Heero's eyes turned purple before he scanned the people in the building.
Heero took a deep breath and let it out frustrated. He rubbed his clean forehead.
When Heero stopped abruptly, everyone else stopped as well. They looked at Heero.
"What's wrong, master?" Benjamin asked worriedly when he saw that his master looked unhappy.
'What's wrong?' He was confused and scanned his surroundings. The noble guests were socializing under their luxurious dresses. As far as he was concerned, everything was normal.
'Does Master not like to mingle with the nobles?'
During his stay in Star City, everyone knew that Heero did not like to socialize with people from the core region. Which were basically the same people as those nobles.
'No, he could refuse to come today and come to the public wedding tomorrow! But why?'
The children did not share the same concern as the adults. Looking at the banquet, the children tried to find the food.
"No! You can't go anywhere, stay here" Heero caught Miao Miao and the other girls stopped as well. The four looked at Heero, looking for an explanation.
"There are so many bad guys here, you have to stay close to daddy, okay?" He told Miao Miao and the other three children.
Lan Lan, who had a near-death experience, immediately moved closer to Heero. Close enough to hold Heero's feet.
It was certainly rude to call the nobles bad people. Benjamin felt uncomfortable inside, but knowing his Master, he knew there must be a reason why Master called the nobles bad people.
"What's wrong, dear?" Han Yin asked worriedly.
Heero shook his head and looked at Benjamin, "Do you have a private room? A room with no one or even surveillance?"
Looking into his master's serious eyes, Benjamin nodded his head.
"Follow me, Master," Benjamin did not lead Heero into the main hall. He made a sudden turn to the left before entering the main hall. After five minutes of walking, they entered an empty room. A room with only a sofa in it.
"Specters! Half of the guests in the main hall are specters!" As soon as they entered the room, Heero told them what he had seen earlier.
"What!?" Benjamin could not believe what he was hearing from Heero.
The same was true for Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon. They were just as surprised as Benjamin.
After all, all the guests were nobles with a high position in the kingdom. If half of them were specters, then the Regal Kingdom was facing the biggest crisis in its history.
"Morphers, they are Morphers! They could morph their bodies into anything, whether it's a human or even a beast! They are not human at all, so the nobles they impersonate could have died or been captured or even turned into a specter!"
This was the reason why Heero wanted to talk in a room without surveillance. He did not want the others to know, and it would be much better if the specters did not know that they had been discovered. Solving the problem quietly was the best choice.
Finally, everyone realized why Heero had suddenly become unhappy. The specters were the cause.
"Tell your brother to postpone the ceremony as long as possible! Investigate the family of the noble who was impersonated by the specters! I will check the area around the building as well as the knights!"
This was the second time his honeymoon had been interrupted by the specters.
Then Heero turned to Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon, "I will leave their protection to you!"
The two women nodded.
After that, Heero and Benjamin left the room. They parted ways as soon as they left the room.
Benjamin rushed to his brother's place and ran into the building. He panicked when he heard that the kingdom had been infiltrated by the specters.
Soon, he arrived at his brother's room to find two knights guarding the door. The two knights tried to block Benjamin, but they flinched when the second prince shouted at them.
"F*ck off!"
Bam!
He hastily opened the door and was shocked to see the scene in the room. A black-cloaked figure was strangling his brother.
"Let him go!" Benjamin yelled at the black-cloaked figure.
Swift Step!
His movement speed increased exponentially, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived next to the black-cloaked figure. He sent a spinning kick to its stomach.
Bam!
The black-cloaked figure was sent flying and his grip on the Crown Prince was loosened.
Benjamin caught his falling brother and examined his unconscious brother. A sword pierced his chest and his breathing was faint. The white suits for tonight's wedding were drenched in blood.
Seeing his big brother's condition, he thought of taking him to his master. With his attention on his brother, Benjamin did not notice two black cloaked figures coming up behind him.
They were holding the same sword that was piercing Gerard's chest. Benjamin realized that he was in grave danger. If he were alone, he could save himself. However, the situation did not allow him to do so. If he suddenly made an extreme move, his brother's condition might worsen.
"Oh my, you are too reckless, Benjamin!"
The sword that was about to pierce Benjamin stopped in midair. A familiar voice rang through the room.
Bwoosh!
The two black-cloaked figures immediately burst into flames. The flame engulfed both of them. In a flash, the two black-cloaked figures were reduced to ashes.
One black-cloaked figure remained in the room. Realizing that the situation was not to his advantage, the last black-cloaked figure tried to leave the room by jumping out of the window.
"Hey, where are you going?" Heero appeared behind him and pulled the black-cloaked figure. He grabbed its neck and lifted it up before slamming the man to the ground.
Bam!
Bwoosh!
A crimson flame burst from Heero's palm and burned the black-cloaked figure, leaving nothing behind.
After that, Heero approached his student who was hugging his brother. Benjamin was on the verge of crying as Gerard's breathing grew weaker.
"Master! Please! Please help my brother! Please help him!" Benjamin's eyes turned red as tears filled his eyes.
Heero took Gerard from Benjamin. He put his hand around the wound. He used his Ki to stop the bleeding. Then he slowly pulled out the blade and laid Gerard on the ground.
Then, distorting the space next to him, he took out a bamboo container from his stash. A good pill rolled out of the container. He tossed it to Benjamin, who was waiting anxiously next to his big brother.
"Here you are! Feed this to your brother and he will be fine!"
Benjamin caught the golden pill and fed it to his brother. The golden pill melted as soon as it entered his brother's mouth.
The golden pill had an immediate effect. Immediately after that, he noticed that his brother's breathing stabilized. Only then did Benjamin feel relieved.
At that time, the knights outside noticed the commotion in the room. They rushed in and were shocked to see the unconscious Crown Prince.
Before they could speak, another group entered the room. Alexa rushed in with Hong Yu and others.
"Gerard!" The girl cried out in panic. She tore off her wedding dress and ran to Gerard.
"He's fine, Master healed brother's injuries!" Benjamin told his sister-in-law.
Then Benjamin approached his master, "Master, what's wrong? Didn't you go to check..."
Before Benjamin could finish his words, Heero pointed out the window.
"It's too late! The specters have started their raid on the kingdom!"
