Crack!

Suddenly, a wooden window broke with a loud noise!

"...?!"

"W-window?!"

Raymond and Hanson lost their souls to the lightning that struck the blue sky.

When he came to his senses, a stone the size of a fist broke the window and rolled around in the building.

"This..."

Raymond's complexion turned white.

It was an attack!

Someone threw the stone on purpose!

'Who? Why?'

Raymond was in chaos.

At that time, Hanson screamed again.

"S-senior! Look at this!"

Once outside, something even more startling happened.

The mark of the healing wand on the door had a bright red X on it.

And there was a text underneath it.

[This is not a playground for kids.]

[If you don't want to die, get lost.]

It was an eerie red phrase as if written in blood.

"..."

Raymond closed his mouth.

Something was going on unexpectedly.

***

"We have to leave this place right now, senior! It's dangerous!"

Hanson shouted urgently.

Seeing this in front of his eyes, it was a natural reaction.

Raymond also agreed that the situation was not good.

'People's reactions are much more hostile than expected. If it stays like this, there could be a dangerous situation.'

As said many times before, the slums here were beyond the reach of security forces.

There was a good chance that a dangerous situation would arise if someone with hostile intentions tried to cause harm.

A situation where, frankly, it might be wise to leave.

However, Raymond shook his head firmly.

"No. I won't leave."

"Senior?"

"It could be dangerous like you said, so Hanson, you can leave. No, I'll just be left alone, so you pack up and leave."

Hanson gave him a look of incomprehension.

Raymond sighed inwardly.

'Honestly, I'm scared, too. I want to leave.'

It was Raymond, who was far from ballsy.

After seeing the red warning sign as if it were written in blood, his heart still fluttered.

However, there was a reason why he couldn't leave even though he was so nervous.

'I took out a large loan from Healer Loans to build a treatment center. If I walk away from this, I'm screwed.'

Raymond groaned.

Penniless, what money did he have to find a building, medicinal herbs, and healing tools.

It was all financed by the Healer Loans.
