Chapter 903: Keeping an Eye on the Wealthy Miss of Yecheng
Chapter 903: Keeping an Eye on the Wealthy Miss of Yecheng
As the crowd gazed at her in awe and admiration, Fubuki felt like she was truly walking on air. This was the feeling she had always craved—to be admired and praised, leaving everyone in a state of awe.
She no longer wanted to be remembered or praised solely as "Tornado's sister." Instead, she desired to be acknowledged for her own abilities... Well, winning over Yecheng and the others was indeed a testament to her capabilities.
After all, networking and connections were also a part of one's strength, and she had no qualms about it.
Currently, Fubuki had S-Class Rank 10 Yecheng on her left and S-Class Rank 16 Genos on her right, while Baldy Saitama trailed behind. Fubuki, leading the way at the center, exuded an air of dominance. This lineup alone was enough to make the A-Class Hero Viper and his team realize the extent of Fubuki's formidable connections.
Everyone present now believed that the structure of the 'Hellblizzard Team' might not be as simple as they had imagined. Perhaps the team they were a part of was just the 'Regular Team' within the Hellblizzard Team, and above the Regular Team, there might exist a so-called 'Elite Team.'
Just by observing the individuals surrounding Fubuki at this moment, one could surmise that the 'Elite Team' was likely reserved for those with exceptional abilities.
The reason they hadn't seen the 'White Reaper' earlier wasn't because she had withdrawn but because their own capabilities weren't up to par, and they lacked the qualifications to enter the core group!
Witnessing the lineup of the 'Elite Team,' Viper couldn't help but imagine how his hero ranking would soar if he could join them and seize some credit during future battles against Dragon-Class Monsters.
Viper and his team, lost in their thoughts, remained unaware of Fubuki's knowledge of their musings. Even if she did, she likely wouldn't offer any explanations.
Yecheng, noticing Fubuki's smug expression, understood that she was secretly delighted. However, adhering to their agreement, they had finished their task of impressing the crowd. Just as he was about to leave with Saitama to participate in the gaming tournament, an excited voice called out to him.
"Mr. Yecheng, it's been quite some time since we last met."
The one who addressed Yecheng with a delighted expression was none other than the 'Hellblizzard Team's' current protection target.
In other words, she was an important figure within the Hero Association, and Fubuki had briefly acquainted herself with her earlier.
Despite her youthful appearance, the beautiful girl before them was the heiress of a mega-corporation and, at a young age, already the Hero Association's third-largest shareholder.
As far as Fubuki knew, Yecheng had previously worked as a model before becoming a hero. Afterward, he spent his days lazing around at home, so it was unlikely he would have had the opportunity to meet such a prominent figure.
"Yes, I know Mr. Yecheng very well. He is my savior, and he was also my swordsmanship tutor for a period.
When Mr. Yecheng resigned from his tutoring position, I fell into a slump for a while. However, upon hearing that he had become a professional hero, I was genuinely happy for him.
Mr. Yecheng possesses the strength to defeat Dragon-Class Monsters like Vaccine Man, yet the Hero Association's incompetent evaluators only granted him a B-Class ranking, which is truly infuriating."
"But even a piece of gold will shine wherever it goes. Mr. Yecheng first stopped the meteor from falling, then defeated the Sea King who led the ocean monsters' invasion. Through his own efforts, he has now become an S-level hero."
Hearing the noble and beautiful young lady in front of her, reciting Yecheng's various deeds as if they were her own, Hellblizzard and the others beside her were all stunned on the spot.
"Damn, this is just a relationship of acquaintance. The feelings that this syndicate heiress holds for Yecheng are probably not as simple as just admiration and reverence!"
"I remember now, you're the dupe that Yecheng mentioned before..."
Before Baldy could finish his sentence, his mouth was already covered by Yecheng beside him.
Not only Baldy, but he finally remembered who the girl in front of him was.
Strictly speaking, she was indeed an old acquaintance, and the two had quite a bit of interaction.
When Yecheng first met Whitney, she was pretending to be a supermarket shopping assistant to inspect his supermarket, but she happened to encounter the Vaccine Man's attack.
At that time, Yecheng saved her, and later the girl posted a job offer with conditions that perfectly matched his high salary.
Of course, Yecheng and Baldy were both poor, so Yecheng took the bait and became her swordmanship tutor for a period of time.
Because the reward she offered was too great, Yecheng, who didn't understand at first, thought she was a spoiled brat and a dupe, which is why Baldy said what he did earlier.
However, since Yecheng quit his job as a swordmanship tutor and was tricked by Baldy into becoming a hero, he hasn't seen her again.
Yecheng originally thought she was just a passerby in his life, but now it seems that this syndicate heiress has been paying attention to him all along!
"Wait, you're a shareholder of the Hero Association, and you also know about my participation in the Hero Exam. So, when I submitted a blank test paper, I was still able to become a hero, mainly because of you!"
Hearing Yecheng's exclamation, Hellblizzard also glanced at Whitney with her eyes, then showed a look of realization.
When Yecheng participated in the hero assessment, his deliberate submission of a blank test, perfect physical fitness test, and deliberate loss to Hellblizzard in the practical test were not enough to become a professional hero.
But in the practical test, Hellblizzard saw Yecheng's deliberate water release behavior, recognized his potential and strength, so he applied to the Hero Association to save him.
Previously, Hellblizzard also thought that Yecheng could not only pass the assessment, but even become a B-level hero with a zero score in the written test, because of her own face, after all, her sister is the "Trembling Cyclone".
But now it seems that the answer is obvious, the reason why Yecheng was able to become a B-level hero at the time was probably due to this syndicate heiress.
Then unfortunately, no matter whether this syndicate heiress admires or loves Yecheng, this behavior of hers, which she considers to have helped Yecheng, does not increase his favorability at all, and even makes things worse.
Because Yecheng never intended to be a hero in the first place, so he deliberately messed up the written test and deliberately lost to himself in the practical test!
Previously, Yecheng deliberately lost to himself, and Hellblizzard also thought that he was her fan, and after the fact, she found Yecheng and invited him to join the Hellblizzard Team.
But he thought that she was interfering in his business, so he scolded her harshly.
