. All of you came here to change your lives, right? You all came here because you wanted to reach a position that even your ancestors never reached. I know these guys have told you these kinds of things—and everything they said is true.
Today, I, Gray Soliski, will give you a power that will not only change your lives but one day will change the entire world. You are now going to become members of the 'Wolf Order.' You will be the first members of this group. You are going to awaken powers you never imagined."
And so I ended my speech…But there was no enthusiasm in the people. They all looked dejected… as if what I was saying was just the dream of a naive, young man… Well, I can't say they are entirely wrong. For now, this is just a dream. But soon, This world will tremble beneath my feet…
So I said again,"I know you guys don't believe me, so let me give you a demonstration."
Then I pointed at the old man. Yep, a f**king old man. This guy had one single hair on his head, and his head shined like a polished plate. One of his legs was bent in an awkward manner. He came forward and said,"Y-yes, sir?"
"Nil, go and bite him."
Hearing me, the old man became tense. He thought this was the end of his life and started to stare at the roof of the warehouse… Seeing this, I just shook my head.
Nil stepped forward and bit the old man's hand. The old man cried out loud—but then he stopped and started to stare at his broken leg as if he had seen heaven. He started to jump and then run, and even laughed like a madman.
"Hahaha! I'm healed! Ahahaha! I'm healed! Hahaha!!"
I had to stop that guy from running around too much and said,"You old man, stand still for a moment."
Hearing me, he stopped running around. People were visibly shocked seeing that old man run like a youth. Then he stopped, and people started to see some changes—fur was growing out of his legs and head. Soon, his whole body was covered in fur. His body height increased, and he became a fully-formed werewolf with yellow eyes. He looked at the people and was just about to attack, but I said,
"Stop."
The werewolf froze in his tracks. With an angry expression, he looked at me. My eye color changed—becoming golden and red. Seeing this, he became meek like a puppy and dropped down to the floor. Soon, his body transformed back to his human form—but this time, he was completely different from before.
His level had increased. He was now Level 13. His body was covered in white clothes that looked similar to Nil and Fil's, just slightly different, with no other color on them—just pure white.
The small old man looked at himself and shouted in joy,"My level has increased! I can feel it! Oh my god, I can't believe it!"
The people were also shocked. Seeing this was like a miracle to them. Their eyes shifted to me—and they looked at me like I was some kind of god.
Seeing the way people looked at me, I just smiled and said,"Everyone here is fortunate that I, Gray, have come to give you something that will change your life. So—are you guys with me?"
"Yessssssssssssssssss!!"Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs because they had just witnessed a miracle. An old man had become healthy again. His broken leg had been repaired, and even his level had increased. They couldn't see the level, but they could feel it—this old man was far stronger than before…
Seeing their enthusiasm, I was happy.Because now that I didn't have money, I had to do something else. And my plans were simple…
My first plan was to kill the gang leaders, loot the money they had gathered till now, and just give every business a bit of money and purchase their loyalty. I was going forward with a civilized approach. But… my money was stolen by the Greenwold family.
Now I have a different plan.If I can't buy loyalty with money…Then I will just use fear and brute force.
Looking at the crowd, I said,"Listen here."Everyone became silent.
"First of all, the people here separate into two sections. First—all the children under aged, till 18, and pregnant women as well—come to right side of me, All the others, go to the left side."
Hearing my voice, they separated themselves. There were about 40 kids and 3 pregnant women. On the other side, there were all the other people.
Then I looked at the kids and pregnant women and said,"Sorry, kids and ladies. I can't help you right now. First of all, you kids—I know your circumstances and surroundings have made you adults, but for me, you are still kids. So for now, I am unable to help you guys. But that doesn't mean I will leave you behind. For now, just wait and help the gang with small matters. I'll explain those later. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Boss!" all of them shouted.
"Good." Then I looked at the pregnant women."For you ladies—just rest up until you have given birth. After that, I will give you the same opportunities that I give these guys." I said as I pointed toward the left, where a lot of people were gathered.
All those people were looking at me like I was some kind of god, with sparkling eyes.
Then I looked left at the group and said,"You guys—I need you to create three groups among yourselves. You know each other—then be in the same group."
Hearing me, they separated themselves into three groups.Then I looked at Bella, Nil, and Fil."You guys—choose a group and bite them."
Soon, everyone slowly transformed into werewolves. Some wanted to run wild, but seeing me, they all became calm and composed. Why, you ask?
It was all because I am the Alpha here. All these people are loyal to me. Because I am the strongest in this room. And I am the progenitor of the werewolf in this world.
All of them were now wearing white clothes—same as the old man.
Suddenly, I heard the system voice.
