“Jiah!!!”
"Boom!"
Deep Sea King punched Lightning Max into the building, and without giving him a chance to breathe, he jumped into the building and kicked him out of the building without any chance to fight back.
"Humans...are so weak."
It let out a disdainful sigh and continued to head towards the building where a large number of humans gathered.

Chapter 76 I’m here to quit the Hero Association.
On his way to J City in the pouring rain, Mu Huai met Saitama who was lost for some reason and the first C-class hero, the "Unlicensed Knight".
To be honest, he personally didn't like this unlicensed knight who was too sanctimonious. Even if the opponent was an enemy, the unlicensed knight would let him go on the grounds that he had lost his combat effectiveness.
This is completely in conflict with Mu Huai's philosophy of eradicating the roots of the problem. If it weren't for the fact that this guy actually paid the corresponding price for his saintly heart with his own actions instead of just standing aside and talking nonsense.
He would not allow an unlicensed knight to follow him. A teammate who could hold you back at any time is more terrifying than an invincible enemy.
As the three rushed towards the building where the loudest fighting noises were heard, they saw the S-class hero "Sexy Prisoner" lying in the ruins, half-breathing. His originally strong muscles were dented by the blows, and if it weren't for his faint breathing, no one would have thought he was alive with such a fatal injury.
The unlicensed knight hesitated for a moment and decided to let Mu Huai, who was stronger than himself, take Saitama to the battlefield. He wanted to provide emergency treatment to the sexy prisoner first.
He only had the special skill of being able to withstand beatings, and he understood that even if he went over there, he would not be able to help much. If he could help the S-class heroes temporarily recover their combat effectiveness, it would be far more useful than him participating in the battle.
Mu Huai carried Saitama to the outside of a circular shelter. He noticed that a huge hole had been smashed in the shelter, and chaotic screams and wails could be heard from inside.
"Where's the hero? Why hasn't the hero come to protect us yet?"
"It's useless. The S-class devil cyborgs have all been defeated. Only a top-ranked S-class hero can defeat this weirdo."
“I don’t want to die!!!”
"Saitama, Genos looks pretty badly injured. Go check on him while I go meet this Deep Sea King."
Mu Huai pointed at Genos outside the shelter, who was corroded to the point that only his skeleton and half a head remained, and then jumped into the shelter.
As soon as he landed on the ground, a swift fist shadow wrapped in a strong wind hit him on the head, blowing his hair up.
“START UP!”
In an instant, a fist almost half the size of a person hovered in front of him.
Mu Huai glanced at the Deep Sea King, who was several times larger than the one in the news broadcast. The sword-shaped pattern on the back of his hand was shining, and gorgeous phantom swords surrounded his body.
He pulled out the ebony and ivory from the void, crossed his hands and aimed the muzzle at the clownfish face of the Deep Sea King. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he shouted: "JACKPOT!"
Bullets of two completely different colors, one black and one white, poured out from the flaming muzzle. The dense bullets formed two thick dotted lines in the almost still world.
When the front bullet came into contact with the Deep Sea King's dark green fish skin, it was not deflected by this elastic and tough skin. Instead, it melted like the first snow encountering the sun. The passive effect of the dual guns against alien special attacks took effect at this time.
Even though he was sure that he could blow up the Deep Sea King's head by just this method, Mu Huai did not let his guard down. He tried to stop and throw his iron spear, but Father Pucci dodged it by tilting his head.
He didn't want his attack to fail after the acceleration was released. Now that Faiz's transformation was restricted, the best way was to try his best to completely destroy Deep Sea King in the accelerated form.
After firing a large number of bullets, Mu Huai switched the double guns in his hands into red-blade swords.
"Exceed Charge!"
The translucent sword shadows, accompanied by the sword light of the red-blade sword, tore from all directions and penetrated the sturdy body of the Deep Sea King. The tough fish skin that it was proud of was as fragile as a piece of thin paper under the violently charged photon blood and sword shadows.
“TIME OUT!”
"Bang bang bang-"
The terrified survivors in the shelter only saw dazzling flames accompanied by deafening gunshots in the venue, the Deep Sea King's hideous head was shot into a honeycomb, and then the bright sword light suddenly lit up.
The Deep Sea King, who had been so arrogant before and treated S-class and many A-class heroes like dogs, suddenly turned into pieces and died at the hands of Mu Huai, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
"Isn't this the B-class hero Scarlet Knight? How did he kill the Deep Sea King in an instant?"
"Isn't this acting?"
"Are you crazy? You let a weirdo play along with the hero, and it cost so many lives? Why didn't the Deep Sea King eat you then?"
Just as people were talking, Saitama jumped into the shelter carrying Genos, who only had a head left.
"Hey, where's that Deep Sea King?"
Mu Huai pointed at the body fragments at his feet: "Dead."
"I heard from Genos that he was very strong, but I didn't expect you to defeat him first."
"You can finish it with one punch anyway, so why not let me have my way?"
Saitama's face was full of black lines: "What you said is really hurtful."
The two did not lower their voices during their discussion. A B-class hero and a C-class hero belittled the monster who defeated the S-class hero, which instantly made some people who supported those heroes feel that they were too proud and shouted at them.
"If the S-class hero hadn't helped you drain that weirdo's energy, you wouldn't have won so easily!"
"That's right, aren't you ashamed?"
Mu Huai originally didn't intend to pay attention to this group of people. After all, they didn't know the strength of himself and Saitama, so it was normal to have misunderstandings, until a sarcastic voice came from the crowd.
"Two S-class and four or five A-class heroes fought tooth and nail to weaken the Deep Sea King, only to be plundered by an ungrateful B-class hero. If you ask me, the Deep Sea King at that time was just a weakling, and anyone could easily kill him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the public opinion, which was not friendly to Mu Huai to begin with, completely turned one-sided.
"That's right! We were just intimidated by the Deep Sea King's appearance. If someone had mustered up the courage to go over and punch him, they could have defeated him!"
"I can do it too. It's just a matter of pointing a pistol at the Deep Sea King and pulling the trigger!"
"The Devil Cyborg's fire couldn't burn the fish skin, but he was able to pierce it with his gun and sword. This means the Deep Sea King must have been extremely exhausted!"
"Why does the Scarlet Knight steal the fruits of victory from the heroes?"
"He doesn't deserve to be a hero!"
"That's right, get out!"
"Yes! Get out!"
"Get out! Get out!"
The survivors were very excited, and boos and insults came towards Mu Huai like a tidal wave. Genos, whose vocal organs were corroded, was completely unable to understand the train of thought of this group of people.
He was beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back. Why did these people think that Mu Huai was lucky to get away with killing the Deep Sea King?
Mu Huai turned around impatiently and faced the group of red-faced idiots with a cold look: "Since you think I am not worthy of being a hero, why didn't you stand up when the Deep Sea King ate people?
When I was fighting monsters, I was shivering in the corner. After the fight, you came out and complained. I really don't want to be a hero. Saving people like you will only make me feel sick.
From today on, I withdraw from the Hero Association and cease all heroic activities."
His not-so-loud voice reached everyone's ears clearly, and the noisy shelter suddenly became quiet.

Chapter 77 Tornado: He is my man!
After leaving the shelter, Genos was picked up by a mechanical drone. Just as Mu Huai was about to leave on his motorcycle, Saitama immediately called out to him: "Mu Huai, what you just said... was it just a rant?"
He rolled his eyes. "Of course I wasn't saying that out of anger. You know I was planning to quit the Hero Association anyway. These people just brought my departure forward."
"They...ah...it's nothing. Remember to come to my house often when you have time."
Saitama wanted to say something but stopped himself in the end, and said goodbye with a gentle smile as usual.
He knew that Mu Huai did not become a hero out of interest. If he put himself in his shoes, he would also feel angry if he was misunderstood like this, but he would not give up his interest in becoming a hero.
Mu Huai is different. He has his own family, is very strong and has no shortage of money. Instead of continuing to be a hero and feeling depressed after being abused like this, he might as well just quit and live his own free and easy life.
To put it bluntly, he could have not come to J City to participate in the emergency event of defeating Deep Sea King. No one would blame him for not coming as a B-class hero to the monster attack that even S-class heroes were defeated.
But he still came, and ended up being misunderstood and abused.
Saitama sighed solemnly: "Fortunately, Mu Huai is a good man. Being a hero... is really hard sometimes..."
……
After the Deep Sea King attack in J City, the hottest news topic was not the defeat of the S-class heroes, but Mu Huai's statement of quitting the Hero Association and the doubts and speculations about his behavior of taking advantage of the situation.
The news media used this hot topic to vigorously promote the current mainstream statement: "After being ridiculed for taking advantage of the opportunity, the Scarlet Knight felt embarrassed and voluntarily withdrew from the Hero Association." The Internet was almost entirely filled with ridicule and sarcasm towards him.
The few who spoke up for him were almost all met with abuse from the rest of the people, who labeled them as "fans of the Peach Picking Immortal."
The top management of the Hero Association is also discussing this matter. Regardless of how Mu Huai defeated the Deep Sea King alone, who even S-class heroes could not defeat, his remarks about not being a hero alone have caused a lot of trouble for the association.
You have to know that part of the funds to support the heroes originally came from the spontaneous donations of the people. After the Mu Huai incident became a big deal, many people who originally supported the Hero Association began to hesitate whether to continue donating money to support the heroes.
They don't want their money to go to waste.
In the solemn black conference room, a senior executive, after reviewing the documents at hand, slammed them on the table with a cold snort. "Given the adverse impact caused by the Scarlet Knight, I believe that in addition to expelling him from the list, we must also hold him accountable for his legal actions and imprison him."
"Isn't this a bit too radical a response?"
"Ha! He caused such serious losses to the association, are we going to pretend that we didn't see it? What if another hero imitates him later? We are the Hero Association, not playing house!"
"I have no objection. The impact of this incident is too severe. Both the heroes and the Hero Association have suffered great losses."
"That's it..."
Just when the top management was about to make a decision, the door of the conference room was roughly pushed open and Tornado floated in with a bad look on his face.
"Master Tornado, what can I do for you?"
The top brass stood up in awe.
"Nothing, just to inform you that I'm also quitting the Hero Association."
The senior executives were terrified and at a loss. "Don't make such jokes! Although we are currently facing some problems with our support funds, the subsidies for S-class heroes will not be affected in any way!"
Tornado sneered coldly, "Who told you I quit because of money? You want to put my man in jail without saying a word. Did you agree with me, huh?"
"Your...husband?"
The top brass were a little confused. Even if they were given a hundred times the courage, no one would dare to do such a thing.
"Mu Huai, the Scarlet Knight, he is my man."
"what???"
"The message has been delivered. Goodbye."
After saying this, Tornado left the Hero Association headquarters without looking back, leaving the association's top executives looking at each other in bewilderment.
That afternoon, Tornado, who never liked to show up in the public eye, held a press conference for the first time and emphasized that her withdrawal from the Hero Association and Mu Huai was her man's business.
In an instant, all major news media were in an uproar. Both the Internet and newspapers began to vindicate Mu Huai and tried to use all kinds of praise to redeem Tornado, the second-ranked S-class hero.
But no matter how the media promoted it, Tornado completely disappeared from people's sight, and the emergency incidents that she was originally required to handle were assigned to other S-class heroes, and the pressure on the entire Hero Association suddenly increased.
……
"Teacher! That Miss Tornado is actually Mr. Mu Huai's wife. No wonder he said they were rarely together before."
Genos trotted to Saitama's house holding the newspaper, handed him the latest newspaper, his tone full of excitement.
He saw all the injustices that Mu Huai suffered, but as a newly promoted S-class hero, he was not enough to prove his innocence in the midst of so much malice. Now that he saw the news, many people were speaking up for Mu Huai, and he was naturally very happy.
"Strange, why do I remember Mu Huai saying his wife's last name was Nan?"
After muttering for a while, Saitama got up and changed his clothes.
"Teacher, where are you going?"
He shook the newspaper in his hand: "Of course I'm going to see Mu Huai. How can I not have a hot pot with him after the misunderstanding is resolved?"
"That's right, please let me go and congratulate Mr. Mu Huai!"
"Well, let's go together."
"By the way...Teacher, do you know where Mr. Mu Huai lives?"
"Q City, he told me before that if the subsidy from the Hero Association is not enough, I can go to him for free meals."
Saitama showed the address to Genos and asked him to fly him to Muhuai's house, which would save a lot of travel expenses.
When they were almost there, the two men landed from the air. As soon as they landed, they saw an elderly man in his seventies with white hair and a mustache.
He smiled and greeted them: "It's the Devil Cyborg and the Bald Cape Man. I thought it was the Drive Knight."
