My Werewolf System-Novel

Chapter 699  A big backer

No one quite knew how long Gary would be away for, but it was presumed that he might take at least a week to cause some trouble. Some of the others predicted that it might even be sooner than that.

Either way, he wouldn't be back in time for the Dark Guild Auction, which was what Kai was currently making preparations for. He was pulling out a lot of the profits from every corner they had, and they had quite a few revenue streams now.

Their portfolio included businesses in Slough, such as restaurants, nightclubs, construction, hotels, and more. They also had business partners in several other cities. Harry Cardnez dealt with most of these, as he was still expanding Cardnez Electronics and knew how to navigate the business world well.

There was also AJ Entertainment, run by Ash, which dealt with the latest and newest upcoming stars.

Finally, they had Nottsburg, which was already running on high profit as a well-known gambling establishment filled with different venues and top hotels where people from all over came.

It was a diverse portfolio where all the businesses were seeing great success, so it was safe to say that the income the Howlers were getting wasn't small by any means. They had money that could possibly compete with that of tier 1 cities.

Especially if they didn't spend too much on redevelopment and improvement in Slough, but in turn, that was an investment in itself. Kai was already a step ahead, buying a lot of land and buildings in Slough.

As more people moved to Slough, the apartments, houses, and the land itself would rise in value due to all the developments they were doing. That's why when Gary surprisingly asked him to buy the factory, he thought it would be no problem at all.

"I wonder what's got him so excited. He's never asked us to make a move before," Kai said to himself at his desk. He was looking at the numbers and wondering how much money they should set aside or how much would be enough to buy the factory in the first place.

There were a few more texts sent by Gary after.

[You have to trust me, getting this factory is quite important.]

Although Gary was never the one to be the smartest when it came to financial decisions, he was hardly involved in any of it at all. Seeing him this passionate, Kai crossed out the original number he had put down.

"I should listen to the boss and try to get this, no matter what."

Research was done on the Tier-4 city that Gary had gone to, a city called Crustpool. It was close to the coast, where there were multiple large hills and mountains. That's why several mining factories had been set up in the area.

Obtaining information about the factory was relatively easy, and making a phone call as well, but Kai knew that it would get harder.

"Look, I am very sorry, but I don't wish to waste any more of both our time," the man on the other end of the phone said.

Kai had managed to reach a lawyer who represented all the factories in the city.

"We don't plan on selling up at all," the man said.

"Really? What if I was to give you a bid right now and let you know that the ones interested are the Howlers?" Kai said, and soon after, he gave a number that was in the seven figures.

For the first time, Kai had decided to use the Howlers' name. Their reputation should have grown, and other places should at least know who ran Nottsburg now.

"I will get back in touch with you," the man said, ending the call there.

Kai waited a few moments. He imagined he would soon be getting a call, but it was unlikely to be the people he wanted. It would be the middleman in this whole situation.

"I've revealed my cards about who we are, but will the real ones behind all of this do the same?"

A vibrating noise on the table could be heard, and Kai let it ring a few times before answering. He couldn't make it seem like they were too desperate.

"Hey, hey, hey, so is this the fool who thinks he can use their name to buy us?" the voice on the other side immediately said.

Kai thought it was quite brave for someone from a Tier-4 to act like this suddenly on the phone.

"That's right, I am a representative from the Howlers, and we are interested in buying out one of your factories."

Sometimes they were looking for partnerships, but in this case, Kai wanted to buy them out, not partner. It would allow him to understand the situation a bit more. If they were happy to just get a lump sum of cash, then the gang in Crustpool was just working for other gangs and not directly under them. Depending on how the around like that. Otherwise, you're going to end up stepping on the toes of someone far bigger than you can handle.

rest of the call went, he would switch tactics as he went.

"Hahaha, that makes me laugh," the man said. "Look, I came to warn you that you shouldn't be going around trying to throw your weight around like that. Otherwise, you're going to end up stepping on the toes of someone far bigger than you can handle.

"I've come to reject your offer, and before you even think about making any other offer, consider them rejected as well. Trust me, whatever you offered won't be enough. I know who you guys are, just stay in your lane. Otherwise, the gang known as the Howlers will cease to exist."

The call abruptly hung up, without Kai being able to say anything else. Placing the phone on the table, he shook his head.

"I guess it's impossible to buy that factory. A regular person in charge of a Tier-4 would never act like that, especially if they knew our name. Which means they have a strong backing, maybe one of the kings or someone with a boatload of money."

With that, Kai had to deliver the bad news to Gary.

"I was unable to purchase the factory. It seems these guys have a pretty big backing. My advice would be not to cause trouble and definitely make sure they don't find out you're from the Howlers."
