Chapter 352: Vengeance - Part 7
Sun Zhou Yi, Musashi Hirata, Bai Xin Yue, Kang Seo-Yeon, Butcher Wang, and Dominic watched Heero as he did something they did not understand to the limbless old man.
Heero was reading the old man's memories to find the last token. He could not help but furrow his brows as the old man's memories were bared in front of him.
He was just shocked by what the old man did in the past. The old man was so cruel, not only to the people around him but to himself as well.
After a good five minutes, Heero released his hand off the old man's head. He let out a sigh and fell silent for a moment. Then he turned back to Sun Zhou Yi and asked, "Where the scythe?"
"Oh, the scythe!?" Sun Zhou Yi certainly knew what his Master asked for. A spatial sphere formed next to him and he took the scythe.
"I know this is a decent scythe so I took it with me," He then tossed the scythe to Heero.
Heero caught the scythe, he scanned it with his Mystical Eyes.
"Only this old man used his token well!" After saying that, he pulled out something from below the blade.
As soon as he took the token out of the scythe, it immediately lost its luster. The shiny jet black blade turned rusty in a split second. In the next moment, the scythe turned back into a wooden staff.
Heero tossed the wooden staff randomly. It had lost its value after he took the token out.
He took a deep breath. Then he looked down at three similar tokens in his hand. From the information, he got from Bane's head. He could use this thing to summon God Horas. Or used the token to track God Horas's location. Either way, Heero's revenge was near.
For some reason, he could not calm his breathing. His breath became slightly hurried as he remembered the past incident.
Sun Zhou Yi became a little worried when he noticed his Master was getting emotional. He knew that His Master participated in the battle against these Specters for personal reasons.
"What should we do now, Master?" Sun Zhou Yi called out.
"Oh," Sun Zhou Yi's voice interrupted his thoughts. He turned around and noticed everyone was looking at him, looking concerned.
He then met with Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon's gaze. The moment he saw their concerned looks, Heero's heart wavered a little.
"Ah, you can help the others to clean the aftermath! We may have killed the leader but we can't let their minions slip out!" Heero instructed his three disciples.
Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi nodded as they immediately moved out. Butcher Wang however walked toward Heero.
"You know, we are the people you can trust and rely on. So, if you need some help…" Butcher Wang paused as he realized something off with his words.
'Does Heero really need his help?' Butcher Wang questioned himself.
"Nevermind, if you need something or need us to assist in something, just call me or us out! I will assist with all my efforts!"
Hearing that, Heero smiled immediately and replied in a low voice, "Said someone who only interested in learning footsteps,"
Butcher Wang's face reddened instantly. After witnessing Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue's power, he realized he was much weaker in the term of power.
Of course, if they fought they also did not necessarily win against him. Because he had the power to run from them.
"At least, I can help you to confuse the Big Boss with my weird movement so you can sneak attack him!"
After saying that, Butcher Wang immediately vanished. He ran away as faster as possible, he was embarrassed to stay longer. Leaving four people in the arena.
Dominic noticed the weird atmosphere around. Even though no one told him to leave, he knew that he had to leave. But he just did not know what to say.
'Should I leave silently? There's no way they don't notice my sloppy movement…'
While Dominic was in dilemma, Butcher Wang appeared next to him with an awkward laugh.
"Haha, I forgot my package!"
"Huh!?" While Dominic tried to understand what the package meant. He suddenly felt a strong grip around his waist.
He wa shocked and looked toward Butcher Wang in shock. Dominic realized the package in Brawny Man's mouth was him.
Nevertheless, Dominic did not try to break free. Even though this was lame for him to leave the arena, but was the best option he had now. He surrendered himself to be brought by the Brawny Man.
Just like that, the arena was left to three people. Kang Seo-Yeon, Bai Xin Yue, and Heero.
"What's wrong? You can now revenge your friend! Why do you look so worried?" Kang Seo-Yeon asked with a sweet smile on her face.
Heero did not hide the story behind his participation in a war against the specter. He told them everything, there was nothing to hide hence Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon their husband's backstory.
"Yeah, go for it! You don't need to worry about us," Bai Xin Yue followed up.
"If it was before, I would not hesitate…" Heero muttered as he raised his head to meet his wives' gaze.
"But now I have you two! I have Hong Yu and Han Ying! I have three daughters, and one is still in the belly! I am afraid!" He confessed his feelings now.
Before, he was so excited that he was able to meet God Horas again. The dimmed vengeance was burning fiercely. Now, the vengeance was near to him, he only needed to crush the three tokens. But the fire of vengeance now wavered.
He did not have anyone before, but now he has a big family. Fear and concern slowly consumed his desire for revenge. He twice lost his loved one so he did not want to lose them again.
"But you have to do it or you will be haunted by your guilt!" Kang Seo-Yeon shook her head. She could see the guilt in her husband when be told the story about Morabaka City.
"Yeah. Without killing this fake god, my husband would be incomplete! Moreover, I don't believe this fake god could defeat my husband," Bai Xin Yue showed her support as well.
Heero then looked back to three tokens in his hand.

Meanwhile, the Star Forum was in a frenzy with the news of the specters attacking the Sun City.
The happy event turned into a battlefield once again.
Almost all media covered the disaster that struck Sun City. The media tried to get a shoot on the city, unfortunately, the people they sent to cover the Fighter Anteriority were sent to the underground city forcefully.
While the media was oblivious to the situation, the Hero League of Star City made a move. The Hero League broadcasted Sun City's condition, giving the people live update on what happened at Sun City.
Of course, this was SES Intelligent Team's handiwork under Heero's consent. The broadcast was highlighting how the Specter Extermination Squad killing the specters. The intention was showing the result of the transformation the people talked about.
Through the exclusive satellite given to the intelligent team, Luo Wei Chun broadcasted the whole war.
However, rather than a war, it was more like extermination. Yes, while the people watched the broadcast, they also cheered for the heroes. They were the heroes of the Hero League of Star City Branch, after all.
Luo Wei Chun also watched the broadcast from his office. Looking at the viewer, he smiled broadly.
47,452,916 viewers
Almost half of Star City's citizens watched the broadcast, meaning these forty million viewers witnessed the result of the transformation. It kept increased as they broadcasted the live war.
It was very satisfying to silent the media who always criticized the Hero League and Heero.
Luo Wei Chun leaned back on his comfortable chair as he put his feet on the table. He was having a relaxing day as he also enjoying the broadcast.
Killing the specters, humanity's enemy, giving him satisfaction in each kill even though he just watched it through the screen.
However, his relaxing time was interrupted as someone stormed into his room. It was his subordinate who controlled the satellite.
"Captain Luo! Captain Luo!" The guy kept calling his name.
"What's wrong?" Luo Wei Chun furrowed his brows as he put down his feet off the table.
"Calm down! Xiao Wei!"
The guy called Xiao Wei however did not calm down even though Luo Wei Chun called him up.
Xiao Wei rushed toward Luo Wei Chun and pulled him to the window. When they arrived at the window, Xiao Wei pointed his finger toward the south of Star City.
Luo Wei Chun slowly followed Xiao Wei's finger to the north. His pupils shook at the sight. He subconsciously retroceded a few steps as he could not believe what he saw.
To the south of Star City, a huge, giant, gargantuan castle appeared. The shadow of the caste hovered half of Star City. On top of that, the castle was shrouded in some kind of black miasma.
It gave a spooky feeling to the people who looked at it.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
Luo Wei Chun's heartbeat accelerated and started getting nervous.
"We have to call President Xing! We have to inform President Xing!"
That was what came into his mind with the castle's appearance.

Meanwhile, Heero was still in the arena of the Sun Dome. With three tokens in his hand, but the three tokens had been crushed in pieces by him.
In the end, Heero decided to face his demon.
