Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 16: Ranker



"Ah, they are harassing Auntie Ying again!" The little girl said in an angry tone.

Heero frowned as he heard the little girl's words. Again. This meant it was not the first time. Heero somewhat angry inside, he never expected the mankind had fallen to this extent.

A group of men harassing a woman in the street openly like this and what made Heero angrier was the fact that no one helped the woman. It was clear there were many people here, but no one talked for the woman.

Heero who was currently somewhat angry inside felt his hand moved. The little girl wanted to break free from his grasp.

"Big Brother, let me go! I will call My Father. They are afraid of My Father!" The little girl wanted to help the woman called Auntie Ying.

Hearing this, Heero smiled and rubbed the little girl's hair, "It's okay, Big Brother will help Auntie Ying."

"Really? But they are five people and you don't have a weapon. My Father is strong and also he has a knife, they don't dare fight My Father!" The little girl seemed to be doubtful of Heero.

"But this Big Brother is stronger than your father!" Heero smiled and walked toward the group.

Before he reached the group, there was a middle-aged man advised Heero to not intervene, "Young man, don't get yourself involved with them, they are not good things!"

Heero knew the middle-aged man was reminding him in kindness. But Heero ignored the middle-aged man and walked toward the five men.

Indeed he was not Hero anymore. However, he just could not watch such thing happened before his eyes. His Grandfather, Father, Mother, and his seven fairy mothers taught him to help everyone who needed help. Especially his Grandfather, he taught him kindness, benevolence, and righteousness.

His Grandfather wanted to him a Great Hero. Now, he had given up to be a Hero, but he could never forget what his grandfather taught him.

"Hihihi, Han Ying, our Boss is interested in you. Follow us and you can have a good life!"

"Right, it's your honor that Boss is interested in you. Why are you so stubborn? Just leave this slum and you can have a good life in the inner city!"

The two men in black leather jacket tried to persuade the woman. However, the woman kept shaking her head, indicating her rejection.

"Big Bro, this b*itch is so stubborn. The soft mean is not working on her, let's just drag her to Boss!" Another man walked toward the woman. He wanted to grab the woman's arm, but there was a strong hand prevented him to touch the woman.

It was Heero. Heero easily got through the five men and shook the hand away. He stood right before the woman and faced the five thugs. Surprisingly, the little girl followed Heero and hid behind him.

"Huh!?"

The five men who surrounded the woman called Han Ying were surprised. The fact there was someone broke through their line without them knowing was surprised them. If the man did not stand before them and shook away one of their friend's right hand, they could not feel the young man presence at all.

"Don't feel you feel any shame to bully a woman?" Heero said it with a strong sense of justice.

Earlier, Heero could not get to see the five men's faces. Now he could get a clear look and he found these five men were weird. At least, this was the first time for Heero to see a man wore many earrings.

For example the man in the middle, he had 15 earrings, gold earrings. Seven on each ear and one on his nose. Moreover, the man had hair with five colors, blue, yellow, red, green, and golden. There was even an earring on their lips on the other men. There was also a hole made of golden earring on the man in his left. The inside part of the hole, there was a golden earring.

Just looking at these people, he felt itchy on his lips, nose, and ears.

"Boy, who are you? Scram if you don't want to die!" The man who his hand pushed away threatening Heero fiercely and licked his lips. He took a dagger from the black leather jacket.

At first, Heero did not want to use violence with these people, but it seemed it would not gonna work that way.

As the thug took out a dagger, the little girl held Heero's thigh tighter. He could feel it and look down to the little girl, "Little Girl, can you close your eyes and count till five?"

Heero did not want to use violence before the kid. It was not good for a little girl like her watching him fight.

The little girl blinked her eyes and nodded her head. Even though she did not know why she was asked to close her eyes and count until five. The little girl obeyed and closed her eyes.

The little girl opened her eyes. Earlier, she heard a weird sound, but she obeyed the Big Brother's words who gave her sweets and refrained herself to see what happened.

As she opened her eyes, she found the five bad men were lying down on the ground. Each of thug held a certain part of their body in pain. The little girl was surprised to see this.

The little girl tilted her head up and found Big Brother also looked at her with a gentle smile. The smile that gave her off a comfortable feeling and security. It was as if there were stars in the little girl's eyes, her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Heero.

The thug with five colors hairs tried to stand as he held his pained belly. Shock and fear could be seen from his look. He realized the young man was not a pushover. Two seconds, in two seconds he and his underlings were knocked down. The young man before him was at least Iron Class Hero.

Even though he was afraid of Iron Class Hero, he managed to calm down as he was not just an ordinary thug. He had a background which was also not weaker than a mere Iron Class Hero.

"D-do you know who we are?"

Heero looked at the five-colored hair thug and shrugged.

"We are from Iron Fist Martial House. Our Boss is Silver Class Ranker, Yan Tie."

The thug explained his background in order to scare Heero. However, out of his expectation, not only the young man did not cower, but exuded a frightening killing intent.

The killing intent that shocked him. The five-colored hair thug fell with his butt down. Sweat poured down and terror could be seen from his look.

Not only the thug, but the woman behind Heero also quivered voluntarily. Even the little girl also could feel it and shook Heero's thigh, "Big Brother, are you okay?"

Hearing the little girl's voice, Heero snapped out from the memories in his mind. When the five-colored hair thug said Iron Fist Martial House, he remembered something that he could not forget. Heero himself did not know why he was so angry over the past.

The killing intent vanished and Heero smiled back to the little girl, "I am okay!"

After that, he shot a fierce glare toward the five thugs.

The five thugs understood the meaning behind the glare. The young man was ordering them to scram. Without hesitation, the five-colored hair thug picked his quivering body up and ran away. It followed by his underlings, they ran away from Heero.

When the five thugs ran away, there was a hand touched his shoulder. Heero looked back and found the hand belonged to the woman he helped just now.

Heero managed to get a clear look at the woman.

'No wonder the bandit's boss is interested in her, '

The woman had long black wavy hair, captivating blue eyes, and snow-white skin. Her body also matured a lot, this was the one called a mature lady. A beauty lived in this kind of place was an easy target for thug or bandit.

However, the captivating blue eyes were dimmed. It showed there was no spirit in those eyes. Heero could see it, this was not the first time he saw this kind of eyes.

Every woman who lost her husband under the attack of Specter would have this kind of eyes.

"Mister, you have to leave here. If what they say is right, you are in danger! Silver Class Ranker, Yan Tie, he will come for you. You have to leave here!" The mature lady persuaded Heero to leave in her kindness despite knowing she was in a helpless situation.

Based on these words only, he knew this Silver Class Ranker, Yan tie was infamous for his misdeed.

"Then what about you?" Heero asked.

Knowing there was a woman in a helpless situation such this mature lady, it was impossible for him to leave her just like this.

Ranker, it was an existence similar to Hero. The difference Ranker worked for money and a certain organization, not under a government. The ranking system was also different from Hero. It was said Ranker was stricter than Hero.

There were seven classes from the lowest started from Amateur Ranker, Iron Ranker, Bronze Ranker, Silver Ranker, Gold Ranker, Crown Ranker, and Legendary Ranker.

Yan Tie was a Silver Class Ranker, it was a middle-tier ranker. Of course, ranker was not immune to the law, but the background behind the ranker was the most troublesome.

Usually, ranker was working for a certain influential organization. This Yan Tie for example, he was working under a big group, Ming Group. Ming Group was quite an influential organization in the inner city.

"What Han Ying said is right. Young man, I advise you to leave this place before too late!"

Heero looked toward the voice and found a bulky man walked toward him. The man apparently lived at the building in front of them.

"Daddy!" The little girl rushed toward the bulky man. The bulky man was the little girl's father.
