Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Tiniman was a branch of the dwarf family. They called themselves Tiniman after their people isolated them out because of their cute voice. That was the story behind Tiniman.

Heero found them in the underground of the abandoned city in the dungeon where he met with the Purple Mountain Tribe. They had a food crisis because of the nocturnal beast that lingered around the abandoned city.

That was why Heero hinted King William the Tiniman was craving for more food. They suffered all these years hence food all they wanted.

Food and land what they were desired for. Heero offered them food and land for them to live, right underground of the Xing Town.

The meeting with the Tiniman ended King William and Alexa's trip in Star City. He got all he wanted, no, he got more than what he wanted.

King William returned with a big relief. He was truly relieved, not only because of the Phoenix Order Knight but also the Tiniman. The Dragon also surprised him, but it assured him that he chose the right ally.

Meanwhile, Heero went to meet Butcher Wang after he parted with King William. King William invited Heero for dinner but Heero declined the invitation.

Alliance with the Regal Kingdom meant there was more work for him. Especially the Phoenix Order Knight, he had to train a group of people but he could not do it in person. He needed someone reliable to do that and now he was heading to that person.

Heero chose Butcher Wang to lead these people. He was free anyway and he was also a hundred percent sure he would gladly lead these people.

"What? Why would I? I am busy already," Butcher Wang refused when Heero requested him to train the knights.

"Moreover, I don't speak English, I can't do it," Added Butcher Wang while shaking his head.

"Are you sure?" Heero asked with a big grin.

"I don't like that smile, I don't like it," Butcher Wang had known Heero for over a year since the day Heero was merely a preschool teacher. When Heero showed this kind of smile, he must be planning something out.

"Don't you think your business would be booming if you have more people to hunt with you," Heero continued with his grin as he turned his head toward Butcher Wang's storage room.

They were at Butcher Wang's slaughterhouse, where he skinned his prey. Despite the power he had now, Butcher Wang kept doing his job as usual. He never thought of becoming a hero or something like that.

As soon as Butcher Wang heard that, his eyes shone brightly. Recently, the disciple of the academy chose to hunt a stronger beast in which the meat could not be sold. Now if he had new people under him, he could have them 'accompanied' to hunt.

"Moreover, I heard you want to form a team to explore a new area? How is it, do you want to lead them to have some experiences in the wild?" Heero added as his grin became wider.

"Hmmmm…" Butcher Wang was thinking carefully, but then, he remembered he was not good enough to train people. Bringing them out for some experiences would do but not teaching them.

"You don't have to teach them anything. I will impart them the technique and you will be the one who watches them. Ah, the Purple Mountain Tribe will also help. As for the language barrier, you don't have to worry about that. King William will send the best among the best of his people and I am sure they can speak Chinese,"

It was as if Heero could read what in Butcher Wang's mind. He immediately replied to Butcher Wang's concern before Butcher Wang could say it out.

"Then I am down for it! I will do it!" Butcher Wang immediately agreed after he heard those.

Today, Heero visited the first dungeon. It had been seven days in a row he came to the first dungeon after working all day. He always ended his day by visiting the first dungeon.

He was anxious, anxious to find where God Horas' underlings were. If he found them then most likely he would find God Horas as well.

By then he could face God Horas for his revenge. That was why he visited the first dungeon to check Ryan White's condition every day.

Heero immediately went to the location but he did not find either Sun Zhou Yi or Niadin. However, he did find Ryan White.

He was sitting on the ground, right below a tree. The guy looked down at the green grass and his eyes were void.

Heero approached the guy and sat next to him.

Ryan White turned toward Heero and his eyes met with Heero's. No emotion could be detected in his eyes, he had an expressionless face too.

"Do you come to kill me?" A sentence came out of Ryan White's mouth.

"Nope!" Heero shook his head and replied truthfully, "I want to talk with you. I want information from you,"

"Hah… I thought you came to kill me…"

After saying that, Ryan White returned his gaze toward the green grass.

"Wuu… Even if I wanted to kill you, that old man would not let me…" Heero returned with a slight shrug.

"So you still don't want to answer my question?"

"Do you think I will tell my secret to my family's murderer? Even after slaughtering my family is not enough and you now want to know my secret too?"

Ryan White's voice turned house as his voice slightly raised, he was agitated as he once again turned toward Heero with bloodshot eyes.

But then, he let out a sigh and looked back at the green grass.

"Haha…" Heero laughed at Ryan White.

That was right, the reason why Ryan White looked so depressed, it was because he was told that all his family was killed. And it was Heero who told him about that.

Three days after the Abyss Parasite was removed from his head. Ryan White returned to his normal state and because of his impatience, Heero told him about that right after.

Just like everyone else, Ryan White thought it was Heero who killed his family. It was because of the recent conflict hence he thought it was Heero.

"Do you think it's funny?" Ryan White's voice turned cold as soon as he heard the laugh.

"Not the part of your family, but the fact that you thought I was eyeing your secret. That was so funny,"

Heero shook his head in response, "You can't even fight me? You can't even hurt me, do you think I will be eyeing such a secret from you?"

"Listen, I don't care about your secret. Nah, it is not even a secret and I know where your power comes from. It's a Divine Crow's bloodline, that's your power!"

When Heero said that out, Ryan White's eyes went wide. He was surprised to hear that from Heero's mouth. Divine Crow's bloodline, it was his source of power he got after wandering outside for years. But he never told anyone but one person. No one knew about his bloodline and it was supposed to be a secret.

"How did I know? I have fought you once and it was enough to know your little secret," Heero shrugged slightly.

"If you already knew about it, then why did you still want to know about where I got this bloodline? If you know about bloodline then you should know that you can't get the bloodline by force. They have to willingly give it to you, the core!"

The core, it was how to inherit a bloodline from the beast. A core that naturally formed inside their bodies for years. Ki that condensed into a core.

One had to swallow the core and let the Ki integrate within the body. With that, one could inherit the beast's power.

Ryan White squinted his eyes at Heero. He was trying to get something out of Heero.

"Hah, how many times I should tell you that I have no interest in your bloodline or whatever secret you hold. I want to know the people who gave you that bloodline, not your bloodline. Do you understand?"

"No, I don't!" Ryan White shook his head and sneered at Heero, "You want to look for them to get the bloodline for your underlings. You may be strong but your underlings are weak as f*ck! I am not that stupid to fall into your trap, there's no way my friend kill my family!"
