Saitama's Anticipation

"Forget it." Matt stopped himself, closing his mouth.

"What's wrong, Matt?"

"Nothing. Actually, I just wanted to remind you to be careful. After all, we've caused a lot of damage to Kingpin's business these past few days. I figured Kingpin would make a move against us. But then I thought about your strength, and it seems like you don't even need my reminder." Matt couldn't help but sigh.

Before, Matt just thought Saitama was very strong, especially his speed. But after following Saitama on a few missions, he realized Saitama's strength was truly immense, even exceeding his own understanding. If Saitama didn't just possess incredible speed and strength, but lacked the divine powers of creation seen in myths, he would have almost believed Saitama was a god who had stepped out of a legend.

"Huh? You mean we might face strong opponents next?" Saitama's eyes lit up as he looked at Matt.

"Uh, it's possible we'll face strong opponents, or they might have set a trap specifically for us. Given Kingpin's resources, if he's truly pushed, he might even deploy some overpowered heavy weaponry." Matt said with a slightly serious tone.

"Oh. I see. I'm really looking forward to it. I hope we can encounter someone at the Dragon-level monster's strength, or maybe even a bit higher. It would be great if we could have a good, satisfying fight for once." Saitama completely disregarded Matt's concern, seeming almost eager. Ever since he went bald, his strength had grown, and he hadn't had to go all out since. Saitama was almost losing the passion he once had, and even his emotional fluctuations were becoming increasingly subdued.

"Dragon-level monsters? Never mind, I'll just be careful." Matt shook his head. He was starting to believe Skye's comment about Saitama's head possibly having issues. However, overall, Saitama was on the side of justice, a hero. Despite his oddities, Matt no longer harbored any wariness towards him.

"Mhm, mhm, mhm!" Saitama nodded. Whether he truly took Matt's words to heart? Clearly not.

As usual, Saitama followed Matt out on another mission.

And at their destination for this outing, a large group of people had already set up an ambush.

Just as Matt had said, Kingpin's men had begun to act against Invisible Man and Daredevil. They had ambushed a large number of gunmen, and even brought heavy weapons. Things like bombs and grenades were prepared in abundance.

Such a large quantity of weapons clearly violated some unspoken rule. Generally, gangs wouldn't use such powerful firepower because it could easily attract too much attention, leading to investigations by the police or even higher authorities, potentially uncovering clues and bringing trouble.

But this time, they couldn't afford to care about unspoken rules. It was simply that Saitama's methods were too overwhelming. Invisible Man was nowhere to be seen, yet he could take them down in an instant, before they even had a chance to fire. It was truly Saitama's speed that was too fast.

"You've gone to all this trouble? And you've even brought out so many heavy weapons? Aren't you guys a little too cowardly? Don't worry, with me here this time, whether it's Daredevil or Invisible Man, I can easily take care of them." Bullseye glanced at the ambushing crowd, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, as he patted his chest and guaranteed.

"Bullseye, you're very capable, but you weren't in New York before, so you don't know how formidable Invisible Man is. Invisible Man is too powerful, and what's more terrifying is his strangeness. With his invisibility, he appears and disappears unpredictably, showing up in places we can't even imagine. That's why we had to set a trap, so we could detect him, find his traces, and eliminate him."

"Tch! You're just making excuses for your incompetence. Leave this so-called Invisible Man to me. When I place Invisible Man's corpse in front of you, let's see if you're still acting like this." Bullseye sneered, his disdain for this group growing. If Kingpin hadn't ordered him to work with them, he would have jumped out and gone solo long ago.

Seeing Bullseye like this, the small leader shook his head. Although he thought Bullseye was too arrogant, Bullseye was someone Kingpin had specifically sought out. So, even with Bullseye's arrogance, he had to endure it for now. However, he was looking forward to Bullseye encountering Invisible Man and getting a good lesson, so he would know his place.

"As expected, I knew Kingpin would set a trap for us. Invisible Man, you need to be careful. I suspect they'll target you specifically, so don't be careless." Daredevil specifically warned Saitama.

"Mhm, mhm, I understand." Saitama nodded casually. "But, will there be strong opponents?"

"Wait a moment." Matt tilted his ear, listening to all the surrounding movements. He could even clearly hear the deliberately suppressed breaths and heartbeats of the ambushing men.

"Saitama, they've ambushed quite a few people this time. Most importantly, I can sense a very capable guy." Matt's expression turned serious. He heard one person's breathing frequency was clearly different from ordinary people, and that strong, powerful heartbeat was definitely beyond what a normal person could achieve.

Thinking this, Daredevil's face couldn't help but become solemn.

"A capable guy? Great!" Saitama was already impatient. His figure flashed, and he disappeared.

"Wait—" Matt tried to call out to Saitama, but Saitama's speed was simply too fast.

Saitama rapidly charged inside. His speed was so great that he skimmed over the ground. The traps buried in the ground, designed to catch large carnivorous animals, didn't even have time to trigger before Saitama had already rushed in.

"A strong opponent? I'm so curious!" Saitama muttered to himself as he scanned the area after rushing in.

ps: It's Wednesday today, but this book hasn't changed its signed status yet, so I probably won't be scheduled for a trial push this week. The contract expired on Sunday, and they still haven't changed the status by Wednesday.

Finally, please recommend and collect.
