Unfortunate Heros Retirement Life - Chapter 319
The way of Heero treating Ryan White just now was like they were a close friend rather than an adversary. The way of him speaking also like this Challenger Battle was merely a show.
“That’s it?!” Zhan Ling blurted out in confusion.
The battle between the two was short but it was amazing nonetheless. It was an amazing battle that made her crave more.
“Yeah!” Master Yun Ji nodded his head, “The battle is over with an upset! President Xing won the battle!”
“It was not an upset, at all! I told you from the start that President Xing will win the battle! But I just did not expect the gap to be this big!” Zhan Ling immediately refuted Master Yun Ji.
The latter immediately lowered his head. Zhan Ling was right, it was not an upset win. It was just he did not know how strong Heero was. It was a one-sided fight. As soon as Heero made his move, Ryan White was subdued.
During the fight which only lasted for less than five minutes, Heero only launched two attacks. Those two attacks subdued Ryan White.
However, he said it was an upset win to save Ryan White’s face. Despite the crushing defeat, Ryan White was very strong nonetheless. But Zhan Ling just tackled that and he had nothing to speak about that.
Master Park Song-Hoon shut his mouth. He did not speak a single word after a short dominating battle.
“Let’s not speak about that. Let’s analyze the battle instead, the people who watched the battle must have wanted to know too!”
Zhan Ling immediately changed the topic when the two Master Instructors did not speak. A picture appeared on the screen. It was a picture of Ryan White when he launched his last attack.
The screen showed Ryan White’s face, his madness expression, and his bloodshot eyes were very clear. It was an expression of someone who lost his mind. At least, it was what Zhan Ling thought as soon as she saw Ryan White’s picture.
“What do you think happened to Ryan White? Before President Xing burned him, I heard he said something like this, “There’s something off about you…”, is there something off about Ryan White?”
Zhan Ling tried to copy Heero’s voice and tone as well. At the same time, Heero’s recorded voice was played. Indeed, Heero said those words before he burned himself and Ryan White in the flame pillar.
Master Yun Ji and Master Park Song-Hoon looked at each other.
Meanwhile, in the Dome Hero, the spectators did not leave the arena. They watched the big screen, wanting to know what happened as well. They were waiting for the two Master Instructors’ analysis of the battle.
The people who watched from the home also watched their screens. Everyone was waiting for more explanation.
Meanwhile, at the VIP room where the Regal Kingdom’s royal family was watching.
“What an impressive ability!” King William commented as he stood from the couch. He was about to leave the room.
Alexa followed after him and asked her husband, “Don’t you want to continue watching?”
The battle finished too fast. When she thought the battle was about to reach the climax, the battle ended abruptly.
King William shook his head, “Do you think those two old men could analyze someone that much stronger than themselves?”
After throwing that question to his wife, he walked toward the exit. When he opened the door, he realized something, “He said it was a show, not a battle! Now I understand why it was a show,”
He recalled the battle just now and nodded his head. It was truly an acrobatic show, but an amazing one.
Alexa was still clueless, “Why?”
William turned toward his wife and explained with a smile, “It was not a battle when President Xing just beat Ryan White one-sidedly like that. It was a show, a show of his power to all of us, maybe?”
He shrugged and left the room with his wife. Outside the room, he met with Heero’s four wives and there was also a camera shooting at them.

Meanwhile, at the corner of the Dome Hero
There was an old man and a middle-aged man sat side by side. Both were looking at the big screen, there the two Master Instructors who tried hard to analyze the battle while having a conversation.
If one looked at them, they looked like just a normal spectator. But they were not. Even though their eyes were watching the screen, they were having a different conversation.
“So… What do you think? Would he be a threat to us?” The old man asked in a flat tone.
“I don’t know!” The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulder, “You watched it too, your pawn failed to make him go all out. What can I get from those two attacks?”
“What a pity, he is quite decent though. His power rivaled an Emperor Class Beast,” The Old Man shook his head in pity.
“Indeed, it’s a pity that we have to discard our ace card to take down this city for simple confirmation. He indeed has a Phoenix Bloodline which has been confirmed during the Regal Kingdom’s attack,”
“Huh!? Discard them, but why?” The old man asked.
“Don’t you hear what that beautiful host says? She says that guy has found something off about your pawn! It’s just a matter of time before he finds out about you and us! For someone like him, I think it’s easy to track you down!” The middle-aged man yawned and threw the coffee-flavored popcorn into his mouth.
“Moreover, he also brought your pawn’s body with him. He should notice something,” Added the middle-aged man.
“Huh, then all my effort these years are in vain?” The old man sighed.
“Unless you want to risk your life to assassinate him? I estimate his power is at the peak of an Emperor Level or even Semi God or even maybe a God. We don’t know anything about him except the Phoenix Bloodline. You can stay and eliminate him if you are confident in your strength,”
The middle-aged man suddenly grinned at the old man.
“What do you think? Can I kill him?” It seemed the old man took the middle-aged man’s idea seriously.
“I told you I don’t know. I am considering sending the dragon to test him out, but not now. I don’t want the same incident as Goun repeated,”
“Not going then. What about them? Should I bring them with me? They have served me for a long time, I am a bit reluctant to leave them behind,” The old man immediately aborted the idea of assassinating Heero when the middle-aged man brought up the Dragon.
“Them? I don’t care about them. They have lost their purpose, so you can do whatever you want to them. Just make sure don’t leave any trace about us. I don’t want to face that guy now so we have to lay low for the time being! There’s a possibility he’s the Saint’s disciple though it’s just a minuscule possibility we have to be extra careful,”
The middle-aged reminded the old man in a grave tone.
“Saint’s disciple? But his behavior did not reflect a Saint’s disciple!?” The old man furrowed his brows.
“Like I said it is a minuscule possibility but we have to be extra careful. I don’t want you to mess up our plans! I want to present this world to God Horas as soon as he wakes up from his slumber, so don’t mess up our plans or I will kill you with my own hands!”
The middle-aged man’s voice was deep and infused with a killing intent that sent a chill to the old man’s spine.
The old man lowered his head, “Alright, I understand!”

Right after the Challenger Battle was over, Heero immediately headed toward the parking lot where he parked his car.
He threw Ryan White into the trunk and waited for his wives.
It did not take a long time before his wives arrived. They were coming with King William and Queen Alexa. But also four Guardian Knights accompanied them.
Heero’s smile thickened at the sight of King William and his wife. He offered his hand for a handshake and King William reached his hand.
“Have you taken a photo with the media?” Heero was joking around with the young King.
King William merely smiled at Heero in response.
“I actually have a present for you, King William,” Out of sudden, Heero said those words.
King William went with “Ah!”, and he instantly became curious about what present Heero wanted to give him.
“Do you want to see a Dragon?”
As soon as those words came out of Heero’s mouth, King William stared at Heero dumbfoundedly. He was caught off guard.
