Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Lately, the Star Forum was in high tension, a war between HandsomeBrutalSavage and the Ranker Alliance.

As everyone knew, HandsomeBrutalSavage was Heero's forum account or the newly appointed Chief Instructor of the Hero League.

Openly, the Ranker Alliance accused Heero of sheltering a mutant. Added with Xu Lingxun's picture of carrying someone under the coat, the Ranker Alliance posted the accusation on the forum.

Of course, the result was disastrous. Almost no one believed the post and instead, the Ranker Alliance flamed by the masses.

As everyone knew, recently the newly appointed Chief Instructor was prosecuting the rankers and their crimes. Over twenty rankers, from the Beginner Ranker until the newest case the Silver Ranker, Iron Fist Martial House.

Under the newly appointed Chief Instructor, the rankers received their deserving punishment, from a death sentence to jail.

HandsomeBrutalSavage was everyone's favorite. So, when the accusation post appeared on the forum, the result was disastrous.

Even the influencers on the forum did not dare to receive the money from the Ranker Alliance to escalate the issue. But there was a problem.

Even though so many people supported Heero, the involved guy did not give any response to the accusations. Heero kept his silence regarding this issue.

Reading through the forum, Bai Xian Ming furrowed his brows. He looked dissatisfied as the issue continued escalating because Heero did not give any response.

The Ranker Alliance used this chance to say that Heero was feeling guilty hence he did not respond to the accusations.

"Where is he? Is he that busy? Can he spare his time to respond to the issue!" Bai Xian Ming complained in a low voice as he closed the Star Forum.

He was asking his granddaughter who was currently enjoying her fish soup.

But Bai Xin Yue was busy with her fish soup, so she ignored her grandfather. Though it was only cabbage and deep-fried fish in a bowl of broth. She savored it in bliss.

"What's so good about this cabbage soup!?" The old man grumbled as he looked at his bowl.

A bowl of full floating cabbage on muddy broth and a piece of deep-fried fish.

With a thought of suspiciousness, he scooped up a half spoon of broth.

Slurp!

The moment the muddy liquid touched his tongue, a rich yet complex flavor flooded his mouth. He could not tell what made it delicious, but it was surprisingly tasty.

This time he scooped a spoonful broth into his mouth. He really could not tell, but the more he tasted it, he wanted more. The soup was addictive.

"Stop! The owner surely blackhearted, how can he put a drug into his food!" The old man slammed the spoon on the table.

"Drug? What are you talking about?" Bai Xin Yue asked as she swallowed the cabbage in her mouth.

"The cook must be putting a drug into the food so it tastes addictive!" The old man fumed as he took the spoon in his daughter's hand, "Stop eating this druggy soup!"

"What are you talking about? Drug?"

*giggle*

"The food here has passed the test and is safe to be consumed! Moreover, the secret recipe behind the soup is…"

"Ah, I can't tell you, insider secret. He told me not to share the recipe even to my family, " She seized the spoon and finished the bowl.

"The food is safe. Don't worry about it and just enjoy this heavenly fish soup!"

Just as he wanted to force his granddaughter to spill the secret, the door was knocked.

Dok! Dok! Dok!

"Come in!" The old man felt weird. If it was Heero, he would not bother to knock and just directly went in. He felt bad premonition about this.

The door opened and three figures entered the room. Musashi Hirata and two guests, the captain guard of the best hunter team of the Purple Mountain Tribe, Lyera, and an Elder of Purple Mountain Tribe, Sharikh.

Lyera was wearing her leather purple armor and a wooden mask patterned with purple leaves. As for Sharikh, he was wearing a gray robe and had kind of a gentle look.

"Welcome, Captain Lyera and Elder Sharikh, " Bai Xian Ming stood up and greeted the guests. Bai Xin Yue also stopped… No, she had cleaned her bowl actually.

Musashi Hirata translated the old man's words into Dramonia. Yes, he came here to replace his Master to be a translator.

"Hmmm… If may I ask, where's Chief Dazekh? Is he busy?"

Elder Sharikh rubbed his thumb and replied hesitantly, "He's currently trying the Earth's advanced technology… Yes, that's it, he was amazed by the Earth's technology, "

"I see…" Old Man nodded his head and somehow he felt something fishy.

Bai Xian Ming put those thoughts away and brought Elder Sharikh to the table. As soon as the sat, Elder Sharikh handed a scroll made of the leather beast.

"Chief Bai, this is the list of the specter's price. I have discussed specter level power with Sa… Heero and we have come up with a new level power of the specter. The price is based on the new measurement, if you agree with the price, then we have the deal!"

Elder Sharikh skipped the small chat and directly to the reason for their meeting, the deal.

Bai Xian Ming nodded and opened the scroll.

Meanwhile, the Ranker Alliance was currently very busy.

There were so many things that happened during the last two days. From the forum issue until the fact that the Ranker Alliance was being targeted by the Chief Instructor.

There were many ranker candidates who canceled their admission to be part of them because of this issue.

Bam!

Ryong Minjun slammed the table hard in anger. He was pissed off, extremely pissed off.

Not even a month since he became the leader of the Ranker Alliance. But everything went to the south since he replaced his father.

He failed to get the new secret technique and some upstart dared to ignore the Ranker Alliance's authority. Not only that, that person even threatened them by exposing the crime.

He tried to turn the situation by exposing his "illegal deeds", but the result was disastrous. No one believed the Ranker Alliance.

He tried to report the case to the Central Government. But his report was dismissed with a reason lack of evidence. Trying to use the Ryong Family's connection yet no one dared to step into this case.

It was as if the Ranker Alliance was being isolated. And it happened because by a person, only one person.

He was furious but he did not have a way to vent it out.

"Who told you to post that on the forum!? Are you insane? Did you even know our situation? Now, thanks to your rash decision, many of the candidates turned down the offer!" Park Haneul pointed his finger to his leader.

He showed no respect for the new leader in front of the others.

That only made the new leader pissed even more. Ryong Minjun knew it was his mistake if he fought out with Park Haneul, he might lose the support of the others.

He controlled… No, he suppressed his anger and thought to himself, 

'Revenge is a dish best served cold! Just you wait Park Haneul! I will make you pay every humiliation ten… No, hundredfolds!'

'Revenge… Revenge…'

Ryong Minjun's face brightened as he got a brilliant idea.

"I have a good idea, actually!" He voiced his thoughts.

"The Hanzo Clan, we can use them to fight that b*stard! Whether the Hanzo Clan won or that person won, either way, we are the ones who will reap the benefits!"

Not only his father but Hanzo Keiji also involved. They could use the Hanzo Clan to confront Heero by telling the clan about their missing elder.
