Chapter 308: Challenger - Part 2
Challenger was a special application designed for heroes to solve problems between heroes.
When talking was no longer an option to resolve a conflict between heroes. They could issue a challenge through the app, hence the app was named Challenger.
The unique thing about the Challenger App was the fact that the challenger had to get the approval of the citizens and the heroes to challenge the person they wanted to challenge.
The citizens, who were ordinary people in this case, were given the right to approve or disapprove the challenge.
The challenger also had to list the reasons why he wanted to challenge the person. Heero read through it all and looked at his wife with a puzzled expression.
He had never heard of this challenger thing before, so he was puzzled when he read it.
Looking at her husband's expression, Kang Seo-Yeon had an "I knew it" expression. From her understanding of her husband, she knew that he did not know anything about the Challenger.
"Who is causing trouble right now?" Kang Myung-Chul frowned as he approached his granddaughter.
Bai Tian Ming followed Kang Myung-Chul as well.
"Ryan White. After getting a cold response from us, he seems to be making trouble!" Kang Seo-Yeon replied with a shrug.
If this was the time before she met Heero, she would take it seriously. He was the Emperor Class Hero - Rank 1.
But now, she did not even put the Emperor Class Hero - Rank 1 into her eyes. She completely trusted her husband.
"What is this all about? Can someone explain it to me?" Heero made a confused face. Why was Kang Myung-Chul taking this so seriously?
"The challenger is..." Bai Xin Yue explained Challenger to Heero.
After a simple and short explanation, Heero nodded his head in understanding.
"I see..." He paused for a moment as he came to the realization, "So, what should I do now? Is it asking me if I agree to the challenge or not?"
"No, it's not up to you, it's up to the people, the ordinary citizens, and the heroes to decide! If they find out that the battle is not fair, they can vote not to accept the challenge.
The challenged person also has the right to refuse, but you know, it's bad for your image if you refuse to fight," Bai Tian Ming was the one who answered Heero's question.
"Are you going to refuse the challenge? But this should be a pretty easy fight for you, right?" Kang Seo-Yeon found something unusual in Heero.
She had scrolled the challenger down. The citizens and heroes supported the challenge, over ninety percent of the people supported the challenge, which meant that she only had to wait for Heero's answer.
The usual Heero would casually decline the challenge if it did not concern him. But Heero's current status, would put him in a difficult position if he declined the challenge. She was quite worried about the repercussions if her husband refused.
The people around him had the same worries. The current Heero was the face of the Hero League.
If Heero refused, the people or even the Hero League in the other two major cities would look down on them with contempt.
"Hmmm, interesting~," Heero smiled and replied, "Call a conference with the media, I will give my answer at the conference."
"Look at this, dear," Bai Xin Yue approached Heero and showed her smartwatch. She also opened the Challenger app. There were two new challenges right below Ryan White's challenge.
These two new challenges belonged to Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi. With a broad grin, Bai Xin Yue opened Musashi Hirata's challenge. Heero skimmed through the declaration and let out a small laugh after reading the reasons for challenging Ryan White.
...
The reasons are as follows:
You are not a worthy opponent for my master, fight me, fool!
You are not a worthy opponent for my master, fight me, fool!
You are not a worthy opponent for my master, fight me, Dumbass!
...
Musashi Hirata gave the same three reasons. Funnily enough, the challenge received over eighty percent approval from both heroes and citizens.
Then, Heero read Sun Zhou Yi's challenge. He laughed out loud.
...
The reasons are listed below:
You want to challenge my master? Come fight me first, you bastard!
You want to challenge my master? Come fight me first, f*cker!
You want to challenge my master? Come fight me first, f*cker!
...
Surprisingly, he received even higher approval ratings, ninety-eight percent approval from citizens and ninety-six percent approval from heroes.
"It seems that Ryan White has successfully pissed off your students!" The old man also laughed when he read the challenge.
"Nah, I will handle it! There's something more important we have to do here, are you ready to learn my secret technique?" Heero looked at his father-in-law and grandfather-in-law.

In the middle of nowhere, in the dark night, Musashi Hirata looked at his glowing smartwatch. He stared at the statement he had just sent through the app.
Sweat was pouring down his face and his clothes were soaking wet. He was in the middle of his training break. During his break, he browsed the Star Forum and came across the challenge issued by Ryan White.
Just like Kang Myung-Chul said, he was angry and immediately issued a challenge.
*** ***
The same thing happened to Sun Zhou Yi. He was having dinner with his wife and Niadin. Somehow he managed to get Niadin out of his isolated room and was having dinner with him.
While eating his dinner, he received a text from Musashi Hirata telling him about the Challenger.
Bam!
Suddenly, he slammed the table after reading Ryan White's challenge. In the explanation of Ryan White's challenge, Ryan White tried to defame his master. That was the main reason why he got angry.
He immediately did the same as Musashi Hirata. He issued a challenge to Ryan White.
Before he reached his current self, Sun Zhou Yi had looked up to Ryan White as a hero he admired the most. But now, those feelings were gone and replaced by anger.
"What's wrong with you?" Niadin, who was enjoying his meal, asked with a frown on his forehead. He was a bit unhappy.
"I'm sorry, old man Niadin. It's just a f*cker who doesn't know his place and needs a lesson!"

Meanwhile, Ryan White ate his dinner with a big smile on his face.
Sitting in the window next to him, he gazed out at the Hero League headquarters. With a glass of wine in his right hand, he muttered, "This is what you get for looking down on me! I will beat you in public and humiliate you! Let's see if you still have the courage to challenge me!"
He was alone in his room when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Ryan White looked at the door as he wiped his mouth.
"Come in!"
The door opened and a man in a butler's outfit entered with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong, Uncle Rodin?" The butler, Rodin, had worked in the White household since he was a child. Ryan White thought of the butler as his uncle.
"It's bad news, Young Master Ryan! Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata have also issued a challenge against you!" Butler Rodin immediately reported the disturbing news.
"Musashi Hirata? Musashi Clan? But why? And who is this Sun Zhou Yi?" Ryan White had no idea about these two.
He did not bother to research Heero because he was confident that he could handle this.
"They are the newly promoted Emperor Class Heroes and also Xing... President of the Hero League's disciples!"
"Huhu... I challenged their master and now his disciples are attacking me?" Ryan White smiled and casually waved his hand at Butler Rodin.
"Don't worry, Uncle Rodin! I will take care of these clowns. They want a fight? Then I will give them one!"
Ryan White replied confidently.
"Do they think I have been wandering aimlessly these few years? Hah, I will show the world that Ryan White is not only Star City's strongest hero, but the world's strongest hero!"
He rose from his chair and approached the window. His eyes were fixed on the Hero League headquarters.
Xin Yue, oh Xin Yue, how could you be so stupid as to choose a random man to marry! I will help you correct your mistake. I will kill your husband in front of you. I will make you come to me willingly!
