The old man prayed secretly that he was just hallucinating. He prayed what he heard was not true.
Alas, everything was true. Heero did not hide from the old man.
"Yes, I killed the Leader of the Ranker Alliance. Who was it again"
"It was an old man, he is kinda surrounded by a gentle aura. Long hair and beard, about 1.8 ters tall"
Hearing how detailed the young man was describing the old man he killed. Bai Xian Ming was sure that it was the Leader of the Ranker Alliance, Ryong Chong-Shik.
Heero stopped halfway upon noticing the old man in front of him just blankly looking at an empty spot. He was kinda worried.
"Elder Bai, are you okay?"
Hearing the question, Bai Xian Ming moved his pupils to look at the young man. He found out the young man did not feel guilty in the slightest.
"Hahh.."
The old man exhaled a long breath and powerlessly sat down on his chair.
"I thought you already knew about it" Heero muttered in a low voice as he looked at the shocked old man.
"How am I supposed to know about this?" Bai Xian Ming snorted back.
"Don't you co here to talk about this matter with ?"
"Just like I said, how am I supposed to know that you killed Ryong Chong-Shik if you don't tell about it!?" The old man grew annoyed the longer he spoke with Heero.
For the first ti, he felt the young man in front of him could be annoying like this.
Indeed, he ca here to talk about the rankers matter with Heero. He intended to ask Heero to stop exposing the ranker's cri.
He wanted to prevent the war between them. But now he found out the thing that he never expected to happen.
At this point, war is inevitable. There was a way to stop the war, giving up Heero. However, the old man imdiately threw those thoughts away.
Hah
For the second, the old man released a sigh and looked straight to the young man.
"What's more, do you hide from ? Spit it out!"
"Mnnn I actually killed another old man aside from the Leader, " Heero confessed honestly.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
As soon as he heard, the old man's heartbeat accelerated until he could hear it. His thoughts were wandering, thinking who this other old man was.
An old man together with Ryong Chong-Shik. It was highly that old man Again, Bai Xian Ming secretly prayed his guess was wrong.
"Who was that old man again Wait a minute, let check it!" Heero unlocked his smartwatch and searched for a file sent by Fatty Liang.
"Let's see Let's see, " He muttered while opening the attachnt.
Soon, an old man's profile appeared on the screen. The old man was Hanzo Keiji, Ryong Chong-Shik's best friend.
"Ah, he's Hanzo Keiji, Legendary Class Ranker" Heero read them profile without looking at the old man.
When he raised his head, he found out the old man powerlessly leaned back on his seat and stared dazedly at the empty ceiling.
Not only he killed the leader of the Ranker Alliance. Heero also killed the head of Hanzo Clan's big brother, Hanzo Keiji.
He could see how bleak the future was. Not only he killed the current head of the Ryong Family. He also killed the influential figure of the Hanzo Clan.
"You really didn't know, Grandpa Bai, " Heero changed the way he called the old man to please Bai Xian Ming.
He did not wait for the old man to respond and continued in a rather puzzled tone, "It's weird, Xin Yue saw kill the two old n though. Shouldn't she inform you"
The words trailed off as Heero realized sothing. The girls knew that the old man he killed was quite influential. So they covered it up for him.
Subconsciously, Heero smiled happily at what the two girls did for him.
Slowly, Bai Xian Ming crooked his head to look at Heero. He blinked his eyes a few tis and asked, "Xin Yue knew it?"
"Yes, she even watched killing Hanzo Keiji, " The smile on Heero's face beca wider.
The helpless old man slowly showed a hint of anger. But Heero continued with a question.
"Before you jump into a weird conclusion or your dull imagination, you should ask what the two old n ca here for, Grandpa Bai!" Out of blue, Heero turned solemn and stated out.
'Ah!' Only then the old man got his mind straight. Yes, rather than worrying about the future, he should look into this matter first.
There must be a reason why Heero killed the two old n. After all, the guy in front of him was not a mass murderer or a criminal.
"I am all ears!"
Then, Heero told him what Ryong Chong-Shik said to him. About wanting to get his secret technique by kidnapping his daughter.
"Even after knowing my position, they are fearless. They are so daring to do that! Do you know why? Because you are too soft-hearted!"
"You are worrying about the things that might not happen in the future. Don't you feel it? Not only the Ranker Alliance but the Hero League also begin to rot?"
"Moreover, the Ranker Alliance has crossed the line. In order to overthrow the Hero League, they did not hesitate to betray humanity and work together with the specter! How can you still be soft-hearted with all of this happening before your eyes?"
"There will be a second and third ti if you don't make any move, Grandpa Bai!"
Bai Xian Ming did not refute Heero's claim. Yes, he also knew the Hero League began to change direction as the sa as the Ranker Alliance.
But a change was impossible to do. If it was possible, he already did it a long ti ago. He was in a helpless situation despite his high position.
"All right, Grandpa Bai! Don't let this thing overwhelm you! If the Ranker Alliance cos to you, just tell them you don't know. After all, if we don't tell them what actually happened, no one will know that I killed their leader, right?"
Heero spoke as if the matter of killing the Ranker Alliance leader was nothing.
Bai Xian Ming found the young man's words had so truths in it.
"Anyway, I am not going to stop what I am currently doing! Bla them, daring to have an idea of touching my family! I will slowly root them from the bottom to the top, I am not going to stop until the Ranker Alliance disintegrates!"
Heero declared his stance and added dramatically, "The war flag has been raised, you can't stop it, "
'Ah, I can't lead the change of the Hero League, but there's soone who can do that, '
Bai Xian Ming was pretty much ignoring Heero's words. As he had another thought on his mind.
His eyes glead as he looked at Heero.
The young man in front of him was standing alone. There was no force backing him.
The guy also seed to lack interest in authority or fa or even wealth. He just did sothing he felt right and never crossed the line.
It could be said the young man was kind and benevolent. He had heard about Heero built a nursing ho and orphanage to accommodate the people who lost their family during the attack.
Added with his asurable power, the young man in front of him was the right person for soone to lead the change, the transformation.
Out of the blue, Bai Xian Ming smiled brilliantly.
"Good, do whatever you want. I will not stop you, but I have a condition! Not only the ranker, but I also want you to expose the hero's cri!"
With his mind set, Bai Xian Ming imdiately executed the plan he had formulated for a long ti ago.
"In exchange, I will take care of the matter of the Ranker Alliance. Not only that, but I will also use the Bai Family na to protect your family. With the Bai Family na, there will no one dare to touch your family anymore!"
Bai Xian Ming offered his hand for a handshake and said, "Deal?"
Heero without hesitation reaching the old man's hand, "Deal!"
Though he was confused with the sudden change, Heero readily agreed with the old man.
After the deal, Bai Xian Ming stood from his chair, but Heero did not release his hand.
"What's wrong?"
Heero smiled and held the old man's hand with his two hands.
"Grandpa Bai, don't get too hard for Xin Yue, okay? She did not for , "
Bai Xian Ming rolled his eyes and pulled his hand. He left the martial hall.
When he was outside, he stopped for a mont and looked up to the bright sky.
"Storm's brewing! A storm will sweep the city, " A mutter escaped the old man's mouth.
