Chapter 801 An Old Face
The city was becoming a bloodbath as the gangs rampaged in certain areas. However, the fights weren't one-sided. That was thanks to the Howlers members acting out themselves.
Still, all this did was add to the bloodshed as the fighting progressed in each of the areas. Many had done as Kai stated, either stayed locked in the rooms or had headed to the two areas.
With the condensed members, they were able to protect themselves. A couple of gangs had tried to enter Cipen, but they were quickly disappointed as they were overwhelmed with strength.
Having seen this, they didn't quite call it a day but instead were almost circling in the city, trying to find another opportunity where they could strike because for them, the opportunity just was too good.
Inside one of the hotels, the upper floors acted as apartment buildings, and in here Amy and White were currently in their room pacing back and forth.
A loud explosion was heard from afar, and smoke could be seen. Some of the gangs had resorted to drastic measures in trying to stop the Howlers from coming out, including burning certain establishments.
Amy had the TV on, but there was no news of what was going on in Slough. Seemingly, it was almost as if everyone was ignoring it; the only thing that was showing consistently was Gary.
"We just have received some news that Gary Dem will be placed in prison while the investigation for his case is ongoing," the news reporter read out.
The dread was filling Amy's heart. Right now, the entire situation, it felt like she was in a living nightmare. Worse news was coming out about her brother and the state of the city.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhite was sitting at the kitchen counter breakfast top; she had her phone out. Although the news channels weren't reporting on things, it didn't mean that the news of what was happening in Slough wasn't getting out there.
Multiple people had started live streams, showing the ferocious gangs’ attacks. There were videos of the fights that were going on. The world wasn't oblivious to everything that was happening.
"Are the Phoenix Gang also covering up what is happening to us? I guess this is the power, the power of one of the kings," White commented.
"Why can this happen to us, and why isn't anyone helping us! Or helping Gary!" Amy called out.
It wasn't the case that no one was helping them; in fact, many of the connections that Gary had made outside of the city, they were trying their best to help, but they had been hit already.
AJ Entertainment was trying to run several articles, but no broadcasters would show it on their channels, refusing to buy anything to do with the situation in Slough. Even offering it for free, they wouldn't broadcast it.
It was simple; the power that Phoenix Gang had managed to gather over the years was just more influential than that of the Howlers Gang.
While in the middle of their deep thoughts, a knock was heard on the door. Both Amy and White looked at each other, their hearts skipping a beat. Their apartment was in Cipen, so it should have been a safe place.
Was there really anywhere safe for them though?
"It's me, Xin, open up Amy!" Xin asked.
Looking through the peephole, Amy could see the gray hair and opened the door up. Her legs were a little shaky.
"I know you're startled and frightened, but we have to go. These are Kai's orders; he asked me to take you two to the hospital and to hold up there. You guys don't have to worry; I'm pretty strong, so if anything does happen, I can protect you," Xin answered.
The hospital in Cipen was the best hospital that Slough had, but there was a reason why Kai wanted the two girls to move there because there was already a high number of Howlers members that were currently protecting the place.
He wanted to move the high risk or members to be attacked the most out from where the locals would be and place them in a different area. As for why the hospital was high risk, it was because there was another family member of the Dem Family that was currently there.
Nodding ahead, Amy understood, and the two of them left with Xin. They got in a black car and quickly drove around Slough. As they drove the streets, they could see queues of people and those walking towards the hotels.
Some of them had blotches of blood and ripped clothes on their bodies, leaving Amy only to imagine what they had been through to get to where they were now, to a safe area.
"How could people do this? It doesn't just affect one or two lives, but they're affecting the lives of many. Did we really do something this bad to deserve this?" Amy asked.
"Wars happen all the time across countries, and gangs are just like a big government structure in the first place. Which is why sometimes, we have to do things that will allow us to protect ourselves," Xin answered.
Eventually, the vehicle pulled up, and they had arrived at the large hospital. Just outside, there was a barricade of cars that had been made to make it harder for those that tried to force their way in.
Behind the barricade of cars, there were a number of gang members as well. "This whole thing, it feels like a scene out of an apocalyptic movie," White commented.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHeading inside the hospital, the workers were working as normal, just there were a lot more men and women dressed in black and gold. Taking the elevator, the three of them headed up; while she was here, she wanted to see her mother, to see if she was okay.
The door dinged open, and the three of them walked past multiple private rooms until they had reached the room they were looking for. Taking a turn, the door was already open, and to her surprise, she could see someone else in the room.
A male's back was facing away from them, wearing a large black trenchcoat, staring over their mother. Hearing the footsteps enter the room, the large man turned to look at them. It was the face of an old man, in his fifties with a large scruffy beard.
"Amy..." The man called out.
Hearing her name, she tried to look at the man closer, wondering if she recognized him or not; he felt familiar, yet she couldn't quite recognize his face.
"I guess it's quite normal since I've been away for so long. It's normal you don't recognize your father."
