Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 197 Saitama VS Tank Top Master

Is Saitama a good person?

In Bai Ye's assessment, he was undoubtedly a good person.

Although he had all sorts of desires.

I want to be worshipped by everyone, to be a big star and a hero; I want to have a wealthy life; I want...

But all of these desires are just human nature. Despite having the power to not eat beef, he never abused his power to obtain them.

Even if he doesn't abuse his power, gold shines wherever it is, and someone should have noticed his difference and then obtained everything through normal means.

But he didn't. Despite possessing invincible power, the damn fate of this world and the bizarre perception of the masses, which seemed to alter common sense, forced Saitama to remain unknown for three years, living a cramped life in the suburbs like a piece of trash from the sewers.

If Saitama were just an emotionless machine, that would be one thing, but he clearly has all sorts of human desires, yet this damned world is toying with him like this.

If it were Bai Ye himself, he would have said no to this world long ago, and then attacked everyone he met, going on a rampage across the entire world like a madman!

Why should good people have to be held at gunpoint?

He wants to change anything that Bai Ye cannot tolerate.

"So, let me help you become famous." Dream Angel Byakuya patted Saitama on the shoulder and said, "Then you'll become a big star, live in a big house, and won't have to worry about supermarket sales."

"This..." Saitama scratched his forehead with his red-gloved fingers, feeling a shameful flutter in his heart.

"Then it's decided. Come on, I'll take you to report on becoming a hero." With a goal in mind, Bai Ye said with great enthusiasm.

"Become a hero?" Saitama scratched his head in confusion. "Aren't I already a hero?"

"You're a hero, but in other people's eyes you're nothing but a nobody," Bai Ye said ambiguously.

"Three years ago, a Hero Association was established. In other people's eyes, only those who have been tested in the association and proved their strength can be considered regular heroes. Moreover, the higher the ranking of a hero, the stronger they are and the more famous they are."

"Nobody knows a non-professional hero like you. Just like the Joker, you get nothing out of defeating monsters except for adding them to your dinner," Bai Ye said disdainfully.

"Do you still get paid if you're a pro hero?" Saitama's eyes lit up.

"Nonsense, even a Rank A would earn at least several hundred thousand yuan a month. For the past three years, you've been working for others for nothing. All the monsters you've defeated have been claimed by others under false names and become their pay slips," Bai Ye said, rolling his eyes.

"Is...is that so?" Saitama was shocked. He realized he had missed so much all this time. No wonder he had been fighting monsters for so long and still had no reputation.

"Otherwise, what hero would be as poor and unknown as you? Even Spider-Man has a huge reputation." Bai Ye continued to stab him in the heart, then pulled him directly toward the Hero Association.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't pull me, I'll go with you." Saitama couldn't help but say as Bai Ye pulled him along.

……

Inside the Hero Association, Byakuya pointed to Saitama beside him and said to the staff, "This is my friend. He has a record of defeating Dragon-level monsters, but his brain has been messed up in the past few years. You should give him a strength test first."

"Yes, yes, yes." The staff nodded vigorously. Bai Ye had now become a key focus of the association.

It's worth noting that Bai Ye brought numerous S-class and A-class heroes to the association with just one sentence.

Furthermore, those people consider themselves Bai Ye's subordinates, which will be a huge force. The higher-ups at headquarters have specifically instructed that if Bai Ye makes any similar requests again, they should do their best to fulfill them.

"Who's the nemesis! Step forward!" A furious roar echoed throughout the association from outside, drawing everyone's attention.

Bai Ye turned around and saw a burly man in a vest, with well-defined muscles, standing at the entrance of the association, searching his surroundings with angry eyes.

"It's Tanktop Master, the 14th ranked S-class hero!"

"Why did he come here, and why does it seem like he's here to cause trouble for my nemesis?"

"You idiot, didn't you see that the 9th ranked A-level vegetarian in a vest being carried away on a stretcher? He must have come to avenge his underlings."

……

The staff around him started chattering, which reminded Bai Ye that the hero he had defeated earlier was indeed wearing a vest, so he was this guy's underling?

At this moment, after scanning the interior of the association, the Vest Venerable's gaze fell on Bai Ye, and he walked straight towards him.

"You're the nemesis, aren't you? After causing a ruckus at the association and injuring a hero, do you still think you deserve to be an S-class hero?"

The Vest Venerable stared intently at Bai Ye, his muscles bulging, as if he were ready to attack at any moment.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you. The weak don't deserve my reasoning." Bai Ye said disdainfully, "You just want to fight, don't you? No matter how much I talk, you won't stop punching me in the face."

"Hiss!" The people around gasped at Bai Ye's answer, their eyes lighting up as they watched the spectacle unfold.

Meanwhile, the Vest Venerable had subconsciously clenched his right fist, preparing to smash it into Bai Ye's face.

But before he could make a move, Bai Ye turned to the staff and said, "Hello, there's no need for the test arranged for my friend. There's clearly a better target here."

With that, Bai Ye lifted Saitama up and placed him between himself and Tank Top Master, saying, "Hey, Tank Top Master, if you want to fight me, you'll have to get past my subordinate first. If you can't even beat him, you're not qualified to face me."

Saitama, suddenly dragged into the dispute: ?

"You bastard!!!" Tank Top Venerable clenched his fists. Bai Ye's words were indeed extremely sarcastic, and he felt his anger surging up.

Tanktop Master looked at the bald man blocking his way, while Saitama, who had witnessed Byakuya's attack firsthand, subconsciously waved his hand and said, "Hey, stop fighting, you can't beat him."

But the Tank Top Master was not listening to any of this at the moment. His large, fan-like hand was already waving towards Saitama, trying to slap him away.

But amidst the excited gazes around him, his powerful hand was easily grasped by Saitama, who then stared at him with deadpan eyes and said, "Hey, don't rush, let me step aside first before you fight."

"Oh, he does have some skill after all. No wonder he sent you to stop me."

The Vest-Top Venerable looked at the bald man in front of him seriously: "You mean you want to fight in an open space? There's no need. I didn't use any force just now. I can easily finish you off now."

"That's not what I meant, I..." Saitama wanted to explain, but the Tank Top Master, who was now completely serious, threw a punch at the bald man with 70% of his strength, intending to knock him unconscious.

Then, in the eyes of the Tank Top Master who had just narrowed his pupils, he realized that his serious punch had been easily caught by the other party.

Saitama said with a helpless expression, "You don't listen to anyone at all."
