After some days, the ten that trained with the Green Falcons side came back with greater results. They now all had the basic forms as well as a slightly better build.

Roger could only look at them with a delightful expression. And also, Mark has a good report to make. It is about the dungeon-diving job some of them were doing. As they are hunters now, they have the opportunity to bring money to the gang.

"It is not much, but I hope that this will be enough, Boss," Mark said, slightly lowering his head, showing Roger the numbers of money in a bank account.

Roger only looked at Mark with an uncertain expression and uttered, "Why are you showing it to me? It is yours. Treat yourselves and buy a house. 500,000 dollars is enough for you to buy an apartment and use that as your house."

Everyone was silent as Roger said it. In the vacant lot that they frequently used as a meeting spot, everyone stopped what they were doing. However, they weren't believing what Roger said; they were doubting it, as they know that sometimes Roger is only influenced by his mood.

"Uh... Boss, you are not joking, right?" Mark asked, as the representative of the members.

Roger only looked at Mark and others, while he was sitting at one side, he let out a sigh and stood up. Everyone retracted, which also made Roger confused.

"Why are you acting like that? Did something wrong happen?" Roger asked, irritatedly.

"Uh... It is because, boss, we know what happened with the Red Bulls." One of the 10 returners said.

Roger sighed again and then cleared up what they might be thinking. "So what? It does not affect you, right? I am not mad that you weren't able to do much. When I was around, I tasked you with leaving my family, so it was a flaw on my part. You are all still untrained at some point, so you don't have much to do. Just continue to cultivate."

Roger talked in a vague way, so they weren't able to understand what he meant. And that also made Mark ask Roger again.

"Boss, what do you mean by that? From the looks of it, we expect you are mad and slightly hot-headed."

Roger glared at Mark, "What did you say? Do you think I can't control myself? Tsk..."

"But Boss, what happened to the Red Bulls? We are curious." Mark continued.

"Ah... I killed their boss."

When Roger said it, everyone was astounded. Roger killed who? It felt like they misheard it. After all, they all know how monstrous the boss of the Red Bulls is. Apart from rumors, some of them have seen him in action.

"T-The stupid yet monster boss of the Red Bulls? You were able to kill that monster?" Some of them asked, and Roger only nodded.

Then, from the returners, using what they had heard, they confidently raised their chests to brag about what they had learned.

"It is easy for Boss since he was able to evade bullets that only S-Rank Awakens could do."

"Really?! Is the boss that strong? Wow... I am ready to worship him by now!"

Their praise continued to reach Roger's ears, and they all looked like they had forgotten that Roger was in front of them because of their praises. And Roger could also just secretly smirk as his plan was working. These people are now starting to see Roger not only as their boss but now as their role model.

"Enough with it! Just do what I say, buy an apartment, and treat yourself. You deserve it. And tomorrow, prepare for another brawl for another 10 to be sent to the Green Falcons. Do it every week after returners arrive. After I graduate, I will personally train you."

Since after he graduate, Roger would have more time. Also, attending an academy for hunters isn't still on his mind. At least he knew that a person could be a hunter without being a civil servant or even finishing their studies.

These gang members of him are examples of his assumptions and his plan for the future doesn't only revolve around making his family safe. Now that he has seen the luxury of money, he is aiming to have an easy life by investing some of his time in being a hunter.

Well, from what he had seen, his people had earned a good amount of money just by hunting in dungeons. They weren't jokes; after all, money is money.

"So, you weren't joking, Boss?"

"I am not joking," Roger said, then started walking out of the vacant lot. "I'll be on my way home now. Be sure to check the streets before you go home. Also, the captives... they are useless; just release them."

When Roger arrived home, he saw a guest that was in the living room with his father. Apparently, he was a colleague of his father who was helping with the investigation. And as he got noticed, his father called him over.

"Good afternoon, sir. I am Roger Wyles." Roger introduced himself.

This man, the guest, has a warming atmosphere around him. He was wearing business attire as well as his hair was fixed well. He has slightly tanned skin.

"Oh... so you were the eldest that Robert was talking about? The one who manages the hoodlums in the neighborhood, right?"

Roger only nodded and followed his father's gesture, letting him sit on the couch with them.

"But may I ask, do you know the reason why those 30 Awakens were in here?" The guest said, which made Roger surprised. He wasn't expecting them to discern it, but thinking about it, it is possible since the information in the Hunter Association could be given to his father's agency.

"Ah... about it... It turns out that I am an Awaken myself as well. And coincidentally, they ended up being Awakens, so I handled them so that they wouldn't use their potential for criminal activities." Roger argued.

The guest only raised his eyebrow and then took a sip of his tea. He then made a remark.

"Isn't it an understatement to say it is a coincidence?"

'Fuck.' Just hearing it, Roger realized that it would be investigated. And if things don't go well on his side, he might put his family's safety at risk.

"We still don't know how you were able to handle that number of good hunters, but I commend you for your leadership." The guest said.

Roger was getting agitated about it. And as he looked for a way to escape this hot seat, he looked at his father. However, not expecting it, his father was anticipating something.

'Tsk. There's no way that my father won't side with me... But I can't be complacent. I have to consider this an opportunity and pull this guest as my accomplice.'

"I don't know, sir, why you are asking me these types of questions and making such remarks, but I do have secrets that I can't tell you. So, instead of answering those questions, you have in mind, shall we have a deal."

That is the only possible way to escape this. He can't underestimate the ability of investigators. After all, his father was an agent who had learned that he had some hoodlums around the neighborhood. Even with how public it was, he still hoped that it wouldn't reach his parents' knowledge since he knew that they weren't close with the neighbors.

He knew that they were friendly, but not to the point that they could talk with each other about him... Or did he expect it to be that way? Was he wrong?

"Deal? Hmmm... You seem to be confident. What a deal is it?" The guest said.

And as soon as those words reached his ears, Roger's confidence skyrocketed.

"I am an Awaken, right? However, I also have showcased my talents in leadership, so as a deal, how about you become our backer? I mean, I am a graduating student, and by the time I graduate, I can create a guild of my own. How about working as our backer?"

It was a risky and impromptu deal, he thought, and it was not part of the plan he was thinking of. But what could he do? His father and this guest were making his seat hot for some reason.

He doesn't know what they were thinking, and it is another result of underestimating the people in this world. After all, he has confidence because of the experiences he has had, but not to the point where he can predict it each time.

He isn't nervous or afraid of something, but he is agitated that his family might be in danger because of the things he did. As well as, now that he is a murderer, to escape imprisonment, he can only try to bring someone to his side that could limit the information from reaching others.

One possibility is to have someone from an information agency... His father could be reached, but not entirely as he would put his father's job on the line. So, a different person is most likely an ally.

This is really not part of the plan, but he should try it.

"I am planning on creating a guild, and as you have seen, my qualities aren't a joke. So, I am proposing that you become our backer. You could say that you will have a part in the guild and also earn more than what you are earning in your agency. You are working with Awakens and hunters as well, so... how about it?"

Roger had confidently made a deal, but he didn't expect the reply that this guest was about to make.
