Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 30: Dungeon

Heero left the room in disappointment. When he came out, Hong Yu was already waiting for him.

Hong Yu found something amiss and asked in concern, "How's your side? Everything is okay, right?"

Heero shook his head, "It's not good" his words trailed off.

"What happened? Did they suspect you?" Hong Yu became anxious when she heard the answer. They came here to record their testimony over Hope Park Incident. So she thought it went bad for Heero.

"No it's not that I will tell you on the way."

Heero and Hong Yu left the Central Police together. When they reached outside the Central Police, Hong Yu laughed out loud, unrestrained.

At the same time, there was a mother and a daughter passed them. The mother looked at Hong Yu in disdain while the daughter looked curiously at Hong Yu.

"Mother, why does that big sister laugh? Is there anything funny here?" The daughter looked at the surrounding, but she could not find the thing that was worth laughing at. She was curious about what things made Hong Yu laughed out loud.

"Don't know, they are just bumpkin from the outer city. There's nothing good of them. You are a lady, you should not laugh like that bumpkin girl, okay?"

The mother did not bother to lower her voice at all. Instead, the mother deliberately to say it with a loud voice so Hong Yu could hear her. Of course, with that loud voice, Hong Yu and Heero heard the mother who lectured her daughter.

Sure enough, Hong Yu stopped laughing. She was getting embarrassed after listening to that mother's words. It was indeed not good to laugh unrestrained like that for a lady like her, it was not lady-like at all.

Hong Yu peeked at Heero. She noticed he was frowning.

'Does he feel I don't like a proper lady?' Hong Yu did not care about the mother and the daughter thought, but she cared for Heero's opinion to her.

Heero let out a sigh and tapped Hong Yu's back, "Just ignore them, there would always be people like them. Just be the way you are."

As soon as Heero's words entered her ears, smiled blossomed on Hong Yu's face.

Afterward, both entered the car prepared by the Central Police. Heero and Hong Yu had no pass or right to enter the inner region. So they could not move around as they pleased in the inner region.

The Central Police prepared a car to pick and deliver them to Commerce Region. Inside the car, Heero asked Hong Yu why did she laugh just now.

"But why were you laughing so hard just now?" Heero wondered why Hong Yu was laughing just now. He was only telling the truth.

He told what happened in the room just now. The invitation to join the Hero League and his offer to Park Yong Gi. Heero told everything as he felt there was no need to hide things.

At first, Hong Yu was amazed upon hearing one executive of the Hero League invited to join the Hero League. However, when the story reached the part of him offering to be Hero Instructor, Hong Yu started laughing.

He could not understand what was so funny about it. Heero thought it was great cooperation that could be reached between him and Hero League.

"It's funny of course. Even though I never visited the Hero League, but I understand a little about them. To be Hero instructor, you at least at the level Gold Class. If you were Gold Class before, then they would invite naturally, but pfft"

It was not that Hong Yu looked down Heero. It was just too hilarious when Heero innocently offered himself to be Hero Instructor, without knowing the procedure. Moreover, Heero confidently asked to be paid a million Wd a month at that.

"Hmm" Heero nodded his head in acknowledgment. He still did not understand how the Hero League worked was.

In dramonia, he was at Grandmaster Rank. It was about the same as Gold Class in here if Heero had to convert the rank. Heero never met a Golden Class Hero in a person, so he did not know how strong Gold Class Hero was.

If what Hong Yu said was right, then he could not be a Hero Instructor. He had to be a Hero if he wanted to be a Hero Instructor.

"Oh, why don't you join the Hero League? you are strong!" Finally, she asked the thing she most curious about.

Hong Yu was truly curious why did a person like Heero who had the strength to be Hero did not want to become one. She heard Hero's income was not bad, at least, Heero could get more than a mere preschool teacher and published books.

"Hmm, let's say, to be a Hero, I have to be selfless. Protecting everyone from danger, going here and there to eradicate the threat to the city, etc."

"That's right, it's Hero's duty." Hong Yu nodded her head in agreement.

"That's why I can't be Hero. I am selfish, I only want to protect the person who is important to me. I don't want to lose them and will protect them with my life at risk, but I can't do that for other people anymore. I will help with the others, but I will not risk my life for them." Heero told an incomplete truth. He did not tell Hong Yu his past.

"Important to you? Who's that?" Hong Yu asked in a red face and full of anticipation.

"You!" Heero answered without hiding his feeling toward Hong Yu. He answered straightforwardly, leaving Hong Yu flustered.

"M-Me Me?"

"Yes, you are important to me. I like you, I like the moment we spent together, your smile, dimples of yours, your black long hair, and your heart." Heero said it a straight face and sincere smile.

"Urgh" The more she heard it, the more flustered she became. Moreover, she noticed Heero said without battling his eyes at all. If today was the first day she met him, he might think Heero was bluffing. But she knew Heero was not that kind of person.

Hong Yu had her head hung down. She did not dare to meet Heero's eyes. She was really so embarrassed that Heero just confessed to her. Moreover, the driver kept looking back at them from time to time.

'Urgh, crap! I just blurted it out without any proper plan.'

Heero's plan was to look for a new and stable job. After that, he would confess his feeling to Hong Yu and get married. However, because Hong Yu asked, he blurted it out without thinking.

'But I already confessed. Strike the iron while it's still hot! It was what Lan Lan said to me. Then I will go to the end!'

"Hong Yu!" Heero called.

"Y-yesss?" Hong Yu turned toward Heero.

"During these four months, you gave me joy and happiness and I decided that I want to spend the rest of life with you, please would you marry me?"

SCREEEEEECHHHH!!!!!

The car suddenly stopped as the driver stepped on the brakes at the same time Heero finished his proposal to Hong Yu.

"Oh, I am sorry, I am sorry. I accidentally stepped on the brakes. You guys can continue don't mind me don't mind me" the Driver apologized and the car continued heading toward the Commerce Region.

Core Region, Hero League HQ

Park Yong Gi just came back after failing to recruit Heero to join Hero League. This was the second time he failed to recruit talent. Yes, in his eyes Heero was a talented one. The way Heero killed the dark wolves piqued his interest.

However, he failed to invite Heero to join the Hero League. Park Yong Gi somewhat depressed from failing to recruit Heero. This was the first time he encountered such an interesting person.

Yes, besides talent, Park Yong Gi regarded Heero as an interesting person. People were working hard to get power and became Hero or Ranker. But Heero refused his offer with an absurd excuse. Heero said he did not have any interest to be Heero.

Of course, Heero was an interesting person if he had a clear background. But his background was unclear, it only made things getting even more suspicious.

Park Yong Gi entered the Hero League and the receptionists greeted him respectfully. As he entered, one female receptionist approached Park Yong Gi.

"Executive Park, the executives are waiting for you in the Conference Room."

"Mmnn, I know." Park Yong Gi nodded his head and headed to the elevator along with his two assistants.

"Have you prepared the documents, Mr. Kim?"

The middle-aged man called Mr. Kim took out a bunch of papers from his back and handed it to Park Yong Gi.

Park Yong Gi took the documents. At the same time, the elevator opened. He arrived at his destination, the twentieth floor.

The conference room was right in front of the elevator. Park Yong Gi knocked on the door and entered. As for his two assistants, they could not participate in the meeting.

Inside the conference room, there was a long glass table and there were fourteen people sat behind the table. Park Yong Gi walked to his seat. When he sat on his seat, a deep and charismatic voice resounded.

"Executive Park Yong Gi has arrived, let's start the meeting!"

Afterward, a deep silence followed for a brief moment. The deep and charismatic voice sounded once again.

"First, let's start from Executive Park Yong Gi."

Park Yong Gi raised his hand and there was a woman approached him. He gave the papers in his hand to the woman.

"He rejected our invitation!"

"Oh, Ranker Alliance surely moved fast!" An old voice resounded in disappointment.

"No. Ranker Alliance did not make a move. He said he did not have the interest to be Hero. Instead, he wanted us to hire him as Hero Instructor and claimed he would train many Heroes to reach Emperor Class!"

As soon as Park Yong Gi said this part, a sonorous laugh echoed inside the conference room.

"Hahaha. Youngster this day is surely interesting!"

"Instructor Kang, please keep your voice low when we are in the meeting! Please continue, Executive Park!"

"Yes. You can see in the paper, this person's background is unclear. He is not registered as Star City's citizens and everything about him is unclear. Except for the record of his activity in the last four months, we could not find anything about him!" Park Yong Gi explained while the other executives looked into the paper.

Everything about Heero was written in the paper.

"Then, what's your idea to handle him?"

"Why don't we catch him and interrogate him. It will be easier if the person himself tells us about his past. Maybe he is part of Shadow Fang and Hope Park incident is part of Shadow Fang's plan." A strong and rough voice resounded.

"Executive Park, what's your idea?"

"If Xing Heero is part of Shadow Fang. Why did he reject our invitation? They can infiltrate to Hero League if he is part of Shadow Fang."

Moreover, Shadow Fang will not make a blunder to put a man with a suspicious identity to infiltrate Star City. My idea is to put surveillance on him, sending one or two heroes to keep on the watch of his movement for the time being."

Park Yong Gi voiced his idea.

"I agree, we are Hero League, not an organized criminal. We can't catch the people because of mere suspicion." The person called Instructor Kang immediately agreed to Park Yong Gi's suggestion.

"Any objection? No? Then we will send two Silver Class Heroes to watch Xing Heero."

"Next! We will talk about 'another world' that Bai Xin Yue discovered. For now, let's call this 'another world' as a dungeon! Executive Yang, what's about the preparation to attack the dungeon?"

"The preparation is complete. Emperor Class - Rank 20, Huo Liang Xun will lead the party to attack the dungeon!"
