"You're just trying to pick me up while I'm drunk, don't even think about it."

"Occasionally... there are delinquents who want to test their skills as professional heroes and are prone to fighting."

"It's not too late to regret it."

Golden Ball kept chattering behind Garou, which made Garou a little impatient.

"Shut up, you drunkard! I am..." Garou turned his head as he spoke, but at that moment he suddenly noticed an object flying rapidly in front of him. With his superb reflexes, Garou dodged the attack.

"Still too green, Hero Hunter." At this moment, Golden Ball was no longer the drunkard he had been before.

"Did Master Tanktop really lose to this brat?" Golden Ball asked, somewhat doubtfully.

"Let me tell you, I'm a professional hunter too. I can take you down in two moves."

After saying that, the golden ball fired another bullet at Garou.

However, Garou dodged this attack with great ease.

"Judging the trajectory from the movements of my hand?" Golden Ball immediately saw through Garou's situation.

"How about this move?" After saying that, the Golden Ball fired another bullet in the direction of the Garou.

Garou still didn't pay much attention to the bullet, but to his surprise, the attack hit the wall and bounced back, piercing through his calf.

"Good luck, you missed a vital spot. How about that? Pretty impressive, right, hero?"

"Good luck? He was clearly drunk and couldn't control himself." While the wolf was speaking, he glanced around, memorizing the surrounding terrain.

"You didn't kill me with that last move, you've already lost." Hungry Wolf pointed at the golden ball and said confidently.

"What a pity, I still have so many bullets." Golden Ball took out a handful of bullets from his pocket and said to Hungry Wolf as he tossed them around.

"Let's launch all the shape memory bullets at once!"

Then Golden Ball placed all the bullets in his hand onto his slingshot.

"Deadly move! Golden Ball Burst!"

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen pinballs were launched towards the wolf. The numerous pinballs bounced back and forth on the walls of the alley, making it impossible to predict where the next one would go.

However, even under such a dense attack, Garou dodged all the pinball attacks with minimal movements, and even blocked some of the pinballs with his hands or feet and knocked them against the wall.

"He dodged it with a very small movement..." Golden Ball looked at the wolf's movements with surprise: "I take back what I said, he's a formidable guy."

"But..." At this moment, Golden Ball pulled back his slingshot again: "One last shot! The decisive blow!"

However, the final blow that the golden ball had pinned its hopes on was easily swatted away by the wolf, hitting the wall next to it.

The golden ball was completely stunned when it saw this.

"My eyes have gotten used to it. How was that just now? The monster was pretty amazing, wasn't he?" Garou slightly modified what the Golden Ball had said earlier and returned it to him.

"I'm different from you, I'm very perceptive..." Garou clenched his right hand into his left, glaring fiercely at the Golden Ball: "This is the end, die!"

Just as the wolf was about to attack the golden ball, a handkerchief suddenly flew out from behind it, then turned into smoke, obscuring the wolf's vision. At the same time, the wolf suddenly sensed danger and quickly jumped back, but he still couldn't completely dodge the attack that followed—his clothes were torn.

When the smoke cleared, a gentlemanly-looking man holding a rapier stood in the shadows. His beard was quite distinctive.

"I went to the shop at the agreed time and found you weren't there. I thought you'd forgotten our drinking date," the man said, holding up his rapier and pointing it at the golden ball.

"Are you... the A-class hero Springbeard?" Garou asked, looking at the man in front of him.

“That’s me.” Springbeard casually brandished his rapier twice, adjusting his posture. “I’m afraid you’re the legendary human monster.”

"Ding-dong. As a reward for answering correctly, I'm going to crush you," the hungry wolf said excitedly.

"That guy's right foot is injured, so he probably can't use his footwork." Golden Ball then told Springbeard about Hungry Wolf's situation.

"I see, thank you for your guidance."

After listening to their conversation, Garou wasn't particularly nervous.

"But you, isn't it a disadvantage to carry a long weapon in such a confined space?"

"So what?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tan Huzi charged toward the hungry wolf. Contrary to the hungry wolf's expectations, in this narrow space, Spring Beard's attacks were still extremely fierce.

Springbeard charged toward the hungry wolf with a series of slashes. His attacks covered the entire alley, leaving sword marks on the walls around it. He even cut through some protrusions in the alley, such as pipes and air conditioners.

Seeing this attack, Garou didn't hesitate and jumped up, knowing that the only way to dodge it was by moving upwards.

However, the wolf's escape was part of Springbeard's plan.

"They've fallen into a trap." Suddenly, the thin sword in Springbeard's hand coiled like a snake, transforming into a spring shape. Then, it pierced towards the wolf with incredible speed.

However, what happened next caught Springbeard completely off guard.

Hungry Wolf let the rapier pierce through his left palm, then seized the opportunity to grab Springbeard's sword hilt, moved closer to Springbeard, and punched him in the face.

"Did you know your trump card is already registered in the hero encyclopedia? They say your sword has a long reach and good penetrating power, but it's limited in street fighting, which is somewhat predictable." Landing on the ground, Garou looked at Springbeard, whom he had knocked away and who had crashed into a trash can in an alley, and said, "If you weren't a hero in human society, perhaps there would be more serious ones, and the outcome would be more predictable."

After saying that, the hungry wolf pulled out the rapier that had pierced his palm and threw it on the ground.

"The opponents who use weapons are used to it. It's no problem at all."

"Don't get too cocky. This can't go on forever. Someone stronger will come to take care of you. You can't be arrogant for long." Standing behind the Hungry Wolf, Golden Ball said nervously.

"Hehe, I'll get even stronger. If you can, just destroy me. Otherwise, let me be smug for as long as I want!" After saying that, the wolf turned around and arrogantly gave the golden ball the middle finger.

The rest is history; after Golden Ball was beaten up by Garou, Garou left.

Walking down the streets at night, the hungry wolf was preparing to head to the House of Evolution.

Suddenly a voice caught the hungry wolf's attention.

"Hey, the Hero Association must make a lot of money."

"Don't talk nonsense. Maintaining peace requires a lot of money; you can't earn much." At this moment, between two rather pretty young girls, a short, ugly, and old man said righteously.

"Then why did you buy this for me?" a girl next to me asked, holding up the bag in her hand.

“They come to the store often,” another girl added.

"Of course, it's also for the sake of peace. As an executive of the Hero Association, playing with you guys is a necessary expense. Someone like me who fights against evil forces on the front lines definitely needs to conserve my energy."

"Relax, relax? You must be relaxing every day," the girl said, clearly with a hint of sarcasm.

"By the way, how about I let you meet Sweet Mask sometime?" Seeing that the girl didn't seem to be attracted to him, this guy immediately offered such a temptation.

"Really?" The two girls were very excited. "I love him so much!"

"Just give me a kiss on the cheek." That's what this guy asked for.

However, when asked about this request, one of the girls gave a standard welcoming smile, while the other simply showed an expression of disgust and distrust.

"What should we do?"

Will we really be able to see it?

"Let me see him too." Just then, the hungry wolf appeared behind the guy and spoke: "Want to kiss you on the cheek?"

The hungry wolf then kissed his fist before punching the guy in the face, knocking him unconscious.

"Tch, I was in a good mood after taking down a few A-ranks, but now I feel like I've stepped in shit. Fighting evil forces on the front lines makes me want to throw up." After dealing with that disgusting guy, Garou walked down the street with a disgruntled look on his face.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Finally found it."

Chapter 103 Overwhelmed

Have they found me? Are they pursuers?

The hungry wolf turned his head and saw a bald guy on top of him who looked like a hard-boiled egg.

This guy's a hero? You don't even know any nobody here, do you? Trying to become famous by arresting me? Goodbye!

Immediately afterward, the wolf struck first, attacking Saitama. His attack landed directly on Saitama's shoulder, and the force of the impact shattered the brick beneath Saitama's feet.

However, to the wolf's shock, the person in front of him was completely unharmed.

"What are you doing? Who are you? Are you trying to rob me? I'm buying something, don't bother me." Saitama said, raising his hand and casually slapping it down on Garou's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, the hungry wolf collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

On the second day, when the hungry wolf woke up again, it was already daytime. Lying on the garbage heap, the hungry wolf felt somewhat delirious.

"Let me think about what happened yesterday. I remember after hunting down a few A-rank heroes, I took down a disgusting guy, and then I got knocked out by a bald guy."

The hungry wolf stood up from the garbage heap: "Looks like I need to get stronger. Let's go check out the House of Evolution first."

At this moment, at the headquarters of the Hero Association.

"Regarding the attack on the important official Mr. Jamid last night, judging from the appearance of the perpetrator, it was probably the work of the 'Hungry Wolf' who hunts heroes."

"Could it be... that guy's target isn't just heroes... but rather he harbors hatred towards the Hero Association?"

"If someone attacks me, someone even Tanktop Master could defeat with his bare hands, I wouldn't feel safe even with guards."

"In that case, let's issue a warning. Until we take care of Garou, the officers should stay home as much as possible, and when they do go out, they must be accompanied by an S-class hero."

"Lately, even the S-class spies seem to be incredibly busy dealing with all sorts of weirdos..."

"Let's prioritize ensuring the safety of the key officials who sponsor us."

"In that case, let's contact the S-class heroes who are temporarily free. Then, let's move on to the next topic."

"Recently, some citizens reported finding a strange corpse that had been half-eaten in the market. What do you think is going on?"

"The monster's corpse? What does that have to do with us? The city has been quite safe lately, with virtually no hero reports of monsters appearing. Besides, there's Tatsumaki, the second-ranked S-class hero, over there. And that's the headquarters of the House of Evolution, so it should be fine."

"That makes a lot of sense. So, taking care of Garou first is definitely the most important thing, isn't it?"

King is leisurely playing games at home all the time.

"You want me to be a bodyguard for the Hero Association's executives and staff? I refuse!"

"You ask me why... because I have something to do."

"Yeah, right, it's right, it's the most intense part of the fight. I just defeated him, but I'm planning to head to the big boss's base next," King said, looking at the game screen.

"So can you find someone else?"

Meanwhile, Tornado received the same call.

However, unlike King, who at least tried to find a slightly more tactful reason, Tornado refused outright without any hesitation.
