Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 296: Summon

Bai Xian Ming looked at the other executives, thirteen out of seventeen people voiced out an agreement.

Kim Sunghyon, Wu Shanxi, and Kim Myung-Chul remained silent. Kim Sunghyon actually wanted to raise his hand, agreeing on the proposal.

It was a reasonable proposal for remembering what happened to the kingdom and their city. Expanding SES by sharing the secret technique to detect the dark core inside the specters.

Making SES no longer independent would also consolidate the Hero League's position. Just in case a split of power happened and the second Ranker Alliance appeared. SES should not be independent.

However, Kim Sunghyon decided not to voice out his thoughts. He remembered the instructions of his brother and his grandfather. If the matter was regarding Xing Heero, he was instructed to remain neutral. He had to discuss it back with his grandfather first before the Kim Family could take a decision.

Bai Xian Ming did not refute or reject the proposal immediately.

"Let's wait for the involved party to go back before we have a further discussion regarding this matter. SES is an independent squad, the Hero League can't arbitrarily disband or expand it without the person in charge of SES's consent!"

That was Bai Xian Ming's answer over this matter. He left this matter to Heero, just like the other executives said. If Heero could share the secret technique, it would be highly beneficial to the Hero League.

But he knew it was a pipe of a dream. If these people got the secret technique, they might use it to their own interest. So the old man decided to let Heero solve this issue by himself.

"But SES is a squad under the Hero League's jurisdiction. They use the Hero League's resources, why can't the Hero League take control over the squad?"

Krishna Davale however would not let this matter rest just like that. He voiced his protest when Bai Xian Ming tried to delay this matter.

"Are you illiterate? Don't you sign SES's convention yourself?" Bai Xian Ming shot a glare at Krishna Davale.

SES's convention was proof that SES was an official team under the Hero League. All eleven executives signed the convention at SES's establishment. In the SES's convention, the squad was an independent team under the Chief Instructor's jurisdiction and the Hero League's supervision.

Yes, even though SES was part of the Hero League, the Hero League itself did not have any authority over the squad. If the SES violated the law or abused their power, the Hero League could disband the squad under the agreement of the executives, The Elder, and the Supreme Guardians.

Krishna Davale flinched under Bai Xian Ming's glare. He glanced at Moushe Eghian, looking for help. Unfortunately, Moushe Eghian turned away from Krishna.

Krishna Davale gritted his teeth and braced himself to face Bai Xian Ming, "But SES No, The Chief Instructor Xing abused his authority as the SES's Chief. He used SES to catch the criminal instead of exterminating the specters. It is not in accordance with the SES's purpose to exterminate the specters!"

Bai Xian Ming grinned in return, causing Krishna Davale's body to shudder voluntarily.

"I am hearing it right? Do you say the Chief Instructor abused his authority for catching a criminal? Am I hearing it right, Mister Krishna?" Bai Xian Ming questioned back.

"Before SES, they were heroes, you know that, right? Is it wrong for them to catch those people?"

Krishna Davale only then realized he made a hasty blunder. He lowered his head, not daring to meet with Bai Xian Ming's eyes.

"Then what about the Purple Mountain Tribe's people? They are people we especially hired to hunt the specters, they are not heroes, why did they get involved as well?"

Moushe Eghian raised his voice when Krishna Davale backed down.

'Stupid Krishna! How can you back down so easily!'

Purple Mountain Tribe was not part of the Hero League. They were just like a mercenary band the Hero League hired for a special purpose.

"Hoho, that's interesting! Why don't you ask the Purple Mountain Tribe's Chief directly? He's staying in Xing District! Oh, or you can ask the Chief Instructor, he was the one who ordered them, after all, "

Bai Xian Ming shrugged with a playful smile etched on his face. It was hard to guess what was in the old man's head. He was hard to read and unpredictable.

Before, he looked like someone on the edge, about to burst out in anger. But now he was all smiling and amiably.

With that answer, Moushe Eghian was left speechless. There was no way they could communicate with the Purple Mountain Tribe's Chief. They spoke a different language.

"Also, I am curious! You said we should expand SES and take control over that squad? I agree with the expansion plan, as for taking over, I wonder how are you going to take over the Squad? Even the Hero League has the authority, how are you going to take over SES?"

The smile on Bai Xian Ming's face was getting thicker.

'How silly I am to try to confront these greedy people! Just let him confront them'

As for taking over SES, Bai Xian Ming was not worried in the slightest. SES was an independent squad and Heero at the center of this squad. Most of SES's members were Purple Mountain Tribe's people and his disciples.

Even the Hero League had the authority to meddle in SES's affairs, how they were going to take over the squad? Would Heero's disciples and apprentices follow the executives' order? It was an interesting sight to behold.

"Huh!?" Facing such an issue, Moushe Eghian realized he just made a huge mistake. His job was not to confront Bai Xian Ming but to convince the old man. After convincing Bai Xian Ming, it was Bai Xian Ming's job to convince Heero. The old man was provoking him and he fell for it.

The conference room fell into silence for a moment. Bai Xian Ming placed his hand on the table, he scanned the other executives who kept exchanging a glance. Seemingly communicating through their eyes.

At this moment, Bai Xian Ming's smartwatch vibrated.

Brrt! Brrt!

It caused a little but clear noise in the silent room. The other executives were subconsciously attracted by the vibration and noise. They looked at the old man.

Bai Xian Ming looked down and it was a message for his youngest granddaughter, Bai Shuang Er.

[Sister and Bro-in-law have arrived at the airport!]

The old man's smile became even wider, he waved his smartwatch to other executives.

"The involved party has come back! You guys can summon him if you want to talk about taking over. No matter what I say you guys are not going to listen to me, right? Why don't you call him here and talk to the person directly!"

After saying that, Bai Xian Ming leaned back on his chair, getting a comfortable position to sit and close his eyes.

Just like Bai Xian Ming said, his voice was ruled out by the vote of the other executives. No matter what he said, his voice did not matter at all.

In the end, the executives sent an official e-letter to summon Heero. He was being summoned as SES's Chief, not Chief Instructor.

In the e-letter, thirteen names were signed on it to summon Heero. Just like that, the summoning e-letter was sent to Heero's smartwatch directly.

The other executives were whispering to each other in a small voice. They were discussing how to convince Heero to share the secret technique he taught to his apprentice.

The specters' power alarmed them, and the big forces wanted to create their own SES. A force specialized to fight specters for themselves. Not only that, the Purple Mountain Tribe, but they also wanted to get this tribe under the Hero League's authority so they could work for their own use.

Yes, the seven biggest forces worked together. They tried to use their number to suppress Heero.

Just like that, an hour passed, and the conference room's door opened forcefully.

Bam!

Bai Xian Ming was startled by the noise and looked toward the door. Not only him, the other Executives and Hero Instructors also startled, not expecting there someone would dare to barge into the room rudely like that.

Two women entered the conference room, Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon were the ones who barged into the room. Bai Xin Yue's face was extremely cold and her gaze was bone-chilling. No one dared to meet with her gaze.

Kang Seo-Yeon herself also showed a furious expression. Both women were heading toward Heero's seat, they stood behind the seat and scanned the Executives and Hero Instructors.

"Huh!?" Bai Xian Ming was alarmed. He knew his granddaughter well, despite her cold attitude to the others she was still polite in her manner.

In just one glance, Old Ming knew that his granddaughter was upset, extremely upset to be exact.

'What's wrong?' The old man somehow worried about what would happen next.
