Unfortunate Heros Retirement Life - Chapter 322

“Abyss Parasite?” Heero asked out instantly. He never heard of this parasite before.

“Tsk,” Niadin clicked his tongue, “How could a Saint’s disciple does not know Abyss Parasite,”

Heero merely shrugged his shoulder lightly. His purpose in following his Master was to avenge his family. He dedicated his life to fighting the specters until he lost his loved ones once again.

Except for the specter’s knowledge, he had little information about the other races. He did not mind being mocked for that.

“But it’s normal if you don’t know this parasite as well. This Abyss Parasite is extremely rare. In my thousands of years of life, this is my fifth time encountering Abyss Parasite,”

Niadin placed his hand on Ryan White’s head.

Then his hand passed through the head. He pulled out his hand as soon as his hand entered. When he pulled his hand out, there was a round black thing with many hairs.

Niadin looked closely at the black thing. He pressed it a few times to feel the texture. From the look of it, the black thing’s texture was similar to the jelly.

“Hoo… It’s an infant parasite, fortunately,” Niadin relieved as he looked down at Ryan White again.

“Who is he to you? Your another disciple?”

“Nope, we just met recently and we fought once. That’s it, I don’t have any relationship with this guy,” Heero shook his head, “What’s wrong?”

Niadin showed the dead parasite to Heero and explained, “This parasite has a huge effect on our mind. There’s a technique to control the parasite and the parasite’s owner could use the parasite to manipulate people through the parasite!”

“Fortunately, it’s an infant parasite so it could not take control of this guy completely. The parasite could only mildly affect this guy in its infant state. Like controlling his emotions to do something… Yeah, something like that,”

“Then the one who gave him the bloodline is the culprit, right? They gave the bloodline to him and at the same time, they also put the parasite into him so they can control him. Just like you said, those nasty crows won’t inherit their bloodline to a human they look down,”

Heero guessed from this little information he had. But it would be hard to find the culprit except for Ryan White to say it by himself.

“Then we will know the culprit from his mouth. Fortunately, I did not kill him by accident,”

“It’s probably what happened but I am not sure if we can dig information from his mouth. I told you earlier this Abyss Parasite affected his mind and he may suffer amnesia after you killed the Parasite,” Niadin shook his head and explained.

“So we will wait for him to wake up then…”

That was the only choice for now.

Ryan White just came back after a few years wandering around outside. No one knew where he went to so it would be hard to track his whereabouts in the last few years.

“But there is no harm for trying…” Heero muttered in a low voice and went out of the dungeon.

He texted Luo Wei Chun, the ex-SES Team Leader to search for Ryan White’s track before coming back to the city. After that, he went back to the dungeon and met the surprised Niadin.

“I thought you were going to leave this old man after you got what you want,” Niadin snickered at Heero.

“Nah, I was so busy lately and could not accompany you to chat. Don’t sulk like that, Old Man,” Heero returned with a big grin as he sat next to the old man.

He tried to snatch the snack but Niadin acted faster hiding the snack from Heero.

“Tsk, stingy,” Then Heero looked toward Sun Zhou Yi. In his current state, Sun Zhou Yi should not be able to hear his voice.

“How is he?”

“Just like you said, he is talented and has a strong will. He never complained even once since the start of the training. I don’t regret letting him inherit my bloodline,” Old Man Niadin replied as he threw a potato chip into his mouth.

Just like that, both were having a long conversation for hours. Heero looked at his smartwatch and looked at the unconscious Ryan White.

“I will leave him with you so you can have more people to chat,” He pointed to Ryan White with his index finger.

“But please call me if he wakes up,” Heero added as he headed toward the exit while waving his hand toward the old man.

“Tsk, who do you think I am? Your servant?” Old Man Niadin clicked his tongue as he grumbled in a low voice.

“Don’t worry, Old Man. I will call Master if he wakes up,” Sun Zhou Yi replied to the Old Man Niadin.

“Tsk, simping for your Master? Go simp all your way! We are going to start our routine!” Annoyed, Old Man Niadin stood up and tried to punish Sun Zhou Yi without giving him a break.

“What!? Simping? Where did you learn that, old man?” Sun Zhou Yi was shocked when he heard that.

*** ***

Heero was walking leisurely toward the exit. Soon, the gate came into his sight. When he was about to pass the gate, Bai Xin Yue came in.

She was flustered and seemed to be in a rush as she came in. It could be seen from her red face and ragged breaths as if she had been holding her breath as she rushed here.

Heero was surprised by his wife’s sudden appearance. The same for Bai Xin Yue as well, she was surprised to see Heero here.

“Bad! This is bad!” Bai Xin Yue did not bother to stabilize her breathing as she said that.

Badump! Badump!

Heero sensed a bad premonition here when his wife said those words. He was alarmed but he stayed still, letting Bai Xin Yue finish her words.

“The White Household… All people of the White Household were murdered last night!”

Heero was relieved when he heard those. He thought something happened to his family or the city was attacked.

“Take deep breathing!” Heero instructed Bai Xin Yue, “Exhale it slowly, repeat that once again,”

Bai Xin Yue did as per Heero’s instruction.

“Good! Tell me more while we go to the crime scene,”

Heero and Bai Xin Yue went out of the dungeon as Bai Xin Yue recounted what happened to the White Household.

It was fifteen minutes ago, the security guards that guarded the perimeter of the White Household residence went back to change shift and found out all people were dead in the residence.

It was said that all people including Mayor Melvin died with their bodies split into two or got their heads beheaded. From a quick investigation from a team of the Hero League, they found out it was a one-sided slaughter. There was no trace of resistance and Mayor Melvin was found on his bed. He was killed while asleep.

It was the information they had for now. Heero nodded his head as he got into his car. Kang Seo-Yeon was already sitting in the driver seat. As soon as the two entered the car, Kang Seo-Yeon drove the car.

“Hmmm…” Heero rubbed his chin as he recalled what happened to Ryan White and his conversation with Niadin about Abyss Parasite

There was no way Ryan White would willingly get an unknown creature planted in his head. It was either he was forced to or the culprit planted the parasite sneakily.

Heero was more leaning to the latter and the culprit must be someone close to Ryan White if it was the case.

He then looked toward Bai Xin Yue. He wanted to get to know all the members of the White Household. However, his wife was staring at him worriedly for some reason.

“What’s wrong?” Confused, he asked out.

“Don’t you read the forum? Many posts are saying you are the culprit, the murderer,” Bai Xin Yue was afraid Heero got affected by rumors like that.

“Do you believe them?”

“Of course not!” Kang Seo-Yeon answered aloud while Bai Xin Yue shook her head.

“You have no reason to kill them,” She added afterward.

“Right? So what are you worried about then?” Heero smiled.

After assuring Bai Xin Yue, Heero asked the data about all members of the White Household.

What happened afterward was Heero inspected the gory crime scene. There was no trace of battle, there was no clue or so whatever could be found inside.

After inspecting the crime scene, Bai Xin Yue approached and whispered, “The reporters ask you for a conference,”

Heero nodded, “Let’s do that,”

After that, Heero went to the Hero League HQ for a conference. All people of The White Household were murdered, it certainly caused an uproar and gave people insecurity about their safety. He had to step out and calm the masses.

“Ah, please investigate all members that have close ties to Ryan White. All of them, their backgrounds, and everything about them,” Heero told Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue before he faced the media alone.

As soon as he entered the conference, a series of cameras flash flashed. The reporters were taking his picture of entering the conference.

Heero maintained his composure and sat on the prepared chair. He sat alone and faced dozens of reporters. No one accompanied him as it was an emergent conference.

As soon as he sat, a reporter stood up, “President Xing, what is your thought about the accusations against you on the forum?”

After the first reporter, another reporter stood up, “Did you kill all members of the White Household because of your conflict against Ryan White!?”
