Fighter Anteriority - Part 4

"Calm down, Dad! They're only Steel Gophers! Besides, he is your grandson, so the Hero League must send someone to look after him!" Kang Yun Cheol comforted his worried father.

"I'm not worried about his safety! It's his mind that worries me! How can he be careless in his first fight in the wild!" As a Hero Instructor, Kang Myung-Chul not only taught how to fight, but also instilled a good mentality in the hero he took in.

Moreover, in the survival phase, the participant's task was to survive, not to kill the wild beast. Avoiding any beast was the best way to survive.

However, not only did his grandson not try to avoid the beast, he wanted to kill the beast. From the tone of his grandson's voice, Kang Myung-Chul could tell that his grandson was overconfident.

"You should blame your son for this, father! His brain is broken for letting a three-year-old girl get engaged!" A woman's voice rang out from the other side of the sofa, her tone frosty and cold.

"Sang-hee!" Kang Yun-Cheol shouted.

Not only was the woman unafraid of her husband, she also stared back with a cold gaze. Kang Sang-hee was Dong-woo and Myung-hee's mother.

She was 40, but looked like a woman just entering her 30s.

"What? You still feel what you are doing is right? If you had not sold your three-year-old daughter, do you think Dong-Woo would run away from home?"

"Stop! Stop! What really happened?" When the conversation turned into an argument, Kang Myung-Chul realised that something was wrong.

He had no idea that their grandson and granddaughter had run away from home. What he did know was that Kang Seo-Yeon had taken them somewhere for training.

"I worked hard for the so-called Kang family! I spent less time with my children for the so-called Kang family! And what did I get? Just to find out that my daughter was sold because some kid from a bigger family wanted her?"

"Your greed has crossed the line! You can live alone with your so-called Kang family! From tomorrow, you will have to find someone else to take over the family business. I will live with my children from tomorrow!"

she looked at Kang Myung-Chul and said "You can ask your son if you want to know the details, Dad!"

With that, Sang-Hee got up from the sofa and went back to her room. Yes, her room, she slept in a separate room after learning of the engagement.

Sang-hee was not only the eldest lady of the Kang family, but also the one who took care of the business of the Kang family.

She did all the work to improve the status of the family. Thanks to her efforts over the years, the Kang family was able to expand its influence the the businesses.

Of course, she had to sacrifice her time with her children. But she did not expect her crazy husband to do this. She was angry and disappointed.

Kang Yun-Cheol also got up from the sofa, but he met his father's intense gaze. He sighed and leaned back.

"Let's watch this first, I will explain everything to you later!"

Kang Myung-Chul nodded and looked back at the transmission. His grandson would have his first fight against the wild beast, so he wanted to see it first.

Kang Dong-Woo walked slowly, no sound coming from his every step. Kang Myung-Chul praised his grandson.The Beastial Forest was a dense forest, one could find a tree every five big steps. When the distance between him and the Steel Gophers was eight metres, Dong-Woo stopped and hid his body behind a tree.

"Concentrate on my palm... Concentrate on my palm..." Dong-Woo muttered as he clenched and opened his fist a few times.

Then he looked to his left, and only then did Kang Myung-Chul see his grandson's friend. Dong-Woo raised three fingers and the friend nodded.

The three fingers were a countdown. When the three fingers were folded down, the transmission went up.

Dong-Woo's movement was fast as the transmission became blurred. In less than three seconds, the blurred transmission cleared. It showed a different sight, Dong-Woo arriving at the back of two Steel Gophers.

Kang Myung-Chul rose from the sofa, his eyes fixed on his grandson. He saw the two hands reaching for the Steel Gophers' necks. Soon, a bone-crunching sound was transmitted through the transmission.

Dong-Woo looked up to see his friend killing the other in the same way.

Kang Myung-Chul was shocked. He could not believe that this was his grandson. Aside from the amazing speed, killing Steel Gophers with his bare hands surprised him even more.

True to its name, its fur was as hard as steel. But his grandson managed to break it with his bare hands.

Even Kang Yun-Cheol was surprised. He remembered that his son had joined an academy, 'so she wasn't lying back then that Xing Heero might be Sun Zhou Yi's master,'.

"Dong-Woo! my turn next, if we meet three, I'll get two, you get one!"

"Haha... alright!"

Next, Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun began to skin their prey. They left the flesh and took the steel hide with them.

Kang Myung-Chul was surprised, as his grandson seemed to know how to skin the steel gophers. Only then did he realise that this was not the first time his grandson had fought a wild beast.

No, not only was it not the first time, but his grandson had a great deal of experience in dealing with the wild beast. This could be seen in how well Dong-Woo skinned the steel gophers.

Just like that, Kang Myung-Chul put all his activities on hold and concentrated on watching his grandson's show for three days.

He watched every move his grandson made during the survival phase. If he had to score, Kang Myung-Chul would give his grandson a perfect score.

He gave a perfect score not because Dong-Woo was his grandson. He gave a perfect score as a heroic teacher, not as a grandfather.

The performance of his grandson and his friend in this survival phase was excellent. "On the last night of the survival phase, I'm going to have a little party for him!"

But then a deep frown appeared on his forehead as he realised that his grandson did not live in the same house as him.

He came out of his room and went to his son's room. Without a greeting, he asked, "Where is Dong-Woo now?"

Seeing how coldly his father treated him, Kang Yun-Cheol let out a sigh and replied, "He's staying in Xing District in the outer region! He is staying there with his sister!"

"Ah, that district..." Kang Myung-Chul nodded and left.

Miao Miao Noodle Shop

Since Fighter Anteriority started, Heero and Han Ying extended the opening hours until 1 am. This was at the request of customers who wanted to watch Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun's show.

Heero agreed under the enthusiasm of the customers. The two kids were starting to gain fans, even though they were not official heroes after three days of broadcasting.

At 1 midnight, Heero clapped his hands and shouted, "All right guys, it's already 1am, I'm going to close the shop now. Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun will be asleep soon, but you can meet them tomorrow! I will throw a small party for them, you can meet them here at noon!"

Tomorrow the survival phase will be over. The children were allowed to go home and come back the day after tomorrow to continue the direct fight between the participants who had survived the survival phase.

These were the people who stayed here. They could not afford to buy the exclusive broadcast, so they came here to watch it.

At Heero's words, the customers rose from their seats and thanked him.

"Thank you boss!"

As they walked out, Heero could hear the heated discussion between his customers. They were talking about what the two kids had done today.

Together, Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun managed to kill a silver level beast. The way they fought also left a deep impression on the customers.

After the shop was empty of customers, he started to clean up the shop. When he had finished, he noticed that Han Ying was still in the kitchen. She was doing the dishes.

He hugged his hardworking wife from behind and put his head on her shoulder.

"You've worked hard, why don't you rest and let me finish the job~" Heero whispered in Han Ying's ear.

"Huhu... Thanks to you, even though I've been working all day, I don't feel tired at all~"

"You're not tired?" Heero's eyes sparkled, "Then we can have a round here..."

"What are you talking about? We're in the kitchen..." Han Ying was certainly embarrassed.

"Hoho... Have you never heard of a kitchen play? I read on the forum that a kitchen play could deepen our relationship. Don't worry, this place is safe, I already locked the door..."

With that, Heero began to remove his partner's clothes and tried the legendary kitchen play.
