Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

"What do you mean?" Eid, Legendary Class Ranker - Rank 11 asked. He seemed to be interested in the plan.

"Just like what we did to the Xu Family. We can do it to the Hanzo Clan too!"

"Everyone knows how prideful the Hanzo Clan, not only they are prideful, they are also known as the crazed clan. Touch one of them, they will pay you back by a hundred folds!"

Basically the same as the Ranker Alliance. That was how overbearing the Hanzo Clan was.

"If we tell them about Hanzo Keiji being captured by Heero, they would use any means to get him back, with an interest…"

For the first time, Ryong Minjun grinned happily.

"If the Hanzo Clan wins, we can get back our leader, with interest maybe… If the Hanzo Clan loses, then we can devour them just like we did to the Xu Family! Either way, we will be the one who benefits the most!"

He was so desperate that he even used all means to destroy one person. The mighty Ranker Alliance had to lower its stance to use such a trick.

Heero Academy

In a room, there were two gaming capsules installed.

Psshhh!

One capsule was opened and Heero stormed out. The other capsule also opened and Old Man Dazekh came out as well.

"You idiot old man. I trusted you and became the bait, but how can you miss such an easy target! Your idiotic aim made both of us die!"

Heero vented out all his frustration to the old man.

Old Man Dazekh scratched and replied slyly, "Hehe, because the recoil was too strong caused my aim to miss. If I used my real body, there's no way I am going to miss the target!"

"We are playing the game, not in war! Moreover, this is your third time saying this! I am not going to trust you anymore, I am done with this!" Heero had no longer any will to play with the noob old man.

Yes, Heero and Dazekh did not come to the meeting because they were playing a game, WarGround.

The fps virtual reality game that just launched recently. Heero bought one as he was interested in the virtual reality test. Yesterday, he let the old man try it and he was addicted to the game.

They had played the game all night until now. It was fun at first, getting frustrated as they played more. It was because they never won, even once.

Just as Heero was about to storm out of the room, the door opened. Bai Xian Ming and Bai Xin Yue entered the room.

"Hoho… So you have been here all the time…" Old Ming let out a chuckle as his sharp eyes landed on Heero.

He was not expecting that trying the "advanced technology" was playing the game. Both did not attend the meeting because of a game, the old man was furious inside.

Heero's eyes brightened when Old Ming appeared. There was no guilt in his eyes for missing the meeting.

He approached the old man with a broad smile, "Grandpa Bai~ why don't you try the new game! It was fun~, "

He got closer to Old Ming and whispered, "Why don't you play with Old Man Dazekh to close the bond between you and him. If you have become close enough, maybe he would take dozens of heroes under his care and learned their secret technique. Much better than hiring them, right?"

Finding a new companion to play with, Old Man Dazekh also brightened up.

"Yeah, let's play! I am a sniper user in the game and quite good at it, "

'Huhu… Found a newbie to be a bait…'

Old Ming felt Heero's suggestion was not bad. Even though he had not seen the Purple Mountain Tribe in action, he believed in Heero's vision.

"Good, let's play~ but you have to teach me first, " Old Ming agreed to play though he never played a game before.

"No problem~ I will teach you once you logged in. Let's meet at the lobby, Old Friend~, " Old Man Dazekh responded happily as he entered the gaming capsule.

Old Ming followed and logged into the game.

Heero was relieved that he was finally freed from Old Man Dazekh.

"So, you were playing the game, " Bai Xin Yue approached Heero.

"Mnnn… I am interested in the virtual reality test in the hero test, so I bought a gaming capsule…" Heero nodded his head and got closer to Bai Xin Yue.

He whispered to her ear, "It's been two days…"

The girl was aware of what Heero wanted and she nodded coyly. 

Heero grinned and put his arm around her waist. Both were going to his office.

Midnight

Despite the darkness that had invaded the horizon, the Xing District was still lively and bright as ever.

Amidst the boisterous, without the people realized, a group of people in purple leather armor was patrolling around.

This group was the hunter from the Purple Mountain Tribe. They were deployed to secure the district. Just in case, some people would sneak into the district through the back door.

"Purple 2, safe!"

"Purple 3, safe!"

"Purple 4, safe!"

"Purple 7 reporting, we have a bunch of guys with Stealth heading toward the district, " A group of four men reported from outside the district.

Not only they patrolled inside the district, but they also checked the district's vicinity.

From the operation room, Lyera shot up from her chair. She picked her bow and arrow.

"Purple 7, keep an eye on them! Purple 3 and Purple 4, you head to the south wall, we will greet them there. It's time to prove our worth to our client!"

After that, Lyera went out of the operation room, heading toward the south wall.

*** ***

A group of ten people dressed in black rushed toward the Xing District. Of course, these people were in stealth.

The group was sent by the Hanzo Clan with a mission. It was to confirm whether the information about Hanzo Keiji being captured was true or not.

Secondly, if they found it to be true, their mission was to rescue the old man.

The group consisted of rankers and heroes with Crown Class Ranker as the leader.

"The wall is ahead, get ready to infiltrate the district. Kill anyone who…" The Crown Class Ranker stopped his instruction midway when he found a group of people was standing on the south wall.

To be more exact, it was five people and all of them had a mask covering their faces.

He felt the group was looking at him and his team. But he shook his head, they were in stealth, there was no way they could see them.

But an arrow proved otherwise. The arrow shot toward his subordinate's thigh next to him.

"Arghhhh!!!"

All of them were not expecting an attack when they were in stealth. So the guy did not see the arrow coming.

The guy who got an arrow on his thigh had his stealth wore off. He appeared with one of his legs down.

"You guys are under arrest! Surrender now!" Lyera shouted, indicating she could see the group.

But of course, she spoke in Dramonia Language and she realized her mistake soon.

"There's no other way, subdue them without killing them!" Lyera ordered through the intercom.
