Sofy and Erin exchanged glances. They were sure something was wrong but they didn't dare t say anything to their father. 

Mr. Heffley had already called for medical support from the nearest hospital. Only because he told his name, the nurses came out of a portal. It was a normal white portal.

Another two men appeared from another white portal. The sparkling white circle was shinning almost invisible to naked eyes. 

They took out two stretchers from the portal. They put Finn and Edward on the stretchers then they exited from the portals. 

"I hope it's not serious," Mrs. Heffley stood there with hands on her mouth. 

"Did you look at their bodies?! It is serious!" He shouted. No one spoke anything, Tim shivered when his father shouted all of a sudden.

The situation was already too much for him. He saw his own brothers beaten down to the ground with blood all over, then his father starts shouting all of a sudden. He was a few years early to see the gore he saw today.

The white portals disappeared in the air. After a few seconds, another portal started forming in the air. It was a black-colored portal. 

"Mr. Heffley. Please," the man standing in front of the portal bowed down the family before saying anything. He slid aside from the portal allowing the Heffleys to step in. 

"Come, Tim." he grabbed his son's hand and went inside, leaving the ladies behind without giving a care about what happens to them, to him, only his sons were important.

"Hey," before Erin could step inside the portal after her mother, her sister pulled her shoulder, "What do you think happened here?"

Erin turned around to answer her sister, she saw her mother disappearing in the portal, "Were not they behind someone? Their usual thing?" 

"Don't play that game with me, you know what I am talking about." Erin looked away then nodded.

"It must have been another family. They must have sent their assassins."

"I know right, even if we are not in Alaska, it's not possible a single guy could take them out,"

"Father did spend a lot of money on them after all. He will not be able to handle the shock if a single guy has taken them out."

"Ugh. I just can't imagine his outbreak. I hope it was an attack on us," Sofy had disgust over her face. 

"Here's my theory," Erin walked towards the portal, "The guy they were behind… I think that guy messed up with them deliberately so that they can come for him. It did happen, our bros did go after him.

"But they didn't know, an ambush was already planned to kill them, or to injure them severely and leave them alive as a mark of the start of a Royal War between families, a civil war."

"Okay. that's too much. Why would they wanna start a war? The underworld will take advantage of it. Just which family would attack us? And why?"

"Because of father's attitude he has created many enemies than he can even think about. He doesn't treat another family member with respect. He doesn't think before speaking, he shouts at anyone, anywhere… but I still love him."

"They left Finn and Edward alive… which means they gave us a warning, or they have started a war. A Royal war in times like this? When times are already desperate for help from each other?"

"You are right. We ourselves need help from other Royal families as the Underworld is gaining power over us, a war might break out anytime,"

"Yeah…. Those attacks on Academy? They had a battle, you know? Times are getting really desperate,"

"And a Royal war right now? We will be doomed, Sofy," Erin sighed.

"But what good will it bring to them? What if the underworld took this as an advantage to start a war with Trait Masters? Even Royal Families will be doomed!"

"What good will it bring them huh?" Erin started thinking about various possibilities, "Maybe… it's the Mafia who attacked them?" 

After hearing that, Sofy's eyes went wide with fear. That was the worst-case scenario possible. She had thought about it herself but wanted to deny that case scenario.

"Girls! What are you doing?! Hop inside, they saw your brothers have gained their consciousness," 

Mrs. Heffley called her daughters from the portal which was still opened waiting for Sofy and Erin to enter.

"Looks like we will get our answers,"

"Let's ask them," both stepped inside the portal, it closed behind them. Two sisters continued following their mother to meet their brothers who just gained their consciousness.

< Quest ten: Defeat Edward Heffley, failed. This Quest still stands but the rewards might change >

< Fought and defeated Finn Heffley, a semi-S-grade Trait Master, successfully >

Ryan's speed slowed down after receiving those notifications. He was not sure what the System meant by 'The Quest still stands' but he was distracted from that thought by more messages.

< Gained 240 exp for defeating Finn Heffley >

< A Milestone achieved: First time defeating a semi-S-Grade Trait Master, gained extra 600 exp >

< Blood Storage Lv. 1 >

< Blood storage: Allows you to store blood inside your body additional to your original blood level and HP >

< Blood storage level 1 will allow you to store 25 milliliters of blood. One milliliter of blood will be used, in case your HP drops low, to heal one point of your HP / Blood level >

'Wow~' Ryan's eyes were popping out after reading about his new skill, 'Now this is what I needed!' his eyes glowed as his body wanted to heal itself but because of his low blood level, Ryan didn't allow his body to heal.

A level-up would not heal all his stats. If he was tired, he would not feel good all of a sudden, if he was hurt, the pain will not go away suddenly. 

< HP: 5/40 >

< Blood level: 1/40 >

< Blood storage: 0/25 >

"This might be enough…." Doc started slowing her pace, "We might be far away, we can stop now." Doc told Ryan, he slowed his pace and suddenly brought himself to a stop. 

"D- Doc, blood?"

"Ah! ….. I don't." she sighed. 

"Really? I mean, look into the void or something? At least a yellow tube?" Doc noticed how desperate Ryan was to get his hands on a blood tube. 

"I- I really don't, Ryan."

Ryan felt hopeless, 'Damn. I don't wanna lose my consciousness right now....'
