Chapter 902: Hellblizzard's Swift Arrival
Chapter 902: Hellblizzard's Swift Arrival
"Premium cuisine... Wagyu hotpot, premium sushi, or top-tier grilled meat?"
As the bald man beside her mumbled about the names of dishes, Hellblizzard, who had promised high-end cuisine in Yecheng, felt a surge of pride. "Hotpot and sushi? Those are not considered premium cuisine. I, Miss Hellblizzard, am offering something even more luxurious."
Hellblizzard wasn't lying about this; she was always one to care about her image.
Even with the strained finances of the Hellblizzard Team, they couldn't skimp on luxury cars for transportation, and Hellblizzard herself only used the most high-end and luxurious items.
In short, the Hellblizzard Team might be lacking in other areas, but they couldn't afford to lose face when it came to appearances and aura. Otherwise, they would be looked down upon by others.
"If it's just a matter of showing our faces, can I tag along too?"
The bald man, still speaking earnestly, was kicked away by Yecheng before he could finish his sentence.
"Damn, you're talking about sharing the beauty equally, but you're shamelessly trying to mooch off us. With that bulbous head of yours, how dare you call yourself handsome!"
"You don't know anything. It's because I'm bald now that you can match my looks. If I still had hair, someone with your looks would feel inferior just by looking at me."
Several dozen minutes later, the four from Z City, originally in Yecheng, had arrived in D City.
Upon reaching D City, Hellblizzard took out her phone and contacted her Hellblizzard Team members.
"Lily, we've arrived in D City. Report your current location."
"Okay, I understand. You're at the Game Mall, right?... Mhm, we'll head over immediately."
Hearing Hellblizzard's conversation with her team member, Saitama, standing beside Yecheng, nudged him with his elbow. "That Game Mall they mentioned, is it the one we're going to today?"
"It's probably right. Since we're in D City, there's only one large-scale game mall."
"In that case, after we show our faces, we can also attend the game launch event. I heard the organizers are holding a competition, and the champions will receive a substantial cash prize."
Indeed, Yecheng and the others hadn't anticipated that the Hellblizzard Team's escort mission was also in D City. They had planned to come to D City today to participate in the game launch event.
With this unexpected coincidence, they not only got to enjoy a premium meal but also saved on transportation costs.
"Lily said they're at the Game Mall with the person they're protecting. Let's head over quickly."
After hanging up the call, Hellblizzard looked at Yecheng and the others before her and said, "To be honest, I'm feeling quite excited, even though I appear calm on the surface."
Initially, she had only hoped to bring Yecheng along, as she had some connection with him, unlike Saitama and Genos. Moreover, he was a member of her Hellblizzard Team.
Saitama and Genos joining them was an unexpected delight for Hellblizzard. She had always wanted to integrate into Yecheng's circle of powerful individuals, and now the opportunity had presented itself.
With just a premium meal, Yecheng and Saitama agreed to temporarily act as her bodyguards. Genos, who was usually not so easily persuaded, had no choice but to follow the two teachers since they had agreed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for keeping you waiting. I encountered some matters on the way, which caused a slight delay."
The Hellblizzard Team, led by Hellblizzard, had been assigned a crucial task: to protect the high-ranking officials of the Hero Association. Rumors had it that a new organization called the Monster Association had emerged and declared war on the Hero Association.
While the active heroes were indeed the core of the Hero Association, it was common knowledge that the association's operations relied heavily on financial backing from influential capitalists.
The Monster Association aimed to dismantle the Hero Association, and they were likely to target the association's behind-the-scenes shareholders. Without financial support, the Hero Association would inevitably crumble from within.
This was the very reason why the Hero Association had dispatched heroes to ensure the safety of its shareholders.
For this escort mission, the Hellblizzard Team consisted of Hellblizzard's fangirl Lily, the lickspittle Mountain Ape, and Eyelash, in addition to the original team members.
There were also three A-Class heroes who had joined the Hellblizzard Team after being rescued by Night City during the Deep Sea King incident: the tenth-ranked Viper, the twentieth-ranked Lightning Max, and the thirty-eighth-ranked Snake.
Their primary motivation for joining the team was to repay the debt of gratitude they owed to Night City.
The ranking of heroes within the Hero Association was typically determined by their individual achievements and the strength of the monsters they had defeated.
Although the Hellblizzard Team always operated as a unit, and the monsters they faced were indeed formidable, the large number of team members meant that the credit for their victories was often divided, making it nearly impossible for A-Class heroes like them to improve their rankings while remaining in the team.
Previously, they had believed that since the S-Class hero White Reaper was also a member of the Hellblizzard Team, they would eventually have the opportunity to confront powerful monsters.
However, they hadn't seen White Reaper during any of the team's missions for some time, which gradually led to their disappointment and even their decision to leave the team in the near future.
During this period, they had accompanied the Hellblizzard Team in defeating numerous Tiger-level monsters and even some weaker Phantom-class monsters, repaying the debts they owed. But as professional heroes, they still aspired to climb higher.
When Viper and the others intended to take this opportunity to submit their resignation to the team leader, they were stunned by the figures standing beside Hellblizzard.
"Is the S-Class hero White Reaper still a member of the Hellblizzard Team? But why haven't we seen him during any of the team's missions lately?
Is it because the opponents are too weak, and Hellblizzard doesn't deem it necessary for him to intervene?"
Hellblizzard: (￣￣) No, you're overthinking it. When there's an opportunity to show off, how could Hellblizzard miss it? White Reaper's absence is purely because he's too laid-back.
"It's not just White Reaper. Look at the person beside him; isn't he the S-Class hero Devil Cyborg?
Even without considering Hellblizzard's sister, the second-ranked S-Class hero Trembling Cyclone, her connections alone could bring in the tenth and sixteenth-ranked S-Class heroes.
Two S-Class heroes, plus Hellblizzard herself being the second-ranked A-Class hero, this lineup is incredible—a top-tier power team.
But who's the bald guy next to them? Is he a hero too?"
