Chapter 338: Start of The Eternal War - Part 1
Sun City of Sun Continent or it was known as America Continent before the catastrophe struck down.
The city was formed under the unity of guilds. An organization formed by the heroes. Ten strongest guilds formed a chain order called Central Government and the Hero League.
Rankers did not exist in Sun City as the guilds strictly managed their members. The power of the ten guilds also could not be resisted. They did not allow the third power to appear hence the Ranker Alliance did not exist in Sun City.
"So this is Sun City!" Heero came down from his private jet and looked at the luxurious airport, Sun Airport.
His wives followed after him. Kang Seo-Yeon, Bai Xin Yue, Han Ying, and Hong Yu came down as well. The kids also followed them, Moira, Lan Lan, Miao Miao, Myung Hee, Meng Meng, and Tong Tong.
Heero was coming to Sun City under Sun City's Hero League branch. But he decided to bring his family along for a reason, their safety. At this point, the specters must have recognized him as their enemy. They might send a suicide squad to kill his family if he left them hence he brought his family with him.
The people that sent to greet Heero were surprised to see the big group. They were told to greet the President of the Hero League of the Star City branch. However, they never expected such a big group.
"Welcome to Sun City, President Xing!" A male in his thirties wore a formal suit greeted Heero with a bow. Right after him, the five people behind him also followed.
"Mnn," Heero returned the greeting with a nod of his head.
"Let us help with the baggage," The male staff tried to help as he saw Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon dragging the baggage.
"We are okay!" Bai Xin Yue raised her hand to stop the male staff. She did not want to let the stranger bring her belongings. In short, she did not trust these people and the baggage was nothing to her.
"Ah" The male nodded in a surprised manner. But he was fast to get back to his composure, "Please follow me, I am the staff of the Hero League, Finlay. I am tasked to guide you to the lodging we have prepared exclusively for you,"
"Nah, it's okay. We have our people to take care of that. For now, we need privacy time, please don't disturb us until the day," This time it was Heero who spoke. He cast an apologetic smile out of formality.
Finlay was stunned for a moment. He was not expecting such a response from Heero.
'Does he think I am not good enough to welcome him? I am also a director of the Hero League!'
Finlay was screaming on the inside while smiling on the outside. He was misunderstanding Heero, thinking he was not worth to guide them.
"Okay, then we will leave now," Finlay bowed his head and turned around. He truly left Heero and his family.
'I hope all participants from Star City would be crushed by our participants! By that time, let's see if you can get cocky again, B*stard!'
On the way back, Finlay passed by a group of people. He recognized the three people in the front, Bai Tian Ming, Sun Zhou Yi, and Musashi Hirata.
Three out of six Emperor Class Heroes of Star City came to Sun City too. Finlay noticed the group was heading toward the direction where he came from.
"Why are they here?" He blurted out of surprise.
Finlay had read all lists and found no Emperor Class Heroes participated in the Fighter Anteriority. He was confused by all three Emperor Class Heroes.
'They are here not to participate, then they have a hidden agenda here! I have to report this to the executives!'
Finlay thought the Hero League of Star City branch planned something in the city. He felt he had to report this to the higher-ups.
Meanwhile, Heero was meeting with the group Finlay just passed. Sun Zhou Yi, Musashi Hirata, and Bai Tian Ming also just arrived at the Sun Airport. They rode separate jets.
"Uncle Wang has contacted me, should we go meet them?" Sun Zhou Yi asked his Master.
Indeed, the three came here for a hidden agenda. They came with a full force to Sun City.
"Yeah, you guys can go meet them!" Heero nodded.
"Then what about you, Master?" From Heero's words, he did not include himself with them.
"I am going to stroll around with my family, of course," Heero pointed at the kids behind with his thumb. He could not leave these kids without guards while strolling around the city.
Bai Tian Ming did not like Heero's tone. It was as if he came for vacation, "Can you be serious a little bit?"
"I'm serious, Father. This is called decoy so they will not be aware that we come for them. The moment my arrival become public, they would put an eye on me so I have to act like I am here to watch the Fighter Anteriority,"
Heero explained with a calm tone to soothe his father-in-law's hot temper.
"You use my granddaughters as a decoy? Are you out of mind?" Bai Tian Ming's vein popped as he questioned Heero. He was on the verge of exploding.
"Calm down, Father. You are scaring them! Smile~ smile~," Heero whispered in return.
The kids were looking at Bai Tian Ming with a little afraid expression. They seemed to be afraid of this Grandpa.
"Hahaha Of course, you guys can stroll around the city. I heard there are many delicious things in the city, why don't you go together," Bai Tian Ming's expression changed instantly. It was a kind of a gentle expression as he looked at the kids.
"Sun Zhou Yi! You bring these people with you and follow him! Guard my granddaughters!" Bai Tian Ming ordered Sun Zhou Yi.
Sun Zhou Yi gladly accepted the mission happily. It was his pleasure to protect his Master.
On the side, Heero could only shake his head helplessly. But he did not refuse the escort to assure his father-in-law.
"Good then, I and Hirata will meet Wang Ping Cai!" After taking care of this, Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Hirata left to meet Butcher Wang who arrived a few days earlier. Leaving Sun Zhou Yi and SES members.
Yes, the people who followed the three behind were the people chosen to be SES Members. Of course, the squad was still mixed with the people of Purple Mountain Tribe. But the new squad had more heroes as well.
The ex-Emperor Class Hero Elazaro Tania also part of the squad.
"Good then, let's depart. The kids could not wait to see the city!" Heero led the group to the outside.
Indeed, the children were excited to see Sun City. They had never been here before so they were excited to see what Sun City looked like.

Hero League HQ of Sun City
Finlay reported what he discovered to one executive. This one particular executive immediately called a meeting to discuss this issue.
A different system with the Hero League of Star City. All executives were the Guild Leader of the top ten guilds. So the people who attended the meeting were the Guild Leader of ten guilds that held the power in Sun City.
"You saw Sun Zhou Yi, Bai Tian Ming, and Musashi Hirata at the airport?" Bronson, Golden Guardian Guild Leader who was also Emperor Class Hero - Rank 10 questioned Finlay who was standing nervously.
"Y-yes I-I saw them at the airport and there was also a group of people following them as well," Finlay nodded his head a few times as he answered.
Bronson then looked at the smartwatch. The smartwatch showed a list of people who participated in the Fighter Anteriority. Indeed, he did not see those three names on the list.
"I-I have the airport footage as well," Finlay wanted to show the proof that he was not lying.
"Alright, we know! You can leave now!" Carson, Warriors Guild Leader who was also Emperor Class Hero - Rank 7 motioned Finlay to leave. The guy was not allowed to hear what they would discuss next.
"Y-yes," Finlay bowed his head and left the room.
"I asked my people to watch them. They are in the entertainment district of San Feliya! Xing Heero and his families are there. The group Finlay talked about also followed the group, but two people are missing!" Carson read the report he received from his people.
"Who?" Branson immediately asked.
"Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Hirata! My people lost the two at the airport!" Carson finished his report.
"This is truly weird," Luca Lane, Dawn Guild Leader who was also Emperor Class Hero - Rank 3 rubbed his chin, "They don't participate in the Fighter Anteriority but they also come. They surely have free time"
"Ah, isn't this red hair chick also the ex-Emperor Class Hero - Rank 11, Elazaro Tania? They surely come with a big force! This is truly suspicious!"
Luca pointed to a red-haired girl that followed Sun Zhou Yi closely. Carson showed footage as well. Since he kept looking at the rising star Sun Zhou Yi, he noticed Elazaro Tania as well.
At Luca's words, the other nine men also noticed Elazaro Tania on the screen. Elazaro Tania surely alarmed them.
"What do you think, Dominic?" Leon Kline asked the man called Dominic who stayed silent during the meeting.
Leon Kline, Crimson Legion Guild Leader, the no.2 Guild in the Sun City who was also Emperor Class Hero - Rank 2. His question was directed to the titled strongest hero in Sun City, Dominic.
The Emperor Class Hero - Rank 1 who was also the leader of the strongest guild, The Emperors, Dominic Raymond.
"Rather than speculating randomly, wouldn't it better if we ask President Xing in person? I heard he's not that unreasonable to speak with,"
