Sekingar's Decision

No sooner had Zhu Li and the others left than Saitama returned.

Clearly, the Giant Brothers in City B have been eliminated.

The bald man's speed was undeniably fast.

Unfortunately... City B was also 'destroyed' as a result, and the extent of the persecution and impact far exceeded that of the previous Vaccine Man.

"Hey... Oboro, I bumped into a few people at the intersection just now. They weren't here to see you, were they?"

Saitama knocked on the door and asked.

The bald man was a little concerned... He mistakenly thought that those strangers were the enemies that Long had mentioned.

The other person looked very unfriendly, and their clothing and demeanor clearly indicated that they were not an ordinary person.

"I don't know... I didn't see it."

Long got up and opened the door again, giving him a perfunctory answer.

"Oh... it's good that you're alright."

This was just a minor incident.

Neither Oboro nor Saitama took it to heart at all.

Only the Neo Heroes and the Hero Association are concerned about this matter.

Oboro's lack of understanding and his 'firm' rejection of the organization's recruitment left Neo's higher-ups feeling quite 'frustrated'... In their eyes, Oboro was treating them more like a knock-off of the Hero Association, completely disregarding their invitation.

Oboro was haunted by a sense of inferiority, believing that if the Hero Association had personally invited him, he might have readily agreed instead of adopting this arrogant attitude.

This greatly displeased the Neo Association's leadership.

Because all along, the people they recruited had basically no choice but to accept, and didn't even have the right to refuse.

This treatment is only due to my assessment of Oboro, who has the potential to be an S-rank...

Just like in One Piece and Demon Slayer, Ruolong, with a little thought, would realize that this kind of thing... would never be left unresolved.

In this world, the Hero Association, which is supposed to protect humanity, has a very corrupt power structure. Not to mention the New Hero Association that rose to prominence later, which seems to be opposing the Hero Association and has become somewhat of a 'villainous force'. Their methods and style of doing things are even more despicable than those of the Hero Association.

It wasn't that Long was unwilling to use his brain or think things through, because in the face of absolute power, apart from those few 'dangerous sources', he didn't take the rest seriously at all.

I said I came here to relax, so let's relax properly.

On the other hand, following the Neo Heroes, some members of the Hero Association also noticed the special nature of the 'mysterious man'.

That is Sekingar, the current leader of the Association.

The giant that appeared in City B today was mysteriously killed... The Association hasn't found any clues yet. This made him think of the previous 'Vaccine Man'. Although the Vaccine Man was killed by King... there are still some unclear details in the whole incident.

Both incidents were rare "major disasters" in recent times, which made Sekingar feel very worried.

He thought of that mysterious person... and even wondered if the Giant Brothers today were killed by that person? After all, there was no record of any heroes being dispatched by the Association. The giants had already been killed before they even arrived... It was too fast. This meant that the person who could kill the giants was extraordinary.

He's at least on par with King, whose strength is well-known within the Association.

Once the idea came to him, he immediately instructed the Association to use its channels to investigate and collect all information and clues about the mysterious person. For the Association, this amount of work was a piece of cake.

Regardless of whether that mysterious person is employed by another organization or has any other purpose, the Hero Association should take some 'measures' to maintain the safety of human society.

A few hours later, everything about Oboro was laid out before Sekingar.

At this moment, Sekingar, sitting behind his desk, was intently watching the screen playing on his computer.

This scene happened in Q City not long ago.

A naked human fell from an unimaginable height onto the street, and then... stood up unharmed.

This video has already gone viral on a small scale online. It had some popularity a few days ago, but it has now 'quieted down'.

Sekingar clicked the mouse, the screen switched, and the second video began playing.

It happened in a police station. One second, the man in the video was being questioned, but the next second, something incredible happened: one of the officers got up and took the man away from the private interrogation room. Then, the man wandered around the entire police station lobby on his own. Everyone he encountered seemed to ignore this 'pervert,' and quite a few people even offered him their wallets... According to information just gathered by the Association, everyone in this police station seems to have amnesia.

I have absolutely no recollection of this.

I don't even remember that such a person existed.

Sekingar continued watching the third video...

It's the scene where Watchdog Man hunts down the Ice Cream Monster on the street.

There are dozens more videos to come.

Sekingar has seen it all...

However, these videos are all blurry images of people shopping in various supermarkets or shopping malls, and they don't seem to have anything special about them.

"Has the Watchdog Man confirmed this?"

After a while, Sekingar dialed a number, contacted his subordinates, and asked.

"It's confirmed, it's this man named Oboro... What Watchdog Man meant was that he wasn't quite sure what level this person's strength was, he just had a gut feeling that he was very strong."

"S-rank, huh..."

Sekingar's expression changed slightly.

If a ranked S-class hero, number 12, finds something impressive, then even if their skill level is poor, it can't be that bad.

"Has the location been determined?"

"Hmm... Judging from the area where the other party is active and the surveillance footage, it's Z-City... We also found some witnesses, and finally narrowed down the area to the outskirts of Z-City, a deserted area where strange people often appear. Although that kind of place is very dangerous, if he really has this ability, it doesn't pose any threat to him."

Is there anything else?

Sekingar continued to ask.

"However, we're currently unsure whether the Giant Brothers were killed by this Oboro... Aside from his fabricated background and information, we can't find any information related to this person. We're also unsure of his 'stance,' or rather, whether he wants to be a hero... Judging from his video footage, he's very ordinary, just a resident from the lower rungs of society. He shows no inclination or action towards monsters. Given the current number and density of monsters appearing, if his purpose was to hunt monsters, he couldn't possibly have so much time to wander around..."

"He seems to enjoy his daily life... We've collected his entire shopping list, which includes not only everyday necessities... but also the latest game consoles, a large quantity of different flavored juices, various high-end ingredients, and so on... Uh, it seems he lives a rather 'luxurious' life. Furthermore, according to our data analysis, his lifestyle doesn't seem to involve contact with other forces; it's more like he's single... Judging from his casual spending attitude, his source of income and funds is most likely what happened at the police station—he casually raised money using his abilities."

"And also..."

After listening to his subordinates' reports for half an hour, Sekingar had an idea.

"Right now... which S-class heroes are at headquarters?"

"Hold on."

"Sir, Tornado, an S-rank Tatsumaki, has just completed a mission and returned from out of town with our team... Also, Flashy Flash, ranked 13th in the S-rank sergeant class, hasn't left since the last small meeting."

"Send both of them to see me."

"Yes."
