The meeting was put on hold. The executives asked Heero to give them time to discuss. Heero, of course, gladly gave them time to discuss.
He and his two wives left the meeting room while the Executives remained in their seats.
Bam!
The door closed with a sound that broke the silence in the room.
"Then I will take my leave!" Kang Myung-Chul stood up from his chair.
However, his words drew the attention of others. They all looked at the Grand Master Instructor. From their faces, they were looking for an explanation from the old man as to why he decided to leave.
"My judgment will be biased! As you know, he's my granddaughter's husband, he's part of my family, so I'm not in a position to discuss the proposal with you. If there's a vote, my choice is to support him!"
Park Yong-Gi nodded to the old man, "Thank you for your consideration, Sir Kang!"
After knowing the reason why Kang Myung-Chul suddenly decided to leave, the executives gladly let the old man go.
As soon as Kang Myung-Chul left the room, everyone's attention turned to the three most senior old men. Bai Xian Ming, Kim Jung-Mun and Wu Shitian.
The executives wanted to know their stance on whether they would support Heero or not.
"If you want to know my stance on this proposal, I agree! He has my support!" Kim Jung-Mun gave an unexpected reply.
Wu Shitian looked at his friend in disbelief. He could not understand his friend's train of thought. Why he trusted Heero so much, he did not understand at all.
"If you are also asking my opinion, then the answer is yes. I also support the proposal!" Bai Xian Ming explained his stance to the others.
Unknowingly, the atmosphere in the meeting became a bit tense. With the support of the two most influential figures, Heero's proposal would most likely be accepted.
Only Wu Shitian remained silent. But everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Kim Jung-Mun would convince Wu Shitian.
The sudden turn of events shocked the executives. With the support of the two Supreme Guardians, the proposal had a high chance of being accepted. With two out of four Ancient Families supporting the reform, the power behind it was simply too great for them to oppose.
"The Musashi Clan will also support the reform!" Suddenly, Musashi Kaminaga announced the Musashi Clan's stance.
The executives were more than shocked by the sudden dropping of an atomic bomb. Yes, Musashi Kaminaga's words were like an atomic bomb to the other executives.
They immediately turned to Musashi Kaminaga with an unbelievable expression on their faces.
The explanation was what they wanted to hear from Musashi Kaminaga.
Musashi Kaminaga waved his smartwatch at the others. A message from the head of the Musashi clan, Musashi Kenzan, appeared on the screen.
[Support the reform!]
With Musashi Kenzan's declaration, Heero has just received additional support from another ancient power, the founder of Star City. Three of the four remaining founders supported the reform.
Park Yong-Gi held his chin as he fell into deep contemplation.
Three founding powers... The reform is inevitable... There's no need to ask brother, it's better to show the Park family's stance right now to show our goodwill for the reform!
"The Park family will agree to the reform!"
Swoosh!
This time everyone turned to the young executive. Park Yong-Gi had actively participated in the previous plan to get Heero's secret technique through SES. But how he suddenly supported the person he schemed against. It certainly surprised everyone.
Clap!
"Let's postpone the meeting for now! You can go back and discuss this matter with your household. This matter is just too big to make a decision now!" Bai Xian Ming announced with a clap.
The executives certainly agreed. They could not make a decision without an order from their backers.
The meeting ended inconclusively, and the executives immediately excused themselves and left the conference room. They left Wu Shanxi and Kim Sunghyon alone with the Chief Guardian.
"You can go back without me, Sunghyon," Kim Jung-Mun waved his hand at Kim Sunghyon.
"You too, Shanxi!" Wu Shitian also motioned for Wu Shanxi to go back without him.
"Yes!" Both executives bowed to the two Supreme Guardians and left the conference room.
Wu Shitian immediately glared at his two friends as soon as all the executives left the conference room.
"What is the meaning of this? How could you two just hand over the Hero League to a snotty brat like him?"
"Calm down, Shitian. We are not handing over the Hero League to him, we are just letting him lead the Hero League! It's not like we don't have the power to remove him from his position if he tries to abuse his authority later."
Kim Jung-Mun replied calmly to the hot-tempered Wu Shitian.
"Besides, didn't you listen to him? His reason for wanting the reform?"
"Don't tell me you believe his nonsense, Jung-Mun!"
"Instead of playing guessing games, why don't we ask the person directly?" Bai Xian Ming chimed in as he stood up from his chair.
"That's a good idea!" Kim Jung-Mun also stood up.
"Urgh!?" Wu Shitian did not want to meet Heero, but he was really curious. Curious about what this young man would say to them. He followed his two friends to Xing District.
Xing District
Bai Xian Ming stood in front of the Miao Miao Noodle & Ramen Shop. He looked back at his two friends, "Let's fill our stomachs first, shall we?"
Wu Shitian was about to refuse, but Kim Jung-Mun spoke first, "Mnn, I want a bowl of ramen."
Without waiting for Wu Shitian's opinion, they both entered the shop. Bai Xian Ming and Kim Jung-Mun were regular customers. Bai Xian Ming immediately went to the noodle bar, while Kim Jung-Mun went to the ramen bar.
Two buildings were connected by a glass door, and the next shop was the ramen shop. A ramen shop opened by Musashi Hirata's mother, Lady Yuka.
Wu Shitian was confused at first. He had never visited that shop before. Finally, he followed Kim Jung-Mun to the ramen shop.
"Welcome, Grandpa Ming~," Han Ying, who was delivering a bowl of noodles to a customer, spotted Bai Xian Ming. She greeted him with a soft smile.
"As usual?" Han Ying smiled.
Bai Xian Ming grinned and nodded, "As usual! I will eat at the next shop, please send my noodles there."
Han Ying made a gesture.
"Where is your husband?" Just as Old Ming was about to turn around, he remembered that he came here to meet Heero, so he asked.
"Oh, he went with Zhou Yi to the first dungeon for special training. He said he would be late!"
'Specialized training? Ah, he wants to raise the standard of heroes, so he starts with his disciple first.'
Bai Xian Ming nodded and went to the ramen shop. He joined Kim Jung-Mun and said, "He's off to the first dungeon with Sun Zhou Yi..."
*** ***
First Dungeon
Sun Zhou Yi followed his master closely. He was not as cheerful as usual because of what happened yesterday. He wanted to ask what actually happened, but he did not dare to aproach the subject.
He could feel an overwhelming hatred back then. It was so strong that he felt like he was going to be killed. But he knew that the hatred was not directed at him, but at a name he mentioned, God Horas.
It was the first time he saw his master lose control of his emotions. But...
'Does God even exist?' Sun Zhou Yi thought.
Instead of being curious about his training, Sun Zhou Yi was more concerned about his master. He wanted to help, but he did not know what to do.
"It's unusual that you don't seem that interested in your new training," Heero broke the silence between them.
"Urgh!?" Sun Zhou Yi did not know how to react. He could not just answer with "I'm more worried about you, Master!"
"You must want to know what happened to me yesterday, right?" Heero turned around and faced his student.
Sun Zhou Yi unconsciously nodded but then shook his head again.
They had reached the edge of the first dungeon.
"I will tell you what happened between me and God Horas! But you must be thinking, 'Does God really exist?', right?"
Sun Zhou Yi's eyes widened when his master managed to read his thoughts.
"well the god I'm talking about is a title not what you are thinking about. This title is given because of how strong the individual is, so don't be so concerned about it." Heero answered his worries.
"To make my story more believable, I will introduce you to someone. A new master who will teach you a new technique and inherit his power!"
Plop!
Sun Zhou Yi suddenly fell on his butt as he pointed his finger at Heero's back. His eyes were shaking and his hand was trembling violently.
A dragon, he saw a black dragon coming out of the void. The black dragon's red blood pupils fell on him. His body froze the moment he met the pupils.
Looking at his student's reaction, he knew that Niadin must have shown himself to Sun Zhou Yi. He turned around and met the Void Dragon Niadin.
"Hoho, he's the candidate I was talking about back then, so stop intimidating him with your petty trick every time you meet a human," Heero rolled his eyes at the Void Dragon.
However, Niadin ignored Heero's words as he looked at Sun Zhou Yi. After a moment of silence, the Void Dragon opened his mouth.
"So this is the candidate you have chosen to inherit my bloodline?"
