The Heroes Association, the New Heroes Association and the government have been in a lot of trouble recently.
However, King was not interested in the dirty things between heroes at all. After returning home, he immersed himself in the time-travel journey of abusing Boros. After traveling three or four times in a row, he realized that he had received text messages from the association on his mobile phone.
"The association invited me to be a spokesperson?"
After he pondered for a while, he immediately understood that this was to push him out as a shield.
"I bet, the association's calculation is too shrewd, isn't it?"
He was deep in thought and hesitated about the association's proposal. After thinking about it carefully, he decided that if he stepped forward to block the mouths of the government and citizens, there should be no problem with his own reputation. At most, it would only reduce his reputation.
However, he needs to think about whether it is worth it. When he traveled through time, the comic content only dealt with the Monster Association. He had no idea what would happen next, and he did not even know that a new Heroes Association would be established.
It has to be said that the Heroes Association treated him well. When he was not strong yet, the association turned a blind eye to his weak performance and instead kept praising his strength, which moved him deeply.
What's more, if he refuses, the association may be absorbed by the government. He doesn't think it is a good thing for the hero world. The government is controlled by politicians. Once the two associations are controlled, the heroes may become bodyguards of the politicians. , the situation is even worse than when the Heroes Association protects the rich.
Therefore, out of emotion and reason, he should help.
As for the public's misunderstanding of him... it's just trivial.
After all, what the public thinks of him will not affect his future life. At most, he will be less likely to be called 666 in the future.
"Hey, Xiqi..."
After he figured it out, he immediately called Xiqi's number.
"Hey, king, where have you been these two days?"
Xiqi's anxious voice came. After they decided to put King on the table at the meeting, they quickly contacted King urgently. However, no matter whether they came to find someone at home or contacted him by phone, they could not find King's whereabouts.
Faced with the government's aggressiveness and the citizens' ardent hopes, they have been delaying the process on the excuse of "we are considering it" for the past two days and almost failed to get through it.
"Closed."
King was telling lies with his eyes open. Of course, he was not too blind. After all, for him, collecting cards was equivalent to practicing in seclusion.
"I see."
Xiqi couldn't laugh or cry. In the past, they admired King's hard work. However, at the critical moment, they hoped that King would be a little lazy.
"King, do you have time?"
"Of course, I'm free."
King said bluntly: "Are you doing it for the spokesperson?"
"Ahem, king, please understand the association's decision. We have no other choice." Xiqi apologized embarrassingly, "king, don't worry, the association will definitely compensate you in the future."
"Come on, what are you going to do after I become the spokesperson?"
The king curled his lips. Now that power, wealth, fame and wealth are at his fingertips, he wonders what the association can compensate him
"Recently, in order to dig up first-hand information, reporters from major media have been hanging around the association like flies every day, and they are hard to guard against. However, it is now time to take advantage of them. King, if you are free, please come to the association headquarters. We hope to hold a meeting Emergency press conference, you will announce the association’s final decision…”
"Reject the government's proposal?"
king asked.
"Yes, we firmly believe that only an independent Heroes Association can better fulfill its heroic functions. Once the association falls under the control of the government, I am afraid that the heroes will quickly degenerate and become a mess of food, drink, prostitution and gambling."
Xiqi said solemnly.
"What does your seeming madness imply?"
King laughed dumbly. The government in the world of One Punch is indeed quite incompetent. Weird people have appeared for more than ten or twenty years. However, the government has been using the army to put out fires everywhere and is busy running for life. It has never thought of absorbing powerful people from the private sector into government agencies, resulting in Four years ago, the Heroes Association suddenly emerged, stealing the government's limelight and eclipsing it for more than four years.
"Wait for me, I'll pack up and leave immediately."
"Okay, king, please."
"no big deal."
King smiled and hung up the phone.
He briefly washed himself, changed his clothes, then opened the window and rose into the sky, quickly heading towards City A.
…
Association headquarters.
"Dear journalists, after research and discussion, our association has decided to hold a press conference in the lobby of the headquarters later to announce the results of our discussion on the government's proposals. All journalists are welcome to attend... "
Xiqi glanced at the noisy press corps and loudly announced the association's decision.
"Wow, the results are finally here."
"Submission or disobedience?"
"Hurry up and grab a seat."
After hearing Xiqi's announcement, the reporters immediately burst into an uproar and swarmed towards the headquarters lobby.
In the lobby.
The reporters crowded with each other to grab the advantageous position, and set up long guns and short cannons one after another. They looked impatient as if they were all groomsmen entering the bridal chamber.
"Ahem, everyone, be quiet, be quiet!!"
Xiqi calmed the restless hearts of the reporters.
"Very good, here we invite a special speaker from our association..."
He drew out his voice, whetting the appetites of the reporters.
"King!!"
he announced loudly with a smile.
"King?"
The press group fell silent for a moment and looked at each other in confusion.
"High, really high."
"It seems the Hero Association is uncompromising!"
"With the 'king' sign, as long as they don't make mistakes, it seems that basically no one can touch them."
The reporters knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song. When they heard that the association specially invited King as the spokesperson for the press conference, they immediately thought of the whole story. The Hero Association wanted to use King's reputation to forcefully suppress the public opinion of the government and citizens.
Because the citizens owe King too much, even if they don't agree with King's words, they will not choose to oppose it. After all, the hero conflict is just a scandal in the hero world and basically does not affect their lives.
They just couldn't stand the farce of the heroes, so they agreed with the government's proposal.
Thumb thump!
King strolled out from the backstage and smiled faintly in the face of the buzzing sound of taking pictures.
Well, he needs to keep up his appearance in front of everyone.
"Hello everyone, I am king, and I am very happy to be here to meet you."
He calmly followed the script prepared by Xiqi and others: "As for the government's proposal to merge the Heroes Association and the New Heroes Association, our association very much recognizes the government's good intentions. However, after careful consideration, our association finally decided to reject it. The government’s proposal.”
Wow!
The reporters below were in an uproar.
"Sure enough, judging from the association's request for King to come forward, he has made his position clear, and his attitude is very tough."
"Say no to the government, say no to the citizens. Only the king has this qualification in the world of heroes."
The reporters looked as if this was indeed the case, and they were obviously mentally prepared.
"Target found!"
The shadow in the corner of the lobby shook slightly, and the shadow took out a mobile phone and dialed the general's contact number.
Dudu!
A few slight ringings passed.
"Hello, Shadow?"
Chuck's voice came through the microphone.
"Let me tell you, general, welcome to the Heroes Association's press conference. There is a surprise!"
Shadow's deep laughter echoed faintly.
"Um!"
Chuck said succinctly that he understood.
"The show is on!"
Ying squeezed it lightly, and the phone in his hand instantly turned into dust.
"The rabbit is still unaware of being targeted by the hunter. Instead, it enjoys its own carrots with relish. It's interesting!"
He glanced at the king and laughed softly.
"Um?"
King's heart suddenly suddenly suddenly felt a little frightened for no reason.
…
In G city.
"General, Ying sent a message, asking us to watch the Hero Association's press conference. I guess he has already targeted King, and King will appear at the press conference, but..."
Chuck hesitated.
"Haha, I understand what you want to say. It's interesting. Yingke is a killer who believes that 'killing all witnesses is a perfect assassination'. What does he mean by asking us to watch the association's press conference?"
The general's generous back stood tall and straight. He stared at the king talking on the big screen TV in the hall and showed a meaningful smile. "And, if I guess correctly, the number of viewers who watched the Hero Association press conference is probably Very scary.”
"If the madman Ying... wants to kill all the 'witnesses', then will he destroy the world?"
"If Ying really implements his idea of assassination, in this case, he has no choice but to destroy the world!"
Chuck smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect him to be so crazy. No wonder he didn't choose to take action for so long. It turned out that he was waiting for this opportunity. No wonder he didn't accept the money, because to him, money is just waste paper. After all, He has chosen to destroy the world, so the paper money naturally has nowhere to spend."
"Haha, he specifically reminded us to watch the press conference. It seems that we are also his targets!"
The general smiled broadly.
"Let's wait until he passes the king level!" Chuck's face gradually turned cold. "Do you really think we can't deal with him? General, I request that the building's defense monitoring system be activated. As soon as the shadow shows up, we can catch him immediately. His whereabouts."
"I don't think it's necessary."
The general looked at the king's figure on the screen and said with emotion: "For some reason, I feel that he can't kill the king. After all, we have watched the king rise all the way. Who can cause trouble to him?"
"General, you mean... the shadow will die in the hands of the king?"
View was slightly startled.
"Ha, although I really don't want this to happen, I have a vague feeling in my heart that Ying is dead."
The general smiled and said, "It's really embarrassing. I have assassinated the king so many times and never succeeded. It seems that we can only solve the king's threat to our rule openly."
"Open side?"
Chuck mused.
…
"Excuse me, King. The conflict between the Heroes Association and the New Heroes Association is getting more and more serious. What do you think about this?"
Reporters rushed to ask King. After all, King was a world-famous figure. As long as they got some information out of his mouth, it would be enough for them to stop working for half a month and focus on doing nothing.
"Regarding the hero conflict between the Heroes Association and the New Heroes Association, I think the two associations need to sit down and talk..."
King responded in the most official language.
call out!
In the air, a slight piercing sound suddenly sounded.
"Um?"
King's ears twitched, and his heart suddenly trembled. Danger signals frantically warned him, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart.
Uh-huh!
Qiong Tu Dagger appeared, and a dagger suddenly stabbed his neck from behind. The dagger flashed blue, obviously quenched with poison.
"King... Goodbye!"
The shadow's dark figure swayed slightly.
call out!
His short sword penetrated the king's body easily.
"Failed!"
Ying's murmur was a little more unbelievable. The dagger stabbed without any feeling. He knew that he had missed the stab, but King dodged it in almost a few tenths of a second.
"The speed... is amazing!"
He was slightly surprised. His dark figure disappeared into the shadows and disappeared without a trace. The process from his appearance to his departure only took a few seconds.
"Huh? What happened? Where is the king?"
The reporters looked at the king who suddenly disappeared from the podium in bewilderment, because the shadow and king moved very quickly, from the shadow's assassination to the king's dodge, to the shadow's retreat, in just a few tenths of a second. The reporters didn't see what happened at all. They only knew that the king suddenly left the table. They didn't understand the thrill just now.
"Huh?"
Not only the reporters were confused, but the viewers in front of the TV were also at a loss.
"Is there a weird disaster happening?"
They couldn't help but secretly wonder if a strange disaster had occurred somewhere in the world, so King left in a hurry and rushed to the scene to eliminate the disaster without having time to say goodbye.
"this… "
Xiqi and others also looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what happened during this period.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the king has announced the final decision of our association, and other things are just details."
Xiqi thought about it and thought that King's unexplained departure would do no harm to the press conference.
"King's behavior is very strange!"
The child emperor in front of the TV touched his chin and thought, "What happened in that moment?"
"What is that dark shadow?"
The flashing Flash's pupils shrank, and his eyes became more solemn, "Rebel... Kage? It must be him! I didn't expect that he would target the king, and his style of doing things is to kill everyone. What did he mean by assassinating the king at a press conference? Killing all the TV viewers? No, to be precise, he wanted to kill everyone in the world. Is this guy crazy?"
…
"Assassination failed!"
The general looked at King who disappeared from the TV, "King is probably chasing Ying, right? Chuck, do you think Ying can escape King's pursuit?"
"I can't tell, the shadow's concealment method is too powerful, it seems like a lifeless shadow, making it difficult for people to guard against it!"
Chuck thought for a moment and said seriously: "So, I think the king may not be able to find traces of Ying."
"In other words, there will still be a good show next?"
The general laughed, "Interesting, interesting. Our army is almost ready, right?"
"Well! In a while, our legion will shock the world."
"Haha, let the politicians in the government fool around for a few more days. When the time comes, I will prove to them that power comes from the barrel of a gun!!"
The general laughed wildly, "The world belongs to our soldiers!"
