Across the country, across all different types of electrical devices that one would hold, they were receiving a number of messages. A bounty had been placed out, and it had been done so by none other than the Phoenix Gang.

It was a special type of bounty as well since this wasn't against a single individual, but instead, it was against an entire gang. For each member taken out, there would be a reward.

In the small towns that were close, as soon as they received the message, a smile appeared on their faces.

"That crazy bastard Sin! I can't believe he's giving the whole world his wealth! This is it, everyone, let's round up!" One of the men shouted as he pulled out a baseball bat full of nails.

The room was filled with other gang members, running to get on their motorcycles as they started to rev them up, ready to go.

"Boss, are you sure about this? This is a tier 2 gang! We're just a tier 4 gang. This group took out Notsburg," one of the members called out.

"Hey, do you think we're going to be the only ones that have gone after this bounty? It's a free contract, meaning anyone can pick it up, and besides, we don't have to take out the entire gang, we can just take out a few of the members, and then we'll be over and done with it."

Everyone was ready on their motorcycles as the boss hopped onto one of his own and lifted his bat in the air.

"TO SLOUGH!" He shouted.

They weren't the only group as many more were all making their way as they headed out to Slough.

On the outskirts of Slough, a border had been set up. This was placed in a way to inform them when other gangs might be attacking or when the Phoenix Gang would make its move.

Behind the natural barriers by the toll road, there were several of the Howlers cars parked up, and members casually chatting among themselves in their black and gold clothing.

Just then, nearly all of them had received a ping on their phones as well.

[This is an urgent message from the leaders of the Howlers Gang. Gangs from all over will be out to attack us. Stay close together, stay in a big group, or head to Burnham Food Street, or Cipen!]

The message had been sent out by Kai, and for the reason for selecting those two places, it was where the concentrated members of the Howlers were. Cipen was where Amy and most of the members who had received houses currently lived.

Where Burnham food street had been growing with more and more members since Olivia and Izzy had joined the place. Right now, there was an issue in a way, Slough had become too big.

Too big for the impactful members to go to each place and try to protect its members, so it was best to bring them in close.

"What is with the message from the bosses? Things are feeling strange around here lately," the member said as he placed his phone away. "I mean we were all ready to take out the Phoenix Gang to bring the fight to them, and then Gary gets taken away, and even before that, I heard from the other guys that one of the Core members got taken out as well."

"Hey!" The other member called out. "Did you forget how much better our lives and the whole of Slough is because of the Howlers, because of us and them? If another gang comes in here and takes over again, then it will be just like it was in the past."

The sound of an engine revving was heard by all of them. Turning their heads, they could see a car speeding along. It didn't slow down as it crashed through the barrier, breaking it off to the side.

The car continued forward, heading right for them, and the group of people had no choice but to dive out of the way. As they had done, the car rammed right into their car.

"Crap, did some crazy guy really just try to run us over?" The member said, rubbing the back of his head. When looking at the car though, the airbags had been deployed but from what he could see, there didn't seem to be any driver on the inside.

Just then, the sound of more vehicles was heard, and several bikes had entered the area. They drove past the Howlers members and with a bat whacked the back of the member's head.

Immediately he fell to the floor, blood was soaking the ground at that moment.

"F*ck, F*ck, we got to get out of here, listen to the group's orders, we need to head to Cipen or Burnham!" The man shouted.

It was a rush among the crazy motorcyclists to get to a working car. More had been hit on the way, unable to do anything. While some had made it into the vehicles.

They were heading toward the main area of the city, while doing so they got on the phone, making a call, it was to their squad leader, one of the core members.

"Boss, boss, we're being attacked! It doesn't look like the Phoenix Gang, but there are so many of them, there's a group of at least fifteen chasing us on motorcycles, and we don't know about the others; there were cars as well!"

There was clear panic in the voice, but the order remained the same, get back to Cipen and Burnham as soon as possible.

This chaos that was happening was starting in every section of the city, and more and more gangs were starting to enter the streets of Slough, all looking for the Howler members.
