"Are you planning on staring into space all day while we use up all the ammunition or what?" asked Achara while playing with Xavier's springy brown curls as he stood there blankly. Snapping out of his daze after reminiscing about all that had occurred up until that point, Xavier then nudged Zack, who had stood beside him the entire time. The nerdy youth seemed to be using him as cover to avoid having to train his aim, which was clear as day. Then, upon receiving stern looks from everyone who had turned…-

"I'm sorry to tell you this, but you have no chance of beating Achara or Sam in accuracy or weapon control. I think even if you practised the same amount as them, you still wouldn't have had a chance. But you probably haven't even held a gun before, so there's no way you can possibly compete with them," taunted Zack as they made their way to the firing range as quickly as they could, almost trying to poke at Xavier with his words. 'He's just so talented at everything and capable in every way that it'd be…

New York is made up of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. In each of these boroughs, there are dozens of neighbourhoods, as well as wealth and poverty, just as you'd expect from any large city. Where there are such large disparities in prosperity, there is inevitably crime. However, unlike the desperate thief that steals handbags or the group of adrenaline-seeking youths that steal cars to drive around with, there is much more organised crime than people know of. These organisations…

Karim's friends had similar experiences to their young boss, who they saw as more of an older brother. Although they were going to be paid half of what their boss was, they were still more than happy with the fact that they were being paid. Not only did they receive a small sum of money from working under the Wolf Gang, but they were also young and had yet to do much for the Outlaw Gang. And so, they weren't expecting anything in the first place. Yet, Xavier did not forget about them and gave them the…

"I would like to meet everyone in person," stated Rachel in response to Xavier's offer. Eddie, who was hesitant and unsure how meeting everyone individually would pan out, wanted to take a moment to weigh the pros and cons of accepting Xavier's offer. But the spontaneous accountant that he worked with had already answered for both of them before he even had a chance to do so. After hearing Rachel's response, Xavier turned to Eddie to see whether he agreed with Rachel, and the crafty lawyer sighed and…

Arriving at the building in which there was an abandoned arcade that Karim and his unit hung around in, as well as the ragtag office that Zack and his unit worked out of, Xavier headed upstairs. He had messaged Zack, who had taken the week off school, as well as Rachel and Eddie, to meet him there. To his surprise, he found that they had all arrived before him. And, despite calling them over on short notice, it seemed as though they would have shown up anyway. Hard at work, they impressed Xavier with how…

It was no longer all fun and games for the Outlaw Gang. Quickly everything was becoming very dangerous and real, so it was time to prepare properly, and Xavier wanted to make that clear to everyone. 'This would be a good time to have a gathering with everyone,' thought Xavier to himself. 'Then after that, I should head to a firing range to test out the Expert Precision I just acquired,' he continued, excited to see just how effective it was. And continuing on that trail of thought, he planned the rest…

Connor, upon waking up and seeing that Xavier was uncomfortable sharing the small space he slept in with a large duffel bag, decided to move the bag and place it elsewhere. However, as soon as he put his hand out to grab it, Xavier jumped up with unbelievable speed and explosive power. Despite just waking up and his eyes barely opening yet, he instinctively rushed to attack and wrapped his legs around Connor's head, before getting him into an armlock. Xavier also didn't stop there and twisted his torso…

Upon awakening, it wasn't long before the one-eyed demon asked his 5 elite guards about what had happened with Xavier after their exchange just hours before. The last thing he remembered was seeing his 5 closest subordinates laughing between themselves across the corridor before things became hazy. Which just made him more curious as to what had happened between them and Xavier, since he couldn't remember the last time they had genuinely laughed. And after being questioned by their boss, they told him…

Since Xavier stopped just as they were about to part ways to say one last thing, the 5 elite guards that served under the one-eyed demon were expecting some sort of farewell. They weren't particularly close and there weren't really any lingering emotions between them. Therefore, there was no need to make it a big deal, or so they thought to themselves. However, what Xavier ended up saying was far from what they were expecting. - "I also came up with a name for the one-eyed demon, in case he didn't have…
