Chapter 901: The Bargain-Basement Super Team
Chapter 901: The Bargain-Basement Super Team
Before Hellblizzard could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Night City, who had his own reasons for joining the Hellblizzard Team. It was a decision made under duress, as Night City's true nature was that of a slacker, and he had been seeking an opportunity to leave the team ever since.
Hellblizzard's ambition knew no bounds; she was determined to expand and strengthen the Hellblizzard Team, hoping to surpass her own sister, the S-level Hero. But Night City, being the opposite of her, had always wanted to leave the team.
When Night City flatly refused, Hellblizzard clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. As the leader of the Hellblizzard Team, she was known for her unwavering decisions, and the team members greatly admired and respected her.
However, Night City was an exception. Even when he was just a B-level Hero, Hellblizzard had used various means to coerce and entice him into joining her team, which already spoke volumes about her foresight.
Compared to the other members, Night City was a stubborn rebel, never following the team's arrangements.
If it were any other member, Hellblizzard would have kicked them out long ago, but with Night City, she could do nothing.
The Hellblizzard Team was her creation, formed by gathering numerous B-level Heroes.
Her sister, the Trembling Cyclone, had always mocked them as a ragtag bunch and claimed that Hellblizzard would never become stronger if she continued to associate with weaklings.
Although Hellblizzard disagreed with her sister's words, she had to admit that in terms of reputation and strength, their entire team paled in comparison to a single S-level Hero.
The Hellblizzard Team had risked their lives to defeat a Phantom-class Monster, thinking they would make the next day's headlines and boost their team's popularity. However, they were overshadowed by their sister, who had casually slain a Dragon-class Monster.
For years, the Hellblizzard Team had only one victory against the Trembling Cyclone, and that was during the alien monster Boros' invasion of Earth.
During that incident, Night City, a member of the Hellblizzard Team, fought against the almost God-class Monster Boros. When the event concluded, everyone believed that Night City had defeated Boros.
On that day, the name of the S-level Hero, the White Reaper, spread far and wide, making the headlines and mentioning Night City as a member of the Hellblizzard Team.
The Trembling Cyclone also made the news that day, as she had eliminated a high-ranking member of the Dark Matter Pirate Fleet, a genuine Dragon-class Monster, though not as powerful as Boros.
However, compared to Night City, who had taken down the leader, the Trembling Cyclone's coverage was relegated to a corner.
Although the report on Night City only briefly mentioned the Hellblizzard Team, it was enough to excite Hellblizzard.
After all, this was the first time in a long while that the Hellblizzard Team and the Trembling Cyclone were both in the news, with the Hellblizzard Team taking the spotlight.
The Hellblizzard Team's fame grew alongside Night City's, and their previous composition of mostly B-level Heroes changed. Hellblizzard's reputation and strength had been insufficient to attract A-level Heroes, but with Night City's rise to S-level and his role in saving the Earth, the situation was different.
Many aspiring Heroes sought to meet Night City, but lacking opportunities to do so, they settled for joining the Hellblizzard Team.
As a result, the Hellblizzard Team rapidly gained strength and fame within a short period, and Hellblizzard, as the leader, basked in the limelight.
With the increase in the number and quality of its members, Hellblizzard Team's efficiency in hunting monsters had significantly improved.
However, after a period of time, issues began to surface.
The previous Hellblizzard Team, led by Hellblizzard, a B-Class Hero, was able to maintain order.
But now, with the addition of several A-Class Heroes who were no weaker than Hellblizzard, internal problems arose within the team.
These A-Class Heroes had joined Hellblizzard Team because of the "White Reaper," the famous White Reaper of Yecheng.
However, since their arrival, they had hunted many monsters but never once seen the White Reaper in person.
Understandably, many A-Class Heroes felt deceived, realizing that the tenth-ranked S-Class Hero, the White Reaper, was not a member of Hellblizzard Team.
They had initially joined the team with the hope of improving their rankings and gaining popularity by associating with the renowned White Reaper.
But after all this time, they hadn't achieved their goal, and instead, they had been carrying the B-Class Heroes of Hellblizzard Team. Naturally, these A-Class Heroes became dissatisfied and decided to leave the team.
Seeing this situation, Hellblizzard couldn't remain idle. After all her efforts to strengthen Hellblizzard Team, she couldn't let these renowned A-Class Heroes leave, or her team would be back to square one.
This was why Hellblizzard accepted a team mission from the Hero Association—to protect several high-ranking officials of the Hero Association.
During this mission, Hellblizzard hoped that the White Reaper would show up and make an appearance, proving to outsiders that the White Reaper was indeed a member of Hellblizzard Team.
"Didn't I already tell you before that the one who defeated Boros was that bald guy over there, not me."
Hellblizzard had already heard this from the White Reaper at a previous celebration banquet.
Although she found it hard to believe, as she spent more time with the White Reaper, she gradually realized that appearances could be deceiving, and the bald guy indeed possessed incredible strength.
"The key point is that no one would believe that a monster comparable to a God-Class Monster, Boros, was defeated by a B-Class Hero, a bald-headed hero with a cloak."
When Boros appeared, everyone witnessed the intense battle between you and him. Compared to an unknown B-Class Hero, they would naturally believe that Boros was defeated by an S-Class Hero like you."
Hellblizzard understood that the White Reaper didn't enjoy the spotlight, and he had initially not even considered becoming a hero.
This was why Hellblizzard accepted this seemingly simple escort mission, and the White Reaper only needed to make a brief appearance during the task.
"As long as you agree to show up during the mission, I can treat you to a gourmet meal."
Thinking about the White Reaper's current financial difficulties, Hellblizzard hesitated and offered her proposal.
To be honest, she found herself a bit ridiculous for saying that, as the White Reaper was an S-Class Hero. How could he be swayed by a mere gourmet meal?
"Gourmet meal? How gourmet? Are you sure you just need to show up?"
Hellblizzard couldn't help but curse inwardly, thinking, "Damn, he's easily swayed by such a simple offer. If I had known it was this easy, why did I waste so much effort before?"
