Chapter 108: The Meeting Begins

There were just over a thousand heroes in Yinshuang City, with more than 99% of them being B-rank and C-rank heroes. There were eleven active A-rank heroes, including the newly promoted Lin Xinyan, Auntie Cai, and Alloy. There were five S-rank heroes, including Black Dragon, Blade, and Wind Feather.

Lin Xinyan and Auntie Cai sat together and also spotted Alloy, Hong Yao, and the brothers Xuan Xing and Xuan Yue. These were familiar faces, so interacting with them wasn’t a problem. As for the other A-rank heroes she knew of but hadn’t met, Lin Xinyan just exchanged brief greetings.

Wind Feather sat in front and occasionally turned around to wave at Lin Xinyan.

Seeing this, Auntie Cai reminded her to keep her distance from Wind Feather. Lin Xinyan knew a bit about him. Apart from his formidable strength, he was notorious for his carefree nature and love of flirting.

Black Dragon sat with his legs crossed and arms folded across his chest. Next to him was Blade.

Blade shared some similarities with Black Dragon but was generally more aloof, always carrying an air of superiority. He, too, sat with his arms crossed and legs crossed.

“Black Dragon, our last fight wasn’t finished. I’ve got some time now. Wanna continue later?” Blade said without looking at Black Dragon.

“Pointless fights don’t interest me. Maybe another time,” Black Dragon replied without glancing at Blade.

Blade smirked coldly, “Hah! You never change, always sticking to your principles.”

Five minutes later, the relevant personnel of the Yinshuang City Star Alliance branch appeared. Leading them was the branch head, a short man with square glasses.

As the most authoritative hero organization, the presence of the Star Alliance leaders brought a notable hush over the crowd. The only audible sound was the ongoing conversation between Black Dragon and Blade.

Their status among heroes was well-known, which made the branch head feel a bit awkward.

“Ahem! Could I ask our esteemed S-rank heroes to quiet down for a moment?”

This prompted a chuckle from the audience, though it was subdued and polite.

Black Dragon fell silent first, followed by Blade.

With that, the meeting officially began.

The branch head stepped up to the podium and brought up the collaborative findings from the Star Alliance branch and the Detection Center, showing the distribution of anomalous energy.

A high-density image appeared on the large electronic screen behind him.

Yinshuang City was vast, and the map showed anomalous energy present in almost every area, with varying levels of intensity.

Upon seeing this, the audience quickly reacted. Especially among the B-rank and C-rank heroes, murmurs of concern spread.

“So many? This is the first time we’ve seen anything like this in Yinshuang.”

“We have over nine hundred C-rank heroes, less than a hundred B-rank heroes, and only a handful of S-rank and A-rank heroes. Handling this won’t be easy.”

“What are you saying? Back during the major outbreak, it was way scarier than this. Even if it costs our lives, we can’t back down now.”

“Please, everyone, calm down and listen to me,” the branch head called for order. “Yinshuang City is facing unprecedented dangers since the major shift. I’ve reported the situation to the Star Alliance headquarters in Xiyu. If needed, they will dispatch heroes from the headquarters to assist. Remember, you are heroes, representatives of humanity. Take your roles seriously. Now, allow me to give a detailed report on the current situation.”
