Chapter 236: The Forbidden Secret of Tornado
Chapter 236: The Forbidden Secret of Tornado
The 7th ranked S-Class Hero, King, renowned as "The World's Strongest Man"!
Despite being only the 7th S-Class Hero, this is solely because King does not frequently engage in hero activities.
King's true strength remains unknown, for whenever the Hero Association finds him, all that remains at the scene is an unharmed King and the remains of the monster, reduced to a pile of parts.
So far, only five monsters have met their end at King's hands, but they were all "Dragon-Class Monsters," hence his S-Class Hero ranking.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As Sique questioned, a rhythmic tremor echoed through the meeting room, originating from the body of the so-called "World's Strongest Man."
"Oh, oh, oh, so this is the legendary 'King's Engine'? Seeing it in person is far more impressive than I'd imagined."
When Yecheng first arrived, he couldn't help but notice King, sitting silently in the corner.
Putting aside his true combat prowess, King's appearance alone exuded strength, unlike Baldy's hastily drawn style. With his golden mane resembling a lion's, a resolute and calm demeanor, and three terrifying claw marks scarring his left eye, his intimidating gaze seemed to have a buff effect. Each time he glared at someone, they felt an overwhelming pressure!
"What a nuisance. No matter what, it's probably the monsters who will destroy the Earth. We just need to take them out, right?"
Compared to these trivial matters, I have more important things to attend to!"
Before King could respond to Sique's inquiry, Tornado, already impatient and annoyed, had lost her patience.
She had intended to visit Snowflake to give her a piece of her mind, only to find herself alone.
Through various means, she learned that Snowflake, a single woman, had moved in with Yecheng, which infuriated her.
Had it not been for the impending global catastrophe, she would have taken action as soon as she laid eyes on Yecheng.
Now, the so-called Earth's destruction was merely a prophecy, and there was no immediate solution. Already seething with anger, Tornado decided to prioritize her personal matters.
Noticing Tornado's accusatory gaze directed at him, Yecheng knew things were about to get ugly. He wanted to explain, but the thought of last night's housing contract with Snowflake made his teeth clench.
"I see. No wonder you added that clause to the contract last night. Is this what you meant when you said you'd explained it to your sister?"
Yecheng had anticipated Tornado's potential fury when she found out about Snowflake moving in.
However, Snowflake had assured him that she had discussed the situation with her sister before moving in.
Moreover, when signing the housing contract, Snowflake had included an additional clause.
It stated that during the tenant's (Snowflake's) stay, the landlord (Yecheng) could not evict her for any reason that violated principles, or else he would have to pay five times the rent as compensation!
Clearly, Yecheng realized he had been tricked. He could only blame Snowflake's aggressive financial tactics last night, which had caused him to overlook many issues.
Now, facing Tornado's intimidating presence, Yecheng had two options: confront her or evict Snowflake and pay the fivefold penalty.
No matter which option it was, Night City could only feel a toothache at this moment.
There was no way he could afford the fivefold penalty, even if he sold everything he owned, but if he were to go toe-to-toe with Cyclone...
Although the previous misunderstanding had been cleared up, and Cyclone, knowing she wasn't a monster, wouldn't kill him, it wasn't impossible for her to seriously injure or disable him.
As Night City was at a loss, he scanned the surroundings and spotted Baldy, who was standing idly by.
"Saitama, I've got a great opportunity for you to make a fortune. Are you interested?"
"I'll give you 50,000 yen, and you'll stop that little brat over there. Just say that Blizzard is staying at your place now."
Upon hearing Night City's offer, Baldy's eyes lit up. Although he knew that Night City was notoriously stingy, the fact that he was willing to pay a large sum for his help indicated that the little girl over there was a formidable opponent.
But after a quick glance at Cyclone, Baldy hesitated for only a few seconds before accepting Night City's offer.
In Saitama's mind, Cyclone was probably Blizzard's sister or something. Since her sister had moved out, she was now jealous and acting out.
Although he wasn't great at dealing with kids, the 50,000 yen reward for simply pacifying a little brat seemed like a great deal to Baldy.
"Hey, little brat over there, I don't know if you're Blizzard's sister or what your relationship is.
But now that you're at this age, you need to learn to be more independent and not rely on your sister for everything.
Your sister is staying at my place now, and if you have any complaints, you can ask your parents to talk to me."
Cyclone: (_‼‼‼
Blizzard: (▽｀)
When Saitama pointed at Cyclone and spoke, everyone in the room was stunned.
Even Night City could only silently give Baldy a thumbs-up, indicating his courage, and then quietly distanced himself.
The second-ranked S-Class Hero, Trembling Cyclone, was known for her tsundere and spoiled personality, but she wouldn't normally attack people without reason, unless someone dared to touch her sore spots.
And Saitama had just stepped on every single one of Cyclone's landmines! Firstly, as an extreme siscon, her sister Blizzard was one of her sore spots, and Baldy claiming that Blizzard was living with him was enough to anger Cyclone.
But Baldy didn't just stop there; he also hit another one of her taboos—her age and height!
Just as Saitama was obsessed with his pores, Cyclone had a deep-seated resentment towards her height and appearance.
For certain individuals, a legal lolita was a precious treasure, as they could experience the joy of a petite and delicate body without the risk of imprisonment.
However, the key issue was that every legal lolita had a strong dissatisfaction and resentment towards their petite figures, especially when compared to a voluptuous older sister.
Cyclone's biggest pet peeve was people bringing up her age and petite figure. Saitama's constant use of "brat" and even suggesting she go home to her parents was like lighting the fuse of a powder keg!
"A mere C-Class Hero dares to be so arrogant! With your hero rank, what right do you have to be here?!"
A gust of wind stirred in the spacious meeting room, and a layer of pale blue aura enveloped Cyclone. Suddenly, the furniture in the room defied gravity, floating mid-air.
