Just when Gary had thought the system might have turned over a new leaf, the system returned to being as unresponsive as ever. Aside from leveling up, the high schooler came to terms that he would have to hope that he might to either luckily unlock a way to increase that number, or the system might decide to drop him some tips.
Nevertheless, Gary needed to be careful about the promises he made. According to his system, should the other party end up breaking that, then his Bond Mark would automatically turn into a Broken Mark, making those people into hunting targets. While that might not be bad in his daily lives, it would lead to disastrous consequences during a full moon. It was something he wanted to avoid at all costs.
Fortunately, when seeing his mother on the phone, he had come up with what he deemed to be a perfect plan. He had made his mother promise him that she would never leave him. Gary was completely convinced that she would never do such a thing. If their mother had wanted to, she could have left the two teenagers ages ago, making this an unbreakable Bond Mark.
“Thanks, Mum.” Gary smiled, elated that he would be able to protect mother whenever she would be in danger now. Like Tom, the mark that appeared was green, although the smell coming from them was different. It looked like he would have to try his best to use his nose rather than his eyes more.
'Now I just need to think of a promise that I'll be able to keep with Amy. It would be best if it could be something as foolproof as Mum's. Right now, nothing comes to mind, at least nothing that she is guaranteed to keep.'
A little while later, his mother received a call, and it was time for her to go to work. Gary knew her shifts were long ones, so when leaving the house late today there was no need for him to worry about sneaking out.
The gangs were quick to run away. Alas, they didn't get far. Kirk had transformed the bottom part of his legs to run past them all. He would have been even faster if he hadn't taken off his expensive shoes beforehand, to block off the juveniles' path of escape.
“Since you guys are already here, I'll have you answer a few questions. You didn't think I would let you go this easily after what you did, right? First, who are you working for, second why do your bosses believe that they could just barge into our area and take over and lastly… have you seen a kid about this height, around sixteen years old with green hair?”
