In the city of Slough, in Cipen, the area was filled with fancy hotels for the guests who would come and go from Slough. Since it was a newly developed city and was getting its name out there, more and more visitors were coming to the town of Slough.
With the recent news of what was going on, though, it came as no surprise that many businesses and events that were to happen at the hotel had been canceled.
At one of these hotels, in particular, standing outside, on guard, were several men in black and gold clothing. Just outside, parked in front, where cars weren't meant to be parked, were several large black vehicles.
The hotel had special meeting rooms, as they would for business events, and in one meeting room, Kai had brought all of the others along with him. The door was shut to those on the outside as he took his mask off and slammed it on the table, revealing his face to everyone else in the room.
"This situation is getting out of hand," Kai said as he ran his fingers through his blonde hair.
Mai and Olivia were in the room as well. They still kept their masks on, unlike Kai, who had broken this rule. It was a rule set by Kai, so they wondered why he broke this rule himself. Because there were those in the room who didn't know about them.
Xin, Crowley, Amy, and White had been brought from where they were to here.
His actions probably went to show the desperate situation they were in, because what did it matter if he hid his identity if they were all going to end up dead.
"I'm sorry that the two of you got attacked," Kai finally said as he lifted his head. "I didn't know that they would go after you, and all of our focus has been on Gary since he left.
"Because of your involvement, I want to be honest with all of you in this room," Kai stated. "And for us to help our people and this town, I'm going to need some of your help.
"Yet, every time they have struck Slough, they have almost always done it indirectly," Marie commented. "I think they're almost trying to wear us down bit by bit. To elongate the fight and then deal with us when they think we're weak enough."
Kai had to agree, as he was thinking along the same lines as Marie, and it seemed to be working. His main issue was, what was the next move from them, though.
Olivia had immediately gone to look at her phone as several messages started to ping toward her. Kai turned his head, looking at her. He could feel his heart wanting to jump out of his throat.
"It's not good news," Olivia commented.
"I didn't think it would be; just give it to us straight," Kai answered.
"The war between the Howlers and the Phoenix Gang seems to have been made somewhat public," Olivia explained. "On the underground hit market, they have offered up a bounty. 10 grand for every Howler member that gets brought in.
"And 1 million for every leader with a mask. With this, it won't just be the Phoenix Gang we have to worry about, but every gang close to Slough."
