“I—I… well, they’re part of the Riley’s men. The Hunting Dogs hunt other people for betrayals or different reasons. They’re cruel and heartless,” Charlotte’s heart pounds.
“What the hell… happened to you?! You were gone for four months, asshole! It’s July, and you missed all the exams,” Charlotte punched Eli’s chest.
Eli was unfazed by the punch.
“I was training. Why was the guy hunting you, then?” Eli tilts his head.
“It’s because I’m affiliated with you, so Riley kicked me out of the council,” Charlotte sighed.
“You told me you were in it for personal reasons. Join me because I want to take down the Delinquent Council. I never wanted to join the bastards,” Eli placed his hand on her shoulder.
[Golden Tongue] Activated!
“The truth is… I have a younger brother who was bullied, and the only way to stop them was for me to climb the rankings,” Charlotte’s eyes darted down as her voice wavered.
“Charlotte, join me, join the Eli Fam. I am recruiting people to go against the Delinquent Council. Someone like you can provide insight into the members of the council. We can protect your little brother.”
Ding!
[Charlotte Moore] joined your [Party]!
[Few Hours Later]
I need to pay a visit to Jules and Gwyneth.
Eli walked through the streets. People were staring at him, his hair hung loose on his shoulders.
Eli saw the familiar apartment. He slowly walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. Nobody answered the door. He knocked again and heard rustling. Jules opened the door, sweating.
“Y-yes?!… wait? Who are you?” Jules’ eyes widened as they tilted their head, meeting Eli’s gaze.
“Hello, Jules. It’s me, Eli, Eli Gray,” Eli’s eyes darted into the apartment. “Also, why are you sweating?” Eli’s eyebrow rose.
“E-Eli?! You look… different. I’m sweating because… it’s hot! Yeah, it’s hot!” Jules’ cheeks flushed.
“Can I come inside?” Eli asked.
“Y-yeah! Give me a sec,” Jules closed the door.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Eli’s ears perked up as he heard muffled voices. Jules finally opened the door again, ushering Eli in. Eli sat on a chair.
“Hey, Gwenyth and Jules. I am back and ready to continue our plan with a few modifications. We need to save Levi first,” Eli said calmly.
Eli’s eyebrows raised as Jules was sitting in Gwyneth’s lap.
“What’s going on with you two?” Eli leaned back.
“We started dating,” Jules scratched the back of his head.
“Dating?!” Eli’s composed manner breaks as his eyes widen.
“Well, ah, okay, so we need to make money. Wait, how do you guys have money? Are you working?” Eli tilts his head.
Ding!

Hmm, I’ll send Jules and Gwyneth to the south’s territory. Then I’ll the other two guys to take down a piece. That should be four if successful. I’ll take down the fifth one.
How long have I been here?
Levi’s eyes fluttered as he was strapped to a medical bed, and he was naked. The fluorescent lights buzzed. A lightbulb was placed above his face.
“Get ready for your daily dosage,” a man entered the dark room wearing a lab coat.
They took out a syringe, slowly bringing it to Levi’s body. Levi struggled, but it was no use. He was too weak.

[Few Hours Later]
Eli walks into a billiard building. He pushed the door open, and other people stared at him.
“Who’s this?!” A man walked up to Eli.
“Hey, buddy, fuck off,” the man leaned closer to Eli’s face.
You used [Ghost]!
The other men’s eyes widened as they saw the man suddenly go down with a thud.
“Get him! We’re under the South’s rule!” The men lunged at Eli.
You used [Ghost]!
All the men were hammered to the ground, and Eli’s fists were blurred.
“Oi! What’s goin’ on here?!” The ringleader steps up.
“You fucker doin’ this?” The ringleader jabs Eli’s chest.
“Pretty boy, you got a dyin’ wish, don’t ya?” The ringleader shifts his weight, delivering a punch to Eli’s midsection.
The ringleader’s eyes widened as his fist did no damage. In a split moment, the ringleader’s body flew through the air like a ragdoll, crashing into a nearby wall. A dent appeared on the wall as the ringleader’s shoulders slumped.
Blood drips from the ringleader’s mouth.
“That’s one, four more to go. I’ll go to the fifth location,” Eli turned his heel, leaving the rag-dolled men on the floor.
Jules arrived at the location. It was a karaoke bar. They opened the door, stepping into the noise of singing.
“Ma’am, the karaoke bar is closed unless you’re on the list,” a security guard stopped Jules.
The bodyguard’s body flew through the establishment, crashing into a wall.
Critical Hit!
“Don’t get in my way,” Jules reached inside their pocket, grabbing a hair tie.
They grabbed a handful of their hair, tying it into a ponytail.
“Quickly! I’ve heard a commotion,” other men rush into the lobby.
“Get that skank!”
Critical Hit! Critical Hit! Critical Hit…!
Jules spun their body around, hammering a roundhouse kick to one of the men’s jaw. A man approached from behind, trying to grab Jules’ body. Jules does a back kick, connecting with the man’s gut.
Students emerged from the door.
“What the?! There’s a bitch causing a scene,” one of the students rushes to Jules.
Jules turns their hip over, facing the student’s direction. Jules’ sidekick connects with the student’s face. Blood sprayed into the air.

“Sir Shiloh, we’ve been attacked by a group of people! There's a girl with long reddish hair. She took over the karaoke bar! Then there’s a guy with a white t-shirt that took down the billiard establishment. We are losing territories!” A student burst into Shiloh’s office.
“Hmm, send the Central Four to the white t-shirt. I may have a feeling about who it is,” Shiloh’s voice was calm but carried a hint of authority.
“Right away, sir!”
