Unfortunate Heros Retirement Life - Chapter 312
Butler Rodin put on a worried expression. Ryan White’s confidence tone did not assure him in the slightest. He became even more worried as Sun Zhou Yi was not someone to be trifled with.
“I hope you do not look down on them, Young Master! Especially for Sun Zhou Yi and his Master!”
The old man tried to remind Ryan White out of his kindness.
Hearing those words, Ryan White turned around with a surprised expression plastered on his face.
“Why so? Can you tell me more about them?” He was not upset but got slightly intrigued.
A man with an unknown origin and a newly promoted Emperor Class Hero. His uncle seemed to be concerned about these two more rather than a descendant of the Musashi Clan.
“Mnnn, I heard from the rumors that the Leader of the Ranker Alliance went missing and it was related to Xing Heero. Not only Ryong Chong-Shik, but Hanzo Keiji also went missing, in fact!”
“Sun Zhou Yi, he’s someone who is titled as the Sword God after his battle against the horde of Level 10 threat! He slowly gained fame afterward, contributing in a battle against the specter…”
Butler Rodin explained about all Sun Zhou Yi’s achievements and background. One after another and it slowly shocked Ryan White. Based on the story of his uncle, Sun Zhou Yi experienced huge growth in a mere few months.
“After many interviews with the media, Sun Zhou Yi revealed the secret behind his growth is his Master!”
Once again, Butler Rodin tried to remind the Young Master of his to be careful of Xing Heero.
Ryan White nodded his head while rubbing his chin.
“What about Musashi Hirata? Do you know anything about him?”
“I don’t know much about him. He declined all interviews and rarely appeared in the public. But the rumors said Xing Heero was the one who helped him to perfect Musashi Clas’s Sword Technique!”
Butler Rodin replied in a concerned tone. He was truly worried about his Young Master, the unknown was something one should be wary of. No one knew the depth of this Xing Heero.
“Hoho, no wonder he can attain his current status. Two Emperor Class Heroes, those old men must be greedy about that guy’s secret, ” Ryan White let out a chuckle and looked toward Butler Rodin.
“I will be fine, Uncle Rodin. No matter how strong they are, my win is inevitable!” He cast a reassuring smile and his voice carried confidence.
“I believe in you, Young Master! I will try to investigate more about Musashi Hirata, ” Butler Rodin bowed and turned around.
Ryan White nodded and sat back. He tapped his index finger against the table, “No wonder they are not worried about me changing sides to the Ranker Alliance. The giant alliance is slowly rooted by that guy, ”
He leaned back to his chair with his eyes closed and a confidence smile formed on his lips.
“That guy must be someone from that place, I am a hundred percent sure, but it will change nothing. I am also someone from that place!”

The Star Forum, where the people of Star City gathered online was in an uproar with the huge news that circulated around.
The Emperor Class Hero – Rank 1 who just returned from his expedition trip, challenged the President of the Hero League.
The craziness did not stop there. Right after Ryan White challenged Xing Heero, his two famed disciples challenged Ryan White.
The Star Forum was on fire because of these. The majority of people supported the challenge, it was a kind of entertainment to them while the minority did not agree with the challenge.
Of course, the minority would be flooded by the majority. That was what happened as always.
Heero Academy, cafeteria
Benjamin, Ye Zhun, and Kim Hyun-Su gathered on one table. The atmosphere around them was quite awkward as Ye Zhun tried to avoid Benjamin’s eyes.
‘Stupid Ye Zhun, how could you say those to Benjamin. He just lost his father and… He is the Second Prince of the Regal Kingdom… Ye Zhun oh Ye Zhun…’
Ye Zhun was having conflicted thoughts. After saying all those things yesterday to Benjamin, he realized the severity behind his words. What if Benjamin used his background to do something for his family because of what he said yesterday?
That was the thing that worried Ye Zhun. If not for Kim Hyun-Su, he was going to hole himself in his room.
“S-sorry, Benjamin…”
To Ye Zhun’s surprise, Benjamin seemed not upset with him. Benjamin smiled and said, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. In fact, I am grateful to you. Thank you to wake me up from my stupidness, ”
Benjamin bowed his head in return which surprised Ye Zhun. He looked at Benjamin dumbfoundedly as he never expected such a scenario.
“Stop dazing, it’s started!” Kim Hyun-Su slapped Ye Zhun’s shoulder.
“Ah, right!” Ye Zhun nodded repeatedly and looked toward the big screen.
Today, the three gathered here to watch a conference by their Master.
Sure enough, on the screen, Heero was accompanied by his two wives who were also his secretary, Kang Seo-Yeon, and Bai Xin Yue. Only three of them from the Hero League faced the media, no one else.
The conference was to respond to the challenge issued by the Emperor Class Hero – Rank 1, Ryan White.
As the three figures appeared on the screen, a barrage of chat next to the screen was rained with curses. They were cursing Heero for taking the two goddesses of course.
At the place where the conference took place.
Heero tapped the mic twice and let out a small cough to clear his throat. Then he looked at Bai Xin Yue. The latter nodded her head.
“Alright, let’s start the conference! As the notice said, the conference is to address the recent issue that caused an uproar on the forum from our respected hero, Ryan White who just came back from his trip!”
“Before I address the issue I want to clear about something first. It seems people misunderstand something about Ryan White’s trip!” At the end of his sentence, Heero made a quote gesture with his hand.
The reporters looked at each other, a little confused but they immediately focused back on their smartwatches.
“First of all, I want to clarify that the respected Hero Ryan White does not go on a mission trip. He left without prior notice, did not tell us where he went to, and could not be contacted. I read the forum and people seemed to misunderstand this so I want to clear this first. He did not go for a mission but traveled around and could not be contacted!”
The reporters put on a surprised look when they heard this. They immediately typed something on their smartwatches.
“The second issue, the respected hero Ryan White seemed to not agree with my reform. And it seems over ninety percent of heroes also agreed with the respected hero Ryan White’s view, the revaluation test and kind of! Here I want to explain the meaning behind the revaluation test!”
“It’s to evaluate the heroes’ strength whether they deserve their classes or not. Their pay after all from the citizens of Star City’s tax and we who manage those tax money just want to make sure that each hero worth their pays. That’s why the revaluation test is applied in the reform. Aside from the pay, a certain class also received a certain privilege. So the purpose of the revaluation is to make sure to not waste your money. In the end, if you are strong enough and confident in your strength, you don’t need to worry, it’s not like the Hero League will put an impossible test!”
“Third which is the main issue, a hero challenged… Wait a minute, Challenger is created with the purpose to resolve a conflict between heroes. I am not a Hero, does the rule apply to me?” Heero put on a confused expression but his tone was playful.
“Are you going to decline the challenge, President of the Hero League?” A bespectacled reporter stood up and voiced a question.
“Are you going to shamelessly decline the challenge with that pathetic excuse? Are you afraid of the strongest hero, Ryan White!?”
Everyone at the conference looked toward one direction. Everyone was looking at the brave reporter who dared to question the President of the Hero League offensively.

“Haha… Stupid guy! Do you think I don’t anticipate such a move? Do you think you can run away from me? Haha!”
Ryan White was sitting on the couch comfortably with a cup of coffee in his hand, watching the broadcast.
Aside from the first declaration that was unexpected and might stain his name, everything went well.
“If you want to decline the challenge, you should not broadcast the conference, no, you should not broadcast it if you want to decline the challenge, Idiot!”
“My oh my, you should not challenge and now you are doomed to die in my hand!”
