"Phew... I am now on a mission, so thinking about personal matters and emotional drawbacks is not welcome. However, such a pitiful young man, if only he had listened to my warning." YT was pitying Roger as he truly sees his younger brother in him.

Even with the attitude that YT wanted to trample on Roger, he could not dare to, as it is only his personal emotions that he seems to be unable to control. If this hinders the mission, making it fail, he could only wait for punishment.

"The mission was to threaten him truly, using his family if possible, since injecting the fear that he had eyes on him from other gangs," YT muttered as he continued walking down the paved path to the hospital side. He followed the taxi Roger rode in with his motorbike, and arriving here hastily was a good turn in the phase of his mission.

However, as he walked to find Roger, there was something that hindered him. It was still the same pity that lingered in his mind.

"Family... if I fail this, my brother might be affected by it. I already warned him, so let us just ignore his condition."

After fighting over himself, YT soon found Roger going down the stairs and leaving the main building of the hospital. He also noticed that Roger was happily talking with his family, a smile stuck on his lips.

"What a pity," was all he could grumble as he continued the next phase of the mission.

When Roger finally arrived at the hospital, he calmed down to hide the anger he was currently experiencing. After he hid it, he went straight to his mother's room and was greeted.

"You came, Roger. We are about to leave." His father said, with his eyes smiling, that it was obvious that he had survived a predicament.

Kyla was also at the side, assisting her mother to walk even though she didn't need it. Her mother was just smiling at her, thinking how sweet her daughter was.

"How sweet you could be, Kyla..." It was a sweet remark from her mother that easily hit her heart with joy.

"Of course, mom. I don't know if we can capture the person that did that horrible thing to you, but I will still be here to assist you."

Hearing Kyla's words confused Roger, which was noticed by his father as well. Thus, by making him informed about it.

"Before you arrived, I mentioned to Kyla that I was investigating your mom's case. I am an investigator, even with a low rank. If my family is hurt, what is the use of my job?" Then a joking chuckle came after his words.

"But, you didn't say it to me. I would be some help." Roger said, worryingly. His father just sighed and tapped his shoulder to assist.

"That is why I didn't tell you, because I heard from your mom that you rushed outside after seeing her harmed. I don't want that attitude from you, Roger. So, just to be sure, I and your mother also didn't inform Kyla, not until earlier."

Roger understands why his father hid it from him. Of course, it is natural for humans to act in this way. It is an instinct of kinship that if one member is in danger and being bullied, another member will courageously bring himself to help and set justice, even if it does result in some injuries.

Roger already knew this. In some cases, he wanted to hide the fact that he was the boss of a gang. He was just thankful that the incident hid it from his parents since the neighbors weren't that talkative about Roger's case being a leader of the past hoodlums.

He was also afraid that his mother would request him to stop this practice. That is why he was limiting his jobs to managing the Demonyo Clan, making them independent but still working for him.

He is shameless, and even if they think that he needs their gratitude for working with him, they must be shameless as well. He couldn't just ignore it if it worried him about losing his job.

"I am sorry dad if I made you worry about my actions. It won't happen again." Kyla had reservations about what Roger said since she really knew Roger's nature. Even if it were not currently public, Roger would still continue doing it in secret.

Also, Kyla is already involved in it, and making it a secret is just natural for her since they are both in this situation.

Kyla also thinks highly of her family. She doesn't want anyone to trample them or hurt them. She already knew that Roger would be able to handle himself, but for their parents... it is a bit unconvincing to think that they could handle themselves.

As people age, they also feel responsible for things. That is why these two siblings felt responsible for their family as if they were the foundations of the family.

It is not. It is just a normal feeling for a member of a family to protect their kin.

Roger's father only smiled, then again, tapped Roger's shoulders, saying, "It is okay. I've already got a lead. And I think it is part of the gang wars between the Red Bulls and Green Falcons."

Roger acted naturally, listening to his father's words.

"My colleagues had found that these two gangs were putting much pressure on our neighborhood. So, in accordance with it, we requested some help from the headquarters." His father said.

Roger's father is an investigator who is under the Hunter Association, and also, even with how little his job to society looks like, the information they hold isn't a joke. At least they knew what was under an iceberg.

"But why only now? If I think logically, Mom's incident wasn't the first one, since for them to act this way, they must have felt leniency from the government."

Roger was curious how his father's agency could pull those strings to request some help from the headquarters. And of course, suspecting that he would be affected by it since he was the one who held the gang in the Blue Neighborhood.

"Well, we included the help of investigating the sudden appearance of 30 Awakens. That is why we were able to pull the strings." His father said.

And just like that, Roger had learned that his time would be limited. He would've needed some time to prepare, to at least establish his secret identity.

"Also, Roger, I am afraid that you have to stop what you are doing in the neighborhood." Just as soon as Roger heard it, his eyes dilated in surprise.

"What do you mean, dad?" Roger asked, even though he had some suspicion about what his father was implying. At least he should play dumb for a short time.

"You are managing the hoodlums in our neighborhood. I don't know how you did it, and also, I know why you are doing it, but won't it be dangerous? " And just at that, Roger felt some strings in his system had been damaged.

And just as he feared, his mother was worried. She reacted to what his father said.

"What? Roger was managing the hoodlums?"

Roger could only sigh as he then listened to his mother's barrage of worrying words. It only lasted for a few seconds, but he could still notice how his mother was worried. And also, Kyla could only scratch her nape in this situation.

And as Roger's mother was starting to panic, Roger put his hands on both shoulders of his mother.

"Mom, I'm sorry. Don't be worried, I won't do it again. Just calm down, okay? They aren't even that violent these days." Roger explained.

"Even still, they were criminals before, so it is still dangerous since they can fight."

"I know, Mom. That is why I am doing my best so that they won't do it again. With my supervision, they won't continue doing what they did before. It is also for our environment to be safe."

Roger's mother became silent as she looked at how dedicated and serious Roger was about it.

"Even still..." She contemplated it for a moment, released a sigh, and continued. "I will think in the meantime if you really have to leave them, Roger."

Roger just smiled and said, "Okay, Mom. I will just leave them for the meantime to see if they won't bring danger to me." Then Roger faced his father and continued, "And also, Dad, aren't you glad that I am showing some early talent for leadership?"

His father just smirked and retorted, "What a brat. Okay, I will think of it as well. Just be careful that you won't be connected to them if they have some hidden criminal practices. I will do my best to cover it for you in case you are framed."

"I know, Dad. Thank you."

And so on, after it, they decided to leave the room and continue on their way out of the building. However, Roger wasn't expecting to see who was waiting outside the hospital.

'A hostile intent...' Roger had felt the presence YT was emitting.. However, it was too late for Roger since another horror would be brought to his family at this time.
