Metal Bat asked confusedly: "By the way, why did you bring back a monster this big?"
Tatsumaki said: "Didn't we get told to bring back some items from other worlds? I saw this guy was very special, big and fierce. There must be lots of information we can get from him, so I brought him back."
Both immediately fell silent.
Crazy.
Even though this guy was big, he was just an animal. What information could be obtained from someone like this? For scientists to research genetic mutations?
At this time, the elevator door opened.
A group of Hero Association senior leaders came out, and the suited man who led the previous meeting was among them.
"What's wrong, Tatsumaki, was this your doing?"
The suited man immediately asked.
Tatsumaki nodded, squinting at him: "Yes, you got a problem?"
The suited man sweated profusely: "No, no, I was just asking casually."
Although they were the founders who supported the Hero Association financially behind the scenes, facing an S-Class Hero like this, it was better to be a bit cowardly. After all, they absolutely didn't care how much money the executives had.
Even if the executives had lots of money, could they withstand one punch?
Tatsumaki pointed her thumb toward the large giant behind her, proudly saying: "A giant this big should be worth many missions, right? I want to rest for a bit, don't disturb me!"
After saying that, she wanted to leave.
The suited man hurriedly stopped her, and smiled apologetically: "Tatsumaki, I think you misunderstood. Something like this has absolutely no research value whatsoever, and only takes up space. Even if we extract genetic data from it to research, it would take too much time, and couldn't possibly be used on human bodies. If so, what difference is there between us and the people at the Monster Association?"
Tatsumaki's eyebrows immediately raised, and her tone wasn't friendly: "You mean, I wasted my time? This mission doesn't count?"
The leaders immediately retreated in unison, and waved their hands repeatedly.
The suited man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He knew this big woman had a bad temper, and didn't dare make her angry.
"No, no, no, of course it's still useful. We can extract some special cells from another world from this large giant. Although it can't be used for human modification, but knowing yourself and the enemy ensures victory, right? Besides, a giant this big has so much meat, we can cut it up for disaster relief. Currently many people can't eat because of the disaster. You've made a great contribution!"
Tatsumaki immediately became happy: "See, I'm still useful!"
"Of course, of course!" The suited man nodded repeatedly.
While everyone was discussing, outside there came again a large rumbling sound, as if something fell to the ground again.
Everyone hurriedly looked out.
They were all dumbfounded.
Visible was a young man whose entire body was covered in golden battle armor holding a large ship in one hand, and dropping it to the ground. A pair of golden wings on his back flapped slowly, causing strong winds and dust. The ground beneath his feet cracked like a spider's web and spread in all directions.
"Oh! King, long time no see!"
Saitama greeted King across from him, the golden battle armor on his body shrank back into his body, and the cool red cape was worn again.
*THUD-THUD-THUD!*
The King Engine sound in King's chest grew louder again. He stared at Saitama for a long time without speaking.
"This baldy fell in front of King, there's a smell of provocation. Will he move?"
"I know that guy. He's a newly promoted S-Class Hero, his name is Saitama. It seems he replaced Blast and became S-Class Hero rank one!"
"What? He replaced Blast's position? What qualifications does he have?"
"I'm not too clear about that, but looking at his appearance, he's truly strong. He carried a ship that big without difficulty. Quick look, there are people on that ship!"
"Does King want to challenge him? The King Engine sound is getting louder. Is he dissatisfied with this guy who suddenly became S-Class Hero rank one?"
King stiffly turned his head, glancing at the crowd discussing, his eyes as cold as ice.
'You're all talking nonsense!'
King cursed in his heart.
The reason he stood here without moving at all was because he was scared and couldn't move!
'As for what this King Engine is, my heart is just beating faster from fear. Can't I have a special physique and strong heart?'
"Mr. Saitama, what's this?"
The leaders, including the suited man, and heroes like Tatsumaki, walked out together, and all looked curiously toward Saitama.
Saitama tossed the large ship in his hand to the side. A loud sound was heard. The bottom of the ship broke, and wails and groans were heard from above.
Only then could everyone see clearly.
There were indeed many people on this ship. They were all tied hand and foot. They fell prostrate and complained of pain from Saitama's throw.
Saitama pointed at the ship and said: "This is what I saw when I passed the sea. This should be what's called a pirate ship. Seeing there are many people on this ship, there should be lots of information that can be obtained. There should be many items on the ship. I brought it all back together because I was afraid something would be missed."
Everyone: "..."
Amazing!
His way of thinking was almost the same as Tatsumaki's.
Bringing back both people and ship at once because afraid something would be missed.
The suited man showed joy, and called out: "Quick, inspect the entire ship, and bring the people above down. Be careful, these people might have decent power!"
Soon, several heroes at headquarters led strong security personnel up the ship, and began bringing people down, as well as searching the entire inside of the ship.
But soon, an A-Class Hero leading came running closer, his expression strange.
"Captain, the situation seems not right."
"Hm?"
The suited man stared at him confused: "What's not right?"
The hero carefully glanced at Saitama, swallowed and said: "That... The people on this ship seem to be ordinary people. There's nothing on the ship, just some ordinary supplies, and..."
"And what? Don't beat around the bush!"
The suited man frowned.
"And, this ship seems to be a ship from our world. Hearing their captain, they're a giant rescue ship made by country J to avoid disaster. Due to a sea accident, they were caught here not long after escaping..."
Everyone: "..."
The suited man looked toward Saitama, and said softly: "Mr. Saitama, didn't you say this was a pirate ship from another world?"
Saitama also looked confused: "Wasn't it? But I don't understand what they're saying! Isn't that proof?"
The suited man took a deep breath, and asked: "Forgive me, can you speak country J's language?"
"No."
"Then you..."
The suited man almost cursed, but swallowed the words halfway, smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Forget it, let's take care of them first. In the face of disaster, everyone is a victim. Since Mr. Saitama brought them back, we're obligated to care for them."
The A-Class Hero received the order and left. Before long, cheers were heard from the side of the large ship: "Long live Mr. Saitama!"
Saitama smiled and waved: "You've all worked hard! This is all my duty!"
