"What took you sooooo longgggg!? I'm hungry!!!" As soon as Heero entered the noodle shop, Miao Miao's shrill voice entered his ears.
Sitting on the counter table that was usually used by customers, Miao Miao glared at Heero with eyes full of resentment.
Heero was bewildered upon hearing the little girl's words. He did not understand what was the relationship between her being hungry and him.
'She could just start to eat first without waiting for me, why would you love so much blaming me,' Heero retorted inwardly. He did not say it out just like the first day they met. After a few days of interaction with the little girl, he found out that arguing with the little girl was just wasting time.
If she was about to lose, she would hide behind her mommy. Sometimes, his wife would also support the little girl against him. All in all, since the little girl appeared in his life, his wives never took his side.
As for why he came back late, it was because he had to check the dungeon first. It took him some time to check the whole territory which was five times bigger than the first dungeon. As he predicted, there was a Specter Emperor and three Specter Kings resided in different places.
The good news was the Specter Emperor and the other three Specter King were in a dormant state. They seemed to be prolonging their lives by putting themselves in a dormant state. If he guessed right, these guys were waiting for someone or the right time to wake up.
If it was Heero in the past, he would without hesitation kill these, Specters. With his hate toward Specter, these specters could be an object to vent out his hate. However, he did not kill the specter.
He left them alive for his disciple. Heero left them alive to be training subjects for his disciple. He would use the second dungeon to get Sun Zhou Yi familiarized himself with the specter.
Not only for his disciple but the Hero League as well. Letting the Hero League know that there were other unique creatures aside from the mutated beast and zombies that they had to face. After all, he had retired and it was their job now to fight humanity's adversary.
As for how the Earth's heroes would kill Specter King or even Specter Emperor, it was not his problem. The Hero League had to think that by themselves.
But based on the fight between the Wyvern King against Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Naizen, the Hero League would be having a hard time against the specter. Even the Emperor Class Hero - Rank 7 was not the Wyvern King match, let alone the heroes with a lower rank.
As for the top six of the Emperor Class, he had not met them yet. Maybe they could kill the Wyvern King, he did not know. It was hard to compare the system between different worlds.
However, so far, he had not found a hero that could rival King Level Creature yet, whether it was from the beast race or specter. As for what the strongest creature the human on Earth had encountered, he did not know.
Such information was classified with only top brass from the Hero League that could access this information. It was what Musashi Hirata told him, so he had no way to know about it.
With his mind full of thoughts, Heero ignored the little girl who looked indignant as he climbed up to the second floor. But as he had yet to reach the stair, Hong Yu came out of the kitchen.
"Dear, where are you going? Have you had lunch? We are waiting for you to eat together~"
Heero stopped his steps and looked at his wife, "Even if I have my lunch, I will still eat together with you. Wait a moment, I am going to change my clothes."
A smile blossomed on Hong Yu's face, but the little girl seemed not to like her aunt and Heero had their sweet time as she harrumphed, "Geh. The love expert, Master Ai says that a man with a glib tongue is an unfaithful womanizer! Auntie, you have to be careful!"
However, Hong Yu only let out a giggle in response while Heero rolled his eyes at the Little Tigress. After that, he changed his clothes and went back to the kitchen.
As he entered the kitchen, he heard the Little Tigress was still talking about the love expert Master Ai.
"Auntie, I am being serious here. Master Ai has released many columns and many of his columns proved to be correct. He has almost ten million followers on the Web Forum. You should check the Master Ai's Forum and reconsider your choice of man!"
............
Hong Yu and Shen Miao were sitting next to each other. Before them, a square table filled with food, and Han Ying was sitting on the duo's opposite.
As his seat was taken by the Little Tigress, Heero sat next to Han Ying. He did not try to refute the Little Tigress' claim about the love expert Master Ai.
"Little Tigress, then you should convince your mommy to see that Master Ai's private forum as well. I am you Mommy's husband as well," As Heero said that, an evil smirk emerged on his face as he placed his hand on Han Ying's waist and pulled her closer to him.
He did that without considering Han Ying's reaction as he did that to prove the Little Tigress. Sure enough, seeing how intimate her Mommy and Heero were, Shen Miao was immediately provoked by Heero's action.
"You… Don't touch my Mommy!" Shen Miao immediately stood on her chair as she pointed at Heero with a fork in his hand. She seemed to be wanting to threaten Heero, but Shen Miao's action was cute in Heero's eyes.
"Release my Mommy or I will call my men to beat you!"
Heero wanted to say, "Call your men and let's see who will get beaten!", but before he could say it, Han Ying spoke first.
"Shen Miao! Put your fork down! Also, who taught you to do that? You have to respect him more, he is your stepfather!" Han Ying rebuked Shen Miao.
Even though Han Ying spoiled her daughter, she was strict with her daughter at the same time. If Shen Miao was wrong, she would scold her. Each time Shen Miao did something like this, she would always get rebuked by Han Ying.
Shen Miao seemed to want to say something, but looking at her mommy's expression, she closed her mouth. She lowered the fork and sat back on her seat.
As for Heero, a victorious smile emerged on his lips. He stuck his tongue at the Little Tigress with, "I won~" expression.
The Little Tigress gnashed her teeth, but she did not say anything more as she also realized she was lost this time. Instead, she directed her gaze toward the meatball smeared in tomato sauce.
She imagined the meatball to Heero's face, her hand moved. Shen Miao jabbed the meatball with her fork and brought the meatball into her mouth. She bit half of the meatball as she looked at Heero.
She wanted to appear to be brutal with an expression, "You will have the same fate as the meatball if you offend me!"
However, her action amused Heero, not only Heero, Han Ying, and Hong Yu were also amused by the Little Tigress. During lunch, Shen Miao did the same things a few times, before she was overwhelmed by the yummy food and slowly forgot her resentment.

Ence Fort, Medical House.....
Bai Xin Yue had gotten back to check Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Naizen's condition. She found the two were sleeping with only light injuries. The doctor did a double-check and told her the same.
Since then, she was waiting in this room. Her main purpose in coming to this room was to meet Sun Zhou Yi's Master. However, after three hours of waiting, the two masked men did not come back.
"Where do they go? Does he avoid me purposely?" Bai Xin Yue muttered in a low voice. It had been three hours, but they had not come back yet.
Creak!
The door opened, Bai Xin Yue immediately stood up. With a hopeful gaze, she looked at the door and she saw a figure. But to her disappointment, the one who came back was the masked man with a sword on his waist.
Bai Xin Yue tilted her head, but she did not find the other one. Her forehead puckered up and asked, "You… Alone?"
"Yes, My Master has returned to Star City!" Having said that, Musashi Hirata walked to the couch and sat.
"Leave them to me, you can leave now!" He added in an indifferent tone.
"Hunh…" Bai Xin Yue was left speechless by the master and disciple duo. They came and left as they pleased, both did not put the Hero League in their eyes at all. Of course, she did not say her displeasure out.
"Then…" She wanted to say something to Musashi Hirata but noticed how uncommunicative this man was. Bai Xin Yue canceled her intention.
"What?"
"No, nothing. Then I will take my leave. If you need anything here, you can talk to me," with that said, Bai Xin Yue left the room.
'Sun Zhou Yi is my hope, I have to get closer to him and asked him to introduce me to his Master.'

Xing District, Underground Dungeon....
Heero accompanied by Butcher Wang entered the dungeon. The supposed to be empty dungeon was filled with fourteen people.
This dungeon consists of twenty confinements. Three out of the twenty confinements were used to lock fourteen people. These fourteen people were part of Shadow Fang who escaped from two secret bases. Who came to the Xing District with impure intentions.
They wanted to bomb the district as retaliation, but Butcher Wang caught them before they could do that.
Heero came to the dungeon for these fourteen people. He wanted to interrogate them to know more about the Shadow Fang. He entered one confinement and found five people were tied and gagged with wet clothes.
Heero took out a small bottle filled with yellow liquid with a smirk. He has decided to drag the Shadow Fang out and finish them off.
