Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

In front of a secluded resident, Bai Tian Ming The Emperor Class Hero, Bai Xian Ming The Supreme Guardian, and Bai Shuang Er The Second President gathered.

Bai Xian Ming had teary eyes as he looked at his great-granddaughter and great-grandson that were so excited about their traveling plan.

"Can I follow you guys? I will be lonely here," Bai Xian Ming pleaded toward her eldest granddaughter to join the travel but rejected outrightly, "Nope! You have to fulfill your job as Supreme Guardian, so stay here! Moreover, don't you have a Battleground's tournament soon?"

Bai Xian Ming, Kim Jung-Mun, Old Man Dazekh, and Wu Shitian formed a squad to join an amateur esports tournament. The tournament started next week.

Hearing about the tournament, Heero who was packing their stuff for traveling laughed hard. It was hard enough to turn the old man's face red. As someone who often played with these old men, Heero was clear about their skill.

Their best performance was killing four people, and they did it only once in their time playing the game. So hearing these noon old men join a tournament was so funny for him.

Bai Tian Ming and Bai Shuang Er turned a deaf ear the moment Bai Xin Yue mentioned the tournament. Fortunately, it was an online tournament, so the old men did not need to show their faces.

"Zixin, don't forget to bring a gift for aunt, okay?" Bai Shuang Er squatted next to the excited toddler and whispered. Xing Zixin stopped for a moment before he looked around, looking at his parents to be more exact. Noticing they were far enough from him, he replied with a whisper as well, "In exchange, you have to bring me to the castle to play, deal?"

A shrewd light flashed in the toddler's eyes which was funny to Bai Shuang Er. When work tolled her up, she would always play with her nephew to relieve her stress and it always worked, "Deal," she hooked her finger to the little boy's finger.

After that, the little boy shouted "Yeay!" cheerfully as he ran back toward his father who packed the stuff into the big traveling van. The Van was so big, more like a small house that could be brought to travel around.

The van was of course a custom-made by Tiniman. When the family planned for a vacation, Heero requested a van from The Tiniman. They gladly accepted the request.

The van was fueled with Ki and the first car with no steer. The van could be moved with a mind, using the virtual reality concept where your mind was connected to the van instead of a gaming capsule. The idea worked well as Heero had tested the Van.

While the family was packing the stuff into the van, Butcher Wang and his wife came. Lan Lan was with them, it was supposed to be a family outing but Miao Miao and Myung-Hee insisted on bringing Lan Lan with them.

Butcher Wang was having an unhappy expression. He would be separated from his daughter for a while, but he just could not refuse her daughter's request.

Lan Lan immediately ran to Miao Miao and Myung-Hee. They were so happy and excited about traveling outside.

"What with that long face? You should be happy when your daughter is happy," Heero came to tease the man.

Butcher Wang looked away from his Master as he greeted the Bai Families. Butcher Wang's wife, Wang Mi smiled apologetically to Heero as the latter dismissed with a casual wave.

Soon, the packing was over and it was time to depart. The girls, Moira, Myung-Hee, Miao Miao, and Lan Lan bid their farewell to the elder. Xing Zixin hugged his grandfather and great-grandfather before he hopped into the van excitedly.

"Goodbye, Grandpas~," through the window, the children waved their hands.

*** ***

Seven days later, the van stopped in front of a fort, a base for the heroes in mission or the hunters to stay.

It was Rivera Fort, a fort located closest to the biggest river in Star City's territory. The size of the van caught everyone's attention.

Heero had to stop the van outside the fort as the small gate did not allow his van to enter the fort. He came down with his family and met with the guard, "ID!" The guard demanded his ID Card which was a normal procedure before you could enter the city or even fort.

After checking the ids, the guards allowed his family to enter the fort while Heero stayed behind to proceed with the paper.

This was the seventh day since Xing Zixin experienced the world outside of the city. It never stopped amazed him. Xing Zixin was strolling around with his mother, looking around at the life inside the fort with his curious eyes.

Rivera Fort was to the west of Star City, not the furthest fort from the city, but far enough that a few people would visit this fort. The fort was occupied by the permanent residents who decided to live outside rather than being humiliated in the outer region.

Even after the reform, these people still did not believe the news about how good the city had become. So they remained living in the fort rather than moving to the city.

Han Ying was looking for a store to buy the vegetables for their barbecue. Yes, the family's destination was the waterfall near the Rivera Fort, they wanted to have a barbecue there, enjoying the nice view and the food while at it. They could not bring the vegetables from the city as what they needed was fresh vegetables.

Looking around, three men suddenly blocked the pair of son and mother. Han Ying pulled her son to her back and looked up.

Three men were dressed in leather armor with a dagger on their waist and a bow on their back. Typically how a hunter dressed, these three must be a hunter.

"Well~ Well~ Well~ Look who we have here, a city woman that seems to be lost," the man in the middle grinned while scanning Han Ying from the top to bottom with undisguised lust. They were far from the city and rarely they encountered top-quality beauty like Han Ying. Their desire overwhelmed their reasoning, thinking the fort was their turf so they could do whatever they wanted.

"We are not lost, Uncles. We are looking for a vegetable shop. Can you tell us where the vegetable shop is?" Xing Zixin was not scared of a stranger. Oblivious to their ill intention, the young boy asked innocently.

"Hehe, we know, of course, we know," the man on the left who had a thin frame answered as he smiled lewdly, "Let me guide you to the vegetable shop," the thin frame man tried to grab Han Ying's wrist, but she avoided it easily while taking a step back.

"We don't need your help! Go away!" Han Ying shook her head and told them to leave. Of course, the three hunters would not listen to her obediently, "Kuhuhu… Be obedient and follow us, Woman! If you satisfy us, your son should be safe," the man in the right with a robust build spoke. He pulled the dagger and licked the blade, trying to intimidate the mother and the son, "But if you are resisting, we may spill some fresh blood here,"

"Do we encounter bad guys, mom?" Xing Zixin blinked his eyes and looked up to his mother, "The bad guys in the movie would always act like this uncle. He licks the knife, trying to scare the kids. Does that mean he is the bad guy?" The young Zixin pointed his tiny finger at the man on the right.

The three hunters made a dumbfounded look when they heard what the boy said.

"You are right, these three uncles are the bad guys. Do you know what you should when you meet the bad guys?"

"Stay away from them!" Xing Zixin answered instantly.

He then looked toward the three while shaking his head, "Can you be more creative?" The boy pointed at the robust man, "You should get something new if you wanted to be the bad guys! Stop copying the movie move," he was lecturing the adult.

"Huhuhu, it seems you want a hard…" before the man in the middle could finish, Han Ying kicked him in the belly.

"Urghhh!" The man was sent flying by the kick. He crashed after seven to eight meters. His two friends looked at Han Ying with their eyes widened.

"Or you can beat them if you have grown up like Mom!" Han Ying added a sentence. After saying that, she took two steps ahead in front of the robust man. She kicked the calf, taking down the man. She did not stop there as she punched the man in the forehead.

"Urghhh!" The man wailed while covering his forehead 

Han Ying was not over yet as she glanced at the last thin man. The man's body shuddered under Han Ying's calm gaze. He tried to turn around but Han Ying was too fast for him.

She raised the man by the collar and slammed him to the ground. After the slam, she kicked his crotch.

"Arghhhhhh!" A pitiful scream escaped from the man's mouth while clutching his crotch.

"You can beat them if you have turned into an adult just like Mommy, understand?" Han Ying taught her son.

"Understand, Mom!" The little boy nodded before he turned toward the three hunters who pitifully laid down on the ground painfully, "Hahaha, You are messing with the wrong Mom!" The little boy laughed at the three adults.
