Butler Rodin wore a worried expression. Ryan White's confident tone did not reassure him at all. He became even more worried because Sun Zhou Yi was not someone to be trifled with.
"I hope you are not looking down on them, Young Master! Especially for Sun Zhou Yi and his master!"
The old man tried to remind Ryan White of his kindness.
Hearing these words, Ryan White turned around with a surprised expression on his face.
"Why? Can you tell me more about them?" He was not angry, but slightly intrigued.
A man of unknown origin and a newly promoted Emperor Class Hero. His uncle seemed to be more concerned about these two than a descendant of the Musashi Clan.
"No, I heard from the rumors that the leader of the Ranker Alliance has gone missing, and it was related to Xing Heero. Not only Ryong Chong-Shik, but Hanzo Keiji also disappeared!"
"Sun Zhou Yi, he's someone who was called a sword god after his battle against the horde of the level 10 threat! After that, he slowly gained fame and participated in a battle against the specters..."
Butler Rodin explained all of Sun Zhou Yi's achievements and background. One after another, and it slowly shocked Ryan White.
Based on his uncle's story, Sun Zhou Yi had experienced tremendous growth in just a few months.
"After many interviews with the media, Sun Zhou Yi revealed that the secret behind his growth is his master!"
Once again, Butler Rodin tried to remind the young master to be careful of Xing Heero.
Ryan White nodded his head and rubbed his chin.
"What about Musashi Hirata? Do you know anything about him?"
"I don't know much about him. He refused all interviews and rarely appeared in public. But the rumors say that Xing Heero was the one who helped him to perfect the sword technique of the Musashi clan!"
Butler Rodin replied in a worried tone. He was really worried about his young master, the unknown was something to be wary of. No one knew the depth of this Xing Heero.
"Hoho, no wonder he can reach his current status. Two Emperor Class Heroes, those old men must be greedy for this guy's secret," Ryan White chuckled and looked at Butler Rodin.
"I'll be fine, Uncle Rodin. No matter how strong they are, my victory is inevitable!" He gave a reassuring smile and his voice carried confidence.
"I believe in you, young master! I will try to find out more about Musashi Hirata," Butler Rodin bowed and turned around.
Ryan White nodded and leaned back. He tapped his index finger on the table, "No wonder they are not worried about me switching to the Ranker Alliance. The Giant Alliance is slowly being rooted out by this guy."
He leaned back in his chair, eyes closed, a confident smile on his lips.
"That guy must be someone from that place, I am one hundred percent sure, but it will not change anything. I am someone from that place too!"

The Star Forum, where the people of Star City gathered online, was in an uproar over the big news that was circulating.
The Rank 1 Emperor Class Hero, who had just returned from his expedition, challenged the president of the Hero League.
The madness did not stop there. Right after Ryan White challenged Xing Heero, his two famous disciples challenged Ryan White.
The Star Forum was on fire. The majority of people supported the challenge, it was a kind of entertainment for them, while the minority did not agree with the challenge.
Of course, the minority would be overwhelmed by the majority. That was what always happened.
Heero Academy, Cafeteria
Benjamin, Ye Zhun, and Kim Hyun-Su gathered around a table. The atmosphere around them was quite awkward as Ye Zhun tried to avoid Benjamin's eyes.
Stupid Ye Zhun, how could you say that to Benjamin? He just lost his father and... He is the Second Prince of the Royal Kingdom... Ye Zhun, oh Ye Zhun...'
Ye Zhun had conflicting thoughts. After saying all those things to Benjamin yesterday, he realized the severity behind his words.
What if Benjamin used his background to do something for his family because of what he said yesterday?
That was what worried Ye Zhun. If it were not for Kim Hyun-Su, he would have locked himself in his room.
"S-sorry, Benjamin..."
To Ye Zhun's surprise, Benjamin did not seem to be angry with him. Benjamin smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not your fault. In fact, I am grateful to you. Thank you for waking me up from my stupidity."
Benjamin bowed his head in return, which surprised Ye Zhun. He looked at Benjamin dumbfounded as he never expected such a scenario.
"Stop being stupid, it's already started!" Kim Hyun-Su slapped Ye Zhun's shoulder.
"Ah, right!" Ye Zhun nodded repeatedly and looked at the big screen.
Today, the three of them had gathered here to watch their master's conference.
Sure enough, on the screen, Heero was accompanied by his two wives, who were also his secretaries, Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue. Only three of them from the Hero League faced the media, no one else.
The conference was to respond to the challenge issued by Emperor Class Hero - Rank 1, Ryan White.
As the three figures appeared on the screen, a barrage of curses rained down on the side of the screen. They were cursing Heero for taking the two goddesses, of course.
Conference Hall.
Heero tapped the microphone twice and let out a small cough to clear his throat. Then he looked at Bai Xin Yue. She nodded her head.
"Alright, let's start the conference! As the notice said, the conference is to address the recent issue that caused an uproar on the forum by our respected hero, Ryan White, who just returned from his trip!"
"Before I address the issue, I would like to clarify something. It seems that people are misunderstanding something about Ryan White's trip!" At the end of his sentence, Heero made a quote gesture with his hand.
The reporters looked at each other, a little confused, but immediately focused back on their smartwatches.
"First of all, I would like to clarify that the esteemed hero Ryan White did not go on a mission trip. He left without notice, did not tell us where he was going, and could not be reached."
"I read the forum and people seemed to misunderstand, so I want to clear that up first. He did not go on a mission, but traveled around and could not be contacted!"
The reporters looked surprised when they heard this. They immediately tapped something on their smartwatches.
"The second issue, the respected hero Ryan White seemed to disagree with my reform. And it seems that over ninety percent of the heroes also agreed with the respected hero Ryan White's view, the revaluation test, and so on! Here I would like to explain the meaning of the revaluation test!"
"It is to evaluate the strength of the heroes, whether they deserve their classes or not. After all, their salaries are paid from the taxes of the citizens of Star City, and we who manage those taxes just want to make sure that every hero is worthy of their salaries."
"That's why we have the revaluation test in the reform. In addition to the salary, a certain class also received a certain privilege. '
"So the purpose of the revaluation is to make sure that your money is not wasted. After all, if you're strong enough and confident in your strength, you don't need to worry, it's not like the Hero League will give you an impossible test!"
"Third, which is the main issue, a hero challenged... Wait a minute, a challenger is created to resolve conflicts between heroes. I am not a hero, does this rule even apply to me?" Heero had a confused look on his face, but his tone was playful.
"Will you decline the challenge, President of the Hero League?" A bespectacled reporter stood up and asked a question.
"Are you going to shamelessly refuse the challenge with that pathetic excuse? Are you afraid of the strongest hero, Ryan White?"
Everyone in the conference looked in one direction. Everyone was looking at the brave reporter who dared to question the President of the Hero League.

"Haha... Stupid guy! Do you think I didn't anticipate such a move? Do you think you can run away from me? Haha!"
Ryan White sat comfortably on the couch with a cup of coffee in his hand, watching the show.
Except for the first statement, which was unexpected and might tarnish his name, everything went well.
"If you want to refuse the challenge, you should not broadcast the conference, no, you should not broadcast it if you want to refuse the challenge, idiot!"
"Oh dear, you did not accept the challenge, and now you are doomed to die at my hands!"
