The meeting was put into a hold. The Executives were asking Heero to give them time to discuss this. Heero gladly gave them time to discuss, of course.
He and his two wives left the meeting room while the Executives remained on their seats.
Bam!
The door closed and caused a noise, breaking the silence atmosphere within the room.
"Then I will take my leave!" Kang Myung-Chul stood up from his chair.
However, his words attracted other people's stares. All of them looked at the GrandMaster Instructor. From their faces, they were seeking an explanation from the old man why he did decide to leave.
"My judgment will be biased! As you know, he is my granddaughter's husband, he's part of my family, meaning I am not in the state to discuss the proposal with you guys. If there's a vote then my choice is to support him!"
Park Yong-Gi nodded toward the old man, "Thank you for your consideration, Sir Kang!"
After knowing the reason why Kang Myung-Chul suddenly decided to leave, the Executives gladly let the old man leave.
As soon as Kang Myung-Chul left the room, everyone's attention was on the three old men with the highest position. Bai Xian Ming, Kim Jung-Mun, and Wu Shitian.
The Executives wanted to know their stance on whether they were supporting Heero or not.
"If you want to know my stance on this proposal, I agree with it! He has my support!" Kim Jung-Mun gave an unexpected answer.
Wu Shitian looked at his friend unbelievably. He could not understand the train thought of his friend. Why he trusted Heero that much, he did not understand, at all.
"If you are also asking my opinion then the answer is yes. I am also supporting the proposal!" Bai Xian Ming told his stance to the others.
Unknowingly, the atmosphere inside the meeting became a little bit tense. Getting two supports from the two most influential figures, Heero's proposal would most likely be accepted.
Only Wu Shitian maintained his silence. But everyone knew, it would be just a matter of time before Kim Jung-Mun would convince Wu Shitian.
The sudden turn of the event shocked the Executives. With support from the two Supreme Guardians, the proposal had a high chance to be accepted. Two out of four Ancient Families supported the reform, the backing power was just too big for them to oppose.
"The Musashi Clan will also support the reform!" All of sudden, Musashi Kaminaga voiced out the Musashi Clan's stance.
The Executives were beyond shocked at the sudden drop of an atomic bomb. Yes, Musashi Kaminaga was akin to an atomic bomb to the other executives.
They immediately turned toward Musashi Kaminaga with an unbelievable look plastered on their faces.
Explanation, it was what they wanted to hear from Musashi Kaminaga.
Musashi Kaminaga waved his smartwatch to the others. On the screen was a message from the Head of the Musashi Clan, Musashi Kenzan.
[Support the reform!]
With the declaration from Musashi Kenzan, Heero just gained additional support from another ancient force, the founder of Star City. Three of the four remaining founders supported the reform.
Park Yong-Gi held his chin as he fell into deep contemplation.
'Three founder forces… The reform is inevitable… There's no need to ask Brother, it's better to show the Park Family's stance right now to show our goodwill to the reform!'
"The Park Family will also agree to the reform!"
Swoosh!
This time everyone turned toward the young Executive. Park Yong-Gi actively participated in the beforehand scheme to get Heero's secret technique through SES. But how he suddenly supported the person he schemed. It certainly surprised everyone.
Clap!
"Let's hold the meeting for the time being! You can go back and discuss this matter with your household. This matter is just too big to come up with a decision now!" Bai Xian Ming announced with a clap of his hand.
The Executives certainly agreed with that. They could not come up with a decision without an order from their backing
The meeting ended with no conclusion and the Executives immediately excused themselves and left the conference room. Leaving Wu Shanxi and Kim Sunghyon alone with the Supreme Guardian.
"You can go back without me, Sunghyon, " Kim Jung-Mun waved his hand toward Kim Sunghyon.
"You too, Shanxi!" Wu Shitian also motioned Wu Shanxi to go back without him.
"Yes!" Both executives bowed toward the two Supreme Guardians and left the conference room.
Wu Shitian immediately glared at his two friends the moment all executives left the meeting room.
"What's the meaning of this!? How could you two easily hand over the Hero League a snotty brat like him!"
"Calm down, Shitian. We are not handing over the Hero League to him, we just let him lead the Hero League! It's not like we don't have the power to strip him out of his position if he tried to abuse his authority later, "
Kim Jung-Mun replied composedly at the hot-tempered Wu Shitian.
"Moreover, didn't you listen to him? His reason why he wanted the reform?"
"Don't tell me you believe his nonsense, Jung-Mun!?"
"Rather than playing guessing games, why don't we ask the person directly?" Bai Xian Ming chimed in as he stood from his chair.
"It's a good idea!" Kim Jung-Mun also stood up.
"Urgh!?" Wu Shitian did not want to meet Heero, but he was truly curious. Curious of what that young man would say to them. He followed his two friends to the Xing District.
Xing District
Bai Xian Ming stood in front of Miao Miao Noodle & Ramen Shop. He looked back at his two friends, "Let's fill our belly first, shall we?"
Wu Shitian wanted to refuse but Kim Jung-Mun spoke first, "Mnn, I want to have a bowl of ramen, "
Without waiting for Wu Shitian's opinion, both entered the shop. Bai Xian Ming and Kim Jung-Mun were regular customers. Bai Xian Ming immediately headed toward the bar while Kim Jung-Mun went to the ramen bar.
Two buildings were connected by a glass door and the next shop was the ramen shop. A ramen shop opened by Musashi Hirata's mother, Lady Yuka.
Wu Shitian was confused at first. He never visited this shop before. In the end, he followed Kim Jung-Mun to the ramen shop.
"Welcome, Grandpa Ming~, " Han Ying who just delivered a bowl of noodles to a customer spotted Bai Xian Ming. She greeted him with a gentle smile.
"As usual?" Han Ying smiled.
Bai Xian Ming grinned and nodded, "As usual! I will be eating in the next shop, please send my noodles there, "
Han Ying made an okay gesture.
"Where's your husband?" Just as Old Ming was about to turn around, he remembered he came here to meet with Heero hence he asked.
"Oh, he left with Zhou Yi to the first dungeon for specialized training. He said he will be late!"
'Specialized training? Ah, he wants to raise the heroes standard hence he starts it with his disciple first, '
Bai Xian Ming nodded and headed toward the ramen shop. He joined with Kim Jung-Mun and said, "He's away to the first dungeon with Sun Zhou Yi…"
*** ***
First Dungeon
Sun Zhou Yi followed his Master closely. He was not as cheerful as usual because of what happened yesterday. He wanted to ask what actually happened, but he did not dare to raise the topic.
He could feel an overwhelming hatred back then. It was to the point that he felt he would be killed. But he knew that hatred was not directed toward him but a name he mentioned, God Horas.
It was the first time he witnessed his Master lose control of his emotion. But...
'Does God exist in the first place?' Thought Sun Zhou Yi.
Rather than curious about his training, Sun Zhou Yi was more concerned about his Master. He wanted to help but he did not know what to do.
"It's unusual you look not that interested in your new training, " Heero broke the silence between.
"Urgh!?" Sun Zhou Yi did not know how to respond to this. He could not just answer it with, "I am more concerned about you, Master!"
"You must want to know what happened to me yesterday, right?" Heero turned around and faced his disciple.
Sun Zhou Yi subconsciously nodded but then he shook his head again.
They had arrived at the edge of the first dungeon.
"I will tell you what happened between me and God Horas! But you must be thinking 'Does God really exist?', right?"
Sun Zhou Yi's eyes went wide when his Master managed to read his thoughts.
"So, in order to make my story be more believable, I will introduce you to someone. A new Master that will teach you a new technique and inherit his power!"
Plop!
Sun Zhou Yi suddenly fell on his butt as he pointed his finger to Heero's back. His eyes shook and his hand was trembling fiercely.
A Dragon, he saw a Black Dragon come out of the void. The Black Dragon's red blood pupils fell onto him. His body froze the moment he met with the pupils.
Looking at his disciple's reaction, he knew Niadin must have shown himself to Sun Zhou Yi. He turned around and met with the Void Dragon, Niadin.
"Hoho, he's the candidate I talked about back then, so stop intimidating him with your petty trick each time you meet a human, " Heero rolled his eyes at the Void Dragon.
However, Niadin ignored Heero's words as he looked toward Sun Zhou Yi. After a moment of silence, the Void Dragon opened his mouth.
"So, this is the candidate you choose to inherit my bloodline?"
