William Gerard Kingsman came out of the debris and witnessed a shocking scene. The creature that he could not touch was burned down into nothingness.
'He's so powerful!' William exclaimed inwardly and a question popped in his mind, 'Who's he?'
Such a strong hero must be famous, but the recent one who became the hot topic was Sun Zhou Yi. He had met Sun Zhou Yi in the waiting room and he was sure the young man who killed Fang Guo Ming was not Sun Zhou Yi.
Just as he wanted to approach the young man, an acute pain assaulted his chest.
"Kurgh!" William grunted as he held his chest.
Pooh!
He spat out the blood that gathered in his mouth before taking off his helmet as he fell with one of his knees.
The golden hair and gold eyes were revealed. His handsome face turned pale from the pain.
Fang Guo Ming's strike on him caused an internal injury. Just as he was about to stand up, a shadow loomed over. William looked up and saw the young man who killed Fang Guo Ming stood in front of him.
William was startled as he failed to notice the young man's movement. But the shock lasted for a moment as the young man handed him a green pill.
"Take this! It will stabilize your internal injury!" Heero tossed the green pill over William.
Even though he did not know the young man's identity, out of his kindness he helped the young man by giving him the pill. After all, this foreigner tried to protect his family before.
William caught the pill with a flabbergasted look on his face. He did not know why, but by just looking at the young man's kind face, he was not suspecting the young man a little bit and swallowed the green pill.
Soon, a cooling sensation spread all over his body. It eased the pain on his chest before he coughed up mouthful blood. Further relieving his pain.
Heero left William alone after he tossed the green pill.
Looking at Heero's back, admiration reflected on William's eyes. Feeling a stare from his back, Heero stopped his steps and looked back.
"If you need the same pill, you can buy the pill at Xing Pharmacy in the Xing District!"
After leaving those sentences, Heero headed toward the stage. However, his steps stopped once again as an alarm rang.
It was an alarm of indication the city was attacked. The same alarm when Level 10 Calamity attacked the city.
Heero also felt the smartwatch on his wrist vibrated fiercely. He looked down and a bright warning could be seen on the screen.
He touched the warning and text appeared, a horde made of an unknown creature attacked the city. It was said the second outpost outside the city had fallen and asked the citizens to evacuate to the inner region.
Heero skipped over, finding the details about the attack below. The horde came from the north and west side of the city.
Feng Xinlun's face brightened when the alarm rang. The heroes were getting distracted by the alarm and he took this chance to escape.
"Tian Xou! Run!" With the shout, Feng Xinlun flapped his wings and escaped from the arena. He flew toward Ranker Alliance HQ.
Feng Tian Xou was madly attacking Musashi Naizen with his tonfa. With the new power he gained, he cornered Musashi Naizen.
Just as he thought he was going to win the battle, he heard the shout from his father. Feng Tian Xou stopped his attack and scanned the surroundings.
He was dumbfounded upon finding out that he and his father were the only ones who were alive. Without any shred of hesitation, he also followed his father.
He put his focus on Musashi Naizen earlier, so he did not know how all his family members died.
Taking the chance of the heroes distracted by the alarm, both father and son escaped from the Hero Dome.
Heero intended to finish the father and son, but he did not have an intention to pursue them after the warning issued by the Central Government.
He leaped back to where his wives were. They also opened the smartwatch to see the warning.
Heero came next to his wives and said, "Let's go back!"
Yes, as soon as the warning came to his smartwatch, Heero decisively decided to go back. Based on the current situation, he guessed these unknown creatures were specters.
Added with the beforehand incident, Heero knew the heroes would rather retreat to the commerce region than defending the outer city. He had to go back now and protect his district, his home.
As for the specters who ran amuck in the core region, he did not care. It had nothing to do with him, it was not his duty to protect these people, it was not his duty to kill the specters as well.
Hong Yu and Han Ying were pretty calm now. They believed their husband would protect them amidst the chaos. Thus, even though there were so many monsters that appeared in the arena, both sisters managed to keep their calm.
When they heard Heero's words, both nodded their heads. They also worried about the people who stayed in the district.
"What about you?" Heero turned toward Butcher Wang and asked.
"Of course I am also going back! I am not a hero, I have no obligation to protect these people!" Butcher Wang's words were pretty cold.
He had no sympathy for the people who lived in the core region. After all, these people treated him and his family like dirt. So, without Heero's command, he won't help these people.
"But can we come back on time?" Han Ying was worried about this. It took one and half an hour to return to the outer city with a bullet train.
She was afraid the monster breached the gate before they arrived at the outer city. After all, she regarded the people in the district as her own family. She did not want the people there to suffer from the horde attack.
"Don't worry, we can return on time~, " Heero comforted Han Ying.
As for the three little girls, Miao Miao, Myung-Hee, and Lan Lan. They were pretty excited, the excitement was plastered on their face as their gazes glued on Heero.
Yes, the excitement originated from the fight earlier. The way Heero killed the monster was simply amazing to them.
'My daddy is amazing!' Miao Miao clutched Heero's lower clothes as her eyes gleamed.
This time, Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata also joined the group.
"Master!" Both called out at the same time.
Heero nodded at them and said, "I will go back, you two stay here and help them!"
After that, he picked Miao Miao and Myung-Hee up, putting them on his shoulder. Then, he also picked up Lan Lan too.
"You four! Come closer!" His words were directed to Butcher Wang, Lan Lan's Mother, Kang Dong-Woo, and Xu Lingxun.
They did not know what Heero wanted to do, but they came closer to him.
"Young Man! Why don't you help us as well?" Long Bin who followed Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata called out.
He had witnessed the young man in front of him was capable as well. He watched the whole scene of how Heero killed Fang Guo Ming. Without a doubt, the young man was extremely powerful and would be a great help to expel the specter's attack.
"I did my best to help, but I have to go back to the outer city to protect my home now!" Heero said those words while nodding apologetically to the Old Man. He also raised his smartwatch which showed a warning from the Central Government.
"Young Man! This region is the command center of Star City! This is the most important place we have to protect! Moreover, people in the outer region would evacuate to…"
Heero raised his hand to stop Old Man and replied in a calm tone, "I am sorry, Old Man! For you, maybe, this region is the most important place to protect. But for me, my home is the most important place to protect!"
"Moreover, I paid the hero tax to let the heroes protect the city, not otherwise, " Heero added jokingly.
Without waiting for the old man to reply, suddenly Heero's figure went up to the air. Not only Heero, but the people around him also went up along with him.
Under the shocking gaze of the people around him, Heero's figure shot up to the air, leaving the arena. Of course, the people around also flew away with him.
Bai Xin Yue, Kang Seo-Yeon, Long Bin, and Musashi Naizen were shocked. Even Sun Zhou Yi was shocked as well.
Only Musashi Hirata who had experienced Heero Express could keep his calm.

Meanwhile, in front of the Hero League HQ, chaos ensued as the specters also attacked the Hero League HQ.
The specters battled against the heroes that placed around the HQ. The battle took place around the HQ as the specter numbered to hundreds attacked while the heroes defended their HQ.
The leader of the specter who was also the leader of Shadow Fang, Shadow Fang himself stood before the entrance of the HQ.
There was an old man with white hair standing at the entrance, blocking Shadow Fang from entering the HQ. This old man was Bai Xian Ming.
Shadow Fang was wearing a black cloak, covering his whole body well and his face was also hidden behind the black cloth.
However, Bai Xian Ming's instinct alarmed him that this guy was very dangerous.
"Long time no see, old friend!" Shadow Fang spoke with his hoarse voice as he pulled the cloth that covered his face.
Bai Xian Ming's eyes enlarged in surprise as he saw a familiar face behind the black cloth.
"You are still alive!!!"
