Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Early the next morning, Heero met with Niadin and Ryan White in the backyard of the academy.

He did not know what the old man did but it seemed he managed to persuade Ryan White.

"Alright, he has given the location but I doubt they are still there after a week…" Old Man Niadin was the first one to talk to break the awkward atmosphere between them.

"I know, but if it was a dungeon and they moved it, you could track them," Heero grinned at the old man.

It was Heero's thought. He assumed Ryan White got the bloodline from the Dramonia Land.

"You planned this from the start, right?" Old Man Niadin glared at Heero.

Niadin felt that way. The moment he showed an interest in Ryan White, he felt Heero planning this. Heero cornered Ryan White because he showed some interest in him. Then Heero used Ryan White to acquire his help.

"I planned it but I would really do what I said if you did not promise me anything yesterday," Heero admitted right away with a nod.

Ryan White did not understand the conversation between hence he stayed silent. However, his eyes gazed toward Heero since they met this morning.

"I know it. Alright, are you ready for a trip?" Niadin did not take that as an offense. Helping Heero was one of his intentions, after all. Moreover, he had decided to come out of his nest.

"I am ready anytime, but I am curious how you convince this obstinate and opportunist guy?" Heero glanced at Ryan White.

"I am his Master now!" Old Man Niadin replied with a big grin.

After a few questions to Sun Zhou Yi, he got to know that these two had a conflict because of a woman. So the old man could not help but tease Heero here.

"It will take him thousands of years to beat me still," Heero remained unfazed despite knowing Old Man Niadin's hidden message.

The old man was saying that he was teaching his love rival and told him to be careful. The old man's expression told him that.

"He even got thrashed by my disciple… huhu…"

Ryan White could not help but grit his teeth. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist tighter. The fact that Heero was clear over his family's case did not clear the animosity between them.

'I can beat him and I will… Yes, I can do it… I have a Dragon as my Master now…'

Yes, Niadin convinced Ryan White after he showed his true form.

Old Man Niadin's smile when he heard Heero's words. He could not help but let out a sigh. Even though he never witnessed Heero fight someone with his eyes he believed Heero. He could not refute the claim.

"Alright, stop with the chit chat. You follow me!" After that, Old Man Niadin grabbed Ryan White's waist and shot to the sky.

Without warning or reminded, Ryan White was brought flying to the sky. He did scream but it did not mean he was not scared.

He was scared out of his wits and his eyes turned white for a couple of seconds. Yes, he did not scream because he almost passed out.

When he adjusted to his surroundings, tears swelled up in his eyes. However, he forced himself to hold the tears. It was because he saw Heero's smug face as soon as he opened his eyes.

He did not want to look weak in front of Heero. He held his tears back and tried to look calm as he avoided Heero's gaze. However, he made a mistake. Instead of looking in the opposite direction of Heero, he looked down.

In that instant, he closed his eyes in fear. He was at the height where he would instantly die if he fell. So he was scared as this was his first time flying like this. His body subconsciously trembled and right after that, he heard mocking laughter from the side.

That laughter only made him feel worse. From that moment, he did not dare to open his eyes or even looked at Heero. During the journey, he did not open his eyes until they arrived at their destination.

Ryan White still did not dare to look at Heero even when he was standing on the ground. He was so embarrassed and avoided Heero's eyes.

But of course, Heero also did not pay attention to the ashamed Ryan the moment he arrived. It was an island, an island with just rocks.

Yes, five hundred square meters island with just rocks. There were no trees or creatures around them but rocks and boulders. Not even grass could be found.

"This is the place?" Heero scanned the surroundings with his Mystical Eyes. There was nothing suspicious that could be found with his eyes.

It was just the colorful energy and gray energy around the island was denser. That was what he could only find with his eyes.

An Island in the middle of the sea with a gate to a certain dimension. Too much coincidence or maybe this was a set up that was prepared by the people who manipulated Ryan.

"How did you find this place?" Heero asked Ryan White curiously. This was in the middle of nowhere, he was curious about this.

When Heero asked him out, Ryan White did not want to answer it. However, he realized something when he heard the question.

Yes, how could he come here? This place was basically unnoticed even on the map, so how could he find the place?

Ryan White was in a daze as he tried to figure out the mystery that even himself did not know. He blinked his eyes a few times, thinking hard about this.

Meanwhile, Heero was observing Ryan White from the side. Looking at Ryan White's expression, he could tell even the guy himself did not know the answer.

"It seems the Abyss Parasite is planted in his head before he gets the bloodline," Heero shared his thought to Niadin.

"It seems so, but I am pretty sure it was not Abyss Parasite but some hypnotic technique. The Abyss Parasite needs time to take an effect," Niadin added some missing explanation.

He was trying to tell Ryan White that the enemy had infiltrated his family before he could get the bloodline.

'If it is what actually happened then Heero's investigation most likely true…'

"Then what were you doing in these few years?" Heero turned back toward the dazed Ryan White.

This guy was missing for a few years and bloodline inheritance did not take that long, hence he was curious what Ryan White was doing in these few years.

Ryan White slowly turned his head toward Heero. His movement was quite stiff and he still had the same blank expression.

He blinked his eyes a few times before he shook his head.

"Don't tell me you did not remember anything too?" Heero asked with a surprised expression.

Ryan White subconsciously nodded his head in response.

That was right, for an unknown reason he lost his memories inside the dungeon. He did not remember a single thing but he remembered fuzzy memories of his friends.

Yes, friends…

"My friends…" He mumbled out something but before he could finish his words, Niadin appeared next to him.

He hit Ryan White in the back of his head and the guy passed out.

"The gap of the missing memories are too long…" Niadin cast a pitiful gaze toward Ryan White.

He was a victim of the specter's scheme. He lost his family and now there was a gap in his memories as well, a few years.

Heero had a complicated expression as he looked at the unconscious Ryan White.

But then, he met with Niadin's pleading gaze. Even though there were no words experienced between them, Heero knew what the old man wanted.

His expression turned cold in a split of seconds, "You need to kill me if you want to do that! My wife is not a thing that could be borrowed and I don't have an obligation to help him!"

He could tell the old man wanted to ask for his help. His wife, Bai Xin Yue held a big value in Ryan White's life. She could be a big help to help Ryan White as his family could no longer help him.

"I have crossed the line, I am sorry about that," Old Man Niadin immediately apologized.

Heero's strong stance was understandable to him. He had heard what happened to Heero from Saint.

"Alright, let's finish our business here. I have found a trace of the dungeon here and I have good news for you," Niadin immediately changed the topic.

He then walked toward the seashore and looked down into the sea.

"It seems they moved the gate into the deep sea, do you want to check it out?"
