Allies - Part 4

Heero sat in the front seat while Musashi Hirata sat in the driver's seat.

In the back, the children were excited as they watched the scenery outside.

Behind Heero's car, another car followed. It was the girls, Hong Yu, Han Ying, Bai Xin Yue, and Kang Seo-Yeon.

"Where are we going, Daddy?" Miao Miao asked expectantly.

"We're going to a secret place to meet some new friends" Heero replied with a smile.

"A secret place?" The other three little girls came closer to Heero, wanting to know more about the secret place.

"Yes! This is a secret place, so don't tell anyone, not even your friends, okay?"

"Even Tong Tong and Meng Meng?" Lan Lan asked.

The five of them often played together and could be considered her best friends, even to Myung-Hee and Miao Miao.

"It's okay if it's Tong Tong and Meng Meng. You can invite them to visit this place later."

Heero said while talking to the kids. The car drove towards the abandoned city.

As for Sun Zhou Yi and the others, they were dead drunk. So Heero left them behind, he wanted the place he was heading to remain hidden.

After about half an hour, the car arrived in front of the massive wall. The children looked at the wall in awe.

Even though they often saw the big ones in Star City, the wall in front of them was different in structure.

Musashi Hirata drove through the open gate into the city. He stopped for a moment and asked, "Where are we going, master?"

"To the highest building of the city..." His memories of Watu City were blurred and he had an idea of where to find what he wanted.

"Woah... It's a stone house... Many of them..." Myung-Hee was somewhat surprised by the sight.

They passed many stone houses and it took them a few minutes to reach their destination.

The car stopped in front of a stone building that was about a hundred meters high. Next to the building was a stone monument in ruins.

Heero got out of the car and the kids followed him.

He took a while to remember the past. He had visited the city three times. The first time he visited this place was because of his grandfather. His grandfather admired this place very much, so he was interested in the city.

At that time, the four girls also arrived.

"Let's go inside and meet our new friends!"

The group entered the hundred meter tall building.

"Is it okay to enter this building?" Han Ying asked worriedly. The building looked like it was about to collapse at any moment, so her concern was not unfounded.

"It's okay! Even if a missile hits this building, it will not fall!" Heero assured the girl.

But of course his words were not convincing enough to convince Han Ying.

"It's okay, sister. If anything happens, he will protect us" Hong Yu pulled her big sister into the building.

Once they entered the building, the group was surprised. While the stone outside was pitch black, the stone inside was glowing white. Not too bright, but tons of glowing stones together made the inner tower almost spotlessly white.

But that was it, except for the glowing wall, there was nothing special to be found inside. It was an empty building. Even though the building was a hundred meters high, there was only one floor. Literally empty, not even weeds or dust could be found.

Strange, but nothing special. A short sentence to describe the inside of the building.

Since there was nothing inside, the girls and kids looked closer at the wall, curious how stone could give off such a glow.

Same for Heero, he touched the wall and murmured, "Where is it...?"

"Did they move it?"

After a while of searching, Heero found the key to the secret place, Underworld City.

"Ah, so they moved it..."

Yes, there was another city under Watu City, people usually called it Underworld City, the city of the tiny people.

"Guys, don't stay in the middle, move closer to the wall."

Even though they did not know why, they still followed the order.

"Then close your eyes if you don't want to go blind!" Heero turned to the kids and said in a stern tone, "Miao Miao, Myung-Hee, Lan Lan and Moira! Close your eyes and count to ten!"

Then he looked around and saw that they all had their eyes closed. He thrust his right hand forward and pushed a bulging stone into it.

Immediately, the stone glowed brighter and turned into a blinding light. He was forced to close his eyes as well.

Outside the abandoned city

"Huh... Huh... Huh..." Elazaro Tania ran out of breath. She had chased the car from the purple mountain to here.

Her body and face were drenched in sweat. She wanted to follow Heero and the group. But Heero refused to take her with him and left the Purple Mountain Village.

Not wanting to be left behind, she secretly followed the car. It seemed she had overestimated her endurance when she ran out of breath and lost the car.

"They must be having fun, I have to catch up!" Elazaro muttered to Tania and entered the abandoned city.

She had no hidden agenda. She just wanted to have fun instead of staying with people who spoke a language she did not understand.

Once inside, she followed the trail left by the car. After an exhausting search, she finally found two cars parked in front of the tallest building.

"Huhuhu... Found you..." Elazaro Tania was happy to see the two cars.

She looked inside the car, but no one was inside. She looked on the ground and found footprints heading towards the highest building.

"So you are inside..."

Elazaro Tania did not enter the building immediately. She stood there thinking.

"But what were they doing inside?"

She had also entered this building once, but there was nothing special inside. Just glowing walls.

"There must be some kind of secret inside..." She remembered Heero. This man seemed to know the third dungeon. It was possible that he knew something about this building.

"I'll find out once I get inside!"

Elazaro Tania entered the building and...

"Where are they?" She was stunned. There was nobody, the building was empty.

She went outside and checked the footprints. There were no recent footprints going out. All footprints were going towards the building.

"Arghhhhh!!! Where are you guys!!??" She screamed her lungs out.

Alliance House

It had been some time since a new leader had been chosen. Ryong Minjun was chosen as the leader because he was a direct descendant of the Ryong family.

Mathias Oliver remained in his place as the Legendary Class Ranker. No, he was actually quite busy.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Mathias Oliver knocked on the executive office three times.

"Come in!"

Then a calm and dignified voice came from the room.

Mathias Oliver hurriedly opened the door and rushed to his stepbrother.

"Brother! Brother! I found something, something that could be used to ruin this fuck*r!" He brought his smartwatch to Ryong Minjun.

"Calm down, brother! You are too excited!"

Under Ryong Minjun's words, Mathias calmed down. After that, he showed a piece of information.

Seeing the picture, Ryong Minjun's face lit up.

"Send me the details!"

Mathias nodded and sent Oliver the information. It was a photo of Xu Lingxun carrying Moira.

He looked at the picture and read the information Mathias Oliver had provided. Ryong Minjun looked up.

"Is this true?"

"Yes. I checked it myself, including the footage. Everything there is true!" Mathias Oliver confirmed with a nod and a solemn look.

"Interesting~ Interesting~ Interesting~" Ryong Minjun said three times, "What will happen if this photo appears on the forum? I really want to know!"

"We can't, brother. Let's use this information to get Father back instead!" Mathias Oliver immediately rejected his brother's idea.

"You're right, we can't post it on the forum. Ruining his reputation is just a waste of your efforts! Let's see... let's see..."

"The guy himself, his disciple, and the mutant! This information is worth three lives, we should exchange it for something of equal value!"

"Father, Hanzo Keiji and a secret technique, we can exchange this information for that! If he does not agree, then we can post it online!"

Ryong Minjun was not stupid enough to post such information on the forum.

"He will agree! Let me meet with him! I will bring them all back!" Mathias Oliver volunteered as soon as he got permission. This was his purpose for coming here.

"No! Let Park Haneul and Yuan Kang go this time!" Ryong Minjun objected.

"Huh? Why? They were unreliable!"

"Brother, calm down! Listen to me first!" Ryong Minjun shouted.

"I have my reasons for sending them instead of you! I want the great families to know what we have. If they know that the Chief Hero Instructor is harboring a mutant, those big families will help us force him to agree to our terms! They don't want a man to tarnish the Hero League, so they will use any means necessary to force him!"

Ryong Minjun grinned happily as he told his plan.
