Chapter 26: 26

Another day at school, but it was slightly rowdy as when they arrived at their classrooms, all of them talked about the news from yesterday.

Yesterday, in the hunter association of Line City, Roger's city, a group of 30 people took a hunter application test and became all licensed hunters and Awakens.

It was not the only shocking news; all of them turned out to be just from one mysterious guild, which must be the reason why they all took the test.

It was also intriguing because all of them were loyal to this group. Some rumors circulated that they were all from the other two districts of the country, rather than District Wish.

However, as it didn't reach any regional news or even the interest of the authorities, but only the local hunter association, their desire was only to know them. Nothing more.

Roger couldn't help but curl his lips in his chair as he heard it. He was so proud of them that he wasn't expecting to return peacefully and calmly.

When the classes ended, Roger went straight to the vacant lot that they all used for the meantime.

"You all look full of energy. It must be refreshing to be a hunter, right?" he asked them.

Everyone replied with an overjoyed tone, and as Roger looked at each of their eyes, he sighed.

"Let's take it slowly. Now that all of you are licensed Awakens and hunters, you can now bring wealth to your family. However, I warn you, don't gather much attention from the people. You can have individual missions, but just be careful. You don't have to be excited. Just take some F or E Rank dungeons since they all pay well for starters."

And as he finished his words, everyone exclaimed in agreement with him. Their faces were painted with the same feelings, and deep inside, they still couldn't believe that a page of their lives would turn.

If not for Roger, they would surely live at the bottom of the food chain, and even still use violence and extort people from this neighborhood.

Roger dismissed them, and when they returned to their homes, they celebrated while they shared the great news with them.

Everyone was delighted. Hope filled their hearts and there ignited a deep, dedicated passion to pay back Roger. If not for him, they wouldn't feel this happiness.

A truly 'boss' to be called doesn't only task them with what can benefit him.

'Boss Roger does really make his word the truth. He not only had incredible strength, but he also had a great talent for making organizations. It feels like my children should be with this family that Boss created.'

"Boss, we were thinking of buying a place for us. And also, we will fund it, so you don't have to worry about it." With a smile and a thumbs-up, Mark said to Roger.

Roger sighed and said, "Better do it. Actually, I dislike sitting on this concrete cylinder. And if you're thinking of buying a place, buy a commercial space because it will catch people's attention and will even help to protect this neighborhood."

Hearing those words coming from Roger, everyone pondered and was curious about why Roger always thought of protecting this neighborhood. It could be even better to take over the neighborhood so that they can establish their stand like in the other neighborhoods.

"Boss, why are you so keen on protecting this neighborhood? It's not even that chaotic, to be precise. And maybe we were the only reason for it being chaotic, but now that we are on your side, you don't have to worry about it."

Roger just smiled at Mark's remarks. He didn't think badly of it, even though it contradicted his thoughts, as those were words coming from being sincere. And as much as he thinks of it, it was even better.

"I only want this neighborhood to be peaceful. Because truth be told, I still have my memories lost from an accident and I want to remember everything. However, I still want a peaceful atmosphere since my family also lives here." Roger simply said, as he also shook his head before saying it.

Everyone nodded in awe and was speechless at how Roger was so honest with them. They even didn't know that Roger was experiencing memory loss and realizing that Roger's words sounded familiar, Mark hung up.

"Wait, memory loss? I heard that some student got into an accident, he was also some kind of our victim in extorting money. Don't tell me, Boss, it was you!" Mark said, surprised.

Roger just had a pondering look, then slowly smiled.

"Ah... So I had some kind of victim character in the past? Was that why you tried to take some from me back then?"

Mark shook his hands in a flustered and anxious manner. "I didn't, Boss. I didn't even realize I knew you back then. Also, you totally look different. Or maybe it has just been years since we saw you."

Roger snickered in a low tone and tapped Mark's shoulder.

"Don't worry about it; it's all in the past. I only want to remember important things and not those nonsensical matters that you speak of."

"Is that so? Please forgive me for being a thug in the past. I am also trying to wear proper clothes these days."

"Mark, why are you insisting? I already said, forget about it. You already have a new life. Go, work until your ass fell off." Roger said with a snicker.

Roger just left them and went straight back home. And as he thought of what to do next now that the previous hoodlums lived straight, he bumped against Kyla's shoulder.

"Sorry."

As usual, Kyla was still cold towards him, making him stand silent as she left him. Roger also felt something, a connection between them that he seemed to have already forgotten.

'Why does it feel like I felt the same with Kyla and we understood each other in the past.' He pondered.

As he was thinking of it, an idea came into his mind. 'I should ask mother about it.'

Then, while waiting for his mother in the living room while watching television, the door of their house opened with his mother panting in some strange manner.

"Mom?" Roger worriedly called his mother, then realized that there was some blood around her abdomen.

"Mom!"
