Roger had established his clan more after taking over the continent that had attacked them. But, as he was there again, he felt his life losing its meaning. He had this feeling again, and he was disappointed in himself.

Roger started living normally. He freed those lands after a few months. He gave them independence and lived without taking any life again. And just as his life was becoming more peaceful, he met a lady from an Orthodox sect.

He became curious about the lady, and he followed him back to their sect, but he was discovered. 

"For many years of spying and fighting with people, I never encountered someone that discovered my presence," Roger mumbled, looking at the lady who wore lavish clothes.

"I am an assassin if you don't know about it, Sir Feral Demon."

"You are an assassin, but you just revealed it to me. But wait, you know me?"

Just after that encounter, Roger became so curious about her that he would always visit her. After long weeks and months, they became so familiar with each other that they became couples. 

They had been so intimate with each other that they started being out to the public until they were discovered as partners. They married and lived happily ever after in the Demonyo Clan. However, no matter how peaceful Roger wanted to live, enemies created themselves and threatened Roger's family for some reason.

"What do you mean, revenge? I have already freed you from my governance, but you still dare to impose your anger on me? Well, I cannot complain since I was just like you before, but the difference is that I won, and you lose."

Roger killed their families, everyone who would go against them or fight them in their revenge.

"They must be stupid or blind for them not to see that I have already reached the peak of the 8th stage. If I pursue more, I could reach the 9th stage, which is the last stage."

Roger's wife, Iana, had a tremulous tone as she said, "My husband, can you please stop killing people anymore? Even threaten them, please stop doing that. We are already past our prime and this generation should be for the new generation."

Roger faced his wife with a puzzled expression. He was silent for a moment, but, as he tried to understand her, he smiled. 

"My wife, I think I get what you wanted to say, but this will be the last time I kill. I promise that this will be my last action for this generation."

"Thank you. I was worried as well since blood influences your personality. I don't want you to lose your sanity because of blood. It is not worth it."

Roger let out a sigh and smiled again, ruffling her hair. "I understand. Thank you for your words, my wife."

"Hooo... This is enough. My family is in danger, so I should probably forget about that. Right, my wife?"

Roger's system was in different emotions, but he was controlling himself so as not to lose his sanity. He had already unleashed some of his powers. If he continued, he might lose them as those powers he had were the result of blood.

'I don't get it, but I don't feel myself if I unleash all of my power. Is this about the memories I have with it or just about the pledge I made to myself because of my wife?'

Roger was still contemplating it as he knew that there was never anything wrong with keeping himself sane.

'I just want a peaceful life by now, and having my whole power unleashed means I won't have any peace anymore. The whole world will try to look for me, and enemies will create their ways to be against me. Fear was never the limitation for greedy people.'

Roger then started flying and faced the direction where the District Overdrive was, but before he could move, a group of Awakens appeared behind him. They were A-Rank above and had the potential to be S-Rank, but Roger still didn't know it. What he knew was that the quantity of their magical power was high.

He squinted his eyes as he approached the Awakens without being vigilant. Roger also didn't feel any hostility from them, which made him decide to approach them and see their purpose.

"You are Roger Wyles, right?"

"What about it?" Roger asked.

"Your family was captured by the Supreme Council."

Roger assessed them before he replied. 

There were a total of six of them, and each of them wore cloaks that covered their entire bodies. But, despite the covers, Roger could see their body physique as well as their aura. He could see their faces, despite the cover, but he pretended to ignore them as irrelevant as it was.

Roger continued to have his eyes narrowed. Then, he asked, "Don't you think I already know about it?"

The representative of the group didn't make any sound after Roger's words; he only looked at him. Roger began to see their intent when they appeared to be a cult or something.

"Are you from a cult?"

"Huh, no... Wait, why are you so calm?" 

Roger remained with his uncertain expression and answered, "The last time I acted recklessly, it was not even worth it as I expected."

As a result of that simple answer, the group was muted as Roger continued speaking. "I can see that you are a cult since you like to hide your faces. But, even though you have some hidden intention of approaching me, I wanted to know at least what it was."

"Roger Wyles, we are from the Anti-Society Supreme Council. We oppose the Supreme Council's actions, which is why we are here to assist you."

Roger nodded with his lips curled downward and looked unbothered by their words. "Hmmm... I see... You are recruiting me, right? But, why are you recruiting me?"

"Because your family was abducted by the Supreme Council, we presume that you are going to attack them and take back your family. Your method is obvious."

Roger exhaled a cold breath and retorted, "I was going to do that."

"We are here to help you, Roger Wyles. If you want to know more about us, we are willing to explain it to you." One said.

Roger gave them discerning eyes. "How about you start by now? How did you know me?"

"We saw your information. We learned that you are being targetted by the Supreme Council, but since we were not sure of the information, we waited for you to arrive at the District Overdrive."

"Continue."

"When we saw them, we already knew that they were using the common method of manipulating a person by using a hostage. We rushed back to the Line City, but unfortunately, we were already late."

Roger was silent as they continued their explanation in the air. He was attentively listening to them, his eyes shot with spiritless emotion. 

"Unfortunately... I see... I understand your goal, but I am not interested. I am going back to the District Overdrive."

Roger was about to move away from them when they suddenly gave him a suggestion. "How about you join us, and we'll help you take back your family. You see, the Supreme Council has been doing this for too long, and we were formed to stop them. They are using new Awakens with higher potential for their atrocious cause of invading the whole world."

Their intention was now revealed, and it was enough for Roger to stop. He faced them back and sighed. "That is not my problem anymore. My family comes first, and since they were here not long ago, I can still find them."

"They have a teleportation device, so you won't be able to do that."

Roger was silent again. 'I thought teleportation was impossible...' he thought.

"Then, what do you suggest? Join you? I don't even know your group."

"That is why we are introducing ourselves. Your method won't work. At least half of us did the same thing but still didn't get any result. You are only stepping on their traps." One said with a tight voice.

"Is that so... But how come you are sure that my methods won't work? Do you know me? Can you tell me why I am going to fail?"

The group looked at each other as they were slightly impatient with Roger's attitude. 

"It is because the location of the abducted people is still unknown. Even if you search the whole District Overdrive, you won't see any helpful information since they were exclusive." Another one said, with a soft voice.

'You don't know anything about that.'

Their encouraging words didn't work on Roger, but as little as they said, he was convinced that methods on Earth were different from Kluma. At least they were being reasonable and not discouraging him.

Roger continued to discern their intention. 'Since I already know their methods are different, I can still learn them if I join them. They don't have any ill-intentions towards me. That is at least I can see.'

'Joining them will be just learning their methods of getting information. Information on Earth is hard to get because of the complexity of the internet. '

Roger sighed and then gave his answer to them.. "I will join you if you can convince me of the purity of your origin and also if you show me to your superiors."
