Gary didn't want to admit it, but he had been in this type of situation more so than he would have liked. Surrounded by people that were attempting to take him out, although unlike the times before, he didn't quite feel like his life was on the line with this one.
One of the men in the black work uniform threw out what looked like a thick chain aiming to go across Gary. With his hand held out, he caught it with ease, and then pulled on it with such strength that the man fell over as it ripped through his hands, ripping some of the skin off, and his face planted right into the floor.
"Be careful, remember he's an Altered from the AFA, so he's quite skilled!" The others shouted, as they all came rushing in. Some of them even had the electrified batons, Anti Altered weapons on them.
Three of them ran towards his side, and Gary quickly kicked the table sliding it across the floor and crashing right into their knees. The next second he was on the table performing a kick midair.
His leg had hit all three right in the face, causing their heads to crash into each other. It was a loud hit that knocked nearly all of them out instantly.
'I just have to knock these guys out, I don't need to kill them if I don't have to.' Gary thought as he jumped, performing a backflip, avoiding some more strikes from the others.
He was now behind a couple of members and grabbed the back of their heads knocking them into each other, as he did he could almost feel the inside of their skulls crush.
'Control your strength, Gary!'
It was one of the biggest things with him gaining power so fast, and going up against other Altered so much that were able to take the hits.
Turning around, he lifted his hand blocking the electrified baton. It activated, shocking his whole body, but it had done next to nothing, as he kicked the man in the stomach and sent him crashing into the tables and chairs and knocking a few of the others over.
Another man went to kick Gary, as he moved to the side and grabbed the leg, with his own leg, Gary kicked the side of his knee popping the bone out.
'I won't kill you, but that doesn't mean I won't hold back in hurting you.' Gary thought.
After breaking the man's leg, he lifted him up with his sheer strength and swung it into another group of people coming towards him.
"How are we meant to even get this person... he's just too fast and strong, are all the guys from the AFA like this?"
These weren't just employees but gang members of a tier-2 city. They had to have a certain level of strength to even be in the gang, and their weapons were better than most, and yet they were still unable to even do any damage against Gary.
The next to strike Gary though, was the Altered woman who had whiskers on her face, and her hands had grown into what looked like large paws. She struck at Gary, giving off fast jabs.
Moving his head side to side, Gary was able to avoid it all, and even in the middle of fighting the Altered, he went ahead and kicked one of the men that tried to come up to him from his side.
It was as if he had eyes all over his head.
Gary was ready to throw a hit back, but just as he was, he felt something vibrate in his pocket. Of all times, it seemed as if he was getting a phone call. Since his opponents weren't too much of a big deal, while continuing to dodge hits, Gary jumped up on a table and pulled the phone out of his pocket.
"Kai is actually calling me, it might be important." Gary said as he answered the call.
This frustrated the cat, like Altered, that continued to try and hit Gary, but Gary, almost like he was the one that had cat-like reflexes, was avoiding each of the punches.
"Ah Gary, are you still at AJ Entertainment?" Kai asked.
"I am... it seems that I have angered someone here though, and I'm a bit busy at the moment." Gary answered.
"Angered someone? Well then it might be best if you listen to this, as this is somewhat important." Kai continued.
"Pay attention!!" The cat-like Altered elongated her claws and went to swipe at Gary, leaning back, he avoided the strike once again. Even without his Altered form, Gary was far superior to the person in front of him.
"Listen, AJ Entertainment are in a bit of a pickle and they have asked me for our help." Kai explained.
"Our help, why would they ask for our help?" Gary replied.
On the other end Kai started to smile.
"There is a lot I need to tell you. The Howlers, and Gary the Business Tycoon, have been busy, but I will give you the rundown, as you need to move quickly."
It was then and there that Kai had told Gary everything, how they had invested in AJ Entertainment, and at the same time what trouble they were currently facing.
It was then that Gary stood still, and the cat lady's claw scratched the side of Gary's face drawing blood.
"I'll deal with it." Gary said, hanging up the phone. His head was held down, and the woman Altered went in for another strike. Lifting his hand, Gary grabbed her by the wrist. His hand started to transform and so did the rest of his body.
"I'm in a bit of a rush now, so I'm sorry but this is going to hurt."
