Kapitel 264: Desperate Move
Recently, the Star Forum was in a state of high tension, a war between HandsomeBrutalSavage and the Ranker Alliance.
As everyone knew, HandsomeBrutalSavage was Heero's forum account, or the newly appointed Chief Instructor of the Hero League.
The Ranker Alliance openly accused Heero of harboring a mutant. Coupled with Xu Lingxun's picture of him carrying someone under his coat, the Ranker Alliance posted the accusation on the forums.
Naturally, the result was disastrous. Almost no one believed the post, and instead, the Ranker Alliance was burned by the masses.
As everyone knew, the newly appointed Chief Instructor had recently gone after the Rankers and their crimes. Over twenty Rankers, from Beginner Ranker to the most recent case, Silver Ranker of Iron Fist Martial House.
Under the newly appointed Chief Instructor, the Rankers received their deserved punishment, ranging from death sentences to prison terms.
HandsomeBrutalSavage was everyone's favorite. So when the accusatory post appeared on the forum, the result was disastrous.
Even the influencers on the forum were afraid to take the money from the Ranker Alliance to escalate the issue. But there was one problem.
Even though so many people supported Heero, the guy in question never responded to the accusations. Heero remained silent on the matter.
Reading the forum, Bai Xian Ming furrowed his brows. He looked dissatisfied as the issue continued to escalate due to Heero's lack of response.
The Ranker Alliance took the opportunity to say that Heero felt guilty and that was why he did not respond to the accusations.
"Where is he? Is he that busy? Can he spare his time to respond to this!" Bai Xian Ming complained in a low voice as he closed the Star Forum.
He asked his granddaughter, who was enjoying her fish soup.
But Bai Xin Yue was busy eating her fish soup, so she ignored her grandfather. Even though it was just cabbage and fried fish in a bowl of broth. She tasted it happily.
"What's so good about this cabbage soup?" The old man grumbled as he looked at his bowl.
A bowl full of floating cabbage on muddy broth and a piece of fried fish.
With a thought of suspicion, he scooped up half a spoonful of broth.
Slurp!
The moment the muddy liquid touched his tongue, a rich yet complex flavor flooded his mouth. He could not say what made it so delicious, but it was surprisingly tasty.
This time, he shoveled a spoonful of broth into his mouth. He really could not tell, but the more he tasted it, the more he wanted more. The soup was addictive.
"Stop! The owner must be black-hearted, how can he put a drug in his food!" The old man slammed his spoon down on the table.
"Drug? What are you talking about?" Bai Xin Yue asked as she swallowed the cabbage in her mouth.
*giggle*
"The food here has passed the test and is safe to eat! Besides, the secret recipe behind the soup is..."
"Ah, I can't tell you, insider secret. He told me not to share the recipe, not even with my family," she grabbed the spoon and finished the bowl.
"The food is safe. Don't worry about it and just enjoy this heavenly fish soup!"
Just as he was about to force his granddaughter to reveal the secret, there was a knock at the door.
Dok! Dok!Dok!
"Come in!" The old man felt strange. If it was Heero, he would not bother to knock and just walk right in. He had a bad premonition about this.
The door opened and three people entered the room. Musashi Hirata and two guests, the head guard of the best hunting team of the Purple Mountain tribe, Lyera, and an elder of the Purple Mountain tribe, Sharikh.
Lyera wore her purple leather armor and a wooden mask decorated with purple leaves. As for Sharikh, he wore a gray robe and had a somehow gentle look.
"Welcome, Captain Lyera and Elder Sharikh," Bai Xian Ming stood up and greeted the guests. Bai Xin Yue also stopped... No, she had actually cleaned her bowl.
"Hmmm... If I may ask, where's Chief Dazekh?Is he busy?"
Elder Sharikh rubbed his thumb and replied hesitantly, "He's currently testing Earth's advanced technology... Yes, that's right, he was amazed by Earth's technology."
"I see..." The old man nodded his head, and somehow he felt something fishy.
Bai Xian Ming put these thoughts aside and brought Elder Sharikh to the table. As soon as they sat down, Elder Sharikh handed him a scroll made of the leather beast.
"Chief Bai, this is the list of the Ghost's price. I have discussed the power of the specters with Sa... Heero and I have come up with a new power level for the specters. The price is based on the new measurement, if you agree with the price, then we have a deal!"
Elder Sharikh skipped the small talk and went straight to the reason for their meeting, the deal.
Bai Xian Ming nodded and opened the scroll.

Meanwhile, the Ranker Alliance was very busy at the moment.
So many things had happened in the past two days. From the forum issue to the Ranker Alliance being targeted by the Chief Instructor.
There were many potential Rankers who withdrew their applications to join because of this issue.
Bam!
Ryong Minjun slammed the table in anger. He was angry, extremely angry.
He had been the leader of the Ranker Alliance for less than a month. But since he replaced his father, everything had gone south.
He failed to get the new secret technique, and some upstarts dared to ignore the authority of the Ranker Alliance. Not only that, that person even threatened them by exposing the crime.
He tried to turn the situation around by exposing his "illegal deeds," but the result was disastrous one believed the Ranker Alliance.
He tried to report the case to the central government. But his report was rejected for lack of evidence. He tried to use the connection of the Ryong family, but no one dared to intervene in the case.
It was as if the Ranker Alliance was being isolated. And it happened because of one person, one person.
He was angry, but he had no way to vent his anger.
"Who told you to post this on the forums? Are you crazy? Did you even know about our situation? Now, thanks to your rash decision, many of the candidates have turned down the offer!" Park Haneul pointed his finger at the leader.
He showed no respect for the new leader in front of the others.
This made the new leader even more angry. Ryong Minjun knew that it was his mistake if he fought with Park Haneul, he might lose the support of the others.
He controlled... No, he suppressed his anger and thought to himself,
Revenge is a dish best served cold! Just you wait, Park Haneul! I will make you pay for every humiliation ten... no, a hundred times over!
Revenge... revenge...'
Ryong Minjun's face lit up as he had a brilliant idea.
"I actually have a good idea!" He expressed his thoughts.
"The Hanzo Clan, we can use them to fight that b*stard! Whether the Hanzo Clan wins or that person wins, either way, we are the ones who will benefit!"
Not only his father, but also Hanzo Keiji was involved. They could use the Hanzo clan to confront Heero by telling the clan about their missing elder.
