Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Specter Extermination Squad or in short SES was officially formed. The squad consisted of The Chief Instructor's disciples and apprentices, a veteran Intelligence Team, and Purple Mountain Tribe.

Just as its name, the purpose of SES was to exterminate the specters. And the one who was in charge of the squad was The Chief Instructor himself, Xing Heero.

Today, the Hero League announced officially SES as an independent squad. No other authority could meddle in SES affairs, without an exception the executives or even the Supreme Guardians.

It was more like an independent organization rather than a squad. Many disagreed with the plan, but the complaints died down when the Supreme Moon, Kim Jung-Mun voiced his support to SES.

Wearing his suits, Heero accepted the congratulations from the upper echelons of the big forces. On his side, Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue accompanied him.

At this time, the rumor about the three had spread. No one was surprised to see this, but many cursed Heero behind his back for taking the two goddesses at once.

During the official banquet, many men sent their dagger-glare at him. Of course, Heero was not bothered by the jealousy he received. He just wanted the banquet to finish quickly and went back.

But he knew such a thing was not possible. And as the main character of the event, he could not go back early too.

He sighed out and just as he was about to sit, a pair of father and son headed his way. Heero recognized the son, Yang Mushen, the winner of the Elemental Broadsword with 93.2 billion.

Yes, Heero recognized Yang Mushen not as Gold Class Hero - Rank 1, but as a whale customer. He smiled naturally at the young man and Yang Mushen also smiled back as he offered his hand.

"Congratulations, Chief Xing!"

Heero reached the hand for a handshake and thanked, "Thank you, "

"This is my father, Yang Jiang Wen!" Yang Mushen introduced his father to Heero.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, nice to meet you, " Heero offered a handshake to the man that looked around in his fifties.

–Yang Jiang Wen, Emperor Class Hero - Rank 10. The Yang Family Head.

Bai Xin Yue whispered. She knew the man next to her did put too much attention to the rank. So, she had been whispering to him each time people approached them.

"Hello, Chief Xing! Pleased to meet you too and congratulations!" Yang Jiang Wen reached the hand with a wide smile on his face.

"If you need anything or even help, don't hesitate to call the Yang Family!"

Heero nodded his head in return. After short pleasantries, Yang Jiang Wen bid his farewell to Heero.

This was what he had been doing at the banquet. Quite boring and tiring for him.

Again, just as he was about to sit, there was a pair headed toward him. The pair were wearing Japanese Traditional Clothes, an old man and a middle-aged man in his late forties.

–Hanzo Yori, Emperor Class Hero - Rank 6, the Hanzo Clan's head.

–Hanzo Hayashi, Emperor Class Hero - Rank 14, the next Hanzo Clan's head.

Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon whispered in rhythm. They did not wait for the pair to approach Heero as they immediately informed him as soon as the pair was on sight.

Hanzo Yori stopped in front of Heero yet he did not offer any greeting or congratulations as the others did. He stood there and looked into Heero's eyes with his sharp eyes.

"Do you find my face similar to an acquaintance of yours?" Out of the blue, the old man threw an unexpected question.

Heero raised the corner of his mouth, seemingly pondering the question seriously.

"I wonder… I have met so many people, I don't recall having met someone familiar like you, Elder, "

That was Heero's answer to the question, polite and calm.

Hanzo Hayashi furrowed his brows at Heero but made no remark. He just stood silently next to his father, as if he was a decoration who always followed Hanzo Yori.

The old man stood there as if they were having a staring contest.

"Knows when to retreat and advance Young Man! Then you will last long…"

After Hanzo Yori threw those words at Heero, he turned around.

Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue took that as a threat, not a warning or a kind reminder. Their eyes turned sharp and the same as Hanzo Hayashi.

He remained on his spot and met with the two women's gaze. The tension between them rose as if the fight would break at any moment.

Heero stopped the two women with a gesture of his hand and opened his mouth, "Thanks for the advice, Elder! But I also have a piece of words for you, Leniency for those who confess!"

Hanzo Yori halted his steps for a moment when those words entered his ears. Only for a moment before he continued to walk away from Heero with Hanzo Hayashi tailing him closely.

The boring banquet only finished two hours later. Heero was delighted that he was finally freed from the boring event.

As soon as the banquet came to an end, he immediately went to the Hero League HQ. Now SES was formed, Heero immediately put the squad into motion.

*** ***

The 31st floor of the Hero League, an operation office exclusive to SES. This office was for the intelligence team.

Bai Xian Ming chose the experts amongst the experts and put them into the intelligence team before he handed over the team to Heero.

As soon as Heero, Bai Xin Yue, and Kang Seo-Yeon entered the office, everyone inside stood from their chairs and greeted Heero.

"Chief!"

Heero nodded in return as he motioned them to go back to work. These people were working to locate the mutant village and watched the Specter movement through the satellite.

He directly went to the main office. There was a middle-aged man working inside.

When the door opened, he was displeased being disturbed while working. But when he looked up and found it was his Boss, he stood up and greeted, "Chief!"

"Mnn, so have you discovered the specter, Team Leader Luo?" Heero nodded and asked.

"We have discovered two suspicious movements through the satellite. Here!" Team Leader Luo pointed toward two screens.

"We don't know where they come from, but they seem to be heading toward the medium size of the mutant village!"

On the screen, a massive group wore a black cloak rush toward a direction. A direction where the mutant lived.

After that, Team Leader Luo pointed at the second screen. It was the same as what appeared on the first screen. A massive number of people moved in a group and they wore a black cloak to cover their appearance.

"Notify team 1 and team 2, work has arrived. Send team 1 to this location and send team 2 to this location!" Heero pointed the first screen then to the second screen afterward.

"Huh!? Only two teams?" Team Leader Luo was surprised by the choice.

There were only five squads available in SES for the time being. Squad 1 and Squad 2 consisted of ten people while Squad 3 to 5 consisted of fifteen people.

Team Leader Luo looked at the screen. The black-cloaked group consisted of over fifty people. The number was five times more than Squad 1 and Squad 2. He wondered if he was not hearing things.

"Yes, send Squad 1 and Squad 2 over to intercept these suspicious groups. You don't need to worry about them, they can handle this much, " Heero confirmed with a nod.

Sun Zhou Yi was Squad 1 Leader while Musashi Hirata was Squad 2 Leader. Heero was at ease sending them over.
