Chu Yang stared at them with a smile.
My hair stood on end!
Without saying a word, the four of them turned and ran at the same time, tears welling up in their eyes as they fled for their lives.
Too scary!
"Tsk, tsk."
Chu Yang turned his head and looked at the building, now dilapidated from the clash of magic and psychic power, and could only shake his head helplessly.
It needs to be rebuilt no matter how you look at it.
"Why don't we build one like the Avengers base? We'll need to store a lot of Iron Man armors in the future anyway."
"Security also needs to be upgraded, otherwise anyone can just come in."
"We sent the tornado away this time, but next time it won't be an explosion, will it?"
"I feel like I'm going further and further down the path of villainy..."
…………
Tornado, the second-ranked S-class hero, was carried back.
He remained in a coma.
Almost everyone at the Hero Association headquarters, from board members to department heads, received the news.
That was a terrifying tornado!
The strongest among those besides the chief hero "Demolition".
As a result, he was defeated in a way that was completely predictable.
The Hero Association is in unprecedented chaos.
There wasn't even a need to hold a special meeting; a large group of people were already guarding the meeting room door.
"How come even a tornado got into trouble?"
"If this gets out, the Hero Association's reputation will plummet!"
"Just what exactly is the House of Evolution?"
"The question is wrong. The key point is the hero who knocked Tornado unconscious, isn't it?"
"Find his information right away!"
The secretaries hurried back and forth in the corridor, and it took them a while to place Chu Yang's registration information on the conference table.
The rating section says Grade A.
The conference room fell silent immediately.
Everyone looked at each other.
"He's only been a hero for a few months?"
"It wasn't a selection process... he became a hero through a recommendation. Who was his recommender?"
The board members whispered among themselves, their faces showing confusion. None of them remembered having anyone recommend this hero.
A person in the corner shakily raised their hand.
"I am his recommender and also his contact person..."
Foster almost cried.
He hoped that Chu Yang could one day become a top-ranked hero, which would improve his status and treatment at headquarters.
But he never imagined that Chu Yang would make a name for himself in this way.
"Since you're his agent, you should know and tell everyone who this hero who defeated the tornado really is."
The board members focused their attention on Foster.
Foster's heart was pounding in his chest. He had no choice but to steel himself and step out of the crowd to vividly recount Chu Yang's journey to joining the Hero Association.
After gaining an initial understanding, one of the directors asked, "Foster, in your opinion, does this hero Yang harbor hostility towards us?"
Foster shook his head and said, "I've never seen him cause trouble for anyone. Normally, as long as you don't provoke him, he won't provoke you. Yang is a very principled person."
The board members fell into deep thought.
In fact, it all started with Fubuki entering someone else's territory without warning, and then Tatsumaki showed up and caused a huge uproar.
They had no legitimate reason from beginning to end; on the contrary, Chu Yang felt it was more like self-defense.
It's also possible that it went a little too far...
"Ahem, how about this, Foster, you represent the Hero Association to negotiate with Yang and express our apologies."
"That's right! That's how it should be. It's not just about apologizing; we also need to improve his ranking!"
"How can a hero who can defeat Tornado only be a mere A-rank? That's incredibly disrespectful!"
"Everyone, please calm down. It's best to talk to him personally about this. If he's not satisfied with the new rankings, it will only cause trouble."
Foster couldn't help but feel excited as he watched the board members' attitudes completely change.
Judging from the attitude of the board members, Foster could sense that they seemed to intend to make Chu Yang their new face!
A hero more powerful than Tornado, even on par with Blast.
If successful, the Hero Association's influence will rise to another level.
This is followed by massive investment and advertising; with just a little hype, one can make a fortune.
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit.
If Chu Yang really becomes a top-ranked S-class hero, then at the very least, Foster will become a supervisor.
Just imagining the days to come made Foster grin from ear to ear.
Foster left the meeting room to find Chu Yang. As he closed the door, he heard the cheerful laughter inside and his mood suddenly became very strange.
No one in the meeting room cared about Tornado's injuries.
Everyone was simply happy that a new money-making machine had appeared.
A chill ran through Foster's heart.
……
Learning from his previous experience, Foster called Chu Yang before going to the House of Evolution. When he arrived, someone was already waiting for him at the door.
Calling it a person is a bit inappropriate.
A gorilla wearing armor.
"wack……"
Foster stared blankly, his mouth agape.
"Come with me, the master is waiting for you downstairs."
The armored gorilla scratched its head, having already guessed the other party's reaction. Following Chu Yang, it knew it would experience many more awkward moments like this in the future.
Foster followed the armored gorilla into the underground laboratory.
Chu Yang was waiting for him in a room full of strange instruments.
Foster coughed lightly and walked up to Chu Yang to exchange pleasantries.
Not long after, the armored gorilla came over carrying coffee.
"This scene is very similar to when we first met."
Chu Yang took the coffee from its hand, turned around and handed it to Foster, teasingly saying, "Are you here to deliver contracts to me again?"
Chu Yang was as kind as ever, which put Foster's mind at ease. He chuckled and said, "Pretty much."
He then stated his purpose and repeated the contents of today's meeting.
"You know, I've never cared about rankings, or even the hero class."
"Whether the ranking goes up or down, I don't care. As long as you're happy."
Chu Yang initially became a hero and resided in D City simply so he could have contact with Saitama.
Now that he has obtained Saitama's blood sample, the profession of hero is becoming increasingly unimportant to him.
"You can make any requests you have, and headquarters will try its best to meet them."
Foster chuckled and rubbed his hands together; he was most afraid of Chu Yang's indifferent attitude.
It's worth noting that when they first met, Chu Yang decisively rejected the Hero Association's professional contract because he was dissatisfied with the terms.
"Conditions..."
After pondering for a while, Chu Yang smiled knowingly, "My conditions might be very demanding. Are you sure you want to listen?"
Foster's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile and said, "Please feel free to ask."
Chu Yang said, "First of all, I want absolute autonomy in carrying out the mission."
It means that I'll do it if I want to, and I won't if I don't.
