"Saitama, what great news!"
In the Imperial Apartment, King congratulated Saitama, "According to the latest news released by the Hero Association, because you helped eliminate the Monster Association, successfully took down the Fat Killer Group, and assisted in killing the ghost-level disaster monster Hartolino... the accumulation of credit Come on, you have successfully become an A-level hero and are currently ranked 37th among A-level heroes..."
"Oh, have I been promoted to an A-level hero? In this case, I will be closer to the hero rankings of Genos and King!" Saitama perked up and said with full energy: "Very good, keep working hard, I also want to be promoted to an S-class hero, but I can’t fall too far behind you, King.”
"This is a moment worth celebrating, I decided to host a hot pot banquet for you!"
"Eh? It's just a promotion to an A-class hero. Isn't it necessary?"
Saitama shook his head nonchalantly.
"Hey, Saitama, I'm afraid you don't understand the association's policies. Since the new headquarters was established, the association announced a rule that all A-level heroes can apply to stay at the association headquarters for free. In this way, your housing problem will be solved. ”
King told Saitama the even greater good news, "So, it's a double blessing for you."
"free?"
Saitama's whole body trembled, his eyes widened, "Really
King smiled and said: "Of course it's true. If you don't have any objections, I will help you apply for move-in tomorrow. You can check in the day after tomorrow!"
"Haha!" Saitama's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Call Mr. Banggu, Genos... well, there are just so many people here, let's have fun tonight!"
"Eh? I have a big question... Are there any supermarket sales near City A?"
“…”
In the evening, King and Saitama bought a lot of expensive beef, lobster, tuna... Chinese cabbage, and invited Genos and Bongu to celebrate Saitama. Genos expressed support for Saitama's move into the headquarters, and by the way, he also made it clear that he would apply to move in. Association headquarters.
The next day, King helped Saitama submit an application to Xiqi. Because Saitama had clearly been promoted to an A-level hero, the application process was very fast. It didn't take long for the association to successfully confirm Saitama's admission application. Saitama received After receiving the occupancy permit, you can move in immediately.
The buildings provided by the association are boutique houses that are specially sold to outsiders. You can move in with just your bags, but you need to buy some household appliances yourself, such as refrigerators, TVs, microwaves, etc.
The first floor of the building is free for heroes to live in, while the floors above are for sale. Because it is located at the headquarters of the Heroes Association, and the downstairs is the residence of powerful figures like A-class heroes, so even if the building is relatively expensive, the supply is still in short supply. There was a buying trend in the market. Many insecure wealthy families bought the property and prepared to move their families into the headquarters of the Heroes Association. Unknowingly, the headquarters of the association had become a refuge for the wealthy.
To put it simply, Saitama and other A-level heroes have transformed into security guards and bodyguards for the rich people upstairs, which is also a major selling point of these buildings.
…
G city.
The seat of the world government. However, since the establishment of the Heroes Association, the reputation of the Heroes Association has become increasingly strong due to the heroes saving citizens from the threat of weirdos, while the government's presence has gradually declined. The army, police... have all become heroes. Association foil.
As a government, they are naturally not willing to sink into this. When the Heroes Association's reputation is at its peak, they choose to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity. Recently, because the Heroes Association responded too slowly, City A, City B, City D, City J, City Y, Cities such as Z City have suffered devastating damage one after another, severely damaging the reputation of the Heroes Association, and the people's confidence in the Heroes Association has gradually shaken.
The government seizes the opportunity and sends out eloquent personnel to lobby the powerful people scattered among the people, such as the newly-rising Self-Defense Forces, Raiden Yokozuna, who has won more than 700 consecutive Super Sumo tournaments, Jeff, the former S-class bounty prisoner, Piccolo, a martial arts genius and idiot who acts as a weirdo and acts as a hero... has recently welcomed another heavyweight - the "weirdo" who once caused the Hero Association a headache.
Gather together many powerful people and use the credibility of the government to create a new heroic organization...
"New Heroes Association?"
In the grand hall, luxurious decorations, and in front of the huge and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, a tall and mighty figure stood tightly, staring out the window with sharp eyes. He was wearing a heavy and majestic military uniform, and his chest was covered with various medals, representing his past. illustrious military exploits.
"Oh, these government politicians... are still playing with their usual balancing methods at this time, trying to make the Hero Association and the New Hero Association reach some kind of balance. However, they are adjusting in the middle to take back their power? Stupid, expect them to pull the trigger. To overthrow the Heroes Association is like expecting them to serve the people, they are a bunch of ridiculously incompetent worms."
"General, politicians cannot be counted on, but their existence can be used as a stir-up to stir up the current situation and undermine the prestige of the Heroes Association, which will be beneficial to our actions in the near future."
Behind the general, a middle-aged man wearing a suit, white gloves, and meticulously combed hair smiled slightly.
"Well, let the incompetent guys in the government cause trouble, and it will serve as an appetizer for our future plans." The general said slowly: "By the way, Chuck, I heard that the Fat Fat Killer Group has all invaded. In jail?"
Chuck smiled slightly, "Yes, they failed to assassinate the king, but the police discovered and arrested him."
"Ha, they are a bunch of trash again. Sure enough, expecting trash to do something is a waste of precious time." The general snorted coldly, "Chuck, didn't you go to contact the killer who is known as the number one killer in the world? What was the result? Already?"
"This... I can't find anyone at the moment."
The general looked sideways at Chuck and said in a deep voice, "Can't find it?"
"Yes!" Chuck sighed slightly, "This man seems to be a legend. No one has ever seen him, and no one knows how to contact him..."
"You're looking for me?"
At this time, a faint voice sounded.
"who?"
Chuck shouted.
"I."
"film?"
The general turned around with interest, "Unbelievable sneaking in."
"Knowing that my codename is Shadow, you can't guess how to contact me..." A cold voice echoed in the vast hall, "As long as there is a shadow, I exist."
"shadow?"
Chuck stared at his reflection.
The cold voice continued, "Assassination of the king... I have accepted this task."
"How much do you need?" Chuck said, "We can definitely afford it."
"Money...hehehehe!"
A series of sneers continued to echo, and after a while, Chuck's shadow flickered slightly, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
"General..." Chuck frowned, "What does he mean?"
"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing."
