Heero went to Xing Hotpot with Han Ying while the other three girls went to the noodle shop.
The three girls had no interest in joining him to talk to three old men.
Han Ying grabbed her husband's arm and went to the reserved room. The two of them had a little chat on the way, mostly about Miao Miao.
When they reached the room, Heero opened the door without knocking.
Inside the private room, three old men were enjoying the hotpot like a starving animal.
"Uh, ou hve com? Cum, it ith us tgeyher! (Oh, you have come? Come, eat with us!)"
Bai Xian Ming spoke with his mouth still full of meat.
Heero rolled his eyes, while Han Ying found the old man quite charming.
"Swallow your food first and then talk! What are you? A child?" Heero pulled Han Ying to the empty seat.
Hearing what Heero said, Wu Shitian and Kim Jung-Mun swallowed the meat that filled their mouths.
Bai Xian Ming also swallowed the food and said, "Come eat with us, Heero!"
"Mnn..." Heero nodded his head and picked up the chopstick. As soon as he held the chopstick, the floating meat in the pot disappeared.
"This is my meat!" Wu Shitian raised his voice as his meat was robbed by Heero.
"Who says this is your meat? It does not have your name on it, so the meat is ownerless!" Heero shamelessly refuted the old man as he chewed on the meat he had just taken.
"What? Are you picking a fight with this old man?" Wu Shitian raised his voice even higher.
"What are you doing, you can't do that to the elder!" Han Ying rebuked her husband as she ordered more plates of meat through the tablet.
"All right, as the big person here, I will be magnanimous and not fight him" he nodded and popped a piece of meat into his mouth.
"All right, stop it, Shitian! It's just meat, you can order it again!" Kim Jung-Mun immediately stopped his old friend who was about to flare up.
"You too, can you even give in to old men like us?" Bai Xian Ming rolled his eyes at Heero.
"I'm full, let's go!" Heero pretended to leave by pulling his wife. But Han Ying did not move from her seat.
"All right, stop joking around! Let me introduce you..." Bai Xian Ming started to introduce his friend to Heero, but Heero cut him off.
"I know! The childish old man is the Supreme Star, Wu Shitian, and the gentle old man is the Supreme Moon, Kim Jung-Mun!"
Heero stood up and greeted the two elders with a slight bow.
"Hello, Elders! I am Xing Heero, nice to meet you" he suddenly turned polite and greeted the two old men properly.
Han Ying also followed Heero and bowed to the two elders.
'It's impossible that I don't know the faces of my big customers,' Heero thought to himself.
As for Bai Xian Ming, he was used to it. In fact, he already knew that Heero would play around with Wu Shitian, as the two of them were quite childish for their age.
"All right, stop playing around and be serious. We want to meet you because there are many things we want to know. First, the mutation, can you really cure the mutation?"
Kim Jung-Mun started with a serious topic. The mutation, was a very important topic, not only for Star City, but for humanity.
"The children! I can cure the children of their mutation, but not the adult. Curing the adult's mutation is pretty much the same as killing them!"
Heero answered everything he knew about the mutation. Yes, if the gray energy had mixed with the body, it could not be purified, because the gray energy would be part of the mutant's body. Purifying the gray energy was the same as killing them.
"Then can you share it with us? The cure?" Kim Jung-Mun asked immediately because it was really important to them.
"It has to do with my secret technique! If all the great families and great powers are willing to share and reveal their secret techniques, then I don't mind sharing what's mine! If not, I can't share it with you unless you become my disciple!"
Heero answered directly. He meant what he said.
Kim Jung-Mun's words remained in his mouth. It was quite easy, he could share his family's technique, but what about the others? It was almost impossible.
The childish Wu Shitian also became serious. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"This is impossible! I will form a team to gather all the mutant children! I want you to cure them" Bai Xian Ming replied.
"I love helping people! Especially when they are innocent children. If the children have no parents or a place to live, the Xing Orphanage is willing to take them in! You can also bring their parents to me, I can accommodate them as well! We can't let the children live without their parents!"
Heero gave his answer willingly. Even if Bai Xian Ming did not mention it, he would. He wanted society to accept the mutant again. Of course, a mutant with violent tendencies would not be accepted or given special care first.
Han Ying smiled softly next to Heero. While her husband was talking to the three old men, she was preparing the hotpot.
Listening to the conversation, she could not help but feel proud of her husband. Despite all his accomplishments and his current social status, he had not changed. He was still the same Heero.
Even if there was a change, it was a positive one. With his current status, he could help more people now.
"I'm relieved if you kept your promise!" Bai Xian Ming nodded.
Kim Jung-Mun also could not help but secretly praise Heero.
"Then what about the allies you talked to me about a few days ago? You said you would bring more allies to face the specters!" Bai Xian Ming brought up another topic.
Heero did not answer, but he looked at Kim Jung-Mun and Wu Shitian. It was an indication that he still did not trust the two old men.
"Don't worry, they are trustworthy. Even though this one can be quite childish and greedy sometimes, he's good!" Bai Xian Ming pointed at Wu Shitian in a rather joking manner.
"Nah, a little over two weeks ago, I had to kill two old men because of their greed. I don't want that to happen again!" Heero said straightforwardly and solemnly. He was not joking when the conversation turned serious.
His words were mixed with a threat and a warning to the two old men. Especially to Wu Shitian.
Wu Shitian and Kim Jung-Mun furrowed their brows at Heero's words. It was unpleasant to be threatened like that.
However, Kim Jung-Mun understood Heero's character after a short exchange. His actions were understandable.
But Heero said that he had to kill two old men because of their greed. Kim Jung-Mun was curious about who these two old men were. He glanced at Old Ming, and then Old Ming told them about the tragedy that happened to Ryong Chong-Shik and Hanzo Keiji.
The story did not surprise Han Ying. She had heard it from Heero. He told her that two old men wanted to kidnap her daughter, but he acted first and killed the kidnapper.
What she did not know was that the two old men had a high status in the Core Region.
"They deserved it!" Wu Shitian applauded when he heard that two Legendary Class Rankers were killed. It seemed like the old man really hated the rankers.
Actually, Wu Shitian did not hate rankers so much. He hated a traitor from his family, Mao Chingseng. Legendary Class Ranker - Rank 12, Mao Chingseng, the famous traitor who hid behind the Ranker Alliance.
"If you vouch for them, I will trust them for once! The allies I mentioned are already here. They are now in the backyard of my academy. I will arrange a time for you to meet them!"
"Ah, so the allies you were talking about are the people from the dungeon?" Old Ming was surprised, as he had not heard anything about this from the expedition team.
"Mnn, I will arrange the time for you to meet them. Whether you can convince them to work with you is another matter!"
"Leave it to me!" Old Ming patted his chest reassuringly.
"Then what about your plan to clean up the 'house'? They want to know your plan!" Bai Xian Ming continued with another matter.
Cleaning the house was to clean the rotten part of the Hero League. Bai Xian Ming wanted to clean the rotten part by using Heero as the spearhead.
His two old friends were interested and wanted to hear it directly from Heero.
"There is no specific plan. Well, I have your permission and I will do it in a big way, I will spare no one! No matter if they are a Wood Class Hero or an Emperor Class Hero, if they are just a clerk or even an executive!"
"They must be punished for their crimes, whether they are from a great family or heroes with no background! I will show no mercy even if they are from the Wu, Kim, or even the Bai!"
