Two o'clock in the afternoon, Heero walked slowly through the city gate. As he passed through the gate, the two guards at the door nodded to Heero with broad smiles, and Heero returned the nod with a smile.
The two guards were familiar to Heero and they knew that he was the owner of Xing District. So they showed him respect.
Heero also knew the two guards, their wives worked in his district and the two guards often stopped by his shop. They were regular customers of the Miao Miao Noodle Shop.
With a flick of his hand, he threw something at one of the guards. A small white package flew towards the guard and the guard, named Jiu Lin, caught the white package. It was a packet of cigarettes, the expensive kind.
Jiu Lin and his friend's faces lit up at the sight of the cigarette pack. With their wages for guarding the gate, they couldn't afford this brand. However, since Heero was often out of town, he would give them packs of cigarettes.
"Thanks, boss~" Even though neither of them worked for Heero, they still called him boss.
Heero waved in return as he made his way back to the district. Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata had grasped the secret behind the Nimble Step, but they still needed time before they could fully master it.
A surprise came from Butcher Wang, he had almost mastered the Nimble Step in two days. He had grasped seventy percent of the essence of the Nimble Step. The lazy Butcher Wang showed great improvement when he used the Nimble Step in his random movement.
However, there was one thing that bothered him. It was Sun Zhou Yi's relationship with Bai Shuang'er. He knew that the two sisters had a hidden motive for approaching him and his disciple.
He understood that was why he had bluntly rejected the big sister. But the little sister had managed to seduce his naive disciple.
Does this guy have Xiao Xi's approval?
Curious, Heero stopped by Xiao Xi's flower shop. 'She's doing well...' The smell reminded him of a place, his Master's dwelling at the top of Nebraska Mountain.
His Seven Mothers were good at this, and in fact, it was he who had taught Xiao Xi about it. Heero shook his head and looked into the flower shop. There were a few women looking at the flowers, but then he spotted two beautiful girls.
Xiao Xi and Bai Shuang'er were talking about Sun Zhou Yi's foolish action. No, to be precise, Xiao Xi was telling Bai Shuang'er about her husband's past and they were chatting happily as they both laughed.
A smile formed on Heero's face as he shook his head. He muttered as he walked back to the shop, "I'm worrying for nothing~"
*** ***
When night came, Heero was standing outside the security house, accompanied by Sun Zhou Yi. Sun Zhou Yi had told the Bai family of their discoveries about the ghost working for the Feng family.
The Bai family reacted quickly, wanting to see the evidence immediately. Tonight, the Bai family's representative would come to collect the evidence.
The duo did not wait long before a car approached the district. The car stopped at the entrance and two girls got out, Bai Shuang'er and Bai Xin Yue, who were going to collect the evidence.
Bai Shuang'er immediately rushed over to Sun Zhou Yi and clasped her hand tightly. Her action shocked the elder sister, Heero caught the surprised look on her face before her expression returned to her usual cold one.
Bai Xian Yue approached them and spoke as she gave her sister a questioning look, "So this is your boyfriend you have been talking to lately?" Her voice was the same as her expression, cold.
Sun Zhou Yi showed an embarrassed smile and was a bit nervous in front of his future sister-in-law. His relationship with Xiao Xi had skipped this stage, as they were orphans from the same orphanage.
"Sister, you can't treat my friend coldly like the other men! He is my boyfriend, my future husband, and also your future brother-in-law!" Bai Shuang'er pouted, but her eyes shone with happiness.
A frown appeared on Bai Xin Yue's smooth forehead, but she did not contradict or rebuke his sister. She nodded her head and turned to Heero, "Hello, Mr Xing!"
When it came to Heero, her voice softened a little and Heero returned with a nod, "Hello, Miss Bai!"
The frown on her smooth forehead deepened as she said, "Xin Yue! You can call me Xin Yue!"
Heero was stunned for a moment and thought, 'Both sisters are quite aggressive!
"Hello, Miss Xin Yue~ It's already midnight, so let's get down to business! Follow me!"
Heero entered the security house and met the night guard. They recognized Sun Zhou Yi and Bai Xin Yue but did not dare to approach their idols in front of them.
They made their way to the secret entrance, which was in another room. The Bai sisters scanned the room and found nothing out of the ordinary. They wondered what the dungeon of the famous Xing District looked like.
Through the secret door, there was an entrance that led to the underground. Heero took the lead, followed by Bai Xin Yue and the couple. When the Bai sisters reached the dungeon, they were surprised.
Even though it was called a dungeon, the place was clean. Moreover, this place was more like an underground room than a dungeon. The light was clear and bright, and Bai Xin Yue counted twenty doors in total.
"Wow, this is the famous dungeon? It doesn't look like a dungeon at all!" Bai Shuang'er exclaimed as the dungeon was different from the one she had imagined.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Sun Zhou Yi asked his girlfriend.
"I thought the dungeon would be dirty, the lights are dim and there's a bad smell coming from the room. This place is bloody clean! After all, this is the place where you tortured the troublemakers, right?"
Sun Zhou Yi rolled his eyes at his girlfriend, "We've never tortured anyone here, although there's a bit of violence sometimes! We are not criminal gangsters!"
"Then what about the guys who have lost their memories in this place? Didn't you torture them until they were traumatized and lost their memories?" Bai Shuang'er believed Sun Zhou Yi's words, but she was curious about what they had done to the troublemakers to make them lose their memories.
Sun Zhou Yi was stunned by his girlfriend's question. Without Heero's consent, he did not dare to tell her, even if it was his girlfriend. He shook his head and Bai Shuang'er was wise enough not to continue with her question.
Heero led the two sisters into the next room on the left. This was where he stored the corpses of the specters. When the door opened, a pungent smell assaulted their noses. Bai Xin Yue and Bai Shuang'er immediately pinched their noses.
"This is..." The duo was a bit shocked at the sight of fifty pieces of desiccated bodies. Especially for Bai Shuang'er, who had never encountered a specter before. She was terrified and hid behind Sun Zhou Yi, peeking out from time to time.
"They're human, right?" Bai Xin Yue's doubtful voice resounded. These bodies had dried up, leaving only skin and bones. Moreover, the skin and bones had turned black. But no matter how much the bodies had changed, she could tell that these corpses belonged to humans.
"Yes, they were. They are humans that turned into specter!" Heero nodded and explained to Bai Xin Yue.
"A human being can turn into a specter? Is it possible?" Bai Xin Yue came closer to the corpses and took a good look at them.
"There is a type of specter that can produce a dark seed. This dark seed is used to turn a living creature into a specter by swallowing the dark seed, which would turn into a dark core once it entered the body!"
"Once the dark seed turns into the dark core, it will swallow the muscles and organs inside the body and turn them into black gas. This black gas is the source of the specter's power, and once the dark core is destroyed, the specter will die and the black gas inside the body will vaporize. The proof is right in front of you!"
Heero explained in detail, but he changed the term Dark Ki into black gas. It would have taken longer to explain if he had said that the black gas was Dark Ki.
"Hmm, so the Feng family sent those specters after you?" Bai Xin Yue nodded understandingly and asked Heero, "But why do they want to take your life? Have you offended them in any way?"
"They suspect me of locking their family members in the dungeon, who is it again, Feng Fe..." Heero had already asked Guo Shan why the Feng family had lent their power to Guo Shan, but he had forgotten the name.
"Feng Fennu and Feng Bian!" It was Sun Zhou Yi who finished the words. Bai Xin Yue and Bai Shuang'er were a little surprised when Sun Zhou Yi mentioned Feng Fennu and Feng Bian.
"Have you locked them in the dungeon?" Bai Xin Yue raised her voice and looked at Heero. Bai Shuang'er also turned to Heero.
Feng Bian could be considered to have made a name for himself in the hero's circle, but Feng Fennu was a famous figure. Of course, he was famous not only for his lecherous deeds but also because he was a figure closer to the Legendary Class Ranker.
"No, I killed them! Do you remember the famous incident on the forum, the descent of Lightning Dragon? That was the day they died!" Heero bluntly told the truth. As Hirata had suggested, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Bai Xin Yue and Bai Shuang'er were shocked, but Sun Zhou Yi was quite calm as he already knew the truth. The Duo Sisters were not shocked that Heero had killed Feng Fennu, but that Dragon Lightning was his doing.
Upon hearing this, a strong determination surged in Bai Xin Yue's heart, "I have to get this man. I must make him my husband!
It took a while for Bai Xin Yue to get over the shock, but Bai Shuang'er felt happy after the momentary shock. Bai Shuang'er moved closer to Sun Zhou and whispered, "Can you do it?"
With a bitter smile on his face, Sun Zhou Yi replied, "I am still far behind my master!"
"Don't get discouraged and train harder. I know you can do it!" Bai Shuang'er encouraged her boyfriend with a bright smile on her face.
After some time, Bai Xin Yue continued with a frown, not questioning Heero's behavior in killing Feng Fennu and Feng Bian, "But this evidence is not enough to bring down the Feng family!"
"We have a living witness!" Heero added.
"Then it might work, I can convince my grandfather to rally the other families against the Feng Family!" Bai Xin Yue replied.
"Hmm... You can take your time. Even though they can turn humans into specters, there's a condition. You have to willingly swallow the dark seed, otherwise it might not..."
Heero could not finish and his eyes widened as he realised something. He had made a huge mistake and overlooked something important. He was on Earth, not on Dramonia!
