Chapter 64: Guild Building [4]

When Roger entered the building, it was like a huge meeting hall. There were people in the middle of the room, surrounding a round table. When he made his steps obvious, these people shifted their gazes towards him. 

There were at least four people. It could be the total number of gangs in the alliance, but it could also be a facade. It might be fake, but who cares? Roger felt that he could do anything at this moment.

He finally saw how powerless these gangs were. They were only using their power from being a group, but their individual powers were all jokes. Compared to Mighty, they were nothing, as Mighty was an Awaken.

"Who are you?! How dare you enter this establishment without any worry? Get lost before we kill you!"

This is a common form of intimidation.

Roger smirked, then dashed to these people with his hands prepared to grab their necks. But then, before he could grab their necks, guns appeared out of nowhere. They were surrounding Roger.

Roger took a pause and just glared at his first target, who was trembling in fear. Even with fear, he was still confident as he knew that they would successfully bait Roger.

"Ho... Look at you. Are you still confident? Move, or else your head will blow."

"Hahaha... Who are you anyway? Who sent you? How could you accumulate that much blood? Are you an Awaken hired to assassinate us? That's pitiful of you."

"We are the alliance that would bring the Red Bulls down. Are you from the Red Bulls? That is why you are killing our men? That's absurd since you are about to die."

"But first, before you die, should you explain first how you were able to come to this point? How strong are you?"

Roger moved his hand near the neck of the man, but the guns were repointed at him, making him take a pause.

"Are you really curious about how strong I am?" Roger asked.

Even though these people in the round circle were acting as if they were the gang bosses, he knew they were only faking. They were acting as bait.

"Of course... Even though it will be your last breath, we are still curious. Are you an Awaken? What rank? How come the guns I gave my men were not able to stop you?" 

They continued asking, but Roger just continued to smirk. His smirk was as if he was trying to make them irritated.

"Do you want to know how? Well... it was because bullets were nothing to me." Roger answered, then rapidly moved to grab their necks. Within just a snap of a finger, the heads of the four people at the round table detached from their necks.

Roger stood before them with his head on the ground, as if nothing had happened. When these gangs noticed it, they all shouted, "Open fire!"

This time, they purposely pointed their guns solely at Roger as they witnessed his rapid movements.

'How? How?! How?! Is he so fast?!'

Roger dodged each of their bullets, leaving few after images. He then went to each of the gangs' bosses as he had noticed their fighting spirit. When he finally located them, he detached their heads from their necks, instantly stopping everyone.

It just happened within three seconds, and the next moment, what they knew was that their bosses were already dead.

They were silent, and all they could think of was that terrifying scene that happened before them. It was gruesome. Roger's hands were covered with blood as if it was his norm. 

Each of them was silent. They weren't able to register what had happened before them. They didn't know what to do next as they were frightened of Roger. And at that sign, Roger knew that they were already afraid of him.

Arrogance could only exist with them when their leaders were with them. But what would happen if their cardboard boss appeared to be dead in the next second?

This is not possible... It wasn't possible for it to happen as they knew that only S-rank Awakens could survive the rapid movements of the bullets. 

Rare cases might result in unexpected moments like being immune to bullets or speed attribute Awakens. However, why would they expect S-ranked Awakens if they were in the District Wish?

"Are you loyal to your boss? If not, I will let you live." Roger stated, that made their knees weak. 

They all kneeled and supported themselves in defeat. He is a monster, and they know they should not fight. Even so, a small percentage of their population will consider avenging their boss.

"How dare you kill the bo-!"

Roger snapped his finger and what happened was that the person who was about to shout at him died for an unknown reason.

"I am asking again. Are you loyal to your boss? If you want to live, you should work for me. I will treat you better."

It was an uncontrollable surge of fear, but what could they do? Roger was the reason behind it, and their lives were at stake. So, even though fear had to be removed from them, they embraced it to survive.

"So... you are not loyal to your boss? That's good. You will live."

Roger then announced that they were now under the Demonyo Clan before leaving. He continued what he was pursuing. He cleaned the city of gangsters in just one night, until the last of them. He detached each gang boss to show an example of his power.

Until the next morning, everyone in the Line City didn't know what really happened. The news platforms were all talking about killing the tyrannical gangs that had held every neighborhood. 

Each member of the Demonyo Clan that was already under Roger explained to the citizens that it was a decree from the mayor to clean up the gangs. Even though it was gruesome, they asked for them to understand it.

The foundation of the Demonyo Clan was announced on the same day. And that day, a few protests happened about the gruesome events. They wished that it could be handled with words, but the victims of those gangs blocked these protestants, calling them "tyranny enablers."

Some questioned the purpose of the Demonyo Clan, but as the mayor was supporting them with a decree, it ceased to exist within just a short amount of time on that same day.

Plenty of things happened during that whole day. Roger acted as a representative and accepted the award from the mayor. His school changed their views of him. From fear and respect, it all changed to something unexplainable.

Will they see him as a fearsome person or someone who is totally above them? Because of what they could observe, Demonyo Clan is a supporter of the government. 

Their respect for him became unexplainable, as when they recalled his name, they would be in awe.

How come they were in the same school as a person like Roger?

"Say, Roger, why did you do that? How could you do something dangerous without even telling us?"

Roger was just silent in his seat while his family was surrounding him in their living room. On that same day, when the news of him accepting the reward as a representative reached him, his family rushed to him with a barrage of questions.

They were all about them being worried, but of course, it wasn't like they had no idea that it was about to happen. 

Roger's mother was already aware that he has an impulsive personality, which could be backed up by his actions in previous threats to their family.

His father and sister had the idea that Roger was capable of doing it, but what surprised them was that the group he was leading seized all of the gangs in the city. Worse, they killed someone.

"Roger..." Slowly, his mother's eyes started to form some tears. She felt betrayed at this point, which made Roger more powerless. He didn't know what to say, as, in the first place, he never planned on telling them.

But what could possibly happen? It is about to surface since this huge change must not remain a huge mystery to the people. If it happens, people will start to doubt them. 

Roger intended to gradually gain people's trust. And as it had already been three days since Roger had made a deal with his father, he could not be complacent anymore.

"Roger. Explain why you did that." His father said.

Roger let out a sigh and first apologized for why he didn't tell them. Then, afterward, he started explaining.

"I wanted to have a peaceful life, but I couldn't think of having it if I hadn't decided by now. I know I am still young, but as time goes on, things will just get more complicated."

"The Red Bulls were targeting us since our neighborhood should be in their hands to fight with the Green Falcons. Since I know that I have the ability to handle it, why would I let something bad happen?"

"It was my mistake to bring you into this mess, but I am getting more responsible. I only wanted things to be in order before I leave you guys." Roger said that made his family silent.

"W-What do you mean?" his mother asked.

"Mom... I already know about the rules of the districts. I assume that I am an Awaken higher than the middle rank. And since that is highly possible, I should leave District Wish and go to District Overdrive. If I leave things messy, how will I be complacent?"

Then again, they were silent until his mother cried.
