234 Acciden

Staring to the sky for a moment, Bai Xian Ming continued his steps. But then he stopped again after five steps.

"Ah, if I recall correctly Mathias came to me, saying their Leader was captured by Heero…"

Yes, the reason he came to meet Heero was Mathias Oliver's visit. He claimed Heero captured their Leader.

Mathias Oliver threatened him to release their Leader. If not, the war was inevitable.

At that time, he felt it was very absurd. There was no way he believed that hence he assumed it was related to the current lawsuit against the Iron Fist Martial House.

He thought Mathias Oliver was just threatening him, asking him to stop Heero. Mathias Oliver came strongly to him and he decided to talk with Heero.

Yes, he never thought that the leader of the Ranker Alliance truly went missing. No, the leader was not missing, he was dead.

"Now, what should I do? Should I ignore…" Bai Xian Ming came into a sudden pause. He put a puzzled look while furrowing his brows.

The frown was getting deeper and a frustrating sigh escaped his mouth.

"Hah… it seems I have grown senile. What did Heero say to me just now?" The old man muttered hard.

"Ahh… I can't remember a single thing…" Then the old man paused again.

The frown was still there, but this time, he looked at his surroundings.

"Why am I here? Where is this place? Ah, this is Heero Academy… What am I doing here anyway? Hah… I have truly grown senile, "

The same thing repeated a few times until he was outside of the Xing District.

"Huh… I need to teach those rankers some lessons. How can he say such nonsense? Ryong Chong-Shik is captured, what idiotic excuse to start a war! Do you want a war? Good then let's war!"

The old man grumbled as he walked to his car. He opened the back seat.

He sat straight, glaring at the driver who was a young man in his early twenties.

"Xiao Yun! Why did you bring me here!?" Suddenly Bai Xian Ming raised his voice.

Before the young man called Xiao Yun could reply, the old man continued, "How many times have I told you that I am busy?"

"Many times!" An instant reply came from the young man.

"Then why are you still bringing me here?"

"I am worried you are stressed from work. So I brought you here to relax. I heard this place has good food!"

"What nonsense! I don't need to relax! Bring me back to the office now!"

"Yes, Executive Bai!" Afterward, Xiao Yun started the car.

Xiao Yun looked at the rearview mirror and saw the old man was grinning ear to ear. He looked very happy, completely different when he was scolded.

'It seems Executive Bai is very happy, '

This was not the first time. Xiao Yun was used to this kind of show.

Just like that, the one-man-show starred by the Chief Executive of the Hero League had come to an end. The ending was the old man never visited the Xing District.

'Kuhuhu… I don't remember anything. I don't know Ryong Chong-Shik and Hanzo Keiji are dead! I know nothing at all!"

Toward the north of Star City

A group of kids around ten to twelve moved in a group in the dense forest. They moved as sneakily as possible.

A boy in his thirteen with golden pupils was the one who led the group.

He stood in the foremost position. Hiding behind a big tree, the boy raised his hand and clenched his palm into a fist.

It was a signal for his team member to stop. Slowly, the boy tilted his head.

Around twenty meters ahead, he saw a silver bull with three horns. The bull was three meters tall and his red-colored eyes looked menacing.

The boy was not only afraid of the beast, but he cheered inwardly, 'Yes~ It's Silver Dragoon! Worth of a thousand points, '

The boy was Benjamin Rowland Kingsman, one of Heero Academy's first-generation disciples.

He was leading a group to hunt the beast as per his Master's order. But the task turned into a competition under Butcher Wang's scheme.

The loser would be punished and the winner would be rewarded.

All this time, the team he led never won even once. But of course, he also never lost. His team always got second place out of three teams.

In fact, in the last week, the position never changed. The team one under the leadership of Kim Hyun-Su was the one who always lost.

Team three who always won in the hunting game was led by Ye Zhun. He was only a son of a hunter from the outer region. No big background, growing under limited resources. But they managed to keep winning the competition.

On the contrary, he was a prince. He grew with the unlimited resource, he had consumed all kinds of high-grade elixir. He was far superior compared to Ye Zhun.

However, he never won even once. Benjamin could not accept this result. He had been trying hard and now he found hope to win. The Silver Dragoon, a beast worth of a thousand points.

'Victory is mine!'

Benjamin turned his head. He scanned his team members. Just as he wanted to instruct his team member, he heard a rustling noise.

His hearing was quite sharp, so he signaled his team member to be quiet. The boy immediately turned around and looked toward where the noise came from.

It seemed the Silver Dragoon also heard the noise. It stopped eating the grass and crooked its dragon-like head toward the noise direction.

Shoosh! Shoosh! Shoosh!

Three shadows bolted out of thick brushwood. The Silver Dragoon startled and immediately escaped as fast as lightning.

Benjamin wanted to curse aloud at the three shadows. However, he only opened his mouth but no words came out.

He was also startled to his discovery. A mutant, the three shadows were a mutant.

Two adult mutants were chasing after a mutant child.

Benjamin was rooted on the spot as he saw something that should not be here.

The same for the other team members. Everyone froze on the spot as fear slowly showed on their face.

The mutant child that looked like a seven or eight years old kid was agile.

But no matter how agile the mutant child was the adult mutant was still faster.

Swoosh!

The adult mutant swung its hand-like talon and grazed the mutant child's right foot.

"Gryaaa!" The mutant child cried out in pain. From the voice of the mutant child, she was more likely a girl.

As the mutant child lost her footing, she crashed toward Benjamin.

The boy subconsciously pulled out his hunting spear. He tried to aim the spear toward the mutant child, but a hand stopped him.

Xu Lingxun who oversaw the team two pushed the hunting spear away and caught the mutant child.

After he caught the mutant child, he backed away and yelled, "What are you doing? Get your ass move if you still want to live longer!"

Meanwhile, in the third dungeon, the expedition group was done with the ruin exploration. They found nothing in the ruin except a broken building made of stone.

Each of the buildings was also empty. It took them six days to explore the ruin, then they headed back to the dungeon gate.

"Where are you going? We are not going back! We will continue the exploration!" Musashi Ueno pointed toward the opposite direction of the ruin.

Elazaro Tania grumbled unhappily as she pulled half of her right foot that stepped into the gate and followed the three old men.

She thought they were going to take a break after a week of ruin exploration, but that was not the case.

The group walked for two hours and stopped when they saw a mountainous area ahead of them.

Just like the sun which had a different color, even the mountain was also different. From afar, the mountain was purple in color.

The Trio Sword Lunatic led the group to the purple mountain. When they reached the foot mountain, only then they discovered why the mountain looked purple-colored from afar.

It was because of the mountain packed with trees, a big one with dense leaves.

The trees were huge and tall. It had a thick branch with dense purple-colored leaves.

Yes, these purple leaves were the reason why the mountain turned purple. From the foot mountain to the peak, the mountain was filled with these trees.

Looking up to the mountain, Musashi Noboru spoke in a rather excited tone, "I can feel it! There's something in this mountain!"

Having said that, Musashi Noboru stepped to the mountain.

Swish!

An arrow whistled through the air and hit the ground. To be more exact, the arrow was shot right in front of Musashi Noboru.

The sudden attack startled the group. They looked up to the direction where the arrow came from.

A hundred meters ahead, they saw a woman with purple-leather armor, holding a bow with an arrow nocked in.

"\u0026@%#\u0026$-@$@*$$!!!" Then, the woman spoke in an incomprehensible language.
