Chapter 932 A Talk With Gil
Originally, when entering the room, the fact that Austin was up and well, Gary was hoping to clear his bad mood by talking to him. He had been worried for Austin in more ways than one.
Austin was a mythical type Altered and badly hurt to the point where his special healing factor was even slowed down. It was the first time Gary had seen something like this, and the first time he had a core member of the gang so badly injured. Yet, instead of entering the room, his mind had turned even more sour upon seeing who was on the hospital bed, who was the cause of the mess involving Gary’s own family.
“Gary, it’s good to see you,” Austin said. “Your mother told me to keep the *Bastard that put her in this state, I’ve been looking over him. At the moment, the doctors are keeping him sedated, but from the look of things, you want to talk to him.
“I recognize him as well, he was someone that was in the Grey Elephants, right.”
Gary didn’t say anything and instead moved closer to the hospital bed. He wanted to get a good look at Gil’s face. To see if it was really him, and it was clear now, there was no doubt in his mind.
“He wasn’t just in the Grey Elephants,” Kai said. “He’s someone that went to our school. Although he wasn’t in my year, he was in Gary’s year, I recognize him because he was in the school's rugby team.”
“Was he just a delinquent then in a gang part-time while in school?” Austin asked. He couldn’t say much because he himself was in the same situation.
“That’s what I want to find out, how did he get involved in all of this, and why did he attack my mother?” Gary lifted his hand and pulled out the tap that was placed in his forearm.
It wouldn’t take long now before Gil would wake up.
In the other room, Amy and her mother were slightly nervous for what was to happen on the other side.
“What do you think will happen, what if Gary gets too angry and…”
“It’s okay,” Maya said, calming her daughter down. “Whatever Gary does, it is down to him. He has looked after us, and if he goes too far, then that’s just what he has decided to do. I won’t hate him or see him in a different light, and you should do the same.
“Both your father and Gary did what they had to do for the sake of the family.”
“Father…as well?” Amy asked with a raised eyebrow.
“I know the two of you hate your father for thinking he abandoned us, but he wasn’t lying when he said he had his reasons. It’s not my place to explain his situation, and maybe he will come back and explain everything to the two of you.”
Although Amy had a disliking for their father, it was more so felt with Gary because it was expected for his age.
Slowly, Gil could feel strength coming back to his arms. He tried lifting them, but as he pulled up, he felt force pushing back down. Opening his eyes, he could see the white ceiling of the room.
“I was fighting those guys in front of the hospital…so where am I now?” Gil said in a sluggish voice.
Looking at his hands, he could see that they had been tied up several times to the hospital bed itself.
“What’s the point of these restraints, sooner or later, I can just break these things easily,” Gil said. “They should have just killed me.”
“And we’re still in the middle of deciding whether to do that or not,” Gary said.
Gil turned his head to where the voice had come from, and he could see in the darkness a person sitting down on a chair. Standing by the wall, two figures were behind him.
One he noticed as the large man that he had fought against not too long ago, but beside him, a blonde-haired kid. Then finally, as the moonlight started to move into view, it shined down on Gary’s face revealing his green hair and his fierce eyes.
Immediately, Gil felt his heart beating, he was gaining more strength and pulled, but instead of towards Gary, he was pulling away.
“I see that you remember me,” Gary said. “I remember you as well, Gil, I remember you very well, and I have a lot of questions to ask you.”
Gil seemed to somewhat regain his composure, as his fear had turned into a nervous smile, letting out a deep chuckle.
“Haha, what’s wrong, is your little city crumbling due to the attack of the Phoenix gang! Are you here to beg me, beg me to stop them from attacking your city! I bet you never thought that I would be in this situation.
“Having joined a tier 1 gang, one of the kingpins and gaining this extreme power. You can beg all you want, but I can’t wait until the entire Phoenix gang takes you down. Then, both me and Raven, will be looking from above, and you will wish you never messed with us!” Gil started to go into a maniacal laugh.
All of them let Gil laugh in the room for a while, until Austin finally spoke.
“So who’s going to be the one to tell him?” Austin asked.
“It’s quite fun seeing him laughing like this,” Kai stated.
Based on the tension in the room, Gil was starting to notice something. That those in the room didn’t look nervous. As he thought about it more, he wondered why was Gary even in the room in the first place. 𝐟𝐫eewe𝗯𝐧𝚘ve𝐥.c𝚘𝚖
Shouldn’t he have been in prison, why was he here in the first place.
“The Phoenix gang is no more,” Gary said. “Sin is dead…and I was the one that killed him.”
