Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Wu Shitian and Kim Jung-Mun's frown deepened. The cleansing thing was not as good as they thought.

But then, Kim Jung-Mun released out a sigh. He was worried about his family, but he also knew what Heero did was the best for the Hero League.

"What's your motive? Your motive to do this! What is it?" Wu Shitian put the chopstick away and questioned Heero strongly.

"The motive is quite simple! I want my family to live in a safe place. I want no danger whether it's internal or external, I want a safe environment for my family to live on!" Heero gave an immediate answer.

Wu Shitian looked the young into the eyes. He then noticed the young man was firm with his answer. From his experiences, he could tell the young man was telling the truth.

"A safe place that does not even need me to protect. I want to enjoy my retirement, the rest of my life with my family without being disturbed! That's the main purpose of me establishing the Xing District! That's the reason the Heero Academy established!"

"Just that?" Wu Shitian could not believe it. He doubted that. He felt there was a hidden motive behind his action.

"Just that? It may look trivial to you, but family is the most important in my life. That's the reason I am not a hero and that's the reason I prefer to take in disciples!"

"I am not Saint but just a normal human being with some little power who wanted to enjoy his retirement life peacefully with his family. That's me!"

Heero summarized himself in front of the three old men and his wife.

"Aren't you a bit selfish? Not a bit actually, you are actually very selfish! You sacrifice many people's lives only to achieve that? A safe place for your family? Why don't you live separately from us, leave Star City!"

Wu Shitian did not back down. He seemed to set dead against Heero's cleansing plan.

"Sacrificing many lives? Huhu…" Heero chuckled at the old man's words, "What about you, the big families then? How many lives you have sacrificed for the Wu Family to reach the current position! You know it more than me, so don't be a hypocrite, Elder!"

"Now how do you feel about it? The younger generation of the Wu Family used your family name to suppress the people! You, the Wu Family being at the top is doing more harm than good itself than my ideal safe place! Do you want proof of it? Give a week, I will give you the detailed proof!"

Heero without hesitation challenged the elder. In fact, he was not angry at Old Man Wu, he was fine if the old man wanted to protect his family.

But he did not like how he made him look like a crazy villain. The old man twisted his words as if he was doing huge harm while in fact, he helped many people.

"Why the Hero League? What about the Ranker Alliance?" Wu Shitian pointed out the thing he thought Heero overlooked.

The meaning of his words was clear. Why did you deliberately target the Hero League? Why did you not start with the Ranker Alliance instead? He was speaking as if Heero deliberately aimed at the Hero League.

Heero shook his head in disappointment. He thought as someone who stayed on the above could see the big picture rather than a short time of false harmony.

"I don't know what you're trying to achieve, Elder Wu. Your words as though telling us what I am doing is a crime! As I said, I have permission from The Chief Executive! Your opinions don't matter to me. Try to stop me if you want, "

Heero did not bother to convince Wu Shitian any longer. If the old man did not agree, then they would go a separate way. If Bai Xian Ming took back his words, it meant less work for him. His aim was still the Ranker Alliance, after all.

"I will give you my support!" Kim Jung-Mun gave out his consent which shocked Wu Shitian.

"Jung-Mun! How could you…"

"If we don't stop the problem from the root, it will be just a matter of time before the Hero League falls. It will be just a matter of time before the Kim Family falls just like…" Kim Jung-Mun did not finish his words, but the other two old men understood him.

From twelve founder families of Star City, only four families still stood. Bai, Wu, Kim, and Musashi.

The Bai Family was facing a crisis as many forces coveted their heritage. The lack of a proper heir, deepening the crisis.

Kim Jung-Mun understood why Old Ming was very supportive of the cleansing. It was to avoid the crisis, letting the other forces confronting Heero.

As for why he agreed to the cleansing, he did not want his family he had been built along with his ancestors fell and became history.

At least, with him still alive, his family would pass the cleansing easily. They could rebuild everything they lost during the cleansing with him around.

As for why he did not do it by himself? He just could not bear to do it to his own kin.

"But I disagree if you show no mercy to them. At least, you should give them a second chance!"

"Certainly, there will always be a second chance. But not everyone deserves a second chance, all of it depends on…" Heero did not finish his words, but the old men understood.

"Leniency for those who confess I would say. Death for the worst crimes while being stripped of their position and starting again from scratch is the lightest judgment! We will hold a proper trial and you can join us in the trial! So don't worry about being biased!"

"Leniency for those who confess…" Kim Jung-Mun repeated the words and nodded his head.

The talk just started, the real talk continued for a few hours after that, till midnight. Even though, until the end of the talk, Wu Shitian did not agree with the cleansing idea. Kim Jung-Mun became very supportive.

"In three weeks, this is the time I can give for those who want to confess. You can send a letter or make an announcement or whatever. Inform them about the cleansing! I will start the cleansing in three weeks!"

"I will establish an independent squad for this! I will tell you the details later. It's already too late," Heero waved his hand to the three old men and went back to his noodle shop.

The noodles shop was closed, but the light was on. The three girls had not gone back yet. They were waiting for Han Ying.

Even though the wedding was not big, the four girls prepared it meticulously. From the invitation, the food, and the dress for the wedding.

When they entered the shop, Hong Yu pulled her sister with her.

Looking at the four cheerful wives, Heero held his chin as he thought of something. He followed the sisters and stood next to the four women.

"I think it's about time!" Out of the blue, he voiced what was on his mind.

The four women turned their heads toward Heero simultaneously. Puzzled was the right word to describe their expression.

"I think it's about the time to tell you about my past! You deserve to know this!"

Yes, Heero wanted to tell his wives his past. The fact he was an ancient human with unknown age.

"You don't have to force yourself to tell us about your past. We love the present you, not your past, " Han Ying was the first one to respond to him.

The other three women followed with a nod. They agreed with Han Ying.

However, Heero insisted, he was firm to tell his past to his wives.

"You have the right to know my past!"
