“Yes, that’s right, I’m the one who eliminated that weirdo,” Zhang Bairen replied.
"As expected, I can sense that you are extremely powerful!"
"Martial artist, let's spar sometime!" Saitama requested.
"Of course, no problem."
"But you'd better be careful then, and don't accidentally kill me," Zhang Bairen replied.
"Yes, I'll be careful!" Saitama nodded in agreement.
King, who overheard their conversation, was completely stunned.
A young martial artist can eliminate a Dragon-level monster that destroys a city, but this bald man holding a little girl seems to possess even greater strength.
When did this world become so unfamiliar?
Just as the three were talking, Smiley Superman and Lightning Max, who had made up their minds to come and help, finally arrived at the scene of the battle.
Then they saw the three people on the scene.
No, there should be four people.
Zhang Bairen, Saitama, King, and the little girl.
"That's...? That's King! The legendary strongest man on Earth!"
"As expected, only such an existence could eliminate a Dragon-level monster so quickly!" The two A-class heroes instantly had the answer in their minds.
"Those two people next to him must be innocent bystanders whom King saved, right?" Smiling Superman muttered to himself.
Lightning Max looked at Zhang Bairen and felt that his appearance was somewhat familiar.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this person's appearance closely resembles the face of the elemental giant we just encountered.
"Max, let's go over there and find out what's going on," Smiley Superman said.
"Oh, okay." Lightning Max snapped out of his daze and ran towards Zhang Bairen and the others.
"Hello, we are A-class heroes from the Hero Association."
My name is Smiling Superman, and his name is Lightning Max.
"Excuse me, did you defeat the Dragon-level monster?" Smiling Superman asked.
"Yes, I was the one who killed him."
That dragon-level monster claims to be an envoy of Earth, born from human pollution of the environment.
"His strength is quite good; he possesses a technique that can shatter a city in one strike," Zhang Bairen replied.
"you!?"
Before Smiling Superman could continue speaking, Lightning Max suddenly covered his mouth.
“Respected expert, thank you for your help. I will immediately report to the Hero Association and also help you claim the mission funds,” Lightning Max replied.
Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and different reading voices. The .huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.
“Okay, go ahead,” Zhang Bairen replied softly.
Since there's money to be made, why not take it?
Soon, the Hero Association's helicopter arrived, and Sitch, as a high-ranking official, greeted the heroes with great respect.
Zhang Bairen, King, Saitama, the little girl, and two A-class heroes all boarded the helicopter and returned to the Hero Association headquarters.
A few minutes later, the belated S-class heroes also arrived at the Hero Association headquarters.
Among them was Banggu, whom Zhang Bairen was going to visit.
"Zhang Bairen, a disciple of Master Bomb, possesses S-class hero combat power and may also have special abilities related to thunder and fire."
King, one of the strongest in the world, has killed many Dragon-level monsters.
This being is actually here too.
The nameless bald man, one of the people present, didn't seem very strong, but he had saved a little girl. Sitch mentally analyzed the identities of the three men.
"The three of you, please follow me."
"Thank you for your help in rescuing the people of City A. On behalf of the Hero Association, I apologize for our incompetence and express my gratitude." As a high-ranking member, Sitch was naturally very good at speaking.
His expression was respectful, his attitude was correct, and his words were sincere; no one could find fault with him.
"It's nothing. Faced with this situation, anyone who has the ability will stand up to fight the monster."
Take these two A-level heroes, for example. Even though they knew there was danger, they were still willing to risk going forward.
This is the true quality of a hero.
"I think you've already tried your best, there's no need for an apology," Zhang Bairen replied.
"Well said! Anyone who is willing to bravely stand up to protect others is a true hero!"
This passionate voice almost startled everyone.
It turned out to be Metal Bat, dressed in a gangster outfit, walking up from behind the group.
The two A-level heroes were flattered; they hadn't expected Zhang Bairen to suddenly praise them.
Even Saitama was somewhat moved by Zhang Bairen's words.
As a true hero, Saitama's heart and character are beyond question.
At this moment, Saitama felt an even stronger sense of respect for Zhang Bairen.
"You're right. Everyone who fights to protect the city, the people, and others is a true hero!"
Afterwards, we will provide relief and assistance in the aftermath of this disaster.
Furthermore, the stories of those heroes who bravely stepped forward to protect the people will be reported to the public.
"They deserve applause and flowers," Sitch chimed in.
Behind them, Bang, Atomic Samurai, Pig God, and Tank Top Master all stepped forward.
Bangu looked very pleased. He had heard the conversation and recognized his elder brother's beloved disciple.
The kind old man, with his hands behind his back, moved with seemingly slow steps, quickly surpassing everyone and arriving in front of Zhang Bairen.
"Bai Ren, you did well, and you said it well too!"
"When it comes to teaching disciples, Onii-chan is much better than me," Bang praised.
"What?! This young man is Master Bomb's personal disciple?!"
Atomic Samurai was somewhat surprised. He had heard Bang say that his dear Onii-chan had a gifted disciple who had reached the level of an S-class hero many years ago.
Could it be that the martial arts genius that Bang often mentions is this young man in front of us?!
"Uncle Banggu, it's been a long time."
"It seems you're still in good health!" Zhang Bairen replied.
"Haha, he's still quite healthy."
"By the way, how is Onii-chan? Why did you leave the gym? And what happened this time?" Bang asked.
"Because I have made a breakthrough in my strength, I want to go down the mountain to relax."
My master asked me to stop by on my way to see you and check on your situation.
Also, your master misses you a bit. If you have time, you can come over for a lobster hot pot.
As for the current situation, it's because when I went to find you, Chalan told me that you received a call for help from the Hero Association and immediately rushed to City A.
Without the slightest hesitation, I set off immediately, ready to arrive as soon as possible to offer my assistance.
"As a result, I was too fast. Before you even arrived, I had already dealt with that strange man," Zhang Bairen replied.
