Chapter 27 - 27

"Mom!" Roger hurriedly ran to his mother, who was helplessly keeping her breath stable.

When his mother saw him, she grinned bitterly as he helped her sit on the couch in the living room.

Roger immediately assessed his mother's condition and panickedly examined the abdominal wound she had. He asked as he clenched his teeth, realizing that he could still save her.

"What happened, mom?"

"Nothing... just get me the first aid kit, this will get better," his mother replied, trying to divert the conversation.

"No, mom, I am asking. What happened? Why are you bleeding like this? Who did this to you? " Roger clenched his fist as he remembered what he had said to his people.

'They can't even do one job after all the efforts I've made for them. I only wanted them to be safe.'

However, as his mother saw his worried face, she could only want to protect him from rushing into the situation. And as Roger panickedly stopped the bleeding, his mother replied.

"Just get me the first aid kit."

"Kyla! Get down here!" Roger exclaimed, uncontrollably containing his anger at the situation.

Kyla abruptly opened her door and violently went down with an ugly expression, but as soon as she saw her mother wounded, she immediately changed her expression.

"Mom!" She rushed to her mother's side and worriedly looked at her.

Meanwhile, Roger was crinkling his forehead and his eyebrows were meeting.

"Kyla, stay here with mom. And help her stop the bleeding. Call an ambulance, I'll take care of this."

"Wait! Where are you going?" she asked.

On the other hand, their mother was so weak that she couldn't even gather the strength to go against Roger's words. She was still lying down on the couch, while Kyla was pressing the wound on her abdomen.

"I said, I will take care of this. I can stay like this if I know that my mother was hurt, " he said.

Then, without wasting any time, he rushed outside with his fist in his hand, clenching like a ball, ready to hit someone.

'Even with how worried I am, I can't bring myself to show my full strength. I am afraid that the family I had in this world will turn their back on me after learning it.' Roger thought as he knew that even though he wanted to heal his mother, he couldn't bring himself.

He was just thankful that his mother would be safe with just first aid, as it would be even more dangerous to heal her with his inner energy.

Healing a normal person with only inner energy is quite dangerous for someone who has no control over inner energy. Also, Roger doesn't know if his mother is even compatible with the healing using Qi.

Qi and mana are both different in particles when it comes to healing. As it would be easy for those who had mana, it would be difficult for Qi users.

The knowledge Roger knew was just the latest discovery he had made in comparing mana and Qi as magic power. And as he noticed that alchemy in Kluma was the best way to treat someone, he was at a disadvantage.

Due to modernity, alchemy is not possible in this world. Also, since he didn't practice much alchemy, he wasn't confident in treating her using this method.

He could only pray for the ambulance to come before she lost consciousness. Even if it wasn't lethal to take her life, he wanted to let her mother feel that she was okay without worrying about death coming.

And as Roger had already reached a corner of the neighborhood, he saw Mark.

"Mark!" he shouted, grabbing his attention.

Mark ran to him in a worried expression, and as he stopped in front of him, he immediately prostrated.

"Please forgive me, Boss. The neighborhood is in turmoil."

Roger was about to punch him, but seeing how Mark was panicking over the situation, he kept his hand on his side.

"What happened? Did you know that my mother was wounded?"

Mark's eyes widened in surprise and he only hid his face on the ground. There was also a slight trembling in his body as he felt Roger's emotions reaching him.

"I didn't know. Please forgive me. The Red neighborhood caused some trouble with the help of the Red Bulls. They were trying to take over our neighborhood because of some grudge they had over the Green Falcons."

The Blue neighborhood, which was Roger's neighborhood, had the closest neighboring neighborhood, which was the Green neighborhood, under the watch of Green Falcons. And just next to the Green neighborhood is the Red neighborhood, which has the Red Bulls and is also the Green Falcons' enemy.

And thinking of it, it seems like the Red Bulls were trying to sandwich the Green Falcons by taking over the Blue neighborhood, which, from the knowledge of everyone, has no gang or family hold on it.

"Being the Blue neighborhood, the last neighborhood and closest to the woods, they think that they can just defeat Green Falcons by using our space? They were overestimating themselves." Roger mumbled in a low tone.

He then looked at Mark, who was still prostrating, and asked him to stand up.

"Get up. Describe what was happening? These gangs are stepping on my nerves; it totally irritates me. Tell me all you know about them."

Mark stood up and told Roger everything he knew, starting with the event that made both gangs hate each other.

"5 years ago, just when another small rift appeared in the Blue neighborhood, the Green Falcons tried to take over it by calling some Awakens they knew. However, it ended up being a double case since the Red Bulls also asked at the same Awakens."

"Having a conflict between the Awakens, they started playing things roughly. The Red Bulls started paying more than the Green Falcons in exchange for spying for them. Then the Green Falcons discovered it. However, it was too late because they lost much after the rift was closed."

"Years later, they got their conflict much stronger so that even normal citizens in each neighborhood got involved in the situation."

Roger just gritted his teeth after hearing those words from Mark. It was as if a shade covered his eyes, making them blurry and his thoughts unrational.

He understands the part where they fought over things in the past. It's understandable. However, what he couldn't accept was his mother's being wounded. It was even fortunate that the wound didn't pass through deeply enough to damage her organs.

If ever it happened, Roger would surely rampage.
