Clem had flown up high in the helicopter along with Ash and continued to film every detail of the final fight between Gary and Sin. She captured as much as she could, and the whole world could see the powerful two clash.
It was an eye-opener for many who had only watched fights in the AFC so far. Now they were witnessing powers from Altereds that they never knew were possible, and were understanding why the Kings were truly the ones ruling instead of the local government and such.
They couldn’t even blame the local police force for ignoring matters or why the White Rose decided to stand down with matters between two groups. Otherwise, man would have been uneasily slaughtered.
Regardless, all of these thoughts were put in the back of their minds as the comments came down, blurring the screen one after the other.
"Did you see that, he ate through the flames and then got a huge power-up!"
"Yeah, he didn’t stop fighting, and the whole city around them is completely ruined."
"What does this mean though, Gary Dem defeated one of the Kings, he bested one of the strongest and biggest gangs, does that mean now the Howlers are one of the big gangs, that Slough is a tier 1 city, and that Gary is a new King!"
"Does the person above me really not understand anything, it’s a lot more than one individual power to become a King. They have cities with undeniable wealth and more. The issue is, the Howlers didn’t attack Inferno City, they didn’t take over their businesses and their resources."
"Without that, Slough will still be a tier 2 city, the influence of the Howlers will still not be at the level of the Kings, and seeing this, it's very likely that one of the other Kings will act."
Although most of the comments were discussing Gary’s achievements and accomplishments, many were still happy about one fact: the one they were cheering on had won.
The people in Slough that were being tormented, the Phoenix Gang that was feared for their brutality, had managed to lose.
The reach of Clem’s stream had reached more people than she had realized as well. Many people in Slough themselves had logged into the stream to watch the event.
Those that were held up in their apartments, hiding out waiting for things to die down. Even in the hospital, Xin, Amy, White, Austin, and Mai all of them had gathered around several screens.
They were all watching the fight that Gary was taking part in, going up against Sin, they were wishing him luck, and they had all managed to see him protect the town once again.
“My boy… how did he manage to change so much, in such a short amount of time…it seems that I really have missed a lot,” Mai said as she wiped the tears that were coming from her face.
Amy immediately gave her mother a deep hug, and the two of them continued to let out tears of joy, as everyone now felt a sigh of relief, and a heavy weight came off of the city that they were in.
“Gary… from school, I really can’t believe that green-haired idiot was able to do all of this and help all of these people,” Xin said, looking around the hospital at all the tears of happiness.
“That’s why I joined this group,” Austin said. “I knew it when I met him, that If I joined him, that we would amount to something. Honestly, If I hadn’t crossed paths with him, and if he never had the chance to shine in this city, I wonder what this city would have been like.”
At the same time, a single man who was walking through the barren streets of Slough, lifting a woman on his back on the way to the hospital with a phone in his hand, had a big smile on his face as well.
“I guess our family could never avoid our fate, this is something that I avoided, and now the responsibility will have been passed onto my son. When I meet with him… Gary deserves to know the truth, about everything.”
However, as the livestream had witnessed the last moments of the battle between Gary and Sin, the camera had finally given out that they were using and the livestream had come to an end.
“The major heat from the battle must have affected it,” Ash shouted. “I’m surprised it honestly lasted that long, maybe someone up there really wanted the whole world to see the conclusion to this. We did what we needed to do, let’s get out of here. If we want to help out the Howlers, we need to sort out the whole mess at AJ entertainment as well.”
Clem was a little saddened that she wouldn’t be able to head down and join Gary in his victory bout. As the helicopter flew back over though, she just hoped, seeing the state of the city, that Slough would be able to recover from what had happened.

Gary was huffing and panting, his loud howl echoing throughout the city as he surveyed Sin’s lifeless body. The claw had ripped through his head, his Altered form had disappeared, and his entire eyes were lifeless.
‘The Kings, NIRV, White Rose… and even those like Blackjack and the Altered Hunters, all of them still exist out there, and at any time, any one of these guys can ruin the peace we have, and the peace that I created for everyone.’
‘I… need to continue to protect that peace… to do that I need to get stronger. So I’m going to use the rest of your body Sin, just like I did with Kirk, to take out anyone who tries to take this away from me!’
