Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

The next morning, Star Forum was in an uproar because of the Hero League's post. One of the biggest forces in Star City, Feng Family created a monster army called a specter. The Hero League explained that this specter had the same outer appearance as humans and warned the citizens to be careful.

Currently, the Feng Family went missing and wanted. Each of the Feng Family members had a bounty put on their heads, including Feng Xin Lun the former Emperor Class Hero, and the current Emperor Class Hero - Rank 15, Feng Tian Xou.

Together, The Central Government and the Hero League would be doing a strict patrol and examine if there was a monster blending together with the citizens. Causing a wave of panic amongst the citizens.

Even though there was no hero with Mystical eyes in the Hero League, the specter had a special trait. They did not have blood and they were having a low body temperature.

And so, Star City was in an uproar as fear spread amongst the people. After all, they never knew that if the monster called specter living amongst them.

As Star City was in tumult, the Feng Family, the culprit behind the commotion managed to escape to an establishment in the east. A medium establishment for Hero and Rankers that went out for a mission outside the city.

In a motel room, Feng Xinlun, the one who decided to evacuate from the city, was having his morning tea. Next to him were his sons, Feng Ban Xou and Feng Tian Xou.

Feng Xinlun took a sip of the tea and he noticed a frown on his son.

"Damn! We are wanted now! They put a bounty on our heads!" Feng Ban Xou exclaimed in anger. In just one night, the Feng Family everyone looked up fell to the lowest. However, deep inside, he felt fortunate.

All of it thanks to his father. Yesterday, when Guo Shan and the secret army attacked the Xing District, they also sent their people to follow Guo Shan. These people recorded everything that happened in Xing District.

After watching the footage, his father immediately ordered them to evacuate from the city. The decisive decision made by his father saved them from the impending doom. They might become history just like many other families.

"But I don't expect that the Musashi Clan is behind that district! What are they planning?" Feng Ban Xou muttered in wonder.

A big clan like Musashi Clan established a mysterious district like that, what were they planning? Feng Ban Xou contemplated over that matter.

"Maybe they wanted to keep a check on us, the twelve major forces. As you know, we are the first one to be their target. We lost Fennu and Bian'er, we lost our stand in the city! Though it was my fault…" Feng Xinlun calmly commented and voiced out his guess.

He admitted that the last one was his mistakes. He did not expect that there was a guy that was familiar to a specter. Yes, he decided to evacuate not because they offended the Musashi Clan. It was because Heero managed to kill the specter in one hit.

The footage showed how the guy easily killed the secret army. Killing the specter was supposed to be not that easy, one had to target the dark core inside the body. Not only the guy knew about this, but he also managed to locate the dark core which alarmed him.

"But how? How did he locate the dark core? Does The Musashi Clan already know this all along, about the specter's existence?" Feng Xinlun voiced the thing that bothered him since yesterday.

"The second dungeon?" Feng Ban Xou mentioned about the second dungeon because he got the report that the second dungeon had a similar creature as the specter. The difference was that their secret army maintained their human form while the creature inside the second dungeon was created from the beast.

"Second dungeon? The undying?" Feng Xinlun also certainly knew about the second dungeon. It was quite possible as the Musashi Clan might have conducted deep research on this Undying that was similar to their specter army.

However, there was a problem that bothered him. How the guy in the footage discovered their people was no longer humans but specter.

"Hah… It's no use to think about that. In the end, they will fall in three months. We will make a comeback in three months. Just stay low, for now, what about the Shadow Fang? Have they contacted us?"

Feng Xinlun shook his head and asked his son.

"Hmm, Shadow Fang's leader is coming with Deming and Mingli! However, Deming said Shadow Fang's leader seems to be displeased because of this incident!" Feng Ban Xou replied with the look of uneasy plastered on his face.

"You don't need to worry, I will talk to him myself!" Feng Ban Xou was the one who started to probe the Xing District, so he was afraid of getting blamed for what happened.

*** ***

Meanwhile, Heero, the person who was half responsible for the uproar continued his day as if nothing happened.

However, a big change happened in the district. The district was less crowded than usual and Miao Miao Noodles Shop had fewer customers today.

Because of the Hero League's post, most people decided to stay at home. They were afraid of the specter that could not be differentiated with naked eyes. Heero dropped his head on the bar, gazing to the window.

In front of him, the two littles were girls were looking at their smartwatch heatedly. On their shoulder, Luminous Hyacinth stood, looking at the same smartwatch. It seemed the bird was curious about the smartwatch.

"I am done! I am going to check my school now!" Hong Yu put away her apron and went out of the kitchen, "Girls! Do you want to stroll with me?"

Heero Preschool was built earlier than Heero Academy, so the school was about to finish. Only needed the last touch, the decoration, and Hong Yu wanted to get involved in the last step.

Miao Miao and Myung-Hee ignored Hong Yu as their eyes glued to the smartwatch. She tsked at the two girls and left the shop. This made Heero curious as to what the two girls looked at. It is unusual for them to reject Hong Yu.

"What are you two playing with?" Heero thought the girls were playing a game or something, so he asked curiously.

To his surprise, the two little girls raised their heads, then with a fervent gaze, Miao Miao showed a picture to him, "Daddy, this is you, right?"

Heero looked into the smartwatch where the little girl pointed at. There was a picture and it was indeed his picture with Sun Zhou Yi and Hirata. Bai Tian Ming and Bai Xin Yue were also in the picture.

Miao Miao pointed at him in the picture who was still wearing a wooden mask. He was surprised because Miao Miao's guess was spot on. He gave a second look at the two little girls and the little girls stared at him with their gleaming eyes.

"How do you know?" Heero exclaimed in surprise.

"See! I told you this is my Daddy!" Instead of answering him, Miao Miao turned toward Myung-Hee. She showed her proud look to Myung-Hee, her expression was "See, my Daddy is amazing!"

"Hoh… He is not only your Daddy, but he is also my Teacher Xing!" Myung-Hee did not want to lose against Miao Miao. As days passed by, both little girls were getting closer and closer.

Heero was pleased when his eyes spoiled with such a scene. Just like this, Heero passed his days.

A month later

One night, Musashi Hirata met Heero privately as there was something he wanted to talk about. Meeting on the rooftop, Hirata faced his Master with a solemn look.

"Master, I am going to return to my clan! I am going to settle my past for once and forever!" With a solemn look, Hirata spoke of his purpose.

"Mnn, but there's no need to sever your tie with your family, right?" Heero persuaded his disciple not to do that. To him, the family was extremely precious, the most precious treasure.

"I know you mean well, Master. But I have decided, severing my tie with them is the best for us. And until I have found my own goal, I hope you will let me follow you!" Those words were from the bottom of his heart.

His Master gave him a second life, saving his life from Shadow Fang. Not only that, but his Master also opened a new world to him. Saying he had not found a goal was a lie, his Master's goal was his goal.

That was why he wanted to sever his tie with his clan and dedicated himself to Heero Academy. That was why, before the Heero Academy officially opened, he wanted to settle his past.

"Mnn… Go and come back earlier! I have prepared the building next to my shop for your mother," Realizing he could no longer persuade his disciple, Heero could only bless his disciple, wishing everything went well.

After bidding his farewell to his Master, Musashi Hirata left the rooftop. His destination was the Musashi Clan residence.
