Early the next morning, Heero met Niadin and Ryan White in the backyard of the Academy.
He did not know what the old man had done, but it seemed that he had managed to convince Ryan White.
"All right, he gave the location, but I doubt they'll still be there after a week..." Old Man Niadin was the first to speak, breaking the awkward atmosphere between them.
"I know, but if it was a dungeon and they moved it, you could track them," Heero grinned at the old man.
That was Heero's thought. He assumed that Ryan White got the bloodline from Dramonia Land.
"You planned this from the beginning, right?" Old Niadin glared at Heero.
That was how Niadin felt. He felt that Heero had planned this.
Heero cornered Ryan White because he showed some interest in him. Then Heero used Ryan White to get his help.
"I planned it, but I would really do what I said if you had not promised me something yesterday," Heero admitted immediately with a nod.
Ryan White did not understand the conversation, so he remained silent. However, his eyes had been on Heero since they met this morning.
"I know. Well, are you ready for a trip?" Niadin did not take this as an insult. After all, helping Heero was one of his intentions. Besides, he had decided to come out of his nest.
"I'm ready anytime, but I am curious how you will convince this stubborn and opportunistic guy?" Heero looked at Ryan White.
"I am his master now!" Old Niadin replied with a broad grin.
After asking Sun Zhou Yi a few questions, he learned that the two of them had a conflict over a woman. So the old man could not help but tease Heero.
"It will take him thousands of years to beat me," Heero remained unfazed even though he knew the hidden message of Old Man Niadin.
The old man said that he was teaching his love rival and told him to be careful. The look on the old man's face told him that.
"He was even beaten by my disciple... huhu..."
Ryan White could not help but grit his teeth. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist tighter. The fact that Heero was clear about his family's case did not erase the animosity between them.
'I can beat him and I will... Yes, I can... I have a dragon as my master now...'
Niadin convinced Ryan White after showing his true form.
Old Man Niadin smiled when he heard Heero's words. He could not help but sigh. Even though he had never seen Heero fight someone with his eyes, he believed Heero. He could not deny the claim.
"All right, enough with the chitchat. You follow me!" With that, Old Man Niadin grabbed Ryan White's waist and shot into the sky.
Without warning or reminder, Ryan White was flung into the sky. He did not scream, but that did not mean he was not afraid.
He was scared to death and his eyes went white for a few seconds. He did not scream because he almost fainted.
As he adjusted to his surroundings, tears welled up in his eyes. But he forced himself to hold back the tears. It was because he saw Heero's smug face as soon as he opened his eyes.
He did not want to look weak in front of Heero. He held back his tears and tried to look calm as he avoided Heero's gaze.
But he made a mistake. Instead of looking the other way, he looked down.
At that moment, he closed his eyes in fear. He was at the height where he would die instantly if he fell.
He was scared because this was his first time flying like this. His body subconsciously trembled, and right after that, he heard mocking laughter from the side.
This laughter only made him feel worse. From that moment on, he did not dare to open his eyes or even look at Heero. During the ride, he did not open his eyes until they arrived at their destination.
Ryan White still did not dare to look at Heero even when he was standing on the ground. He was so embarrassed and avoided Heero's eyes.
But of course Heero did not pay any attention to the ashamed Ryan when he arrived. It was an island, an island with nothing but rocks.
A five hundred square meter island with nothing but rocks. There were no trees or creatures around, just rocks and boulders. Not even grass could be found.
"This is the place?" Heero scanned the area with his Mystic Eyes. There was nothing suspicious that his eyes could find.
Only the colorful energy and the gray energy around the island was denser. That was what he could only find with his eyes.
An island in the middle of the sea with a gate to a certain dimension. Too much coincidence, or maybe this was a trap prepared by the people who manipulated Ryan.
"How did you find this place?" Heero asked Ryan White curiously. This was in the middle of nowhere, he was curious.
When Heero asked him, Ryan White did not want to answer. But when he heard the question, he realized something.
Yes, how could he come here? This place was basically unnoticed even on the map, so how could he find this place?
Ryan White was in a daze as he tried to figure out the mystery that even he did not know. He blinked a few times, thinking hard.
Meanwhile, Heero watched Ryan White from the side. Looking at Ryan White's expression, he could tell that even he did not know the answer.
"It seems that the Abyss parasite was planted in his head before he gets the bloodline," Heero shared his thoughts with Niadin.
"It seems that way, but I am pretty sure it was not the Abyss Parasite, but some kind of hypnotic technique. The Abyss Parasite needs time to take effect," Niadin added some missing explanation.
He was trying to tell Ryan White that the enemy had infiltrated his family before he could get the bloodline.
'If that is what really happened, then Heero's investigation is most likely true...'
"Then what have you been doing these past few years?" Heero turned back to the dazed Ryan White.
This guy had been missing for a few years, and bloodline inheritance did not take that long, so he was curious what Ryan White had been doing in those few years.
Ryan White slowly turned his head in Heero's direction. His movement was quite stiff and he still had the same blank expression on his face.
He blinked his eyes a few times before shaking his head.
"Don't tell me you remember nothing?" Heero asked with a surprised look on his face.
Ryan White unconsciously nodded his head.
It was true, for some unknown reason he had lost his memories in the dungeon. He could not remember a single thing, but he did remember vague memories of his friends.
Yes, friends...
"My friends..." He mumbled something, but before he could finish his words, Niadin appeared beside him.
He punched Ryan White in the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.
"The gap of missing memories is too long..." Niadin cast a pitiful look at Ryan White.
He was a victim of the specter's plan. He lost his family and now there was a gap in his memories as well.
Heero had a complicated expression on his face as he looked at the unconscious Ryan White.
But then he met Niadin's pleading gaze. Even though no words were exchanged between them, Heero knew what the old man wanted.
His expression turned cold in a fraction of a second, "You'll have to kill me if you want to do that! My wife is not something you can borrow and I'm not obliged to help him!"
He could tell that the old man wanted to ask for his help. His wife, Bai Xin Yue, was of great value in Ryan White's life.
She could be a great help to Ryan White since his family could no longer help him.
"I crossed the line, I am sorry," Old Man Niadin apologized immediately.
Heero's strong attitude was understandable to him. He had heard from Saint what had happened to Heero.
"Alright, let's finish our business here. I found a trace of the dungeon here and I have good news for you," Niadin changed the subject immediately.
Then he went to the shore and looked down into the sea.
"It seems that they moved the gate into the deep sea, do you want to check it out?"
