"What is the meaning of this, Hero Bai Xin Yue!" Hanzo Sojuro of the Hanzo Clan slammed the table hard as he questioned Bai Xin Yue.
However, no matter how hard the old man slammed the table, it did not have the slightest deterrent effect on Bai Xin Yue.
What he got was a scary look from Bai Xin Yue. Under Bai Xin Yue's cold gaze, Hanzo Sojuro flinched. He immediately turned away.
"Parasite is a parasite, why bother to bark!" The voice was small, but everyone heard it clearly.
This time, it was Kang Myung-Chul's turn to be alarmed. The one who had just spoken was his granddaughter, Kang Seo-Yeon. This was not the Kang Seo-Yeon he knew, what was wrong with her?
At that moment, all the people in the meeting room realized that something was wrong with the two women. They did not know the cause, but the two women were really angry somehow.
Grand Master Instructor Yang Kong, who never spoke during the meeting, opened his mouth, "What is this? Are you two fighting? Know your place, this is not a place for two little girls like you to enter!"
Yang Kong of the Yang family. He was an old man in his late fifties. He had a long beard and hair that had turned white, his eyes were small, and he had a large scar on his forehead.
"Huh? Is there a rule that says heroes cannot enter the meeting room? Why didn't I know that?" Kang Seo-Yeon retorted.
Actually, there was no rule that said a hero could not enter the meeting room. But it was an unwritten rule that everyone should know, especially someone like Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon.
Yang Kong could not accept that he was being opposed in front of the other Grand Master instructors and executives. Especially since he was only a gold class hero.
Park Yong-Gi sensed that the situation was getting worse and immediately intervened, "Please refrain from fighting with each other! We are still in a meeting and I hope you can resolve your personal matter outside the meeting, not here!"
Yang Kong glared at Park Yong-Gi. However, Park Yong-Gi was different from Krishna Davale and Hanzo Sojuro. He was not afraid of a mere glance, he knew that these heroes could not even touch his hair, at least not openly like this.
"Tch!" Yang Kong realized that the intimidation did not work on Park Yong-Gi. He clucked his tongue and leaned back in his chair.
Park Yong-Gi ignored Yang Kong. He turned to Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue.
"We summoned Chief Heero, where is he?"
Instead of answering the question, Bai Xin Yue scanned the people at the table, including her grandfather.
"Before we get to the topic, let me ask you a question. Do you know, right? Heero, my husband fought a whole army of specters that attacked the Regal Kingdom yesterday? Yes or no?"
The question instantly silenced the room. They looked at each other at the question. Of course, everyone knew that Heero had fought the whole army and defeated them all. That was the reason for the meeting in the first place.
They were trying to get Heero's secret technique, using the specters as an excuse. Executives had prepared thousands of words to convince Heero. They no longer tried to get on Heero's oppositeĀ side, but their greed defeated their conscience.
As the forces at the top, they never put consideration into their plan. The benefit was what was on their minds. Even after Bai Xin Yue's question, except for a few people, none of them understood the meaning behind the question.
Bai Xian Ming, Kang Myung-Chul, and Park Yong-Gi understood the meaning behind the question.
Is that why she's angry? No, she will not be angry about such a trivial thing! Bai Xin Ming was conflicted inside. He wanted to know what made his granddaughter so angry. But he knew that this was not the right time.
The room fell into silence, none of the executives answered such an obvious question.
"Then I will take it as a yes!" Bai Xin Yue nodded coldly and turned to Park Yong-Gi, "The chief is still on his break, as the deputy chief of the SES, we represent the SES for the summoning!
Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon were the deputy chief of SES. They were the ones who took care of the paperwork.
Upon hearing this, the executives looked at each other. They did not know how to react. What they needed was Heero, they had to convince him, not their wives.
Park Yong-Gi lowered his head. He wanted to leave the rest to the other executives. He was quite cunning, the moment he knew the real problem, he immediately withdrew as if the meeting had nothing to do with him.
He took a sip of the cold coffee and looked at the paper on his table. Park Yong Gi did not want to upset the two women any more.
When Moushe Eghian noticed that Park Yong-Gi was sitting down again, he frowned. As time passed, Park Yong-Gi remained silent. Finally, Moushe Eghian opened his mouth and explained the purpose of the SES chief's summons.
"We have two purposes, SES expansion and..."
Moushe Eghian explained the takeover, but he was quite clever, or so he thought. He masked the words of the takeover beautifully. It was as if the takeover was the best option for humanity, the Hero League, and the world.
"Just this? The summoning is just for this issue? Did you sign your names to summon the Chief just for this? Can you all wait until tomorrow?"
Bang!
She lost control and slammed the table.
Swoosh!
An icy gush spread out and hit everyone around the table. Most of the executives trembled as the cold gush hit their bodies.
Even Bai Xian Ming almost jumped out of his chair. He had never expected his granddaughter to curse like that.
Kang Seo-Yeon stroked Bai Xin Yue's back to calm her down. Bai Xin Yue calmed her heavy breathing and her angry expression returned to a cold one.
"According to the convention, the Hero League has no right to interfere in the affairs of the SES? What does that mean?" Bai Xin Yue looked directly at Moushe Eghian and questioned him directly with her cold voice.
"B-b-but th-this..." Moushe Eghian stuttered as he was still shocked by what had just happened. The sudden outburst took him by surprise.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Xin Yue raised her hand to stop Moushe Eghian.
"You want to take over SES, right? Then take it! I, Kang Seo-Yeon, and The Chief will resign from SES! According to the convention, we will resign from the team as soon as the Hero League interferes in our affairs! Now the Hero League can take over SES!"
With that, Bai Xin Yue pulled Kang Seo-Yeon out of the meeting room with her. The two women stormed out.
"Wait! Wait, Xin Yue!" Bai Xian Ming shouted, but his granddaughter ignored him.
The old man sat back in frustration and glared at everyone around him. His eyes were especially sharp, indicating that he was also angry.
"Good! Now you have what you want! SES will be under the control of the Hero League! Krishna Davale and Moushe Eghian, you two will be in charge of SES! Alright, the meeting is over!"
After that, it was Bai Xian Ming's turn to storm out of the meeting room.
"What?! Wait!!" Krishna Davale shouted, but there was no way that Bai Xian Ming would listen to the call.
After that, Wu Shanxi, Musashi Kaminaga, Kim Sunghyon, and Kang Myung-Chul also left the meeting room. It was as if the meeting had nothing to do with them.
The other five Grand Master instructors also left after that, leaving seven people behind.
Hanzo Sojuro of the Hanzo Clan, Yuan Hou Cheng of the Yuan Family, Park Yong-Gi of the Park Family, Yang Wuren of the Yang Family, Moushe Eghian of the Star Consortium, Krishna Davale of the Orient Consortium.
These forces were the masterminds behind today's meeting. For some unknown reason, everything went south. The plan had not even begun, but they had "succeeded".
They got what they wanted, SES was now under the full authority of the Hero League. They could do whatever they wanted with SES.
But SES without Heero was the same as an empty team. Everything about SES revolved around Heero, now the main pillar was gone. SES was now just an empty but beautiful shell.
"Something has to happen to Heero? If not, why were his two wives so upset about the summons? Did something happen to Heero during his fight against the specters?" Moushe Eghian broke the silence among them.
Everyone left with an "Ah!? Immediately after that, the seven executives left the room. They had to investigate what had really happened to Heero.
