Chapter 972 It Goes In Circles, Jayden

“Your relationship is really interesting, really interesting with Jayden, and maybe he feels close to you because your relationships are closer than you expect,” Kanu said as he leaned into Gary.

“Some people might think that it’s not my place to talk about this, to tell you his past when he decided not to tell you, but f*ck them,” Kanu said. “Because this has a lot to do with me as well, so it’s my choice to tell you, and there’s another reason.”

“I want you to listen to this, Gary. I want you to listen to this well,” Kanu said as he stared deep into Gary’s eyes. The sincerity in his voice could be heard.

“The reason I decided to call you and tell you what I’m about to tell you today is because I think you’re the only person who might be able to drag him out of the pit that he put himself into because I sure as hell couldn’t,” Kanu said. Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Gary braced himself. He was reminded of what Jayden said on the roof that day, a special meeting with him after their special lesson at the AFA.

Telling him that if he was strong enough, he would ask for his help. What exactly was it that Jayden wanted to ask him for that day?

Kanu then showed his hand and lifted up three fingers in the air.

“Jayden has a frequent saying. He says the same damn thing every time I see him,” Kanu said. “There are three things he hates more than anything in this world.”

“NIRV, that’s right, the big organization that is at the forefront of making Altered. The second one, gangs.”

Gary had heard this before as well, that Jayden had a hatred for gangs more than anything, but a lot of people did, even Gary.

“Although it seems his view of hatred for gangs has lessened, and I have an inkling that you might be the reason behind that.” Now Kanu only had one finger left held up.

“Lastly, he hates the AFC.”

“Obsessed with getting revenge, Jayden could no longer be part of NIRV, and when I saw he was in the AFC, it surprised me even more. Do you know why?”

Gary shook his head.

“Because the AFC is practically owned by NIRV. Do you know who the two biggest shareholders are in the AFC?” Kanu asked.

Kai knew the answer.

“NIRV, and the other one is the One Gang, led by Harvo Ego, the number one-ranked person in the AFC.”

“That’s right. NIRV and Harvo were the ones who came up with the idea for the AFC in the first place, a way to show the strength of what Altered could do. Make it a sport out there, make it so everyone grew up dreaming of wishing to become an Altered, and it worked.”

“I bet even when you were in school, at one point, you wished you were an Altered.”

“The One Gang are closest with NIRV because of this, and as for who NIRV ordered to take a hit on my sister, it was none other than Harvo himself, the AFC champion.”

Gary’s heart started to thump louder in that moment.

The hate for the AFC wasn’t directed at the AFC itself, but because of who ran it and who was the current champion.

“Harvo killed your sister, he killed Jayden’s wife!” Gary asked.

“That he did. Imagine finding out that your enemy is the number one-ranked AFC champion, and on top of that, NIRV, the biggest corporation in the world. Most people would give up at that point, but not Jayden. He dived headfirst, becoming a Retriever himself, and part of the AFC... all for his chance at Harvo’s head.”

That was when Gary remembered, soon there would be a match between Harvo and Jayden, and now with this knowledge, it wasn’t just going to be a simple match for the championship.
