Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life 214 Blood Oath - Part 2

Everyone in the martial hall confused at Heero's words. Including Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue as they did not know anything with the thing called Blood Oath.

Heero never talked about this to them. Even Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata were clueless as Heero never brought this up when Heero took them in.

Curiosity and confusion filled the hall, even the guardian who accompanied the kids became wary at the word of Blood Oath. It sounded ominous to them while the kids were confused.

The martial hall buzzed with many small voices.

"No need to worry, it's just a simple oath!" Hero calmed the masses as he took out a beast hide.

Brown-colored beast hide and there were a few sentences written on it.

As he took out of the beast hide, Hong Yu came in while pushing the trolley. On top of the trolley, there was a stack of the same beast hide.

"No worry, the guardian can read the oath and you decide it after you read the oath!"

After he announced that, Heero motioned Sun Zhou Yi, Musashi Hirata, and Butcher Wang to hand over the beast hide.

There were a few sentences written on it, but to sum it up, the oath was asking his disciple not to do evil and spread his teaching without his consent.

Soon enough, a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties raised his hand, and asked, "What would happen if my son broke the oath?"

Heero wrote the oath, but he did not elaborate on the consequence of breaking the oath. He only wrote if they broke the oath, they would be receiving a divine punishment.

As for what the divine punishment was. Heero did not explain it on the path which led to this question.

"Mnnnn…" Heero held his chin, but he frowned in the end.

"I am afraid you will not believe me if I told you the consequences by my mouth. We need a guinea pig for that…"

He scanned the kids as he said that. His eyes were asking if there were any kids willing to try to take the oath, with a smile of course.

"Do any of you want to try the oath? You only need to print your blood on the oath at the right bottom corner and the oath will be effective?"

Heero's words caused the guardian of the kids to look at each other. They were certainly curious about the oath, but no one dares to volunteer their son or junior to take the oath.

Sun Zhou Yi and the others were also curious about the oath. They wanted to know how effective the oath was.

Only Hong Yu who had a big smile on his face. Only she knew everything behind the oath and kept it for herself.

"So… There's no volunteer?" Heero scanned the kids and a little bit disappointed as no brave kid dared to volunteer.

He was disappointed despite expecting this would happen. He felt trust was the fundamental relationship between a Master and his disciple.

The kids did not trust him, so none of them dared to come up. Just as he wanted to call Xu Lingxun, a boy raised his hand.

Heero brightened up and his eyes immediately shot toward the boy. A golden-haired boy with crystal blue eyes, a foreigner. Not only a foreigner but the boy also had the lofty status, 2nd Prince of the Regal Kingdom, Benjamin Rowland Kingsman.

"I will! I will try the oath!" The boy said it in a strange Chinese accent.

"Prince, you should think thrice! What if he scams you? You can't be careless to agree with an unclear oath!"

A white-haired old man with a butler suit next to the boy tried to persuade the boy. He felt a little suspicious of the oath thing. The old man was afraid of the prince getting scammed.

"Oh, com'on, Old Ben! There's no way he will con all of us! Sometimes you should also watch the news rather than mulling over your works! If it was another guy, he might try to con me, but not this man!"

Benjamin tapped the old man's hand gently as his mouth curved into a handsome smile. Afterward, the boy walked toward Heero with a beast hide in his hand.

Even though the man scammed him, the oath itself was nothing serious. It was something a Knight should do, Knight's Obligation.

Of course, the reason he agreed with the oath was that he wanted to be taught by Heero. The man who trained two Emperor Class Heroes. Not only that but this man Xu Lingxun's Master, he also wanted to be as strong as Xu Lingxun, the boy who thrashed him in the Fighter Anteriority.

As for the oath, he and the oath were on the same path.

"Hello, Master Xing~ My name is Benjamin Rowland Kingsman, I want to be your disciple so… How do I sign the oath?"

Benjamin bowed his head slightly as he introduced himself.

"Hoho… So there's a brave one amongst my new disciples! Good! Show me your oath and your thumb!" Heero asked the beast hide and also the boy's thumb.

The boy handed the beast hide and also his thumb. He completely trusted Heero, not suspicious in the slightest.

The smile on Heero's face became wider as he took the beast hide. Along with that, he also pricked the boy's thumb with his Ki.

Blood flowed out and Heero immediately stamped the oath with the boy's thumb.

As soon as the oath printed by the blood, the beast hide shone in red. It shone brightly under the morning sun and everyone in the martial hall witnessed the scene with their eyes open wide.

They just could not believe what happened. Benjamin also startled as the beast hide glowing in red. He wanted to pull his hand off the oath but failed to do so because Heero held his finger firmly.

The beast hide glowed in red for ten seconds long. After that, the glow died down.

"With this, the oath is effective. If one day, you break the oath, you will be receiving divine punishment!" Heero announced the oath was a success.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

For an unknown reason, Benjamin was getting nervous. But of course, he was also excited, but for now, nervousness dominated his heart.

Meanwhile, the old man frantically ran over to the bot as he called out, "Prince! Prince! Are you okay? Do you hurt somewhere?"

The old man panicky checked the boy's condition. He was scared if something happened and he would be responsible for that if something happened to the prince.

"What did you do to the Prince?" The old man immediately questioned Heero.

Heero merely shrugged his shoulders and answered lightly, "I told you, it was a sign that the oath was effective!"

"Do you know…" The old man was pretty upset with Heero's tone. He wanted to announce the boy's identity to scare Heero but Heero stopped him.

"Stop it! I don't care who he is! If he is here, it means he is my disciple! Here, you follow my rule!" Heero did not back down as he strongly cut the old man's words in the middle.

"Old Ben! Step back!" Benjamin ordered his butler to step back. With the order from his master, the old men stepped back.

"Now, let me show the divine punishment written on the oath! Follow me outside…"

Without caring for the others' gazes, Heero pulled Benjamin outside with him.

Arriving in the open yard, Heero began to whisper something to the boy. The more he heard, the brightened Benjamin's eyes became. He was clearly excited about what Heero whispered to him.

After he was done with Benjamin, Heero called Xu Lingxun.

Pointing his finger to Xu Lingxun, Heero commanded Benjamin, "Tell him what I just told you!"

Benjamin snapped out of his excitement at Heero's command. Somehow, he was quite nervous because of the order and a little bit afraid of the thing called divine punishment. He was a little intimidated.

"Don't worry, you have me here! Divine punishment will not reach you with me here!" Heero assured the boy with a smile.

Slowly, Benjamin approached Xu Lingxun, with a little hesitation, Benjamin whispered something to Xu Lingxun.

Just as Benjamin started to whisper, the sky was darkened. It shocked everyone and they immediately looked up.

The moment they looked, the darkened sky produced a big thunder.

Shinggg!

BALAGAR!

The thunder descended toward Benjamin. All of them were shocked and failed to take cover. No one expected this would happen.

However, Heero flashed next to Benjamin and raised his hand. He received the thunder with his bare hand.

"This is what would happen if you break the oath!" Heero smiled at the people who looked at him with a flabbergasted look and added in a solemn tone, "If you want to back down, now it's the right time!"
