Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 67: Counter-Plan

Yuan Family was one of the biggest families in Star City. There was a fact that known to everyone, the existence of the Central Government and Hero League were under the control of twelve big families.

Feng Family and Yuan Family just two out of the twelve big families. The executives of the Hero League and the officers of the Central Government, all of them were chosen by the twelve families and most of them were the members of these twelves.

That was why Feng Bian said that only he and his family could help Sun Zhou Yi got his achievements back. Complaining to the Hero League was not a good choice, Yuan Family was a force that controlled the Central Government and Hero League from the dark.

Even Sun Zhou Yi complained or even confessed through the Star Web, it was no use. Yuan Family had a vast connection and could easily move masses. They could turn the truth into lies and lies became the truth.

Let alone, there was also an active Emperor Class Hero in Yuan Family. A word from Emperor Class Hero was enough to change the situation.

Without the support of the Hero League or a big family like Feng Family, no one would believe that a Wood Class Hero could stop Level 10 Calamity alone. It was a bitter fact Sun Zhou Yi had to face.

A man without a background like him would have to face a big obstacle to get the promotion. Without joining the big force in the inner region, it would be hard for someone to get promoted to Gold Class and Emperor Class Hero.

In Feng Bian's eyes, Sun Zhou Yi had no chance to redeem the achievement he deserved. Only if Sun Zhou Yi got the help from his family or he had to give up his hard work. Sun Zhou Yi only had two choices.

Feng Bian himself was confident Sun Zhou Yi would agree with his offer. It was a win-win situation for both of them. Sun Zhou Yi certainly promoted to Gold Class while He, his big brother, and his cousin would also get a rank up as well.

As for Heero, he already anticipated that there would be someone tried to steal his disciple's achievement. He already made some preparations for this issue as Sun Zhou Yi's promotion would be a big help to the district. He won't let others steal his disciple's heroic achievement.

However, Heero did not immediately meddle in this matter. He respected his disciple's choice.

Meanwhile, the main character, Sun Zhou Yi fell into silence. Deep inside, he was conflicted about whether to work together with Feng Family or just give up.

As for why he was conflicted, it because he realized this matter would escalate to a conflict between two giant forces between Feng Family and Yuan Family if he tried to grab his achievement back.

However, he also did not want to give up. Even though he had a big heart, he did not want the thing that was supposed to be his robbed by the others. He had undergone a hellish training not to get his achievements robbed by the others.

Indeed, the best choice was to work together along with Feng Family. Talking with the Yuan Family was useless. Yuan Chang already admitted the person in the footage was him, there was no turning back for Yuan Family except for silencing him.

It might endanger the people around him as well if he tried to get his achievement back. After all, if it was proved that the person in the video was him, Yuan Chang would be humiliated. Trying to grab someone else's achievement, it was a disgrace that Yuan Chang would bring with him forever.

Yuan Family's name would be also tainted, it possible that Yuan Family would send someone to kill him.

But He did not want Yuan Chang taking what belonged to him. He needed the third choice, he wanted the achievement without offending Yuan Family. This was the best choice but also impossibility.

At this time, Sun Zhou Yi turned toward his Master with a pleading look. He did not know what to do with this mess. This was supposed to be the heroic deed, he should enjoy this moment, but then he had to face a giant force who wanted his achievement.

Heero also noticed the pleading yet troubled expression his disciple made. With just a glance, he knew what was within his disciple's mind.

"So, you do want to keep your achievement and at the same time, you also don't want to offend Yuan Family?"

Sun Zhou Yi soon nodded his head vigorously, 'As expected of Master, he knows what's within my mind,'

Feng Bian was surprised when he heard this, he glowered at Sun Zhou Yi. Sun Zhou Yi's statement clearly rejected the offer he offered off to Sun Zhou Yi.

However, Feng Bian did not interrupt the conversation between the two. He heard these two were master and disciple, but Feng Bian did not believe it. There was no way a lowly waiter was the Master of someone who stopped Level 10 Calamity.

Even so, he still put a respect stance to Sun Zhou Yi. He did not interfere with the convo between Heero and Sun Zhou as he knew if Sun Zhou Yi wanted to redeem his achievement back, he had to offend Yuan Family. Without them, Feng Family, Sun Zhou Yi had no chance to win against Yuan Family. There was no other way except for accepting his offer.

"You can't! If you don't want to offend Yuan Family, you have to give up to get your achievement. If you want to get the achievement, you have to offend Yuan Family, there's no other way."

Sun Zhou Yi scratched his head as Butcher Wang nodded his head in agreement. Butcher Wang looked at Feng Bian and looked back at Sun Zhou Yi. He could tell from Sun Zhou Yi's expression, he did not want to give up about his achievement.

He approached his wife and whispered in a low voice, "Take the girls to our home."

The atmosphere was a bit tense when the talk reached the part of the offending Yuan Family. The girls grew nervous as no one did not know who's Yuan Family was. There was an exception though. A person who did not know Yuan Family and that person was Heero.

Yuan Shou Wen, the head of Yuan Family, an Emperor Class Hero - Rank 6 and people called him Invincible Lord as he never lost in a fight. There was a rumor said Emperor Class Hero - Rank 3 was defeated by Yuan Shou Wen.

The reason why Yuan Shou Wen was in rank six despite being stronger than the rank three, it because Yuan Shou Wen did not have enough achievement to climb the rank. Rank did not determine who's stronger and who's weaker. Of course, it was merely a rumor.

However, even though it was merely a rumor, everyone knew about it. Some people believed it and some people did not.

Offending Yuan Family was the same as offending Invincible Lord, Yuan Shou Wen. That was why the girls grew nervous.

Wang Mi nodded and turned around. She tried to be as calm as possible, trying to hide her nervousness, "Hong Yu, let's talk about the nursing home in my place."

The girls of course knew the meaning behind Wang Mi's invitation, it was to give the men space to talk.

Hong Yu cast a concerned look towards Heero, but Heero returned with a reassuring smile. The girls followed Wang Mi to her place, leaving Heero, Sun Zhou Yi, Butcher Wang, and Feng Bian inside the shop.

Butcher Wang knew that his Junior Brother wanted to get the achievement back. The only way with the help of Feng Family, it was the only way.

Sun Zhou Yi also knew Butcher Wang's intention, he let out a sigh and sat next to Heero.

After a while, the smile back to Feng Bian as he sat across to Heero and Sun Zhou Yi. He knew that this was going to be the real talk between them.

"Master, What should I do?" Sun Zhou Yi asked in a defeated tone as he was truly afraid of the Yuan family.

Even though the current him could stop Level 10 Calamity. However, he felt he was still far compared to the Emperor Class Hero.

"Just do what you have to do! What are you afraid of? You have Hero League on your back. There's no way Yuan Family could topple the Hero League by themselves, right?" Heero shrugged. He also did not want his disciples to suffer the same fate as him.

Butcher Wang had a dumbfounded look as he heard the nonchalant answer. The same for Feng Bian, he already told that Hero League would able to help.

Then Butcher Wang realized Heero did not know who Yuan Family was. For a man who did not know what chopsticks were, it was normal if that man also did not know Yuan Family.

Butcher Wang told Heero the force called Yuan Family. The big families that controlled the Central Government and Hero League.

"Then you should quit from the Hero League and join Ranker Alliance, they are quite loyal to their members it seems!" Heero suggested indifferently. It was as if he did not consider the big families at all.

Feng Bian stunned at first, but then he shook his head and remarked inwardly, 'Ignorant!'

Then he turned toward Sun Zhou Yi and said, "If you are afraid of Yuan Family will touch the people around you, then you don't have to worry. Feng Family will protect your people. As long as you join Feng Family, Yuan Family won't touch your people!"

Feng Bian explained another point plus by working together with them and revealed his other purposes. It was to rope Sun Zhou Yi to be Feng Family's member.

There was a hidden intention why he wanted to get Sun Zhou Yi. It was the secret of Sun Zhou Yi holding on. Three months ago, this Sun Zhou Yi was merely a Wood Class Hero, but in three months, he could stop Level 10 Calamity alone. There must be a big secret behind this and he wanted to dig this secret out.

However, to his surprise, Sun Zhou Yi ignored him, "But Master, I still want to be a Hero."

"Are you stupid? You said it yesterday, you are still a Hero with or without the Hero League. So what are you worrying about? Just join Ranker Alliance, Ranker is just your profession to earn money for you get married and feed your family later. You are still a Hero as long as you act as one, protecting the people."

Moreover, the one who should be worried is the Hero League, not you. I wonder if they can afford to let go a Hero who stopped Level 10 Calamity to join Ranker Alliance,"

Heero voiced his thought. This was the reason why Heero so confident that Hero League would take on Sun Zhou Yi's side. They could not afford to lose the future of Emperor Class Hero.

Hero League had to keep the balance between them and Ranker Alliance who had more Legend Class Rankers. He knew this matter from Park Yong Gi's mouth, an executive of the Hero League.

"So, if the Hero League ignores you, you quit from the Hero League and join Ranker Alliance. As long as you show the technique you used against the beast horde to them, I believe they would take you in and you will at least reach Gold Class Ranker with your achievement. If you are part of Ranker Alliance, Yuan Family does not dare to mess around you. Am I right, Brother Feng?"

It was an easy solution and Yuan Family would not dare to mess against the member Ranker Alliance. Of course, this was just a bluff to scare Feng Bian and the Hero League. Just like he said, the Hero League could not afford to lose someone who had a big potential to be an Emperor Class Hero.
