As Roger entered Yuno's father's room, he first felt the coldness in the air, but it was tolerable. He just reinforced his skin with some internal energy so that he could warm himself. And just when he looked for Yuno's father, the word that came into his mind was "ice."

Ice for the matter that Yuno's father's hair was white and his eyes were blue, which is different from his children. Roger became curious about his eyes, but then when Yuno's father called for them to move forward, he paused this curiosity.

"Good morning, Dad. This is Roger, the person I was talking about. The one who controls 30 Awakens in the Blue Neighborhood."

Yuno's father's head moved and looked at them. His eyes fell on Roger, then nodded. Later on, he swayed his hands in the air to order his son to get out of the room.

"You may leave. I only want to talk with Roger." His father said.

Even though he was agitated about this encounter between the two of them, Yuno just looked at Roger with worried eyes and nodded.

"Understood, Dad." Then Yuno finally left the room.

Yuno's father stood up from his seat and offered to take a seat on the couch. 

"You may sit there. You don't have to worry about anything."

Roger smiled, then sat down, and afterward, Yuno's father sat across from Roger on the couch. 

"I am Nikolas Sylvester, the Guild Master of the Cold Frost Guild." Nikolas introduced himself first and smiled at Roger, who was also respectfully introducing himself.

"I am Roger Wyles, the boss of the small gang in the Blue Neighborhood, the Demonyo Clan."

Nikolas jokingly scoffed and then said, "You don't have to be humble about it. It was impressive that you are the boss of 30 Awakens working as gangsters/hunters. But, would you mind if I asked how you did it?"

Roger didn't answer immediately and only looked at Nikolas with curious eyes. He then smiled and opened his mouth with a question.

"How come your eyes were blue?" Roger asked a question that made Nikolas dumbfounded by the sudden out-of-the-topic question.

Nikolas sniggered, then answered Roger, as he looked like a curious kid who was seeing his first cotton candy.

"This is the sign of the mastery of the ice element as a mage. Every master in our family had to wear blue contact lenses to compensate for their handicap."

Roger didn't expect to hear that, and that only made him silent for another few seconds. He carefully looked at Nikolas's eyes and then realized that they were really contact lenses that made Nikolas's eyes blue.

"So, they were really contact lenses." Roger mumbled, then followed, "Where can you get it? Is that an heirloom or did your family create those contact lenses?"

Nikolas gritted his teeth inwardly and smiled forcedly. He had never met someone who didn't budge with his presence, and Roger was the first to do it. Thus, this encounter was making him slightly irritated as Roger seemed to be disrespectful towards him.

"Our family creates these contact lenses."

"I see..."

Nikolas is only a C-Ranked Awaken, but despite his mediocre rank in the District Overdrive, his mastery of the Ice Element is the best in the District Wish, which could represent District Wish's power.

Even though he lives in the District Wish, his name is widespread in the District Overdrive as one of the overseers of the District Wish. But truth be told, he doesn't care less about the District Wish. As long as he lives his family's name in glory, he is satisfied.

"So... why do you want to build a guild, Roger?" Nikolas asked.

"Because I want to."

Nikolas was mute for that answer, as it wasn't even that logical or even informative to hear. When he got curious about Roger's real answer, he asked again.

"Can I hear your answer again? Why do you want to build a guild?"

Roger continued to answer his first answer and said, "Because I want to."

But technically, it wasn't the real and sincere answer Roger had. He was merely playing with Nikolas, as he had already noticed that Nikolas was being vigilant in front of him.

'What the hell... Why does this kid send that kind of gaze? It is too bothersome...' Nikolas thought.

'But, this is only normal. I had high expectations of Yuno's friends, and since Roger is his friend, I must expect that this kid must not be underestimated.'

"But may I ask? Is it really necessary to get acquainted with the cold to get a higher chance to awaken an attribute in ice?"

Nikolas took a pause, then sent discerning eyes to Roger. He then let out a sigh and then replied, "How did you know about it?"

"Is it true?"

"It is," Nikolas stated that made Roger nod.

But then, Nikolas asked once more. "Where did you learn that?"

"From your daughter, Luna. I just heard it when she said that she was preparing for her awakening." 

"So... you are also friends with my daughter?"

Roger didn't answer and just smiled at him. Then, Nikolas just stared at him in silence and then moved again with a question.

"So why do you want to build a guild?"

Nikolas was really curious about him, which is why he kept on asking the same question. However, he already knew that Roger had already awakened but was hiding the fact.

"Well, it is because I wanted to officially create my guild. I want to give my people the face of influence and power." Roger answered and finally satisfied Nikolas's curiosity.

Nikolas smiled, yet it wasn't his final question.

"Was that all? What's your intention of doing that?" Nikolas asked.

Well, Nikolas only wanted to be sure of Roger's character. He wanted to make sure that he wouldn't be helping someone who was dangerous and would also put his family in danger.

The reason he was willing to give Roger advice was because Yuno asked for it. And as a favor to Yuno's friend, he allowed him.

"Does that matter?" Roger replied.

"Yes, it does." 

Roger sighed, then again answered Nikolas's question.

"I just want to have an easy life in the future. Getting a touch of the luxurious life is not enough for me. I want to have more, but I am not willing to make anyone my enemy. I want it but not more, not less."

Nikolas didn't reply for a bit of a second, then talked again with Roger. They talked for a short time, then, later on, Nikolas helped Roger fix the paperwork, which was different from the paper he asked for from the mayor.

Processing with the Hunter Association is different from the process that must pass through the mayor. At least the procedures don't revolve around the mayor's decision.

After that, Roger left the building with contented emotion. The next day, he was expecting the mayor's call. He recognized the number as the same number that called him yesterday. He gave a satisfied smile and answered the call.

And then, there, Roger finally had the signal to go with his plan. He had already explained things over the phone, and the mayor was content with it. It was finally time for him to continue his plan to reform the city.

This city is not only where his neighborhood is located, but it is also where his family resides. Hence, he wanted to protect and reform the city to give his family a safer place before he pursued his goal of living a luxurious life.

On that same day, he went to the Green Falcon's base and met with Kaspher.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Kaspher asked.

Roger was just sitting on the couch, facing Kaspher with a smile.

"Did you prepare the people I asked?" Roger asked.

Kaspher nodded.

"Good. We will first go to the Jungle Heat and then go to the Blazing Bears." Kasphere was greatly confused, as Roger stated. He pondered for a second, then stood up from his seat and asked Roger his question.

"Boss, I can't understand. Why would you prepare people? Were you planning to attach the Jungle Heat and Blazing Bears?" Kaspher asked.

Roger just eyed him then nodded later on.

"But these people won't attack them. I will be the one who attacks, and these people will clean up the mess for me. How about it?" Roger said.

Kaspher just remained speechless, as, at the same time, he was dumbfounded by Roger's forward response. It was as if Roger just measly planned for it and didn't even give it much thought. 

But even so, he didn't doubt Roger's capabilities as he was a legendary who defeated an individual that took a power-up pill that was equivalent to an S-Rank monster.

"So.... The sun is starting to set, and our target time is to clean up the gangs in the Line City within this day before midnight."
