"Let's go, King. There's a hero mission. Interested in tagging along?"
After hanging up the phone, Saitama asked.
"Of course! Heh!"
King grinned, the power of the scarlet virus still coursing through him.
In the park.
"He stood up even after Vest Master's hug! What a monster!"
"Big bro Vest, finish him off!"
"Give up now, or you're dead!"
Garou, bloodied and battered, still stood tall.
"Kid, I'll spare your life since you're human. Don't keep walking down this path of evil."
Vest Master shook his head, his eyes sharp.
"I understand… I'll leave now…"
Garou staggered, feigning defeat. But halfway, he turned, face twisted in bestial rage.
"I'll slaughter you all!"
His eyes burned with hatred and bloodlust.
"I knew you wouldn't repent. Then I'll finish this!"
Vest Master roared, his mighty fist striking like a storm.
Bang! Crack!
Both sounds rang at once.
Garou's blade cut into Vest Master's skull, while Vest Master's fist smashed into Garou's chest.
"Damn… I didn't mean to use it, but every time, that old man's face flashes before me. Forget it—if I'm going to fight, I'll use everything!"
Garou's hands glowed faint blue, flowing like water.
The Flowing Water Crushing Rock Fist—Bang's signature technique.
As Bang's top disciple, Garou had mastered it, even surpassing his master.
"Ryūsui Ganseki Ken (Flowing Water Crushing Rock Fist)!"
Boomboomboomboomboom!
A flurry of blows rained down like a waterfall, hammering Vest Master against the wall, shattering it with a twenty-meter crack.
"So strong… he was hiding this?"
Vest Master gasped, body broken, nearly powerless.
Garou sneered. "S-Class kneeling before me? Pathetic! Hahaha!"
Vest Master growled, "Don't look down on me! I only slipped up…"
Garou's eyes darkened. "Shut up and die. You and your Vest gang are finished!"
The Vest subordinates roared in defiance, muscles flexing, charging at Garou.
But suddenly—
All froze.
A crimson figure and a bald man approached calmly from the street, like they were out for a stroll.
"King, I borrowed your console."
Saitama scratched his head.
"Then give it back. I was close to clearing my run."
King sighed.
"Oh… I kind of saved over your file by accident."
Saitama admitted sheepishly.
King: "..."
A whole week of progress—gone.
"…Never mind. I'll just replay it."
King forced a smile.
The Vest gang stared in shock.
"S-Class top ten! The strongest man on Earth, King! And S-Class Rank 2—Invincible Hero Saitama!"
Garou's eyes widened, heart pounding with excitement.
"Finally! My name will echo across the world when I crush you two!"
He laughed madly, blood dripping from his lips.
The Vest gang cheered. "We're saved! Big bro has backup!"
Saitama squinted at Garou.
"You're Bang's disciple? Garou?"
"That's right… but I'm no longer his disciple. I'm the Monster Garou!"
"I promised Bang I'd bring you back."
Saitama said flatly.
"Restrain me? Hahaha! Try it! I'll kill every so-called S-Class hero!"
"Leave him to me, Saitama. I want to test my new strength."
King raised his hand, stepping forward.
Saitama yawned, plopping onto a bench nearby, pulling out his handheld game.
"Fine, I'll wait."
The Vest gang: "..."
Garou smirked. "S-Class Rank 8, King… I've heard you're the strongest attacker. Let's see it!"
His muscles tensed, blue aura flaring, as he lunged straight at King.
