Chapter 299: Reform Or... - Part 1
The next morning, surprisingly another executive meeting was held again.
The meeting was scheduled at 9 am, but half an hour before the scheduled meeting everyone already arrived in the conference room which was unusual.
Even Kim Jung-Mun the Supreme Moon and Wu Shitian the Supreme Star also attended the meeting. All of them arrived half an hour early.
Wu Shitian and Kim Jung-Mun sat next to Bai Xian Ming as they did not have a fixed seat in this meeting room. Kim Sunghyon stood behind Kim Jung-Mun while Wu Shanxi stood behind Wu Shitian.
"What are you doing here, Sunghyon? Go back to your seat!" Kim Jung-Mun waved his hand at his youngest son.
"Yes!" Kim Sunghyon was someone in his mid-forties. Despite that, he took care of his body well and he looked like someone in his mid-thirties.
"Shanxi, you also go back to your seat!" With his eyes still closed, Wu Shitian commanded his nephew.
"Yes!" Wu Shanxi was an old man in his mid-fifties. He nodded his head respectfully and went back to his seat.
Thanks to the two Supreme Guardian's presence, the meeting room was void of voice. The Executives and the Hero Instructors kept their mouth shut in their presence.
"Hmmm, I wonder why he suddenly initiated the meeting? He even asked us to come" Kim Jung-Mun stroked his chin as he spoke. His words were directed to the two old men next to him of course.
"He" in his mouth was Heero. Yes, Heero was the one who initiated the meeting hence these people came earlier than usual.
Bai Xian Ming flinched slightly upon hearing that. He was quite nervous inside because of what happened yesterday.
'Why would he call these two old men as well? It's just a resignation, why does he do it grandly like this? Can you just resign quietly with a letter and save some face for me?' Old Ming was grumbling inside.
He thought the meeting was about the resignation from SES.
'Or maybe' Bai Xian Ming's eyes opened wide as he thought of something.
Just as his thoughts ran wild, a series of footsteps resounded. As the meeting room's door remained open, the people inside could hear the steps.
It was not just one person's steps, meaning more than one person came to the meeting room. Everyone in the room turned toward the door.
Sure enough, three people entered the meeting room. Heero and his two wives, Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue. As everyone knew, the two women were always assisting Heero in his work. It was a normal sight when Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue followed Heero. Kang Seo-Yeon was bringing a black briefcase within her right hand which was quite unusual.
Bai Xian Ming looked down at his smartwatch. The moment he looked at the time, it just ticked to 9:00 from 8:59. Heero arrived on time, as he had calculated all of this.
"Tch! He makes all of us wait for half an hour" The old man clicked his tongue and complained under his breath despite knowing the schedule was 9 am.
Kim Jung-Mun merely rolled his eyes at the old man's childish action while Wu Shitian remained unperturbed with his eyes closed.
Heero sat on his seat and scanned the people on the table. At the same time, the attendant at the entrance closed the door.
"I am not good with words so I will just be direct with my words. I initiated the meeting for two matters!" Heero's calm voice echoed through the meeting room.
"First, it is regarding SES! I heard all of you agreed to take SES under the league's full authority? Then, as stated in our agreement, I and the two Vice Chiefs will quit from SES! League will have full authority over SES and these are our official resignation letters!"
Heero took three envelopes out of his coat and placed it on the table. He pushed the three letters with his index finger.
Swoosh!
The three letters flew off and stopped in front of the Chief Executive, Bai Xian Ming. The old man's expression crumpled and his mouth twitched at the sight of three white envelopes.
He sighed and took the three envelopes with him. The old man looked up and saw his granddaughter made a sorry look at him.
'Hah As long as you are no longer angry with me, everything is fine!' Thought of Old Ming as he looked at his granddaughter.
Then he turned toward Heero, waiting for the second matter this young man wanted to talk about.
Not only him, everyone had their eyes on Heero. No one commented on the resignation as everyone already accepted it.
"Second, it's regarding my secret technique. I will share my secret technique, a technique to gather and control internal energy!"
Boom!
Everyone in the room had their minds shook at those words. So far, no force had such a technique, only the old monsters such as Kim Jung-Mun and Wu Shitian who knew how to control and utilize the internal energy. However, such a thing could not be taught, yet now Heero claimed he had a technique to control the internal energy.
'I have to get that technique!' Everyone had the same thoughts as they exchanged a look. Only Kim Jung-Mun, Bai Xian Ming, and Wu Shitian remained calm. It was as if they already knew about this.
Even though they faced such a big temptation, no one spoke. They were waiting for Heero to continue.
'There's something he wants from us!'
If not why would Heero share the secret technique now? He could share it the moment he joined the Hero League but he did not. Meaning there was something he wanted in exchange for the secret technique.
"But I have a condition for that!"
Sure enough, Heero wanted something from them.
Kang Seo-Yeon stepped forward and brought the briefcase onto the table. She put the briefcase in front of Heero.
Heero opened the briefcase, he took out a stack of paper. He sent the proposal to everyone on the table with a little push of his index finger. The proposal stopped right in front of everyone.
"That's my condition! If you agree with my proposal, then I will share my secret technique! I give you twenty minutes to read my proposal!"
Wu Shitian opened his eyes at Heero's words. He looked toward the table. The proposal was quite thin for a proposal.
However, he was intrigued, wondering what this young man wanted from the Hero League. For someone like Heero who had everything, he was quite curious about what he demanded.
Bai Xian Ming was the first one to grab the proposal as fast as possible. The other Executives and Hero Instructors took the proposal.
As the Executives were reading through the proposal, the meeting room fell into a deep silence.
Interestingly enough, Kim Jung-Mun was the only one who did not have the proposal in his hand. He was looking at Heero who calmly leaned back on his chair. Their eyes met, Heero smiled and nodded as a form of greeting to the elder.
Bam!
"What's the meaning of this, Chief Instructor!?" Hanzo Sojuro slammed the proposal hard to the table as he questioned Heero.
From his look, Hanzo Sojuro was furious as his eyes almost turned red from anger. Everyone turned toward Heero while Bai Xian Ming and Wu Shitian were busy reading the proposal. The two did not pay attention to the commotion.
Heero remained composed under the gaze of these executives.
"You can't read? I will read it for you then, " Heero took the remaining proposal in his hand.
"You!" Hanzo Sojuro pointed his finger to Heero as veins popped on his side face, "Outrageous! This is absurd, there's no way I will agree to such a nonsense proposal!"
Once again, Hanzo Sojuro slammed the crumpled proposal in his hand onto the table to show how furious he was.
Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue frowned at the sight of this. They showed how displeased they were at what the old man did to the proposal and pointed his finger toward their husband.
Heero's hand stopped midway as he was about to open the proposal. He truly wanted to read aloud but stopped at Hanzo Sojuro's exaggerated action.
He put back the proposal and looked at Hanzo Sojuro, "If you do not agree, hmmm It's okay, what about the others?"
Heero looked at the other executives and the Hero Instructors.
Kang Myung-Chul was still reading the proposal in his hand while the other Executives looked at each other.
The proposal was basically a complete reform of the Hero League. All heroes would be re-evaluated again whether they deserve their Class and Rank or not. A new system also would be implemented in this reform; a mission and hunting the dangerous beast still gave the heroes contribution to raising their rank, however, a hero had to pass a test given by the Hero League for class promotion.
The new system in the proposal without a doubt was a good system for the Hero League. However, the new system would also touch the big forces' interest.
"Please calm down, Executive Hanzo! We can talk it out peacefully and negotiate the condition. Am I right, Chief Instructor Xing?" Moushe Eghian signaled the old man to back and as he smiled amiably to the old man.
'That's right, the condition still can be negotiated, but we, no, I can't miss such a technique!' Moushe Eghian thought to himself.
Heero shook his head and replied calmly, "Please read the last page, "
At Heero's words, the executives subconsciously opened the proposal directly to the last page. There was a word printed on the last page, bold and big font.
[Non-negotiable]
