A Defeated Diablo's Determination

**Page 21**

In the aftermath of the devastating battle, the leader of the Diablo gang called for a meeting. The room, once a symbol of their power, now stood as a somber reminder of their recent defeat. Many members had been lost in the clash against the Philippine Death Gang, leaving the gang's strength severely diminished.

**Diablo Leader:** *(grim)* Half of our members are gone. We need to find new recruits.

Lean Gal, still bearing the weight of their losses, spoke up with determination.

**Lean Gal:** *(resolute)* We can't let this setback deter us. We'll find new blood, people willing to fight for our cause.

The leader of the Diablo gang, though visibly shaken by their losses, remained steadfast in his ambition.

**Diablo Leader:** *(vindictive)* This is far from over. I won't rest until I'm the most powerful force in GMA. I'll make Josh and his gang pay for what they did.

Kian, ever pragmatic, suggested an alliance with another gang in a neighboring municipality.

**Kian Xard:** *(thoughtful)* Perhaps we should consider forming an alliance with another gang, one outside of GMA. It might give us the strength we need.

But the Diablo leader, consumed by his desire for revenge, was skeptical.

**Diablo Leader:** *(doubtful)* I don't know, Kian. News of our loss against the Philippine Death Gang will spread like wildfire. We'll be seen as weak.

The room fell into a heavy silence as the gang members grappled with their uncertain future. The defeat had not only left their ranks depleted but also cast a shadow over their reputation.

The leader of the Diablo gang, despite the odds, remained resolute in his determination to regain power. As they faced the daunting task of rebuilding their gang, their rivalry with the Philippine Death Gang continued to burn, ensuring that their paths would cross again in a future showdown where vengeance and pride would be at stake.
