Chapter 38: Secret Spices
After Kang Seo Yeon and her party were saved from the dungeon, the team retreated for a moment. The news of Kang Seo Yeon and her party survived quickly spreading out. Of course, this news only spread limited to Heroes' circle.
Hero League won't let the news such as the heroes trapped or lost in fight spread out. They had to keep the Hero League and Heroes' credibility high to the masses.
That was why the Hero League did not even ask Ranker Alliance to help them to rescue Kang Seo Yeon and her party. Instead, they wanted to suppress the news from spreading up.
Hero Camp
Kang Seo Yeon was facing five important figures inside a tent. Emperor Class - Rank 7, Musashi Naizen, Emperor Class - Rank 20, Huo Liang Xun, Gold Class - Rank 1, Bai Xin Yue, and two Executives of the Hero League who supervised the expedition, Park Yong Gi and Yang Wen.
Musashi Naizen had a look of indifference and gave off an overbearing aura around him. Huo Liang Xin had a fierce look and gave off a wild aura. Bai Xin Yue had the usual of a frosty look while the two executives were giving off an amiable aura around them.
Even though they were executives of the Hero League, they still showed great respect to Heroes.
These figures were gathered here for one reason. It was Kang Seo Yeon's claim, she said there was someone at the same level as Emperor Class who rescued her from the dungeon.
She claimed the person who rescued her was a Legend Class Ranker. Legend Class Ranker was equal to Emperor Class in the Hero League. But it was not a problem, the problem was how did that ranker sneak into the dungeon.
The Hero League had not announced yet about the existence of the dungeon to outside. It could be said, only the top brass of the Hero League and heroes knew regarding the discovery of the dungeon.
The Hero League wanted to investigate the dungeon first before announcing it to the world. Even though Ranker Alliance caught a glimpse of this dungeon, Hero League had prevented them from making a move.
"So you say, the person who saved you is a young man in his early twenties, good looking with long hair, his main weapon is a spear, and his special ability is lightning?"
Yang Wen frowned upon hearing the features of the man who saved Kang Seo Yeon. He had a tablet in his hand, in that tablet showed the Legend Class Ranker. Park Yong Gi and Bai Xin Yue also held the same tablet.
Ranker Alliance had 37 Legend Class Ranker. But amongst these 37 Legend Class, there was no one matched with the characteristic Kang Seo Yeon told them.
There was not even a Legend Class Ranker in his early twenties. If there was such a Legend Class, Ranker Alliance must have announced to the world to boost their reputation. But there was no news that Ranker Alliance had a new Legend Class.
"Are you sure? There's no Legend Class Ranker that matches the description you told us." Bai Xin Yue furrowed her phoenix-like eyebrow.
"Sister Xin Yue, I am telling the truth. I am not sure if he is a ranker or not. But I thought he was a ranker because he was especially looking for me. I thought my grandpa or my father requested the Ranker Alliance to save me. You can ask them…"
Kang Seo Yeon only found that the Hero League was still hiding the dungeon from the world. She knew this matter doesn't seem to be light, so she cooperated seriously with a thought, 'I hope my prince is not a villain…'
Park Yong Gi shook his head, "I have asked your grandfather and father. They said they did not send or make a request to save you."
Park Yong Gi rubbed his forehead in headache. He truly had a headache now. He thought with Kang Seo Yeon and her party being saved, it would reduce the problem.
However, instead of reducing the problem, another problem popped out which was caused him a headache.
An unknown existence that is equal to Emperor Class and Legend Class. If this existence was part of the Hero League or Ranker Alliance, they would not be this worried but he was an unknown person.
A good-looking young man in his early twenties with long hair. A young man's image popped out in Park Yong Gi's mind, this description somehow matched a person he knew. Moreover, this person was currently missing.
"There's no way, right?" Park Yong Gi muttered in a low voice.
"Executive Park?" Yang Wen called while the others also looked toward him when they heard what Park Yong Gi muttered.
"Wait a minute, I will make a call!" With that said, Park Yong Gi went out. He wanted to confirm his absurd thought.
"Heh, Interesting, if such a person really exists, I want to meet him." Musashi Naizen grinned.
"Hey, of course, he exists. You already retrieved the proof, right? He was the one who killed that incomplete winged lizard and nine Raging Ape, alone by himself."
When someone doubted her savior, Kang Seo Yeon immediately stood up and refuted Naizen. She was not afraid of the Emperor Class at all.
"Raging Ape? Did you name that gorilla?" Yang Wen caught something different. The beasts inside the dungeon were practically a new species to Hero League. There was no official name yet for them.
"No, the person who saved me called them Raging Ape. He also told me about their weakness. Raging Ape has explosive power and also fast movement, but… As long as you can read its attack and launch a fast counter, it would be easy to kill this Raging Ape as they have a slow response."
"Is it possible he is a native of the dungeon?" Yang Wen made a wild guess.
"If he is a native, then how could he know my name?" Kang Seo Yeon gave a quick refute which rendered Yang Wen would not be able to counter.
Yes, that man knew Kang Seo Yeon's name. Based on her story, he could conclude this man personally came to the dungeon to save Kang Seo Yeon.
...
Meanwhile, Star City, the outer region
Heero just arrived at Miao Miao Noodles Shop. After finding out the truth behind the dungeon, Heero wasted no time and immediately came back. Of course, he was back on the same train when he arrived.
Heero entered the shop, "I am back!"
It was 10 pm, there were no customers inside. Only Han Ying and Hong Yu were currently tidying up the table. It was time to close the shop.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Han Yin and Hong Yu turned around. Upon finding it was Heero, Hong Yu immediately dashed toward him.
Heero smiled and opened his arm. He hugged Hang Yi who buried her head on his chest. Receiving a hug from her lover after coming back from the trip, he was content.
"I miss you~"
Hong Yu's sweet voice resounded.
"I also miss you too~" Heero replied with a big smile. Then he had his head closer to Hong Yu's ear, "I want my reward."
Hearing this, Hong Yu's face reddened. She understood what rewards her boyfriend wanted.
She immediately broke free from Heero's embrace and had her hand pinched her nose, "You are stinky! Go wash! Go wash! I will help my sister first!"
With that said, Hong Yu back to help her sister.
Hang Ying was happy that her little sister had found the man she loved and had a happy relationship with him.
As for Heero, he was smiling brightly, he got the code. Hong Yu would give the reward after helping her sister tidy up the shop. Heero happily went upstairs to wash his body. He indeed did not take a bath in the last five days.
Heero took a bath and went to the rooftop. It would take a little time before the two sisters finish off their work. Heero wanted to celebrate his return with a barbecue of the winged lizard meat.
He still did not forget his grudge to that winged lizard for breaking his smartwatch. He would revenge by eating that damned lizard meat. Heero prepared the barbecue for a little celebration. Moreover, Hover Flame was famous for its tail meat. It was a rare delicacy in Morabaka City.
He took out the tail meat and a few kilos of Hover Flame meat from his storage space. Heero also took a sword and began cutting the meat into small pieces.
Afterward, he took three bamboo containers out. Inside these three bamboo containers, were hand-made spice by Heero.
Heero indeed could not make noodles as good as Han Ying, but he mastered the art of cooking from his fairy mother. The spices inside the three bamboo containers were special.
As everything in the dungeon was the same as Dramonia. Heero found these spices there and plucked them as he was looking for Kang Seo Yeon.
Now, he made special spices and a plan formulated in his mind.
Then, Heero sprinkled the spices onto the meat. After everything was prepared, Hong Yu arrived, alone. She did not come with her sister upon thinking the reward Heero demanded her. She came alone as her face blushed.
However, she was dumbfounded as she arrived at the rooftop. Heero, her boyfriend was preparing a barbecue instead.
"Oh, you've come. Here, I have prepared a rare delicacy for you." The smile became bigger upon spotting Hong Yu who was in her pink pajamas.
Heero tapped the bench beside him, telling her to sit beside him.
Hong Yu approached her boyfriend with a dubious look. "A rare delicacy? But I have my dinner already."
"Nah, just tastes it first. I believe you will ask more if you taste it once." Heero grinned with confidence. He believed his meat would conquer his girlfriend.
"What about your sister? She should have tasted this delicacy as well." Heero found only Hong Yu, so he asked her girlfriend. Usually, they would have a barbecue together.
"Really?" Still doubting her boyfriend, Hong Yu went downstairs to call her sister.
Five minutes later, the two sisters sat near the grill.
Sssshhhh!
The meat that grilled in front of them released a fragrance aroma. Hong Yu who was still doubting her boyfriend just now had her eyes glued at the meat on the grill.
She could not wait to swallow the meat.
"Now you can taste it now!"
Hong Yu's chopsticks moved in a flash and took the meat then put the meat into her mouth.
Hoo Haa Hoo Haa...
The meat was still hot, but Hong Yu kept chewing. As soon as the meat entered her mouth, she just could not stop chewing it.
Meanwhile, Han Ying also had a shock when the meat entered her mouth.
"This… This… This…" It's just too delicious that hard to describe it with words.
Heero let out a satisfied smile as he looked at the two sisters' expressions. Then, he took out three bamboo containers.
"Sister Ying, this is the secret spices I used on the meat. Sister Ying, I have a plan, how about if we use my secret spices in our noodles?"
The reason he began making these secret spices was to use them for the noodles shop. With the secret spices, he believed the Miao Miao Noodles Shop business would be booming.
...
Meanwhile, in another place, there was a man in black watching over the three as they had the barbecue.
"Yes, Executive Park. We have found Xing Heero. He is currently having a barbecue with the girls."
This man was currently having a call with the Executive of Hero League, Park Yong Gi.
Hearing this, Park Yong Gi let out a chuckle, "Heh, I have been thinking too much. There's no way that man is the person who has a strength equal to Emperor Class."
After saying those words, Park Yong Gi closed the call.
