One could be afraid of what the man in the suit said. Even if it was a sincere concern, the wind of the threatening words of the man would still stagger their system and destroy their composure. It is even possible to be overwrought by the mere stance of this kind of person.
Warnings are just pitying towards the person who said it if they look at the listener as if they were lower than them. Not just pity, but it could be seen as an underestimation, looking down on them as if they have the authority to do so.
Who are they to pity them, anyway? That person didn't ask for it, and it could only be seen as an insult. That is what those who had pride would react to when they heard this man's warning.
However, for Roger, who had lived in a world full of threats, not even once did he experience it in this world. Perhaps he had but did not really pay into it. He was just one of the million people who don't believe in pity. They could be just deceiving them.
In this case, Roger was contemplating whether this man was sincere; even if he was, he didn't care about it. But, he can't be arrogant as he doesn't only hold onto his life. If his family learned this, they would be worried and be affected by it.
A mere school fight can be passed by and ignored, might be, but when it comes to a gang and encountering them even with slight offensive action, prayers would be the only thing to end his life. That is what people will think, and Roger worries for his mother. That is also why he was making people that would play the hero role instead of him.
He can fight if he is needed.
On the other hand, the man in the suit didn't show any particular expression after Roger acted as if he didn't care. Was it because of his arrogance? It might be, but that is confidence in other forms, and Roger has some cases.
It could be a backer, but Roger doesn't have that case. He had already searched it up. The reason he was only doing this was a mere pity. For someone, he sees a reflection of Roger.
That slice of similarity was his driving force. Unfortunately, too bad for him, Roger doesn't care.
"You seem to be in a higher rank for you to have the luxury of warning me. A warning was it? Or a threat? I don't care much, but for you to come at this point... is a slight disappointment for someone who is called an adult." Roger sneered, and that eventually made the man grit his teeth in the sharp assessment Roger made. He was sharp and blunt at the same time, and it was a fact for him.
'How could a high schooler think this way as if he had lived what is life in society? He can fight, I agree, but will he be able to fight the entire Red Neighborhood?' The man thought in his heart as he was slightly disappointed by Roger's words.
It might be true that the Red Bulls were the Green Falcons' enemies, and they will use the Blue Neighborhood as a stepping stone. But not entirely, as the whole Red Neighborhood would retaliate if they learned that the Red Bulls would be in a tight space.
Not just because they had a close relationship, the Red Bulls acted as protectors of the neighborhood from other gangs that they couldn't think of letting into their neighborhood.
Why? It is because they can't take the risk of facing another phase of endangerment or possible tyranny. The government can't fight them since the local government pays less attention when these people, gangs, who have authority and influence, come into play.
They can not only manipulate information, but they can also get your information, which could cause problems for you. So, you must comply with this gang's needs if you do not want to live in a tight position. Laughable. Laughable indeed for Roger, as they were mere natural instincts of humans that limited their potential. Roger plays a great role in equitability. Well, it was previously in Kluma, back in the peaceful days before his master's death.
"If you want to make it sound like that, or whatever is in your mind, so be it." Then, after that, Roger nodded and left the man bidding in respect. His hands were inside his pocket and he returned to his room, bringing a heavy vibe to his classmates.
Roger could only glare at them with disdainful eyes and at the same time be dismayed inside. They were pathetic, living at the lower bottom even if they could raise their worth for once. They use their time to look at others' achievements or actions instead of improving theirs.
Well, it is their choice, and hypocritically, he is judging them as well. But, he has the capability and the breath to judge.
"What are you looking at? Go back to your business." Roger hissed as he moved his eyes back to his seat.
Instantly, everyone followed his command words as if they were intimidated by what could kill their lives. It was a mistake. They should not pry on Roger's businesses. But there was one person behind Roger's table, at the other end of the room, drowning himself in an idea.
'I followed them and heard that that man was from the Red Bulls. Is Roger having a fuss with that top three gang in the Line City? Pathetic, his guts have dug his own grave... Just wait.' Then, inwardly, he couldn't help but giggle at his thoughts.
'I could turn him into the gang and assist them in killing him. They have a higher chance of killing him than the Green Falcons. At least that is the top three, where the Green Falcons is only in the top four.'
It is not the only damaging information Taylor had thought in this mind. Red Bulls have connections from other cities, which could bring more power to the Line City and give them the chance to take over. And as greed reached his system, Taylor fantasized that he could even get a high rank in the gang if he joined them after he snitched Roger.
For sure, he could have a good life as a gangster.
But not entirely, as Roger, while he was returning, noticed that Taylor indeed followed him. He knew that Taylor was observing but not thinking much of him. He just hissed.
'I can't kill Taylor to make him shut up in his place. He was as if he was born just to annoy me.' Roger hissed inwardly.
'Well, after the order straightens the foundation of the Demonyo Clan, I will surely put Tyalor in his place. He irritates me that much, and I can't let another cunning, stupid person come at me with fake fangs..' He followed.
