In the alley, Batman frowned, looking at the arrogant man in front of him.
He had seen many people like this before, and they would definitely not disappear in the future. Those who were bursting with confidence wouldn't listen to others' advice.
"What you do is your own business, it has nothing to do with me, just be careful not to cross the line."
Bruce said a few simple words and turned to leave. The gap in their viewpoints made him abandon the idea of giving more advice.
In the blink of an eye, only Gavin was left in the cold, damp alley. Looking at the empty alley, he pouted unhappily, "Without you, I can be a superhero on my own, just you wait."
A few days later, in the early morning, White Night got up from his soft bed, stretched, and slowly yawned.
After finishing his simple washing up, following his old habits, he watched the news on TV.
A lot had happened in the last few days. Firstly, the security levels in every city had significantly increased.
Previously, it was good enough for a city to have one S-Class hero guarding it. Now, with the Reincarnators' decentralized filling, it was equivalent to having an extra S-Class hero on average.
Of course, in contrast to this! The monsters' destruction was becoming increasingly frenzied with the addition of Reincarnators from the opposing faction.
"Yo, White Night, we meet again."
Leaving the villa, White Night strolled down the street, and a vibrant, powerful voice rang out.
Without turning around, White Night knew that the guy speaking was definitely striding towards him with a gait that disregarded everyone.
Turning his head, he saw Saitama, who was now ranked 3rd in B-Class, the One-Punch Man.
After clearly demonstrating his strength, the previous instances of people claiming to have defeated monsters in his name significantly decreased.
It was only a matter of time before Saitama was promoted to S-Class; simply defeating a Demon-Level Monster would greatly improve his ranking.
"I don't recall you usually operating in this district." White Night looked around in confusion. "There aren't any monsters around here either. Did you come here specifically to see me?"
"Yes, White Night-san, let's have a fight." Saitama clenched his fist, his gaze fixed, and spoke seriously.
"Are you crazy?" White Night rolled his eyes. "With my little arms and legs, just say you want to kill me directly. No need to use a fight as an excuse."
"I can tell, White Night-san, that you are completely different from everyone else."
Looking at White Night, who was complaining, Saitama's expression couldn't help but become serious. "In the past few days, I can clearly feel that your threat level to me has increased by nearly a factor of two, although it's still negligible."
"You could have just left out the last part." White Night gazed at the bustling streets in the distance, and asked, "I really think you're a strange person. Why are you so fixated on having an evenly matched opponent?"
"Isn't it good to be invincible?" White Night asked, puzzled.
"But then you lose the thrilling feeling of a fight," Saitama replied, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"I remember, before you got this power, you weren't exactly a battle maniac, were you? You were just a salaryman who didn't even fight back when you were bullied in high school? You're the only one who would be bothered by something like getting power."
White Night couldn't understand his thought process. When he didn't have power, he didn't fight back against bullies. Now that he had power, he was looking for opponents.
"So, let's fight!" A spark of fighting spirit lit up in Saitama's eyes as he repeated himself.
"No way, fighting you would make me look stupid," White Night refused without hesitation.
If it were a fight against someone like the Fastest Woman's Thousand Cuts, he might consider it, but fighting Saitama wasn't worth it.
What if, in the middle of the fight, he got all fired up and serious like this idiot?
After completely finishing the fight, his own physical attributes would probably skyrocket to a level of mental strength that was impossible to fathom, which was completely meaningless.
"Please, White Night-kun, this is a request for my entire life." Saitama blocked White Night's path at lightning speed, performing a standard 90-degree bow, his tone incredibly sincere.
Annoyed at being pestered by this idiot, White Night said seriously, "I can fight you, but you have to bring me a beauty!"
"Hey! Are you some kind of perverted Master Roshi?" Saitama stared at White Night, bewildered. "Kidnapping people is against the law in modern society."
"That's your problem," White Night smiled faintly.
Watching White Night's leisurely departing figure, Saitama began to seriously consider this problem.
He remembered the mechanical man who came to his door yesterday, wanting to be his disciple after he defeated the mosquito swarm. If he tricked him into cross-dressing, would it be possible to fool White Night?
While Saitama was pondering, he didn't see a black shadow streak across the sky, flying towards White Night.
"I can't bear it anymore, please accept my love."
On the street, a muscular man in a black and white prison uniform, with a stubble on his face, blocked White Night's path, his expression filled with longing.
The crowd around them watched the two on the street with surprise, but in the prisoner's eyes, there was only the man in front of him, who seemed to be radiating light.
"I am the S-Class Hero, Prisoner!" The prisoner introduced himself, blocking White Night's way. "Because I saw your magnificent figure on TV in prison, I couldn't help but escape to see you."
"As long as you accept my love, I promise from now on, I will be pure and devoted to... Ahhhhh!"
Halfway through speaking, the impatient White Night flicked his finger, and a burst of energy shot out.
A raging airflow as thick as a building instantly engulfed Prisoner's body, spreading out and blasting away most of his body in an instant.
Everything within a kilometer was destroyed in its wake, and blood stained the wall behind him.
This fellow S-Class Hero, Prisoner, couldn't even withstand a single move from White Night's attack and was turned into a bloody pulp.
"What the hell? They're doing gay stuff in front of me and it's making me sick. It's ruining my appetite today, ugh!"
Screams erupted all around, but White Night just rubbed his ears. Even though he thought he might have gone a bit overboard, he continued to stroll down the street, expressionless.
A minute later, the Hero Association headquarters received the report of Prisoner's death, and they immediately became serious.
It was rare to encounter the death of an S-Class Hero.
"Prisoner is dead? Who did it?!" The higher-ups of the Association were instantly grave.
"It's... it's Kexing Ren. He killed Prisoner in public on the street. What should we do?"
A subordinate stammered, while the Association leader furrowed his brow deeply.
He hadn't expected Prisoner to be killed by one of their own, and in such a blatant way. The situation had escalated quickly.
After much deliberation, he finally decided, "Since Kexing Ren killed someone, we absolutely cannot ignore it."
"If he's in Z-City, have Bang-sensei deal with him immediately. Also, control the media, don't let this kind of negative news spread."
"And, remember to control the level of force used, don't kill him." The Hero Association leader said, a bit wary of the S-Class and A-Class heroes White Night brought with him.
"Yes!" Receiving the leader's order, the Hero Association headquarters immediately sprang into action.
In complete silence, White Night's hero number was removed from the hero roster. This was not announced to the public, obviously a decision to handle the situation quietly.
Of course, this still couldn't escape the notice of those with ulterior motives. The Reincarnators watched with surprise as White Night's name was removed from the list.
Meanwhile, Bang, who was at home teaching his disciples, also unexpectedly received a call from the Hero Association.
"Hello, Hero Association? What can I do for you?" Bang habitually hunched over as he picked up the phone, but the content quickly made his expression serious.
"I understand, I will take action." Bang said sternly.
After hanging up the phone, his somewhat hunched frame immediately straightened, and the fading Blood Essence throughout his body surged, causing muscles to bulge.
"Teacher, what happened?" The disciples of the dojo looked at their teacher, who had suddenly become serious, puzzled. They couldn't understand what had caused their usually laid-back master to be so serious.
"Going to deal with an opponent." Bang said, turning to open the dojo's doors and running straight out. His steps were like flight, each stride covering dozens of meters as he ran down the mountain.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Reincarnators who had noticed White Night's removal were all calling the Hero Association to inquire about the situation.
"What do you mean? Kexing Ren is our leader. How could you silently remove our leader's name from the official hero roster?"
So many heroes simultaneously pressured the Association with questions, immediately increasing the Hero Association's pressure. The high-ranking official who had made the decision could only come forward to explain.
"I apologize, heroes. Just now, Kexing Ren killed the Association's S-Class Hero, Prisoner. This behavior has seriously violated the hero code of conduct, and our action is reasonable and legal."
The leader spoke righteously into the microphone. He thought this action would lead to a barrage of attacks from White Night's subordinates, but what he received was the other party's surprised voice: "In other words, Kexing Ren… no, White Night is now considered a wanted monster?"
The Hero Association executives, who hadn't quite grasped the other party's train of thought, were stunned for a moment before saying, "...We haven't yet issued a wanted notice for Kexing Ren. After all, this is an internal matter for the Hero Association, and we will consider your feelings. However, we also ask that you understand the difficulties the Association faces."
"Understood, understood, we completely understand."
A hint of excitement laced the Reincarnators' voices as they continued, "If White Night were to become a wanted criminal, what level of Monster do you think he would be classified as? Demon Level or Dragon Level?"
"Based on Kexing Ren's strength, he should be able to hunt Dragon-Level Monsters on his own," the Hero Association executive said uncertainly.
After all, White Night had only joined them a few days ago, and they didn't fully understand his strength.
"In that case, let us handle him. Let us eliminate him!" the Reincarnators declared.
"Huh?" The Hero Association executives, who hadn't expected this outcome, were all stunned. They couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Kexing Ren one of your..."
"That's right, he is indeed our boss, but since he's committed a wrong, he naturally deserves the appropriate punishment."
"We've always been about the matter, not the person. Even if my own father committed a crime, I'd bring him to justice myself!"
Ivanov on the other end of the phone smiled, "So, since he's done something, of course we'll take action."
"But it would lack justification. Please, put Kexing Ren's name on the wanted list as a Dragon-Level Monster and prove our righteousness."
Not long after the Hero Association hung up, Ivanov and the other Reincarnators sneered.
There were only a few Monsters above Demon Level, and resources were scarce, not to mention that defeating White Night would count as an achievement.
Since that was the case, they might as well eliminate this thorn in their side.
On the streets of Z-City, after beating up Prisoner, White Night leaned back comfortably in a noodle shop chair, eating his noodles without a care in the world.
Around him, people kept cautiously observing him.
Although the Hero Association had tried to cover it up, the news of an S-Class Hero dying in the street inevitably spread.
The timid had already fled after seeing White Night rush in, leaving behind only the bloodthirsty onlookers who loved a good show.
"Clatter!"
At that moment, the noodle shop's curtain was pulled aside. Bang, his expression unreadable, scanned the crowd. He noticed White Night's back, walked in, and sat down beside him, waiting.
Seeing someone sit down beside him, White Night glanced at him without speaking, continuing to eat his udon noodles. After all, it wouldn't taste good if the noodles got soggy.
Three minutes later, White Night gently placed his bowl on the table and walked out without a word. Bang silently followed.
The two walked out of the street in silence. Although they didn't do anything conspicuous, their appearances were their own advertisements. Just by showing their faces, they attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
"To be honest, I was very surprised to see you come first." White Night's lips curled slightly as he turned to Bang and spoke his first words.
"Your actions have crossed the line. You actually killed the Prisoner, who is also a hero." Bang's face tightened. Having experienced the Garou defection, he was somewhat triggered by this event.
"Whatever," White Night said, showing no concern for the Prisoner's death. He stared at the old man in front of him. "Are you going to make a move? Here? Go ahead and strike first."
Bang didn't hesitate. He clasped his fingers together tightly, lowered his body, and assumed the starting stance of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist. In that instant, White Night felt the shift in his opponent's aura.
'Oh-ho, so this is the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, huh? Got it, got it, I can definitely use this next time!'
White Night focused intently on Bang's posture, analyzing his martial arts with almost nanoscopic precision.
