"They're here!" Daredevil's ears twitched, and he said in a deep voice.
"Who's here?" Skye blinked in surprise.
"The guys who are going to target you today." Daredevil's ears picked up the commotion outside. The thugs he was planning to deal with had finally arrived. "Wait here, I'll go take care of them."
Daredevil said as he quickly rushed out of the room, intending to dispose of the thugs as quickly as possible.
When Daredevil rushed out at top speed, he was stunned to find that the thugs were already lying on the ground, not only defeated but also stacked on top of each other like a human pyramid.
Although the thugs looked pathetic and were injured, groaning in pain, no one had died.
"Look"ing at the scene, Daredevil was first taken aback. He hadn't expected that Saitama would solve the problem without him even needing to lift a finger. But considering Saitama's previous display of strength, it was normal for him to deal with these thugs so quickly. At the same time, Daredevil breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that Daredevil didn't want to be a superhero, or that he disliked people killing. The reason was simply that Saitama hadn't been ruthless.
In Daredevil's opinion, Saitama was far more dangerous than any thug. If such a dangerous person had too much aggression and killed indiscriminately, Daredevil couldn't be sure what Saitama would eventually become.
But now, facing thugs who came to confront them, Saitama could still hold back and not kill them. This clearly showed that Saitama didn't have such a strong killing intent, which at least confirmed that Saitama wouldn't become a heinous murderer.
Otherwise, with the strength Saitama had shown Daredevil, if he truly turned into a villain, Daredevil would be completely helpless.
Therefore, considering all these factors, Saitama's actions greatly relieved Daredevil.
"You're very strong," Daredevil said to Saitama.
"Not really, they were just a bunch of thugs. And they were planning to cause trouble for us, so I had to deal with them beforehand. I don't want my place to be messed up by them, especially after you threw up so much earlier," Saitama said, a hint of complaint in his tone.
Daredevil felt a bit awkward. Fortunately, his face was mostly covered, so it wasn't obvious.
"Can we talk?" Daredevil looked at Saitama.
"Talk? But it's getting late. Although I might play games until late later, I don't plan on staying up all night," Saitama scratched his bald head.
"Play games?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Skye gave me her old computer, and she bought a lot of games I haven't played before. I can finally play to my heart's content, so I don't want to waste too much time on irrelevant things," Saitama nodded.
Daredevil didn't quite know what to say. He felt that what he wanted to discuss with Saitama was serious, very important, but Saitama didn't seem to care.
"Actually, I think we can try to talk. You said before that you're a hero for fun. Can you tell me about it?" Daredevil spoke again.
"Hmm, for fun? It's because I wanted to be a hero for fun that I started training with the goal of becoming one," Saitama said casually.
"And then?"
"And then? What?"
"I mean, you started training with the goal of becoming a hero, and now, have you become a hero? Have you ever thought about changing yourself?"
"Hmm, I feel like you talk too much. Can you be more concise? I need to get back to playing games!" Saitama looked troubled. He felt talking to Daredevil was a waste of time.
"..." Daredevil looked at Saitama carefully, unsure of what kind of person Saitama was.
"You'll always be a hero, right?" Daredevil asked after a moment of silence.
"Like I said, I'm a hero for fun. Of course, I'll always be a hero," Saitama was getting a little impatient. If he hadn't been ready with his games earlier, it would have been fine; since he was idle, he would have let Daredevil say whatever he wanted. But now, he was really in a hurry, and besides, he found this Daredevil quite boring.
"That's good. I hope you remember that," Daredevil gave Saitama a deep look, then turned and left.
Saitama watched Daredevil quickly take a few steps, leap onto the rooftop, and disappear after a few jumps. He felt a bit bewildered. He casually glanced at the pile of thugs and turned to go back. Just then, Skye also rushed out.
Don't mistake Skye's appearance after everything was resolved as her normal speed. Skye's speed was what a normal person should have. Saitama's speed was too fast, not at all within the realm of normal human capability.
"Huh? Where did he go--What's this? What happened to them?" Skye saw the thugs piled up like a pyramid and looked surprised, finding it quite amusing.
"Those were the thugs the guy mentioned earlier," Saitama said casually.
"Okay, I can see that from their appearance. But did Daredevil stack them like this?"
"No, it was me, it was me! I dealt with them."
"You? Well, that's possible, but where's Daredevil?"
"He left."
"Oh."
Since the first meeting with Daredevil, Saitama would often see Daredevil afterwards.
Although Daredevil's activities were mostly confined to Hell's Kitchen, and Saitama and Skye had moved some distance away from Hell's Kitchen after their relocation.
But that was because Saitama was a hero for fun. New York was only so big. While there were many places with crime, the crime rate in Hell's Kitchen was disproportionately high.
So Saitama would often go to Hell's Kitchen to wander around. Whenever he encountered robberies, gang activities, or thefts, he would always intervene to stop the crime. Therefore, when he came to Hell's Kitchen, he naturally encountered Daredevil, the superhero from Hell's Kitchen.
At the same time, as a hero for fun, Saitama had stopped a lot of crimes, and he gradually began to gain his own moniker. Just like Daredevil, the title Daredevil was given to him by others. Saitama naturally also acquired a nickname--Invisible Man.
That's right, Saitama's nickname was Invisible Man.
Because neither the criminals he stopped nor the victims he rescued ever saw who it was that acted. No one saw them.
This situation was naturally due to Saitama's incredible speed. When Saitama ran, he couldn't stop.
If he were in his original world, he might have encountered some powerful monsters and revealed his whereabouts to some extent. But these petty thugs and hoodlums were not even comparable to the weakest monsters; they could be dealt with by a casual punch. There was no need to stop at all.
Saitama's speed was such that if he didn't stop, no one could see him. Therefore, those who were saved or beaten, unable to see Saitama's figure, directly bestowed upon Saitama the title of Invisible Man.
