After the Hero Association confirmed that he had killed the King of the Underworld, Yezai's cell phone immediately received a large sum of money for his efforts.
Needless to say, he had to play the collector's edition game that King had just bought.
Later on, in order not to eat bean sprouts with Baldy and the others, Yezai went to the supermarket and indulged in a long time.
In the evening, Baldy and Genos finally returned. They arrived just in time for dinner …
Baldy looked at the boiling hot pot on the table and the high-quality meat on the side. His eyes lit up and he sat opposite Yezai as though no one was around. He was ready to start eating.
"King didn't ask you to stay for dinner?"
Yezai was already used to Baldy's shamelessness. Even though the corners of his eyes were twitching, Baldy pretended not to notice.
"Because he lives alone, he only prepared food for himself …"
As Baldy spoke, he quickly devoured the meat in the hot pot and used other topics to divert Yezai's attention.
"I think King won the competition with his own strength."
Baldy's words didn't surprise Yezai at all.
Clearly, Baldy had been tortured to the point of doubting life at King's house with just one finger.
"Yezai, you probably know that, right?
That's why you chose to take action at that time. I remember that you're not a busybody. "
Halfway through the conversation, Saitama suddenly stared at Yezai and said something that confused Genos who was beside her.
"Who knows?
At least I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Besides, I received a large sum of money. "
Yezai knew that Baldy was talking about King's strength, but he had the same thoughts as Baldy. He had no intention of exposing King.
He was not a busybody and King was indeed the "strongest man on the Earth". At the very least, he had crushed Baldy with just one finger.
Baldy heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the meaning behind Yezai's words. He was still hoping that King would teach him how to play games and he did not want to ruin their newly established relationship.
As everyone knew, Saitama and Yezai's gaming skills were on par with each other. Although it was said that they were evenly matched, they were actually noobs.
Their game record had gone from 49 wins, 49 losses, and 2 draws to 198 wins, 198 losses, and 4 draws. Both sides were evenly matched.
However, Baldy felt that he would soon be able to crush Yezai because he had discovered a big shot today. Furthermore, this big shot had promised to teach him some unique skills.
Elsewhere, the Hero Association was in an awkward situation of lacking heroes due to the recent frequency of strange people.
Several directors of the Hero Association were holding a meeting. Someone proposed lowering the standards of the Hero assessment to allow more people to register as Heroes.
However, there were also some directors who objected, claiming that this was not important. Not only would it not be able to deal with those strange people, but it would also cause most people to lose their lives for no reason.
In the end, the directors unanimously decided to use the criminals. As long as they could deal with the monsters, other than helping them clear their names, they would also receive a handsome reward.
And this matter was handed over to Sitch to handle.
And in order to suppress these criminals, Sitch cadres specially dispatched three A-class heroes to suppress the situation.
And unfortunately, Fubuki, who had recently been promoted to an A-class hero, was one of the three A-class heroes to suppress the situation.
Due to Yezai's recent outstanding performance, Fubuki's team had recently become famous.
Furthermore, Fubuki was Tatsumaki's younger sister and Yezai's elder sister. Furthermore, her strength had recently increased greatly. Therefore, she was entrusted with this mission.
If it were any other time, Fubuki would often leave a message for Yezai when she was out on a mission. This was because Yezai had specially instructed her to do so.
Yezai did not wish for a situation similar to the King of the Deep Seas to happen. Therefore, he had specially instructed Fubuki to inform him if she wanted to deal with any strange people at the Demon level or above.
However, as they were not dealing with strange people this time, they were only deterring criminals. It was even uncertain if a fight would break out. Therefore, Fubuki did not leave a message for Yezai.
In fact, if the people who came were ordinary criminals, the three A-class heroes would indeed be able to suppress them.
Especially Fubuki. If not for the goalkeeper, Sweet Mask, she might have already reached the level of an S class.
However, among the criminals gathered by the Hero Association, two of them were no ordinary people.
Among them, Sonic was still alright. He was only here to seek revenge on Baldy and Yezai. However, he left immediately after learning that the two of them were not here.
As for Garou, he was here to wreak havoc from the very beginning.
After Garou arrived, he first mocked the Hero Association before he began a massacre. He also declared war on all the heroes in the Hero Association.
As for the A-class heroes, Magic Trick Man and Blue Fire, who had been summoned by Sitch to hold the fort, they were instantly killed by Garou in a few strikes.
As for Fubuki, due to her increased strength, she was able to put up a good fight with Garou in the beginning. However, due to the limitations of the environment and the exhaustion of her Psychokinesis, Fubuki was ultimately defeated by Garou.
However, just as Garou, who had blood on the corner of his mouth, was about to deliver the finishing blow to finish Fubuki, a shadow saved the exhausted Fubuki from Garou's Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
And the person who had saved Fubuki was none other than Sonic, who had returned!
Sonic had been watching the show from above. As for stopping Garou?
Don't be silly. That was something a hero should do. He, Sonic, was not a so-called hero.
Sonic did not wish to clash with Garou either. He was a ninja. He would only kill for money, so there was no need for him to fight to the death with Garou.
As for why Sonic saved Fubuki, the reason was very simple. It was because he knew that this woman was Yezai's elder sister.
It had nothing to do with Baldy that he could not find Yezai. As long as this woman was in his hands, Sonic was not afraid that Yezai would not come knocking on his door.
"You must be Yezai's friend, right? I was also saved by you the last time. Now, you have saved me once again."
Fubuki looked at Sonic and mistook him for Yezai's friend. Back when King of the Deep Sea happened, Sonic had also gotten her to help deliver a letter to Yezai …
"Stop joking. Who's friends with that fellow? You should be able to contact that fellow, right?
Immediately give him a call. Tell him to come to this forest before the sun sets. If not, let him collect your corpse! "
Ever since Sonic was defeated by Yezai, he had been training hard in the mountains for months. Now, he could finally wash away his disgrace!
When Yezai received the call, he was completely dumbfounded. Fubuki was kidnapped by Sonic?
Yezai threw the game controller in his hand and jumped out of the window without saying a word.
"Yezai, I should have won this round. Don't think that you can go back on your words just because you pretended to be busy!"
Saitama, who had been fighting with Yezai like a chicken, shouted in displeasure when she saw that Yezai was about to win.
