My Werewolf System
My Werewolf System - Chapter 232: An Unbreakable Promise

Before setting off towards Burnham, all the boys had agreed on wearing their gang clothes. The black and gold blazers. Although it made them stand out, giving them the appearance of a group looking for trouble, that was exactly what they were going to do.

Still, as long as they split up and looked over Marie when in Burnham, they shouldn鈥檛 attract too much attention. According to Kai, it would help spread awareness for the Howlers, because if everything went right, after today they would be all set for their future operation in Slough.

Just in case, Gary also brought along his mask. Fortunately, it hadn鈥檛 been destroyed in his fight with Jayden, so currently it was just tucked away on the inside of his blazer. Wearing that in public, like in the bus, would just attract a lot of unwanted attention, but it might prove useful later on.

The group decided to head towards Burnham via bus, refusing to go with their leader鈥檚 suggestion of walking over. Instead of the food street, their destination was the school in that area, this time.

They sat at the back, where there was a row of four seats, yet with Austin鈥檚 size he took up two seats which meant, Marie and Gary were sitting next to each other. She looked forward, hardly turning her head.

鈥淎h man, this is kinda lame, don鈥檛 you think?鈥?Innu complained as he looked out of the window. 鈥淎ren鈥檛 we meant to be some hot shot gang? Why鈥檙e we taking the bus? Don鈥檛 gangsters usually have those expensive black cars and crap? Even a taxi would have even been better than this.鈥?

鈥淎 taxi is expensive.鈥?Gary chimed in immediately. 鈥淎nd with all of us, we would have had to take two taxis. You could buy ten loaves of bread, jam, and ketchup instead.鈥?

With how quick Gary had replied, Innu was a little worried for their leader鈥檚 mental being. They had already known that he was someone who was tight on money, even before he had suggested walking over to Burnham, but what was up with the supermarket calculations?

鈥淧lease tell me that鈥檚 not all you eat鈥?Seriously, ketchup sandwiches? Remind me to never go to the toilet after you.鈥?Innu teased his friend, wafting his hand in front of his face.

Gary let out an awkward laugh. 鈥業f only they knew how much money I actually have to spend to avoid hunting rats and the like鈥︹€?

鈥淯nless you鈥檝e managed to purchase one of those fancy cars with your cut and are willing to let us use it, that鈥檚 not happening. Gary鈥檚 right, there鈥檚 no need to spend money like that when there are cheaper alternatives.鈥?Kai said.

鈥淭hat being said, I鈥檓 open to revisit this topic at a later time. Hopefully, by then, all of you will be able to drive on your own, because I鈥檓 not up for being a chauffeur.鈥?He added with his usual smirk. Being seventeen, the blonde teenager had already procured a driver鈥檚 license, whereas the rest of the boys would still have to wait until their next birthday.

The journey to Burnham was long, so the group were spending a lot of time on the bus twiddling their thumbs, just reviewing the plan.

鈥淢arie, are you okay? Your face is a little red, and you look a bit nervous?鈥?Gary asked, he could practically feel the heat coming off the girl鈥檚 cheeks. She was that red, even though it was a bit hard to see through the make-up she had applied.

With her hair down and the right amount of make-up that made her look more 鈥榥atural鈥? she certainly did look like a different person. Marie also looked older than her seventeen years, her current appearance being that of a young university student.

鈥楳ake-up is really a dangerous thing.鈥?Gary thought at that moment.

鈥淵eah, the bus is just a bit hot, and I鈥檓 a little worried about what will happen if I mess up.鈥?Marie replied. 鈥淥r that they don鈥檛 approach me.鈥?

There was a lot riding on Marie鈥檚 shoulders, but Gary wasn鈥檛 worrying too much. As long as those delinquents were up and about, he believed he might be able to pick up a few things just from walking the streets and listening in on conversations.

Still, the best case scenario would be if they were to approach Marie, but after what happened with Stacy, he felt like she had a right to be worried because even he was.

鈥楾he others can handle themselves quite well. I wanted to save the Marks in case I needed them in the future鈥?but I don鈥檛 want to have any more regrets. As long as I Mark her, I鈥檒l be able to find her, no matter what happens.鈥?

鈥淢arie鈥︹€?Gary said now hesitating about what promise to exactly make. 鈥淐an you promise me not to die?鈥?

鈥淗uh?鈥?Marie looked at him strangely, and her face was sunken at this point. 鈥淎re you trying to jinx me?! Don鈥檛 even mention that possibility after what happened yesterday!鈥?

Seeing the range of emotions on Gary鈥檚 face, as the boy searched for the right words to explain that he didn鈥檛 mean it like that, Marie scratched the back of her head.

鈥淎rgh, fine鈥?If it makes you feel better, I promise you not to die.鈥?

[Error: Spoken deal is too vague]

鈥榃hat the鈥?what do you mean, 鈥榯oo vague鈥?!鈥?

Placing a Bond Mark on someone was very useful, allowing the Werewolf to find that person, while also granting him 10 Exp each day, yet there was always the risk that they could become a hunting target. As such, Gary had tried to come up with ways to make unbreakable promises.

Unfortunately, the system didn鈥檛 allow him to outsmart it. The high schooler was seriously racking his brain, trying to come up with one that wasn鈥檛 too vague before Marie was to go into the Pincers鈥?territory.

鈥淭hanks, I鈥?I was just worried about you. I鈥檓 not used to you being in on the action yet. Say, do you think you鈥檒l be in this gang forever? Or do you think this gang will last forever.鈥?When speaking, Gary honestly didn鈥檛 know where these words had come from, but he did notice one thing.

Before answering, Marie looked over at Kai.

鈥淎s long as it's still his dream, then of course I will stay with the Howlers. Although I also have my own reasons to stay now.鈥?She said, staring back at Gary. 鈥淚 honestly can鈥檛 think of following anyone else, or think of anyone else that is better for this gang.鈥?

鈥淎lright鈥?as long as you're one of the Howlers, I promise I鈥檒l protect you. So, don鈥檛 leave us, ok?鈥?Gary asked, as he put out his small finger.

Hearing these words, Marie thought that Gary perhaps was thinking a bit more of her. As far as she knew, he hadn鈥檛 asked any of the other members this question, about staying in the gang forever.

鈥業s this his way of saying he wants to be with me forever?鈥?

鈥淥f course, I promise.鈥?Marie smiled, this time not hesitating, and intertwining it with her own finger.

[A spoken deal has been made, would you like to mark 鈥淢arie Degrace鈥?]

Just in time, as the bus had arrived at their stop, and it was time for them to get to work.
