It was kind of funny when the officers heard about the district law. It was supposed to be the job of a government to set the law. But one of the many things that made Xing District famous was its special rule.
Troublemakers were thrown into a dungeon for a week. No matter who they were, if they were judged to be troublemakers, they would be put in a secret dungeon.
Even the Emperor Class Hero Huo Liang Xun was no exception. Although these troublemakers were not tortured, the loss of a week's worth of memories caused mental trauma.
Since the three officers could not show what Hirata demanded, the masses believed his words. They considered the three to be false officers. Many in the crowd shook their heads.
"Really? They dare to impersonate an officer!"
"Haha, these people are so stupid to think that they can cheat the boss' Luminous Hyacinth!"
"Arrest them, Sir Hirata. Take this low-life to the dungeon!"
Not a few of the crowd jeered at the three officers.
Hearing the commotion as the crowd dispersed, the calm middle-aged man panicked. He had certainly heard the rumour about this district, and he did not want to be caught by these people. As for the two young officers, they had not expected this.
They wanted to say that it was the Feng family who asked them to do this job, but they did not dare. Tarnishing the Feng family's name would not only end their careers, it might even cost them their lives.
The experienced middle-aged man tried to think of the best outcome of his mistake. He did not want to be caught. The only choice was to admit his mistake, at worst he would only be demoted as he had the Feng family on his back.
"Wait! Wait! I am a real..." The middle-aged man could not finish his words before his vision darkened and his body fell. Musashi Hirata did not give him a chance to speak as he took down the three officers.
Afterwards, Hirata turned to Heero and asked, "Master, what should we do with these people?"

The Feng Family Residence
In a room, three people were sitting at a table. These three people were the upper echelon of the Feng family. Feng Ban Xou, an executive of the Hero League. He was a middle-aged man in his mid-forties, with small, sharp eyes.
As for the other two figures, one was the current head of the Feng family. Feng Tian Xou, who was also an Emperor Class Hero - rank 15. Although he looked younger than Feng Ban Xou, he was Feng Ban Xou's big brother.
Unlike his younger brother, the big brother looked gallant and cautious. However, his usual demeanour disappeared when he found the clue to the culprit who killed his son and youngest brother. He now looked very frightening.
As for the last figure, he was a man from the previous Emperor Class Hero era. Feng Xinlun, a former Emperor Class Hero - Rank 3. He was the man who managed to raise his family's status from an unknown family to one of the twelve most influential families in Star City.
Although he was retired, he still possessed extraordinary strength. The current head of the Feng family did not even have much in common with this white-haired old man. Despite his white hair, the old man had fewer wrinkles, even though he was just about to enter his eighties.
"Tian Xou, control your emotions! As the head of the family, you should never show your emotions!" The old man rebuked his son without changing his expression.
"But... But..." Under his father's calm gaze, Feng Tian Xou lowered his head. He took a deep breath and raised his head again. His frightening expression disappeared, back to a calm one. It was as if he had never been angry before.
Feng Xinlun gave his son a nod of approval and turned to Feng Ban Xou. The fat man was the laziest of his five sons, which meant that he had sent him to the Hero League to be an executive, to represent the authority of the Feng family in the Hero League.
"So, have you investigated the district? Does the disappearance of Fennu and Bian'er have anything to do with the power behind Xing District?" Feng Xinlun asked in a deep tone of voice.
The fat man shook his head and replied, "No, Father! Our men haven't found any clues yet, but we have found a clue about Sun Zhou Yi's master. Feng Ban Xou then unlocked his smartwatch and showed Miao Miao's photo to his father.
"Our men heard directly that this little girl said that her father is Sun Zhou Yi's Master..." Then Feng Ban Xou explained the details of their investigation plan.
"In such a situation, I doubt that the girl is lying, but it can't be ruled out that the girl is bluffing so that the officers won't take her Luminous Hyacinths. However, I am eighty percent certain that her father is indeed Sun Zhou Yi's master!
Feng Ban Xou told his father his analysis. He believed that because of Sun Zhou Yi's appearance. Not only that, Sun Zhou Yi even protected the children from the officer.
Feng Xinlun nodded in understanding, while Feng Tian Xou's expression remained unchanged.
"Who is her father? Have you investigated her father?"
"Yes, the little girl's biological father is Guo Shan. Our newly acquired farmer! He is a gold class hero - rank 17!"
Feng Ban Xou's answer made the old man frown. There was no way a mere Gold Class Hero - Rank 17 could train a monster like Sun Zhou Yi.
"But the little girl has another father! Her mother has remarried, and her stepfather is the owner of the Xing District. He was famous on the forums as the Handsome Brutal Savage. His power level is unknown, but he was able to defeat Silver Class Hero - Rank 1, Hanzo Shusaku with ease!"
"He also helps his wife run the famous Miao Miao noodle shop in Xing District. The recent Luminous Hyacinth fuss was also caused by him. He managed to catch twelve Luminous Hyacinths in four days!
Feng Ban Xou finished the report in one breath. He told them everything he knew about a person called Xing Heero.
"Hoho... Interesting... This Xing Heero might really be Sun Zhou Yi's master, but we can't confirm it for now..." The old man let out a small laugh as he got the tea and took a sip. The old man seemed to be thinking of a way to confirm this.
"Father, I have an idea. How about using this Guo Shan. Last time he fell for our bait, but he came back black and blue. I think it was Sun Zhou Yi or even his master who beat him. Now he wants to take revenge and ask for our support, we can send Guo Shan to confirm our suspicion!
Fang Ban Xou suggested as his sharp eyes gleamed.
"Hoho... That's a good idea! Let's use the guy called Guo Shan to confirm whether this Xing Heero is Sun Zhou Yi's master or not. You can send the third group of the disposal guards to help Guo Shan take his revenge!
Feng Xinlun immediately agreed to his son's suggestion. The disposal guards in his mouth were the people they secretly trained for a one-time mission. The purpose of training these guards was to do the Feng family's dirty work.
Just like their name, the Feng family would dispose of them after they had served their purpose.
"Haha... Father, you are still sharp, we can use this opportunity to test the upgrade of this disposal guard as well!" Fang Ban Xou praised his father and asked, "After we confirm this guy, what are we going to do?"
"Easy, if this Xing Heero is Sun Zhou Yi's master, then they are most likely the culprit behind my son and grandson's disappearance. If they are the culprit, then we will wipe out everything in the Xing district!"

Meanwhile, back in Xing District
Heero and all his disciples, including Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun, gathered on the rooftop. They were taking a break from their intense training on Heero's orders.
"I call you here to teach you a new technique!" Heero announced his intention to gather them here.
Upon hearing that their master would be teaching a new technique, Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata's eyes lit up with excitement. The same was true for Xu Lingxun and Kang Dong-Woo, except for Butcher Wang who seemed nonchalant.
As someone who was already satisfied with everything he had, Butcher Wang felt nothing.
"It's not a special or unique technique, but a movement technique, Nimble Step!" Heero did not explain why he chose to teach the movement technique. But none of Heero's students questioned him. They trusted their master completely.
"Sun Zhou Yi, you first!" Heero motioned for Sun Zhou Yi to come closer and he obediently followed the order.
"Concentrate your Ki on your head, can you do that?"
Zhou Yi nodded his head and closed his eyes. He focused the Ki in his body to circulate to his head.
Heero watched Sun Zhou Yi with Mystical Eyes, then nodded, "You're doing well, maintain your condition!"
After saying that, he placed his right hand on Zhou Yi's head. For the first five seconds, nothing happened. But the next moment, colourful ki burst out of the hand. The colourful ki wrapped around Zhou Yi's head and continued for five minutes.
"Done!" Heero withdrew his hand and Zhou Yi opened his eyes in amazement. He simply could not believe what had just happened. It was like entering another world, the feeling was so real, but he knew it was not real.
There he saw his own Master performing the Nimble Step. Different kinds of Nimble Steps at that, showing him that Nimble Step was not just an ordinary technique move.
He jumped out and said goodbye to Heero, "Master, I am leaving now!" Sun Zhou Yi was so excited to learn the Nimble Step that he immediately ran for the door, leaving everyone confused.
Heero just smiled at his first student's antics, "All right, Hirata! You next!"
The same scene was repeated again with Musashi Hirata the difference. Hirata copied Sun Zhou Yi's action perfectly, jumped out excitedly and ran to the door.
"Bearded One, it's your turn! Come here! This technique will perfect your random footwork!"
However, unlike before, this time the process was not as smooth as Bearded Wang failed to maintain the circulation of Ki to his head.
Heero slapped Bearded Wang's head, "Aren't you even a little ashamed with your junior brother watching you?"
Only after Heero reprimanded him did he successfully teach the technique. Heero did not have the Miracle Crystal that was used to record a technique like his master's. So he could only teach the technique manually.
"Alright, now it's your turn!" Heero threw a book at Kang Dong-Woo. The boy caught it quickly and immediately looked at the book, on the cover was written "Ki Comprehension".
Dong-Woo had heard about Ki Comprehension from his senior, so he already knew what the book was for without any explanation.
"Finally, Xu Lingxun, we need to talk before I give you Ki Comprehension! Dong-Woo, you can leave now!"
