"That guy with S-rank potential... Heh, the wanted poster for him was just issued and he's already here."

Inside the building's monitoring room, the new Association's leaders and several senior executives watched the man walk into the lobby on the screen, letting out a cold laugh.

"Has the Sky King made contact with the Bomb?"

The Association leader asked the staff.

"No..."

The latter replied.

"Sky King and Bomb are both ranked at the top of the A-level heroes... Even if we launch an attack on him, it probably won't cause any damage. The main purpose is to warn this Oboro that our Association has extended an invitation to him... We think highly of him, and it won't be so easy for him to refuse." The leader said coldly, "Now it seems that the warning has worked well... He actually came to us on his own initiative, which means he has changed his mind."

The Neo Organization's mechanisms regarding heroes are the same as those of the Hero Association.

It is also divided into four levels: c, b, a, and s.

The main focus is on directly confronting the Hero Association.

Zhu Li, who had previously visited Long in person, was also among them.

He looked at the man on the screen and frowned. "Play back the scene that just happened outside... that special energy fluctuation."

"Yes."

Upon hearing the sound, the staff immediately started typing on their keyboards.

Soon, the screen showed a scene outside the building where Oboro Ta Bu out of the 'void'.

Upon seeing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

"This..."

"Spatial abilities?"

"Just like that Blast!"

Someone gasped in surprise.

Blast, ranked number one in the S-class of the Hero Association, has always been shrouded in mystery, with very little known about him to the outside world. Even many members of the Hero Association, who are also S-class, have never seen Blast and know nothing about him whatsoever. However, this is no secret to the Neo Heroes, because among the S-class members of their new Association is Blast's own son.

Furthermore, the New Hero Association was established with the aim of destroying the Hero Association, making them direct competitors.

Friction is bound to happen sooner or later; there's no way to avoid it.

They had been gathering information about the internal workings of the Hero Association for a long time.

"It's not just about mind control..."

Zhu Li gasped.

This Oboro seems to be even more 'terrifying' than they expected.

"Sir, the target has arrived by elevator!"

At that moment, someone sitting at another control panel suddenly gave a reminder.

"Up here? How did he get up here?"

The leader was stunned.

The building's interior is highly Precision, and it is difficult for outsiders to pass through without permission from higher-ups.

They were just reviewing the video footage when the target appeared? The staff immediately projected the surveillance footage onto the largest screen in the room.

They saw a high-ranking member of the Association riding in the elevator with Oboro.

Clearly, it was only through the authority of this high-level person that things could proceed smoothly.

Furthermore, after entering the building from Long, all the staff seemed to be given some kind of order and took the initiative to 'clear the way' for him.

"Stop him!"

"Lock the elevator!"

"Lower all the gates between the floors!"

The leader suddenly felt something was wrong.

Inside the elevator, a man in a suit smiled slightly at the surveillance equipment, as if he sensed that someone was watching him from the other end of the monitoring system.

No matter how you look at it, this man doesn't seem like someone who's come to join the Neo Heroes.

They're just forcing their way in! "Pierre and the others have been mentally manipulated!" someone pointed out the problem.

"It's no use... Even if we seal off all the passages, with his spatial abilities, it would be a piece of cake for him to come to us." Zhu Li's voice turned somber.

He quickly made a decision. "Immediately contact all A-rank and S-rank heroes in the building and have them come to the conference room."

"Activate all high-precision scientific research equipment in the building and enter a state of first-level combat readiness."

"Yes."

As soon as a staff member pressed a red button, all the screens in the control room lit up with red warning signs. Someone hurriedly said into an open communication device, "Attention! Attention... A potentially dangerous enemy has entered our territory. All units, please immediately go on alert and be ready for combat!"

At the same time, the blurry photos were also transmitted to various areas of the building.

The entrance to the new Association's building was also sealed off by an iron gate.

The exterior walls of the building are covered by crisscrossing black metal pipes that completely cover the entire building.

In the blink of an eye, the Neo Heroes's building, bathed in sunlight, transformed into a gigantic 'metal box,' completely isolated from the outside world.

We can't get in.

They can't get out...

The elevator that Oboro was riding came to an abrupt stop.

He heard the piercing alarm.

"That's really slow..."

After making a joke, his figure once again merged into the void and disappeared.

He had assumed that when he appeared in front of the building, the higher-ups of the Neo Heroes would be alerted and take timely action.

Now it seems that the other party has clearly misunderstood something.

A moment later, he stepped out of the space and onto the floor of the most confidential floor at the top of the Association.

It was pitch black all around; the staff seemed to have turned off all the light sources.

Long walked slowly and deliberately.

Giving the other side ample time to prepare, he had already sensed a large number of auras approaching from another direction and converging at a certain place.

If he truly intended to kill, he wouldn't even need to use his spacetime abilities; he could simply use his soul perception to lock onto all the high-ranking members of the Neo Heroes and blast them to death on the spot.

Under his soul's perception, nothing can hide.

The only sound in the dark corridor was his clear footsteps... The atmosphere was a little eerie.

After a while, and after wandering around, Long walked through an open door.

As soon as he entered, the specially made door behind him closed instantly.

He seemed to have entered a spacious hall, which was also pitch black.

With a loud bang, as if something heavy had fallen, the lights in the hall came on, illuminating the space.

Looking around, Oboro was standing at the entrance of the hall, but he was enclosed in an iron cage.

In the center of the hall stood a large round table and several chairs, while a huge screen hung on the wall. Meanwhile, a squad of over twenty heroes had already gathered on the first floor of the hall.

On the second floor above, five or six people stood looking down at him, trapped in the cage.

One of them, Long recognized, was Zhu Li, the HR manager, a man with silver hair.

Clearly, these individuals are the current core members of the Neo Heroes.

"That's him... the guy we were originally planning to recruit!"

"It seems to have S-rank strength..."

"Hmph... Even if he's at the S-rank level, daring to force his way into the Association's base will only make him realize the severity of the consequences!"

The heroes' gazes were focused on Oboro, and for a moment, they were all talking about it.

Some had serious expressions, some wore mocking looks, and others were brazenly sizing up Long...

"Oboro, our Association is truly delighted by your arrival."

"But the way you want to see us and the manner you act... is offensive to the Association."

Standing on the second floor, Zhu Li spoke first, bluntly saying, "From now on, I hope you won't make any unusual moves. I know you are very powerful... but the cage that traps you is a special scientific research device that can release terrifying electromagnetic waves and laser beams in an instant. I think... even if you have the ability to travel through space, you may not be able to escape it."

"That's amazing?"

Upon hearing this, Long raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Don't waste time arguing with him."

At this moment, the Association's true top leader stepped forward and gestured for Zhu Li to step down.

Then, staring coldly at Long, he said, "You should have received the gift we sent you, right?"

The so-called gift refers to the two fat men who went to the no-man's-land to attack the apartment.

"This is just the beginning... I just hope you'll join us willingly."

"This is beneficial to you and to us."

Long laughed.

Although the Neo Heroes appears to be exactly the same as the Hero Association, their internal management methods are completely different.

Human heroes, in the latter situation... possess considerable autonomy and a voice. Simply put, the higher-ups and lower-level members of the Hero Association are more like helpers who assist heroes in resisting various disasters facing humanity; they serve the heroes.

But in the Neo Heroes ... heroes feel a bit like slaves or thugs... more accurately, commodities.

Suddenly, Oboro took a few steps forward inside the cage.

His actions immediately made Zhu Li and the others tense.

"What are you waiting for? Start this toy... let me see it."

"Long urged," he said.

"..."

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.
