A Talk with Seafood Feast

Because the black cloak was too conspicuous, Chiffon did not wear it. He only brought an Ultraman Tiga mask to a fairly luxurious restaurant.

Of course, the mask's mouth was left open. Otherwise, he would not have been able to eat.

"How long are you going to keep hiding? You're already out, yet you're still wearing that crappy mask. Does it look good or something?" Hirahara Yuudai mocked.

"Cut the crap and order your food!" Chiffon spat.

"Fine, you're the boss. You call the shots." Hirahara Yuudai grinned as he opened the menu and ordered every expensive item on it, his eyes practically glowing green. It was not his money, after all. He might as well eat to his heart's content first.

The food was served before long, and Chiffon's face darkened again and again. Was this guy even human? What the hell had he ordered?

Australian Red Dragon, king crab, geoduck, Seafood Feast, and twin-flavor seafood soup.

"I think you're the fucking Seafood Feast here. You ordered nothing but seafood?" Chiffon glared. This whole table had to cost at least seven or eight thousand yuan, right?

"Wakaka, how did you know I'm Seafood Feast?" Hirahara Yuudai said proudly. "My father used to take me out to sea to fish when I was little. That was when I fell in love with seafood. If I go a day without eating it, I feel awful all over!"

"I think you feel awful all over if you go a day without getting beaten up." Chiffon rubbed his hands together. "Your father's a doctor. How did he end up acting like a fisherman?"

"That story starts with my great-grandfather." Hirahara Yuudai immediately began reminiscing, but Chiffon had no interest in hearing his family history and cut him off. "Don't tell me about your great-grandfather and great-grandmother. I didn't treat you to dinner to hear that."

"Then what do you want to hear, boss?" Hirahara Yuudai broke off a king crab leg, dipped it into the vinegar dish, and crunched down on it. He ate with immense satisfaction.

Chiffon's heart ached at the sight. If he had known Hirahara Yuudai would fleece him like this, he should have brought Sister Sakura along to eat too. Man proposed, heaven disposed.

"I want to watch the Seven Saints fight," Chiffon suddenly said.

Hirahara Yuudai looked at Chiffon in surprise and stopped chewing. "You basically never get to see the Seven Saints fight. You might not see one even once in one or two months, so give up on it. You'd be lucky enough to watch the Five Kings fight. Be content."

"Content, my ass. The Five Kings are only so-so. If I want to make money, then naturally I have to become one of the Seven Saints." Chiffon spoke calmly. He might not be able to become one of the Three Emperors, and Chiffon knew his own limits. From today's match, he could tell that the higher the rank, the stronger the fighters became.

At the level of the Three Emperors, practically no one dared to challenge them. Chiffon did not want to throw his life away. With his current strength, he could at most fight the lowest-ranked members of the Seven Saints, and he might not even be a match for them.

"One of the Seven Saints?" Hirahara Yuudai suddenly burst out laughing. "I think fish bladder grew in your head! Hahaha!"

To Hirahara Yuudai, the Seven Saints were figures comparable to the Professional Heroes on the hero rankings. Although the two could not be directly compared, among the Underground Heroes, the Three Emperors and Seven Saints represented the strongest.

Everyone who knew about the Underground Heroes felt nothing but reverence upon hearing of the Three Emperors and Seven Saints. Few harbored any desire to challenge them. Even those who did would only challenge the last one or two members of the Seven Saints, because once one reached the level of the Seven Saints, every rank was separated by an enormous gulf.

Chiffon had considered a question before. Since the Three Emperors and Seven Saints were so powerful, did All For One not know about them?

With All For One's strength, he should be able to defeat Divine Fist, the top-ranked of the Three Emperors, right? Or had Divine Fist grown so strong that even All For One could not touch him? Or perhaps the people running the Underground Heroes Arena behind the scenes were exceptionally powerful, making All For One wary?

All of those were possible. But given Chiffon's current strength, these waters were already deep enough. He still could not touch them.

Perhaps there were even stronger people behind all this, and All For One had only barely managed to rank among them. These were all Chiffon's guesses.

It was mainly because Chiffon had entered the world of the Underground Heroes that he learned this world did not only contain powerful people and heroes in the public eye. There were also many unknown, highly concealed powerhouses watching from the shadows.

Chiffon even wondered whether there were many organizations like the League of Villains, except they were hiding in even darker places and had yet to reveal themselves.

Hirahara Yuudai was laughing at him now, but Chiffon was not angry. Hirahara Yuudai was thinking like a normal person because he still did not know how strong Chiffon was.

In Hirahara Yuudai's eyes, Chiffon was probably at most ranked beyond fiftieth place. That was only because Chiffon often claimed that his strength could rival the Five Kings and Seven Saints, leading him to that conclusion.

Otherwise, Hirahara Yuudai would definitely have believed Chiffon ranked beyond one hundredth place. After all, countless people came to the Underground Heroes Arena every day to challenge others, but they were merely small-scale scuffles.

There were even fights at the level of petty thugs, though those were not held on the first underground floor, but on the second. The Underground Heroes Arena was far larger than just this.

Chiffon had only recently learned that the Underground Heroes Arena had four levels in total, and each level was much larger than the one above it. Matches involving the Three Emperors and Seven Saints were generally held on the fourth underground level, where the arena alone covered at least a thousand square meters and was extremely sturdy all around.

The Underground Heroes Arena had existed for decades without ever having a problem or suffering a collapse, which showed just how deep its foundations were.

"Stop laughing. When exactly can I watch the Seven Saints fight?" Chiffon asked.

Hirahara Yuudai picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. "As long as no one challenges the Seven Saints, they will not fight. But I think someone will challenge the Seven Saints soon."

Chiffon thought of the same person and immediately said, "You mean that Savage Mountain from today. He'll challenge the Seven Saints!"

"Looks like you're not completely stupid." Hirahara Yuudai suddenly turned serious. "I think Savage Mountain is very strong. He crippled Little Cannon with one punch, then killed him. Even the person ranked first among the Five Kings could not say they could kill Little Cannon that quickly."

"Still, it depends on the Quirk. The top figure among the Five Kings is called Miao Shanpu. His Quirk is water-based. I've never watched one of his matches, but I know he can turn his entire body into water." Hirahara Yuudai continued analyzing, "If Miao Shanpu turns into water, then no matter how strong Savage Mountain is, he cannot defeat him, because there is no point of impact."

Chiffon suddenly shook his head. "You may be wrong about something. Savage Mountain is not a strength-type fighter. His Quirk seems to be a kind of impact force. This power does not need a point of impact. If Savage Mountain is strong enough, he can strike from a distance."

Hirahara Yuudai said in shock, "If that's the case, then Miao Shanpu is in some danger. If Savage Mountain's target is the Seven Saints, he'll have to defeat Miao Shanpu first."
