Kick-Ass Asks for Recommendations and Bookmarks
Late at night.
Hell's Kitchen, where the people were known for their simple, honest ways.
Bang!
Rimuru bent forward and slammed into a Bald man's legs, instantly knocking him to the ground.
By then, seven or eight gang members were already lying on the floor. They had been carrying out a smuggling operation.
"Ah, who are you? How dare you ruin the business of Kingpin, the underground emperor!"
Wearing a black trench coat and a mask, Rimuru looked impossibly dashing as she declared in a crisp, standard accent, "Listen up. My name is Hawkeye! You dare call yourself an underground emperor in front of me? Pass a message to Kingpin: transfer five hundred million Dollars into this account within seven days, or I'll take his head!"
Huh?
Hearing the demand from the superhero Hawkeye, all the gang members were dumbfounded.
Hawkeye?
What backwater corner had this superhero crawled out of?
Not only had he ruined Boss Kingpin's business, but he had even threatened Kingpin into paying five hundred million Dollars... Were you really a superhero who punished evil and upheld justice?
Your heart was a hundred times blacker than theirs!
Weighing the briefcase in her hand, Rimuru nodded in satisfaction.
Kingpin truly deserved to be a mandatory beginner-village mob. Taking down one of Kingpin's deals was worth more than wiping out ten thousand petty thieves!
One million Dollars. Her financial crisis had finally eased somewhat.
At least she now had money for the Property Fee and hiring a cook!
Sure enough, a man did not grow rich without a windfall, and a horse did not grow fat without night grazing!
"Now, hand over all the cash on you. Immediately. Right now!"
Huh?
The gang members were practically in tears. Stealing their transaction money was one thing, but she would not even spare the loose change on them.
Who exactly was the gangster here?
What a Grandet! What a vampire!
Five minutes later.
Rimuru left in high spirits, leaving behind a floor full of unconscious Terrorists.
After doing it once, then twice, Rimuru's hypnosis skills had become increasingly refined.
Before leaving, she transformed into an enthusiastic citizen of Chaoyang District and called 911. Those gangsters would probably sleep all the way into a Police cell.
When they woke up tomorrow morning, perhaps the Police station would even provide them with a complimentary breakfast.
No need to thank her. Her service was just that thorough and considerate!
After storing the briefcase in her Stomach, Rimuru still felt unsatisfied.
"Aiya, are there any nearby crimes worth my intervention?"
Aiya's voice came from the mask display. "Master, I just hacked into the Police system and discovered an especially heinous crime being livestreamed. Two hostages are being brutally beaten, and kerosene has been poured over them. They are in extreme danger."
"What?"
Rimuru was shocked. Murder and arson, livestreamed for the entire internet to see?
That was far too brazen!
"Where are they? Track their location immediately. Crack it and send me the coordinates!"
"As you command!"
As she spoke, Rimuru took Wind God out of her Stomach.
Aiya's technology was far ahead of the entire era. The internet was her domain.
Seconds later, Wind God's exhaust flames streaked across the night sky as it sped toward the crime scene.
Online, this sudden livestream had attracted everyone's attention.
At first, people thought it was a prank, an attempt to gain popularity by any means necessary.
But when they saw the Kidnappers truly beat the two people until they were covered in wounds, everyone before their screens fell silent.
Especially when they saw kerosene poured over the pair, everyone's hearts clenched.
No one was unfamiliar with the person in green clothes and a ridiculous mask. He had become very popular recently.
He was only an ordinary person, yet he did things just like the superheroes in comics. Everyone affectionately called him... Kick-Ass!
Many viewers called 911 without prior discussion, hoping the Police could save them.
But they were destined to be disappointed. The livestream was being broadcast from a disguised Studio. Even if the Police found the exact location, it would be difficult for them to get there in time.
Dave, battered and bruised, was consumed by regret. He had already found the woman he loved, and he had already planned to give up pretending to be a superhero.
But because he had trusted the wrong people, not only was he about to lose his life, he had also dragged Mindy and Big Daddy into this.
It was all his fault! All his fault! All his fault!
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the Studio's spotlight was blown apart.
A gunfight immediately began, and hope ignited in Dave's heart once more.
When he saw the small figure flickering in and out of sight in the darkness, Dave burst into tears of joy.
Mindy! It was Mindy! Mindy was alive! He had watched Mindy get shot and fall from the balcony. He had thought she had died because of him!
Wonderful! This was truly wonderful!
The battlefield changed in an instant, and the enemy's cunning clearly exceeded Dave's expectations.
The kerosene on Big Daddy's body had been ignited, while Mindy was exposed in the firelight. Because she was too worried about Big Daddy, Mindy also revealed an opening. The situation was perilous.
Had they fallen into despair? Who could save them!
At that moment, a deafening explosion struck everyone's ears.
With a thunderous boom, the ceiling of the Secret Warehouse being used as a livestream room was blasted open with a huge hole.
When Dave saw that futuristic metal armor, he was instantly overjoyed.
Iron Man?
No!
It was the Silver Armored War God!
"Silver Armored War God, save Big Daddy! He's about to burn to death!"
Rimuru said nothing and walked directly to Big Daddy's side. She cast a barrier over him, shielding him from the flames.
Then, she used the Heat Manipulation effect of the skill [Black Flame] to extinguish every trace of fire.
After only a few breaths, the flames on Big Daddy's body were completely extinguished.
This...
Not only Dave, but even Big Daddy, who was severely injured and nearly burned to death, was utterly astonished.
He did not even know how the blazing fire on his body had been put out, but he had no time to think about that now.
"Don't worry about me! Go help... Mindy!"
Smack!
Rimuru slapped a Recovery Potion onto Big Daddy, and the injuries on his body healed at a visible rate.
He felt every ache and injury vanish from his body. Not only that, even the scars were gone.
Big Daddy stood there in a daze!
How was this possible?!
In the blink of an eye, she had reversed life and death. Just what kind of being was the Silver Armored War God?
As for Dave, who had been watching in stunned silence, his jaw dropped so wide that it could have fit a bowling ball.
Clang! Clang!
With two crisp rings, Rimuru snapped the chains binding Big Daddy and shoved an M4 into his hands.
"Go save your own daughter yourself!"
Click!
Big Daddy pulled back the M4's bolt and said coldly, "From this day onward, my life belongs to you!"
After saying that, Big Daddy charged into the darkness.
Rimuru said nothing more. She went to Dave, broke his chains, and slapped on a Recovery Potion in one smooth motion.
Dave had already been dumbfounded when Rimuru saved Big Daddy. Now that it was happening to him, he felt as though he were in a dream.
Healing the dying and restoring flesh to bone... Was this what a true superhero was?
This was far too terrifying!
It made Dave feel even more dejected. Compared to these superheroes, he was truly nothing!
Rimuru patted Dave's shoulder and comforted him. "I know you. You have the heart of a hero!"
In an instant, Dave's eyes reddened. He wanted to cry, but he forcibly held back the tears.
What had he just heard?
The true superhero, the Silver Armored War God, actually knew him and recognized his heroic heart!
That meant he had not accomplished nothing after all!
Dave's heart was easy to understand, because he was simply an ordinary person who yearned to become a hero!
Just like Mumen Rider from One-Punch Man, it was hard to say whether his actions were right or wrong.
But they were undeniably moving!
Rimuru said, "Wanting to be a hero takes more than passion alone. You must also have real skill. Starting tomorrow, train hard with Big Daddy!"
"Yes!"
Dave Lizewski straightened up and held his head high. His goal had never been so firm as it was today!
Those drug dealers had already been beaten senseless by Mindy. With Big Daddy joining the fight, they were even more unstoppable, not to mention the Silver Armored War God standing guard nearby.
In less than a minute, the drug dealers were completely wiped out.
