Tanktop Master walked forward, clutching his chest. Although he was afraid of being affected, he still steeled himself to investigate the truth about the mysterious Monster. He said, 'Mr. Allen's analysis makes a lot of sense, Ms. Tornado. How about we follow his advice first?'
"Shut up!" Tornado's emerald green curly hair moved without wind. She glared at Tanktop Master, then turned to stare at Allen: "Since you're so confident, then prove it to me."
Allen shrugged indifferently: "I'm just offering a suggestion; whether you adopt it or not is your business."
"Hmph! I'd like to see what you can find out." Tornado snorted coldly, then turned and floated into the night sky.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to add: "If I find out you're wasting time, you can wait for me to come to Z-City to teach you a lesson!"
Watching Tornado's departing figure, Tanktop Master wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Allen, you're really bold, daring to speak to Tornado like that."
Allen smiled: "She actually agrees with my point of view in her heart, she just can't bring herself to admit it."
Tanktop Master nodded thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, that Monster was indeed very strange. He could have easily defeated me, but he stopped short."
"That's precisely the most suspicious part. He could have directly inflicted severe injuries on you, yet he still chose to stop short." Allen squatted down, pretending to meticulously examine the traces on the ground.
"Even if it was to test the weaknesses of an S-Class Hero, he wouldn't have stopped short. This indicates that the Monster Association must have a deeper plan at play."
The staff members all nodded, diligently recording every word of Allen, while Tanktop Master stood by, occasionally adding some combat details.
"Oh, right." Allen suddenly asked as if remembering something.
"Did that Monster have any distinct features?"
Tanktop Master recalled: "He was covered in black and red armor, his eyes were blood red, and his voice was very deep."
Allen pretended to diligently jot down this information, then stood up: "I will report this intelligence to the Association, Master. You'd best rest for a few days; I'm worried that Monster might come looking for you again."
Tanktop Master clenched his fists: "Don't worry, if he dares to come again, I will do everything I can to defeat him!"
Allen nodded, smiling as he patted his shoulder: "I believe in you. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
After saying that, he gave a few instructions to the staff and then left the scene.
Walking home, Allen was in a rather good mood.
The plan was proceeding very smoothly; not only had he successfully tested his own strength, but he had also convinced the Hero Association of the existence of the mysterious Monster and the evil conspiracy of the Monster Association.
The communicator suddenly rang; it was a call from the Hero Association.
"Mr. Allen, according to the information you provided, the Association has decided to strengthen communication among the S-Class Heroes." The operator's voice came from the other end.
"Additionally, Ms. Tornado has agreed to temporarily leave Z-City and head to A-City to stand by."
Allen's lips curved slightly upward: "Good, I will continue to investigate and will surely nip the Monster Association's evil plan in the bud!"
After hanging up the call, he checked the time; it was already around midnight. Tonight's actions had increased the Asura Mode progress bar by eleven percent. It was time to go back and rest.
Meanwhile, 1500 meters underground, Psykos was controlling Gyoro Gyoro, hiding in the shadows outside the gym, waiting for the on-duty staff to change shifts. The six tentacles on the surface of the pink fleshy ball wriggled restlessly.
During the shift change, Gyoro Gyoro seized the opportunity to sneak into the gym and head to the monitoring room, preparing to view the combat footage of the mysterious Monster and Tanktop Master.
Looking at the staff member sleeping on the table, Psykos felt much more relieved.
Excellent, the Hero Association is still so corrupt. (PS: Some high-ranking members of the Hero Association keep Monster; this is not random writing.)
Psykos meticulously watched the combat footage of the black and red Armored Monster and Tanktop Master through Gyoro Gyoro. Her lips unconsciously curved upward, and her heart was filled with excitement.
Although she didn't know why this Monster hadn't used the corrosive substance from the pit, the sheer physical strength was enough to crush Tanktop Master, who was known for his physical prowess. This was the perfect warrior she had always dreamed of!
"This Monster is simply perfect!" She couldn't help but murmur softly, her slender, fair fingers gently caressing the desktop.
If Psykos could obtain him, she would surely be able to cultivate him to be even more powerful than the Monster King Orochi!
Psykos pushed up her glasses, looking at Allen and Tornado who arrived late in the video, and let out a disdainful chuckle.
"It seems the Hero Association is even more foolish than I imagined, actually overlooking such obvious clues."
Just from this operation, Psykos could be certain that the opponent was definitely not a newborn Monster ignorant of the outside world, but rather someone very familiar with the Hero Association, very likely a Monster transformed from a certain Hero.
In this way, his hidden strength and the fact that he only stopped short with Tanktop Master made sense.
After watching the video, Psykos controlled Gyoro Gyoro to quietly leave the gym's monitoring room. The pink fleshy ball flapped its wings, quickly flying back to the Monster Association's headquarters.
She stood up, pacing back and forth in the dimly lit underground space, incredibly excited by the appearance of the Armored Monster.
Psykos quickly walked to the control panel and pulled up the Hero Association's database. To be familiar with the Hero Association's operational mode and possess powerful strength, the Hero could only be S-Class.
If an S-Class Hero could be turned to join the Monster Association, then her chances of defeating the Hero Association would greatly increase. This thought made Psykos tremble with excitement.
"From the fighting style, the opponent clearly retained human grappling techniques." Psykos's fingers flew across the keyboard, and the screen displayed the information of all S-Class Heroes.
Her gaze lingered on Allen and King for a moment.
"No... it shouldn't be them." Psykos shook her head.
One was a Psychokinesis user like Psykos, and the other was a Hero who dealt with Monster using the King Engine, neither of whom fit the characteristics of the Armored Monster.
Her gaze continued to slide down, finally stopping on the information of Silver Fang Bang.
"Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, a martial art that uses softness to overcome hardness." Psykos murmured, recalling that the Armored Monster had indeed used techniques similar to deflecting force during the battle with Tanktop Master.
She pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflecting a faint blue light, as she thoughtfully gazed at Bang's information on the screen.
He knows martial arts, has a slender build, stops short in sparring with Heroes, lives in Z-City, and didn't show up at the scene after Tanktop Master was attacked. All the conditions fit, so isn't that the Armored Monster!
A glint flashed in Psykos's eyes. There was only one truth: Silver Fang Bang was the Armored Monster!
