"It's nothing, it's all my own fault. Maybe I'm overthinking it, please don't worry about it. By the way, did you have fun today, Child Emperor?" The zombie man shook his head and said, no longer looking at Abigail.

"It's alright. But since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions," Child Emperor replied.

"Okay, I understand." After saying that, the zombie man turned his head, raised his glass, and took a sip.

Abigail didn't care much about the zombie man's hostility towards her. What he thought of her was none of her business, and she didn't need to explain herself to him.

Instead of wasting time, why not think about what fun things to do?

As time passed and the banquet progressed into its second half, Abigail witnessed a rather cringe-worthy dance, led by three super-muscular men from the S-class heroes.

Afterwards, the heroes who got along well gathered together to chat, drink, and eat. As for some of the heroes who were alone, they left the banquet early after finishing their meals. As for Abigail, although she didn't know any heroes, there was nothing fun to do outside, so she simply sat in her seat and ate slowly.

Just then, Abigail noticed something interesting.

Across from him, Tornado, seemingly unaccustomed to drinking, was about to hand her drink to Jeros, who was sitting next to her.

Just then, Saitama walked by and casually said, "Kids shouldn't drink alcohol. What are you doing trying to be like an adult? You should be drinking orange juice. I'll go pour you some." He then placed the bottle on his seat and left. Genos immediately stood up and followed Saitama.

Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal; at most, it would just be Saitama treating Tatsumaki like a child. However, for Tatsumaki, it was something completely unacceptable. It was a huge blow to her pride.

So Tatsumaki took the "Drinking Dragon" sake that Saitama had put aside, poured it into her own glass, and started drinking it.

Seeing Tornado's face growing increasingly red, Abigail suddenly smiled.

"Hmm? Abigail, have you finished eating?"

At this moment, Child Emperor, seeing Abigail stand up to leave, asked curiously.

"Well, I've almost finished eating. I'm going back to my room now." Abigail stood up and left her seat.

Abigail then stood up and left the banquet.

Since Abigail and Tatsumaki were the only two women on this trip, and they were friends, the Hero Association arranged for them to share rooms. Abigail is now going back to her room to wait for Tatsumaki, who has been waiting the longest, to return so they can do some fun things.

However, Abigail didn't know how long it would take for Tornado to return to the room, so before that, Abigail decided to go out and look around, wandering around to see if she could see anything interesting.

Although there were no lights in the hotel corridor, it wasn't completely dark because of the moon; in fact, it was quite bright.

“Oh, Abigail. We meet again.” In the dimly lit corridor, Bang was standing to one side, gazing at the distant scenery. Noticing Abigail's arrival, Bang turned and greeted her.

“Old man, why aren’t you asleep so late? What are you doing here admiring the scenery? You look like you’ve had quite a bit to drink,” Abigail said as she walked over.

"Haha, although this wine is quite potent, it's still not enough for me. By the way, Abigail, there's something I want to ask you."

"What is it?" Abigail asked, somewhat curious.

"Regarding the alien invasion incident a few days ago, I hope you can tell me the truth. I want to know if Saitama resolved this incident," Bang then asked his question.

"What does it matter? The matter has already been resolved. What the truth is is no longer important," Abigail said casually. She had no interest in reconstructing the entire process.

"Consider it satisfying my curiosity. I noticed a few odd things during this incident. First, the four of us—Atomic Samurai, Sexy Criminal, and Iron Bat—were fighting one of the powerful aliens. But halfway through the fight, the alien seemed to return to its spaceship because of the intruders. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. However, the sudden crash of the spaceship afterwards made me realize that things weren't as simple as they seemed."

"Everyone assumed that Tornado shot down the spaceship. While it's undeniable that Tornado is incredibly powerful, and her attacks on the spaceship seemed quite effective, I still don't believe that the alien who fought the four of us earlier was the strongest on that spaceship. He seemed to be just there to clear the way, which means there must have been a leader on that spaceship who was even more powerful than him."

"However, after the spaceship crashed, we didn't find anyone resembling the leader. There were also countless alien corpses on the ship. Judging from their wounds, there were three main types: first, blunt force injuries that were fatal, but further examination suggested they were just ordinary punches; second, lacerations, but Atomic Samurai was with me at the time, so we can confirm it wasn't him. Therefore, I boldly speculate that you were the one who caused these lacerations. You seemed to have used a katana when you defeated Deep Sea King. Finally, there were burns from flames, which undoubtedly belonged to Genos."

Bang pointed out the suspicious points of this matter. As for why he was able to connect these things, it's actually very simple: he is one of the few people who knows Saitama's true fighting strength.

"Old man, you're quite the analyst. Actually, you guessed right. Saitama really did solve this. Without Saitama, Boros could have wiped out everyone on Earth by himself; no one would have survived. As for the specifics, if you really want to know, go ask Saitama yourself. I'm too lazy to recount the whole process again. I'm not talking to you anymore; I'm going to sleep." With that, Abigail turned and left.

As Abigail's figure gradually disappeared down the corridor, Bang turned around again to look into the distance.

As expected, Saitama resolved this matter. So, Abigail, what role did you play in it? Sigh, I hope the old man is just overthinking things.

Chapter Ninety-Four: The Murder at the Hot Spring Inn

The night passed, and in the morning, Abigail got out of bed feeling refreshed. She changed her clothes, opened the door, and left the room.

As Abigail walked down the hotel corridor, she noticed a large crowd gathered ahead, but she didn't know what had happened.

"Hey, what's going on here? Why are you all gathered around?" Abigail squeezed through the crowd and asked, somewhat puzzled. Then, she didn't need anyone to answer, because she had already seen it.

"By the way, how did this guy get killed?"

At this moment, the zombie man was lying on the ground with a sword stuck in his back. He seemed to be dead. Everyone else was gathered around, and Child Emperor was checking on the zombie man's condition.

“We don’t know yet. But even if there’s a huge flaw, there aren’t many people who could kill an S-class hero like him, so without a doubt, the culprit is probably among us,” Child Emperor said.

Abigail was quite curious about the scene, but there was one thing that puzzled her: wasn't the zombie man supposed to be immortal? Did this sword have some special function? Like, could it kill the undead? But there wasn't any red light on the sword either.

At this moment, the Child Emperor stood up and then spoke.

"First and foremost, the murder weapon..."

At this point, Child Emperor turned to look at Atomic Samurai beside him.

“Yes, it’s mine. But my knife was on the banquet table, and someone secretly took it.” Atomic Samurai said calmly, but she added at the end, “You suspect me? We were just drinking over there, weren’t we?”

Atomic Samurai then turned to look at Bang beside him.

"Hmm." Bang nodded.

"What are you doing? Are you suggesting we coordinate our stories?" Atomic Samurai said somewhat irritably, looking at Child Emperor's sharp gaze.

“Atomic Samurai is innocent.” At this moment, a muscular man said, “Sich and I were here too. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Sich.”

“Indeed, his testimony is quite credible,” Tong Di said after thinking for a moment.

"But speaking of which, I remember Silver Fang seemed to have left for a while in the middle of the story. Where did you go during that time?" Atomic Samurai asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Oh, I had been drinking a bit too much around that time, so I came out for a walk and to enjoy the night breeze. But I happened to run into Miss Abigail then, and we chatted for a bit,” Bang explained.

"Old man, what are you talking about? I don't remember seeing you when I went back. You didn't drink too much and are hallucinating, did you?" At this moment, Abigail suddenly said that she had never seen Bang.

"Hmm?" Abigail's words instantly drew all eyes to Bang.

“Hey, Miss Abigail, how could you lie? We were just talking about this alien invasion, and you even told me that the leader of the aliens is a guy named Boros,” Bang said慌张地, looking at everyone’s gaze.

“Miss Abigail, please stop joking. What you’re doing will only make me look like I’m in the wrong.”

"Silver Fang, what were you doing all that time?" Child Emperor stared at Silver Fang with sharp eyes, while the others were also looking at him, which put a lot of pressure on him.

“Hey, the old man probably wasn’t lying. The leader of that alien spaceship is indeed named Boros. Only Abby and I knew about this. If the old man knows now, it must be because Abby told him.” Saitama suddenly said from the side.

“That’s right, and besides, I had no motive to kill anyone.” Silver Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Saitama defend him.

“That’s true, but I seem to have heard something interesting from what you’re saying. Well, let’s put that aside for now and talk about what’s going on here. Speaking of motives, I just remembered that Abigail and Zombieman seem to have some kind of grudge, although I don’t know exactly what it is, but…” At this point, Child Emperor turned to look at Abigail, and the meaning he wanted to express was quite clear.

“Miss Abigail, do you have anything to say about this matter? First of all, you have a motive to kill Zombie Man. Secondly, given your attempt to shift the blame to Silver Fang just now, we have every reason to suspect that you are the murderer in this incident.”

"Uh, how did this get dragged into me? Let me make this clear, I didn't do it," Abigail said, somewhat speechless.

She had initially hoped to make things a little more interesting, but unexpectedly, it had turned into a disadvantage for her. She had forgotten that she and this guy seemed to have a grudge, although in essence, it wasn't between her and him. But that's how others perceived it. Was this what they called "lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot"?

"Then what about your earlier attempt to shift the blame to Silver Fang?" Child Emperor questioned.

“It’s fun,” Abigail said.

"Fun?!" Everyone looked at Abigail with some surprise, especially Silver Fang Bang. He initially thought he had offended Abigail somewhere, but he didn't expect that Abigail had framed him for this reason.

“In any case, Miss Abigail, you are the prime suspect right now. Do you have anything to say?” Child Emperor was the first to recover from his surprise and asked Abigail.

"Hmm? Let me think... To be honest, I don't really have anyone who can vouch for me. But like that old man said, I chatted with him for a while before going back to my room tonight, and then I went to sleep. As for anyone who can prove I went to sleep, there's no one there. Believe it or not, it's up to you," Abigail said casually.

"By the way, speaking of my previous motives, I have no grudge against this guy. It was all his one-sided hatred towards me. I think you don't know this, but this guy was actually the 66th Undying Experiment Subject who escaped from the House of Evolution. However, that was before I took over the House of Evolution."

"Hmm, I see. But given your previous lies, why should we believe you?"

“Child Emperor, my teacher and I can testify to this. We went to the headquarters of the House of Evolution together. And it was after that that Miss Abigail took over the House of Evolution and did what she has done now.”

Child Emperor looked up at Jeros, who had spoken, then nodded and said, "Alright, Jeros, since you put it that way, then that's how it is. Now the investigation is back to where it started..."

“Speaking of motives, I remember now, prisoner, I saw you staring at the zombie man’s profile.” Just then, the burly black man standing to the side pointed at the sexy prisoner next to him and said.

“Yeah. I think it’s awesome,” the sexy prisoner replied.

"What's so great?!"

"I was just thinking, how great it would be if the little zombie were one of my people. Besides, the only ones who could force me to take action are the most vicious criminals, and I certainly wouldn't do something like murder. What a waste," said the sexy prisoner, who is, in fact, completely gay. Quite a few men have taken a liking to him.

“But you’re the only one among us who’s been to jail, even though it’s like a daily occurrence for you, and you have the lowest social credit…” Child Emperor said, looking at the sexy prisoner with distrust.

“That’s your prejudice,” the sexy prisoner retorted.

"It's just a matter of elimination from a moral standpoint," Child Emperor then stated.

“If that’s the case, I also have a clue.” The sexy prisoner said, looking at Saitama beside him: “There are a few words in his conversation with the little zombie that sound dangerous.”

Then the sexy prisoner asked Saitama:
