Chapter 339: Start of The Eternal War - Part 2
In a big mansion at the high-end residence, that was where Heero and his family stayed. It was actually a secret base for SES and they used it temporarily.
Hong Yu knocked on the door on the second floor a few times. She had a concerned look as he stared at the first floor.
Not long after that, the door opened, and Heero came out with a yawn as he stretched his body up. He was wearing pajamas, an indication he was about to sleep.
"What's wrong?" Heero asked as he noticed something off with his wife.
"How about the kids?" Hong Yu tried to peek into the room.
Yes, Heero was accompanying the kids sleeping. Seven kids just slept and it was an exhausting job to do.
"They are sleeping, did something happen?"
"No, but three guests downstairs, they are coming for you. They are the executive of the Hero League Sun City branch," Hong Yu whispered cautiously to Heero's ears.
This was the thing that confused Heero. If they were executives of the Hero League, why did Hong Yu look so concerned?
"Oh, okay. I will come down,"
"Mnn, I will stay with the kids," Hong Yu was unwilling to accompany him to meet the guests which were unusual for her.
With a little curiosity, Heero went down the living room. Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue accompanied the guests. They were sitting there and Heero recognized the three guests.
He had done some homework so he recognized them. Three Guild Leaders of the Top 3 Guild in Sun City.
From the left was Luca Lane, Emperor Class Hero - Rank 3. He was also Dawn's guild leader. Dawn was the rank 3 guild in Sun City. It could be said Dawn was the third strongest guild.
Luca Lane was a man in his late thirties. He had short hair and a rough face. A burn scar on his forehead was the easiest way to recognize Luca Lane.
The one in the middle was Dominic, Emperor Class Hero - Rank 1. He was the guild leader of The Emperors guild, the number one guild in Sun City. A guild with the most Emperor Class Heroes.
Dominic looked younger than Lucan. He had long blonde hair and had a bang that covered his forehead. He had a good look and a mysterious aura around him.

The man on the right was Leon Kline, Emperor Class Hero - Rank 2. He was Crimson Legion's guild leader, the number two guild in Sun City, second to The Emperors.
Compared to the other two he was older, a man in his mid-forties with a neat haircut. His gray hair also showed a sign that he was no longer young. Wearing a black suit, he looked solemn all the time, giving off a vibe of someone that did not like to joke around.
When the three noticed Heero's presence, they wanted to stand up to greet him. However, Heero motioned them to stay still as he sat on their opposite.
"Please drop the formality, we are outside of work, right?" Heero smiled as sat in the middle of his wives.
Only Luca Lane smiled back at Heero. The other two were still having solemn looks plastered on their faces.
"Great minds think alike! Yeah, let's drop the formality and get straight to the topic," Luca replied to Heero with a grin. Even though he spoke to Heero, his eyes never left Kang Seo-Yeon.
"You are right, but if you keep staring at my wife like that, I am going to dig your eyes out, Mr. Luca!" Heero's smile became wider as he looked toward Luca.
He finally understood why Hong Yu did not want to go down with him. There was a pervert here.
"Kuhuhu Chill, President Xing~," Luca's grin became wider as well in return. He was not afraid of Heero warning, at all.
"Even if you want to dig my eyes out, you don't have the capability to do that! You have to be careful with your words or you will embarrass yourself, Presiden Xing!"
Heero straightened his back and was about to make a move. However, Dominic and Leon noticed his movement.
"We are here to talk, not fight President Xing! I apologize for my friend's rude behavior!" Leon Kline stood up and bowed slightly toward Heero.
Meanwhile, Dominic glanced at Luca with his cold gaze, "Do you remember your promise? If you don't want to listen then f*ck off!"
Heero was surprised to see this kind of reaction. He thought the three were coming to create some trouble or sort of, but he seemed to be wrong with his assumption.
"Alright! Alright! I will close my eyes," Luca raised his hands, indicating he gave up. However, he winked his right eye at Kang Seo-Yeon before he truly closed his eyes.
"Hehe" Kang Seo-Yeon responded with a mysterious chuckle for some reason.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Heero turned toward Dominic. The youngest guy seemed the one who was leading the group.
"We are here to inquire about the Hero League Star City branch's intention for bringing a huge force to our city? Can you tell us why?" Dominic placed a folder on the table then he pushed the folder toward Heero.
Bai Xin Yue caught the folder and opened it up for Heero. Inside was a picture of the SES Squad that arrived at Sun Airport. Not only a picture, but it was also a complete profile of all SES members as well.
Heero closed the folder and put it back on the table. He was still having a polite smile plastered on his face.
"Do you want to know the reason? But I am afraid there"
Before Heero could finish his words, Dominic cut him off in a firm tone, "Yes, we want to know the reason, an honest answer! I hope you don't do anything funny because of our past matter!"
"It's because I am worried about the specters. They may launch an attack this year's Fighter Anteriority so I bring them with me," Heero nodded his head and told them the reason.
"Are you doubting our capability, President Xing?" Leon questioned Heero in a deep tone. The old man seemed to be offended by his words.
"Just in case, you know! At least, I have brought enough people to protect my people in case the specters attacked. I just want to assure their safety, that's all," Heero replied calmly.
Luca opened his eyes and looked straight to Heero, "We have called back 67 Emperor Class Heroes, do you think it's not enough to defend against those weaklings that hide in the dark?"
Heero however ignored Luca. He did not reply to Luca or even gave a glance at Luca. He took Luca as an air.
"You!" Luca was about to point his index finger at Heero but Dominic's voice rang timely.
"Luca! Behave yourself!" After reminding Luca, Dominic looked back at Heero, "That's it?"
"Yes, that's it. I am just taking precautions against the specter," Heero nodded his head to affirm his words.
Dominic and Leon squinted their eyes at Heero for quite a while.
However, Luca did not give up, "You brought a big force then left your city unguarded? Does that make sense, President Xing?"
"That makes sense, I have a reliable force that will protect Star City from the harm of the specter. You don't need to worry about that, I am not that stupid!" Heero grinned.
'I have a dragon guarding the city. It's more than enough to defend the city,'
"Okay then. We just want to talk about that. We are sorry for disturbing your night, President Xing. I wish you have a nice stay with your family," Dominic stood up and nodded his head toward Heero.
"I hope so," Heero nodded and threw the folder back to Dominic, "Don't forget your stuff. You can check the folder again, just in case something is missing,"
Dominic furrowed his brows at Heero's words. After a moment, he nodded his head and brought the folder with him. The three left the mansion.
"Hah Look how cocky he was, it annoyed me! I want to at least punch him once in the face!" As soon they came out of the mansion, Luca burst out.
"It was you who acted rude first, do you still wish he would treat you politely after that?" Leon cast an annoyed gaze at Lucan.
"What do you think, Dominic? Do you think he was telling the truth?" Leon Kline asked.
"I don't know, that man was hard to read. We can only send our people to watch them for now," Dominic shook his head as he looked down at the folder in his hand.
"Alright then, let's talk again tomorrow!" Leon let out a sigh before he walked toward the black car that parked in front of the fence.
Luca also followed while grumbling, "If there's a chance I will truly punch him in the face!"
Dominic merely shook his head at Luca's childish behavior. He walked out of the mansion gate and headed toward his car.
Just as he was about to open the door, he remembered Heero's words before they parted for some reason.
[Don't forget your stuff. You can check the folder again, just in case something is missing]
Dominic could not help but look at the folder in his hand again. He did not why but there was an urge telling him to check the folder again.
He opened the folder and checked all papers inside. There was no paper missing but there was an additional blank paper with a few words on it. He was surprised to see the last paper and could not help but look back toward the mansion.
Right at the window on the second floor, he saw a shadow waving his hand toward. There was no doubt about it, the shadow was Heero.
Dominic looked back at the folder again. After some time, he checked the surroundings. Leon and Luca had left with their cars.
Dominic turned around and waved his hand back at Heero. After that, he entered his car with a slight smile on his face.
*** ***
Three days passed quite fast, the Fighter Anteriority was about to start. The most awaiting tournament, the clash between heroes. The people could only watch this in the Fighter Anteriority.
The opening ceremony would start at 10 a.m. and continue with the main tournament. Yes, the sequence of the Fighter Anteriority was changed after the last incident. The main tournament would be first, then the Junior Tournament, and the last was Free Fighter one.
Inside a VIP Box, Heero was sitting together with The Emperors Guild Leader, Dominic. Heero was alone, his wives were around.
"Hah, even though we change the sequence of the event, it does not change anything" Dominic let out a sigh as he shook his head.
"But we can at least save more people with this!" Heero consoled Dominic.
The opening ceremony was about to come to an end. Leon was giving a speech about heroism. But little the people did know that the man on the stage had joined the specter side.
"Let's start the festival!" As soon as Leon closed his speech, a barrier formed up. A blackish barrier that covered the whole city in that instant and darkened the city. The specter had started their attack.
