Hero League was an association standing alone. Central Government could not meddle in the matter of the Hero League.

Of course, Hero League and Central Government were also working together, they had the same purpose. Protecting the citizens and taking back the land outside.

Hero League was an independent association, but the Central Government and Hero League were supporting each other.

There were twelve executives that managed the Hero League. From the mission, ranking, and more. Everything must gain the approval of these twelve executives.

Park Yong Gi was one of the twelve executives. The men with him were his subordinates in Hero League. Just like he said, he came here to recruit Heero to join Hero League.

The story of a preschool teacher who killed 9 Dark Wolves spread on the internet. Park Yong Gi thought it was just mere hype of the media. However, later he found it was true.

Central Police confirmed the news on the internet, it was true. A preschool teacher killed nine Iron Level beasts, Dark Wolves. Park Yong Gi was still skeptical and checked the proof.

Nine Dark Wolves died without suffering from any external injuries. After a further check, he found the Dark Wolves died from their hearts and skull destroyed.

Park Yong Gi felt he might find a talent after finding the truth behind the Hope Park incident. He searched for more information and found the one who reported this case was Kang Family, Kang Yun Cheol, Crown Class Ranker - Rank 7. There's no doubt this information was legit.

Moreover, this preschool teacher was not registered in the Ranker Alliance. Park Yong Gi also did a quick check on the preschool teacher's background.

Xing Heero was not tied to any Martial House, family, clan, or other organizations. This was good news for him, but he also found something strange. Xing Heero was not registered as a citizen of Star City.

He could not look into Heero's history. It was as if Heero just appeared out of nowhere four months ago. Xing Heero looked suspicious with the unknown background.

However, Heero's suspicious background increased Park Yong Gi's desire to invite Heero to join Hero League. If Heero joined Hero's league, he could keep on a watch of Heero's every action. There was no need to worry.

Without hesitation, Park Yong Gi found Central Police, so he could meet this preschool teacher in the name to record testimony. He should make a move fast, Or Ranker Alliance will make their move first.

This was the reason why Park Yong Gi was here himself. He believed Heero would be honored to join the Hero League with an invitation from an executive like him.

Park Yong Gi maintained his smile, waiting for Heero's answer. In the next moment, however, Park Yong Smile stiffened. Heero rejected him outright.

"I refuse, I have no interest to be a Hero!"

Heero refused his invitation without asking about the details. For example, the salary, the work, facility, etc. Usually, the Hero Candidate would ask this before joining the Hero League.

"Mr. Xing, perhaps you have met the people from Ranker Alliance?"

Park Yong Gi suspected Heero got an offer from Ranker Alliance. In terms of treatment, Hero League would not be able to compete against Ranker Alliance.

If so, Heero's rejection was understandable. However, Park Yong Gi would not give up. Hero League offered more freedom than Ranker Alliance. He could use this to persuade Heero to join Hero League.

Park Yong Go secretly formulated a plan in his mind. But once again, Heero's answer left him flabbergasted.

"Ranker Alliance? Who's that?" Heero asked in confusion on his face. He did not know why this Park Yong Gi suddenly asked this.

"Hun?!" Heero's answer left Park Yong Gi in a loss. The plan that he formulated in his mind crumbled. A brief silence descended inside the room.

After a moment, Park Yong Gi back to his composure and let out a cough, "Ehrm, Mr. Xing, if I may ask, why don't you want to join Hero League?"

"I have no interest to be Hero!" Heero answered straightforwardly.

Ever since he lost the most important person in the Morabaka City incident, Heero decided to retire. He trained further only to kill God Specter, for his revenge.

To be a Hero, one had to be selfless and protect everyone not just his family or the person important to him. He had to save everyone, fighting against the danger, and leaving his closest without his protection to fulfill his duty as a Hero.

This was Hero meant to Heero. Since he lost Morabaka City, Heero could not be selfless anymore. From that day, he just wanted to protect the person he deemed important to him.

"Are you sure? Do you know, how much we pay the lowest class Hero? Wood Class Hero for 5,000 WD per month? It's about six times your salary as a preschool teacher."

After thinking for a moment, Park Yong Gi found Heero rejecting his offer without knowing the treatment Hero League offered to Hero. It was just a possibility, but he tested it out.

"Eh?!" Heero was stunned when he heard Heero's income. He already worked for four months and published books. However, he only managed to gather 8,000 WD so far.

'Bingo!'

Park Yong Gi immediately realized he guessed right upon seeing Heero's dumbfounded look. He already knew that the school paid Heero only 800 WD. If Ranker Alliance had not offered their treatment, then he wanted to use the money to entice this young man.

Fortunately, Ranker Alliance still did not make their move yet. Or maybe they did not have a plan to invite Heero at all. Park Yong Gi delighted inwardly while on the surface, he smiled professionally.

"5,000 WD is for the lowest class. Let's see, you killed 9 nine Dark Wolves which is equal to Silver Class Hero. For Silver Class, Hero League pays them 50,000 WD per month."

However, you have to take a test provided by Hero League to measure your class. If you pass the test with an outstanding remark, there's a possibility you can reach Gold Class directly."

Just a little information, Hero League pays Gold Class Hero 100,000 to 500,000 WD. We will pay Gold Class Hero based on their ranking. Bai Xin Yue's salary is 500,000 WD per month."

Park Yong Gi immediately executed his plan to entice Heero with the money. However, Park Yong Gi felt there was no need to explain Emperor Class to Heero.

There was no way the young man before him could reach Emperor Class with his age. That was why Park Yong Gi did not bother to explain the treatment Emperor Class received.

As just Park Yong Gi thought he had succeeded enticing Heero. Heero was currently thinking about other matters. He never thought to be a Hero again. About the payment, it was so enticing for Heero though.

That was why Heero currently thinking of a way to get that money from Hero League, but he did not want to be Hero. Heero fell into deep thought, he wanted to have cooperation with the Hero League.

Meanwhile, Park Yong Gi was elated inside as he looked at Heero who was in a dilemma. Park Yong Gi thought Heero was currently struggling inside. Park Yong Gi was confident Heero could not escape from his grasp.

"Ah, what about if you hire me as Hero Instructor?"

"Good, let's talk… eh?! What did you say?" Park Yong Gi thought he was misheard. He asked again in the dumbfounded look of his.

"I say, what about if you hire me as Hero Instructor? You only need to pay me 1 million WD per month. I promise, in one year, Hero League will give birth to many Emperor Class Hero."

Heero said it with high confidence and Heero was not bluffing. He was being serious. Even though he was retired, he still could help this world with his knowledge, technique, and more.

After all, he had been trained by Saint for 12 years and 5 years by Specter God and Beast God. Moreover, this was a win-win situation for both sides.

He would earn the money for his dowry and Hero League would grow tremendously by hiring him as Hero Instructor. At least, this was what Heero thought.

Meanwhile, Park Yong Gi was looking at Heero in a daze. He just could not believe what he heard. This meant all of his explanation went naught. The person he tried to recruit never thought of joining the Hero League at all.
