The Aftermath

Not only the heroes of the Hero League but also most of the people outside the homes or shelters saw the dragon.

The deafening roar and the majestic form of the dragon were imprinted in their memories.

Not only the humans but also the specters led by the other Shadow Fangs saw the dragon in the sky.

Feng Tian Shou and Feng Xinlun were also startled at the sight of the dragon. Both father and son looked at each other with their eyes wide open. The shock was not enough to describe their expressions.

"Let's go! Whatever that thing is, we better go now! Contact Shadow Fang #03 and Shadow Fang #05, we are retreating!" The Shadow Fang hurriedly ordered his subordinate.

The screech and the dragon gave him a bad premonition. He did not want to take the risk and decided to retreat.

Shadow Fang was a code name and Shadow Fang #03 was Su Yan's code name.

Feng Xinlun and Feng Tian Xou did not say anything and just nodded their heads. Actually, they came here to convince Shadow Fang to help them avenge their family members.

But after seeing the dragon, he threw those thoughts away. He also felt that something bad would happen to him if he stayed in the city any longer.

*** ***

Sun Zhou Yi looked worriedly to the north. Even though the dragon he saw was too far from here, it was not that far from the outer region.

He felt that the place where the dragon descended was close to the Outer Region. He was worried about his wife, his master, and the people who stayed in the Xing District.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. The restless feeling in his heart grew stronger.

"I will go back!" Sun Zhou Yi decided to go back. He wanted to see the situation with his own eyes and his words were directed at Musashi Hirata.

However, Musashi Hirata held his hand and said, "Fool! Master is here, what are you worrying about? It is our job to clean up the specters!"

If Sun Zhou Yi left, he would be left alone to face the specters. He was not that afraid of them, but it was time-consuming to face so many specters alone.

As for the heroes of the Hero League, they were of no help to him. It was not that he was not worried, but he trusted his master more.

If his master could not solve the problem in the north, then the Star City was surely finished.

"But..."

Brrr! Brrr!

Bearded Wang had replied to Musashi Hirata's message. This meant that nothing serious happened in the north, he was relieved as he pressed his smartwatch to read the reply.

He then showed the message to Sun Zhou Yi, "Look!"

Sun Zhou Yi read the message and then put a relieved look on his face. He nodded his head in understanding and thought to himself, "No wonder... If it's the master, it's possible...

Kang Seo-Yeon noticed that the two men exchanged some words and Hirata also showed something to Sun Zhou Yi.

Ah, maybe they have some information about the dragon! Heero and Uncle Wang are in the north...'

She went over and asked, "What's going on?"

Musashi Hirata pulled back his smartwatch, not wanting Kang Seo-Yeon to read the message.

He walked towards the Hero League headquarters, shaking his head, "Nothing!"

'Tsk, snobbish stud! Let's see how I'll clean you up when your master becomes my husband!' she thought to herself.

Ignored by Hirata, Kang Seo-Yeon turned to Sun Zhou Yi. She thought that the other was going to tell her something.

Sun Zhou Yi gave an embarrassed smile and shook his head. He could not tell Kang Seo-Yeon that the dragon was his master's work. It would surely cause an uproar among the heroes and he knew his master well. His master did not like to be the centre of attention.

With an apologetic look on his face, Sun Zhou Yi ran after Hirata.

"Wait for me Hirata!"

Bai Xian Ming noticed the two men and immediately called out, "Sun Zhou Yi! Musashi Hirata! Where are you going?"

"We will act separately! If you can't handle the situation, call us! We will come to help you!" Musashi Hirata replied without turning his head.

"What an arrogant bastard!"

"So what if he can kill those monsters? After all, he still needs our help!"

"Yes! Besides, we have Executive Bai and his granddaughter!"

The other heroes were displeased with Musashi Hirata's attitude. Not only did he not respect Executive Bai, but the way he spoke was also domineering.

The heroes did not like it. It was as if Musashi Hirata had no regard for them.

Bai Xin Yue sighed. She had met Musashi Hirata many times recently and she knew that it was not that Musashi Hirata was arrogant. The way he spoke was just like that, sounding arrogant when he was actually just speaking normally.

Musashi Hirata only showed his respect to his master and his master's wives.

But there was no time to explain. The situation in the core region was still critical.

She walked over to his grandfather and said in a hurried tone, "Grandpa! Send some gold-class heroes to check the situation in the north!"

"Move the remaining heroes to stabilise the core region. We must act quickly, an unknown horde is attacking the north and west of the city!"

At the urging of his granddaughter, Bai Xian Ming immediately divided the team into three groups. He, Musashi Kenzan and Bai Tian Ming would lead the group to subdue the specters.

After the team was formed, they immediately set out.

With the core region still in chaos, the danger in the north was resolved.

Heero, the one who had vanquished the horde, was in his battle hall. In front of him, his three disciples lined up.

"Why have you called us here?" Butcher Wang opened his mouth, complaining to Heero that this call was ruining his time with his daughter. He wanted to brag a little in front of his daughter after stopping the horde.

"Go to the west! Save everyone you can! Prioritise the children and the elderly!" Heero ordered in a flat tone.

Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun looked at each other. Their eyes shone with excitement when they received the order.They also wanted to try to fight the specters, but they had no chance.

Now they had a chance, so they were excited. Butcher Wang, on the other hand, did not look too happy.

"Why us? Why don't you go alone and kill the horde like before?"

"Hah... I can't! Look!" Heero showed them his smartwatch.

It was news that the Horde had entered the city from the west. A large scale technique would be the same as killing the people left behind and destroying the city.

The western horde seemed to be faster. They had already entered the city and were destroying every building they came across. The specters were also killing the people left behind. It was total chaos.

"Besides, I can't leave in such a situation. I am afraid that the Shadow Fang would attack the district because they have a grudge against me!" Heero added in a worried tone.

That was what worried him the most. He was afraid that the Shadow Fang would invade his district.

Leaving his family to Butcher Wang was not reassuring to him. The trauma of the past did not allow him to do that. He did not want the past to repeat itself.

Yet, deep down, he could not just let the old people and children be killed. He was no longer a hero, but his heart remained the same.

He wanted to save them, but at the same time he did not want to leave his family. So he gave this instruction to his disciple.

"I don't ask you to face the specters, just save the people you can save... Forget it!"

"If you don't want to go, then don't go! This is just my selfish request..." Heero sighed and shook his head.

He realised that Butcher Wang was not relieved to leave his family behind either. Everyone was the same and he realised that he was being a bit selfish.

"No! I will go!" Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun replied in unison.

"I'm not a hero yet, but I will be one later! It's my duty to save people!" Kang Dong-Woo said with great determination.

Heero looked at Xu Lingxun, but the boy was embarrassed to speak honestly under his master's gaze, "I will help Dong-Woo!"

Butcher Wang rolled his eyes at Heero when he heard these words.

"Good! Good! I will go as well! I will go too!"

Hearing Butcher Wang's answer, Heero's lips curled upwards.

'This move is effective against Bearded Wang...'
