Vile Criminal

The man clutched a middle-aged man in his left hand. The middle-aged man, with his neck choked, was clearly on the verge of death. He desperately tried to pry open the hand of the crazy man in front of him and said with all his might, "Muratake... I beg you, don't kill me. Everything before was a misunderstanding. I apologize!"

"Hahahahahaha..." Muratake, the nine-foot-tall man, looked coldly at the man who was like a little chick and said, "Regretting it now? What a shame... it's all too late!"

Yang Xiao watched clearly from below. This was probably what they called escalating conflict. The conflict between the two sides might not have reached the level of mortal enmity, but it had accumulated over time, leaving an indelible impression on Muratake's heart, leading to this incident.

Sometimes, one is a Buddha or a demon in a single thought. Many things can happen in this single thought. Clearly, Muratake chose to be a demon.

"Listen up! Release the hostages and surrender, and you can be dealt with leniently. Otherwise, you will be shot on sight!" The police had arrived, dispersing the crowd while communicating with the criminal.

Yang Xiao also saw some professional heroes, but he didn't recognize them. He could only tell they were professional heroes from their costumes.

Muratake was clearly utterly disappointed with the man in front of him. He didn't say another word and threw the middle-aged man from the second floor.

The police and professional heroes thought the criminal was surrendering and breathed a sigh of relief. One professional hero rushed forward, intending to catch the middle-aged man below.

"Dada dada da~"

"Pfft!"

Muratake had no intention of surrendering. As he threw the middle-aged man down, he raised the submachine gun in his right hand. The spitting flames turned the middle-aged man into a sieve.

The rushing professional hero was also hit by several bullets. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he stumbled towards a stone pillar.

"Nobihito, are you alright?" another professional hero shouted anxiously. Nobihito was his colleague and a good friend. If Nobihito died because of this incident, he would go crazy.

Yang Xiao had no intention of rushing out to confront the criminal. Firstly, he didn't want to attract attention. Secondly, the police and professional heroes were already here; what would be the point of him going up?

Another point was that Yang Xiao didn't know if his Quirk could withstand the power of bullets. The opponent's Quirk weapon was clearly not simple firearms. Didn't he see that the middle-aged man was already a mess of flesh and blood?

"You're not leaving? Are you trying to go up there and die?" Just as Yang Xiao was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned his head and saw Toga Himiko, bent over, looking at him with a half-smile. Their faces were less than ten centimeters apart.

"Hey... why are you so close?" Toga Himiko reacted. Yang Xiao almost touched her face when he turned his head.

"Don't shout. Besides, you were the one sneaking around behind me," Yang Xiao immediately made a shushing gesture, telling Toga Himiko to be quieter.

Toga Himiko's face turned red, and she took a few steps back. She really wanted to beat up Yang Xiao.

"Shoot him!" the professional hero roared. The police clearly realized the seriousness of the situation. With a dead person, the criminal could be shot directly, especially since the opponent had strong firepower.

"Surround him, and shoot him if you have the chance!" The leading police officer waved his hand, and dozens of fully armed police officers began to surround him in a fan shape.

"Don't you dare move, you bastards! Look carefully... I have hostages behind me!" Muratake turned the submachine gun in his right hand and pointed it at the dozen or so hostages, men, women, old, and young.

"Mom, I'm scared!" A child, about seven or eight years old, among the hostages cried and clung to his mother's embrace. The mother, also terrified of Muratake, still comforted her child with a strong tone, "It's okay, baby. The professional heroes and police are here to save us. It's okay."

"There really are hostages..." The leading police officer's expression changed. This was really difficult. If their actions caused serious casualties, the impact on society would be immense, and the police and professional heroes would be subject to public opinion.

"Ahaha... Matsuda, Matsuda, you piece of trash, I finally killed you. Did you think you were so smart, so high and mighty?" Muratake, seeing that the police and professional heroes dared not move rashly, cursed loudly. "All trash, beaten into minced meat in front of my Quirk. That feeling must be wonderful, hahaha!"

"He really is a vicious criminal..." The professional hero gritted his teeth. This criminal was clearly mentally unstable. If they acted rashly, it would undoubtedly provoke the criminal's murderous intent.

"Nobihito, are you alright?" The remaining professional hero, after thinking clearly, went straight to Nobihito's side. There were two medical personnel by Nobihito's side, stopping the bleeding.

"Yamato Isami... if I don't make it, please take care of my moth..."

"Don't say such foolish things!" The professional hero named Yamato Isami interrupted Nobihito. "How could anything happen to you? Don't worry."

After saying this, Yamato Isami looked at the medical personnel, "Carefully carry him out. Remember to avoid the criminal's sight."

The medical personnel nodded and carried Nobihito onto a stretcher before leaving. Just then, the criminal was somewhat delirious, lost in his own world, and did not notice Nobihito and the two medical personnel leaving.

Yang Xiao was a bit speechless. The professional hero who was hit by bullets seemed very inexperienced. In that situation, not using his Quirk to catch the person would surely result in injury.

Yang Xiao didn't know what Nobihito's Quirk was. He only knew that Nobihito was reckless, perhaps out of eagerness to save someone, but one couldn't ignore the criminal's combat power.

"Are you leaving or not?" Toga Himiko stared at Yang Xiao. If this guy didn't leave, she wouldn't keep persuading him. Who could stop someone seeking death?

"Yes, we have to leave." Yang Xiao nodded, then pointed to the second floor of the waiting room. "When his attention is diverted, we'll leave."

"Two young ones, this isn't a place for you to be."

Just as Toga Himiko was about to grab Yang Xiao's ear, a clear voice came. Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko turned their heads, and what greeted their eyes was golden hair, bean-like black eyes, and a sturdy physique.

"Mirio... Mirio Togata?" Yang Xiao was startled. Why was Mirio Togata here?

That's right, the person who arrived was indeed Mirio Togata, the pillar of the third year, one of the Big Three of U.A. No, he should be a second-year now. When Yang Xiao enrolled, Mirio Togata would be a third-year.

But no matter what, Mirio Togata was currently a potential stock with astonishing strength. His appearance in Kanagawa, was it for workplace experience, or was there another reason?

"You recognize me?" Mirio Togata smiled, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
