Chapter 2 - The Decision to Face the Gangsters

Noah found himself facing one of the gangsters as he ran towards the source of the scream. The man was tall and muscular, brandishing a knife. Noah stood his ground, not knowing what was going to happen next. But he was determined to protect the innocent man, even if it meant risking his own life.

Without activating his hidden force, Noah relied on his strong mind, body, and fast reaction speed. He watched the gangster's every move and anticipated his attacks. The two engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging blows and dodging each other's attacks. Despite his training and quick reflexes, Noah was no match for the experienced gangster. He was soon overpowered and was left with a deep gash on his arm.

However, before the gangster could do any more harm, the villagers arrived and overpowered the remaining gangsters. Noah was relieved to see that the innocent man was safe and sound. He stumbled back, feeling the weight of the battle take its toll on him. He had never been in a fight before, and the adrenaline was starting to wear off.

As he lay down on the ground, he felt his aunt's hand on his forehead. She scolded him for getting involved in the fight, telling him that she was worried about him. "Why did you have to come and fight with those gangsters?" she asked. "If something had happened to you, what would I have done?"

Noah listened to her scolding silently, knowing that she only did it because she loved and cared for him. He had lived with her ever since he was a child, and he knew that she was like a mother to him. He smiled at her and assured her that he was fine.

As the sun began to set, Noah was taken back to the temple, where he was put to bed. He was exhausted from the fight and was soon fast asleep. He slept for half a day, and when he finally woke up, he felt renewed. He was no longer just a young man living in a temple - he was a protector, a defender of the innocent.

In the aftermath of the fight, innocent man came to his aunt, who had adopted Noah and raised him as her own son to thank Noah in saving him. While Noah Aunt Alia scolding Noah for getting involved in the fight and risking his life, but at the same time, she can see the compassion and bravery in his eyes. She realizes that she can't keep him from being who he truly is, and that he will always stand up for what is right, no matter the danger.

Despite her scolding, Noah knows that she loves him deeply and only wants what is best for him. He listens to her words and promises to be more careful in the future, but he also knows that he will not back down from what he believes in. The innocent man, who was saved by Noah, thanks him for his bravery and offers to help him in any way he can.

From this encounter, Noah begins to understand the true extent of his abilities and the potential danger that they pose to those around him.

Noah's concern for the safety of the temple and the innocent people living in the village led him to seek a solution to the threat posed by the gangsters. He went to the high priest of the temple to inquire about any information they might have received from the gangsters.

The high priest informed Noah that the village head had tried to extract information from the gangsters, but all they could get was that there were ten members in their gang and only four of them had come to the temple. This meant that the leader of the gang was still out there, and they could come back to take revenge.

Noah realized that they couldn't just sit back and wait for the gangsters to come back. He proposed an idea to the high priest, to gather information about the gangsters and plan a way to handle them. However, the high priest was shocked by Noah's proposal and outright rejected it. He scolded Noah for even thinking about it, worried about his safety and the possibility of losing him.

But Noah was determined. He reminded the high priest of the teachings that if they helped themselves, God would also help them. He also pointed out that he was stronger and faster than others, and if the situation got out of control, he would simply run away.

Seeing that Noah had made up his mind, the high priest relented. He agreed to let Noah go, but made sure that some strong villagers would accompany him for his safety. Noah was overjoyed and promised the high priest that he would be careful. He was now determined to gather information about the gangsters and plan a way to keep the temple and the villagers safe.

Noah set out on his mission to gather information about the gangsters with a team of strong villagers by his side. He went from house to house, talking to the villagers and trying to piece together any information that could help him. He learned about the gang's activities, their hideouts, and their leaders. He also learned that the gang was feared by many of the villagers and that they often extorted money from them.

With this information, Noah went back to the temple and shared what he had learned with the high priest and the other villagers. They held a meeting and discussed a plan of action.

After this they still decided to go to the gang hideout at night and gather more information before taking any further action against the gang.
