Three hours after the Level 10 Calamity subjugated by Sun Zhou Yi, the problem should be over. Heero at the very least thought so, but then he heard an absurd matter happened.
Second Floor, Miao Miao Noodles Shop
Butcher Wang, Dong Woo, Han Ying, Hong Yu, Blacksmith Huang, and Heero gathered. They sat in one table, Dong Woo wore an indignation look as the other showed a depressed expression.
"So you say, the outer region was plundered by the rankers!!??" Heero had a baffled look as he asked, making sure he was not hearing wrongly.
None of them responded, but the frustration on their faces became more apparent. It told Heero that he did not mishear and everything was true. During the time Sun Zhou Yi fought against the beast horde alone, the rankers took this chance to plunder the empty house.
"In fact, not only the rankers but I found some heroes also…" Butcher Wang's words trailed off, but there was no need for him to finish his words. Everyone in the table could fill his next words.
Yes, after making sure the beast horde truly subjugated, Butcher Wang, Dong Woo, and Blacksmith Huang helped the elderly back to their homes.
At this time, Butcher Wang encountered a group of people in black plundering the empty house. Even though they covered their faces, Butcher Wang and Blacksmith Huang knew these people were the rankers.
This was not a rare case after all. It happened a lot back then. Each time there was a beast horde or zombie horde attacked the city, the rankers would take this chance to plunder the empty house.
Accidentally, Butcher Wang also encountered a low-rank hero as well. It was a huge shock to find the unranked heroes he knew also followed the rankers to plunder the empty house.
They did not even fight against the beast, it was still okay in Butcher Wang's heart. But it was different when they plundered the empty house.
That was why as the man aspired to be the greatest hero who would surpass his grandfather. Dong Woo was so disappointed and angry deep inside his heart.
"Is this a bandit nest?" Heero blurted out. He could not think that the rankers would plunder the outer region while the chaos reigned over.
Angry? No, Heero did not angry. He was already used to this kind of situation. It just that it somehow annoyed him. He did not expect this would come at all.
"So? What are you going to do? Do you want me to take back those plunderers took from them?"
Hong Yu was the one calling him to join this meeting. But he did not know why they call him for? He thought they wanted him to teach those people and took the people's belongings back.
"No, I want you to use your money to make a nursing home for those elderly who have lost everything."
Hong Yu voiced out her thought which was surprised Heero.
"My money? Dear, you do know that I don't have that much money to build a nursing home, so how I am supposed to build a nursing home? Don't they have a family?"
Heero understood that his girlfriend had a kind heart and he agreed to help those elderly as well, but her idea was not in his capability. Until now, he had been saving his income from his novel for them to get married and used his share to develop the noodle shop. He did not have that much to establish a nursing home.
"No, half of them don't have a family. We save them from the nursing home that not far from here. But those rankers took everything from the nursing home, so the nursing home would be closed…" Butcher Wang replied in a negative tone.
Heero frowned, these elderly surely had their life hard, but he also helpless. He would certainly help if he could.
"But I don't have the money. We have at least need to rent a building and hire the caretakers, I don't have the money for all of this, Dear~" Heero looked at his girlfriend back.
"No, you do have money, a lot of them. You are rich in fact!" Hong Yu stated something unexpected again.
Heero became even more confused. He just did not know where this money came from? How could someone who lived on the rooftop be a rich man?
Hong Yu turned around at Blacksmith Huang who always had his mouth closed. He never spoke since the start. When Hong Yu turned around, he took a gold card with a big blue star as the background and a "Star" word written in the middle of the card.
"Master, this is yours. The sword you made sold for 87,500,000 WD and the money saved in this account!" Blacksmith Huang pushed the golden card to Heero. It was a card for Star Bank, the biggest bank in Star City.
Earlier this morning before the warning resounded, Blacksmith Huang went to the commerce region to retrieve the money from Vermillion Auction House.
"WHAT? Eighty million?" Heero was shocked when he heard the number. He already expected this that his sword would sell more than Blacksmith Huang, but he was still surprised when he heard the actual number.
"I should become a blacksmith and I will be rich in no time…" Heero muttered in a low voice.
He had been saving up his incoming for the last few months. But his saving had not even reached a hundred thousand yet. With a sword, in one night, he got eighty million.
Then everything became clear to him, he understood now why did his girlfriend ask him to open the nursing home. Heero took the golden card and gave it to Hong Yu, "Good, you can use the money for whatever you want to~"
After that, he stood up and intended to go downstairs. Hong Yu held him, "Y-you… W-where are you going? Also, are you really giving me these 80 million?"
Hong Yu just could not believe that someday she would hold this much money.
Heero returned with a big grin and replied, "Of course, you will be my wife and you will take care of our family's finances, so why not we start from now on? I am now going to the workshop, I want to make more swords, I am going to prepare for my dowry,"
Hearing those words, Hong Yu blushed as there were many people here with them. She was still embarrassed being lovey-dovey before many.
Heero left the noodle shop. He really went to Blacksmith Huang's workshop to make more swords.
"Master, wait! Wait for me!" Blacksmith Huang immediately chased after Heero when he heard his Master wanted to make more swords. Watching his Master forged a sword would also help him in blacksmithing.

The night arrived
Heero, Hong Yu, Han Ying, Butcher Wang, Butcher Wang's wife Wang Mi, Lan Lan, Sun Zhou Yi, Xiao Xi, and Blacksmith Huang had a small party on the top of Miao Miao Noodles Shop. Dong Woo and Myung Hee could not join as they had to come back.
With the meat Butcher Wang took from the beast horde, the griller was full of various kinds of beast's meat. They had a barbecue party, celebrating the future promotion for Sun Zhou Yi.
Stopping Level 10 Calamity alone was a huge contribution. It was not a surprise if in the next few days, a new Emperor Class Hero appeared. They had a small party because of this.
However, the main hero was crying at the party. Sun Zhou Yi cried often and kept saying thank you to Heero. The party continued with the cry of the main character. The party lasted until ten, then everyone came back except for Heero, Hong Yu, and Han Ying.
Han Ying left the rooftop without words, leaving the couple more space to be alone.
As soon as the door closed, the reserved Hong Yu turned aggressive. She immediately rose from the bench and sat on Heero's tight. There were no words came out from her mouth as she planted a kiss on Heero's lips.
At first, Heero was surprised, but when Hong Yu's lips touched his, he gladly responded to her desire. This was the longest kiss Heero had ever had with her girlfriend.
They had their bodies glued at each other and he could smell the pleasant fragrance of his girlfriend's body. Without he realized it, they had their tongues intertwined at each other, someone a sound of teeth clashed, indicating both were still a newbie in a french kiss.
However, it did not spoil their passions. Hong Yu had her hands enclasped Heero's neck while Heero held Hong Yu's waist. It was a very long Hong Yu kiss, only after Hong Yu out of breath then she had her lips parted of Heero's.
Heero looked up and saw a mixed expression on her girlfriend's face, passion, fear, nervous, and worries. He could tell that was an expression dominated by fear and worries. He had no idea what had happened and asked in a soft voice.
"Dear~ What's wrong?"
Hong Yu did not give her reply but had her hand touched Heero's fine and smooth cheek with eyes full of love. After a moment, she embraced Heero's head.
Heero could feel that a soft mound touched his cheek, but Heero did not have a desire to enjoy it for now. He was worried about his girlfriend. He was waiting for herself to tell him.
"I am afraid… I am afraid of losing you…" Hong Yu whispered in a low voice.
Heero frowned as he did not understand and thought it might be because of his action this noon. He showed a portion of his true strength, killing the flying beast that equal to an Emperor Class Hero.
As the people who lived in the outer region with an inferiority feeling, she was afraid Heero would leave her. This was Heero's conclusion, but he was wrong.
"I am afraid of losing you because of the beast… I am afraid… The beasts took my parents from me and I don't want to lose you…" Hong Yu hugged Heero tighter as she expressed her concern.
"Hmm, don't…" as just Heero wanted to soothe his girlfriend's pointless worries. Yes, it was pointless worries as Heero would not die from the beasts.
However, Hong Yu gave another kiss, stopping Heero from speaking his words. This time, it was a short kiss and accompanied by a bomb, "Let's do that!"
