Chapter 217 Glamorous Woman

"But what about the ordinary residents?"

At that moment, a soft voice came from behind. Several high-ranking members of the association looked down and saw a little girl with blue hair.

“Little friend, I shouldn’t be telling you this, but the fact that you’re here in this manor proves that we’re friends at the same level.”

"So this is to tell me~" The blue-haired girl, Esdeath, smiled in a way that was hard to decipher.

"Little girl, you're really smart. Well then, I'll tell you what to do with those people you're talking about. Just let them die. They're just a bunch of insignificant trash. If they die, they die. Someone will always survive. As long as we ensure they have a certain survival rate, they'll be able to reproduce again soon."

After saying this, the association's senior members suddenly burst out laughing, as if saying something ridiculous was funny.

"So to put it simply, it's a law of the jungle, right? Only the strong can decide everything, and the weak can only survive under the rule of the strong, right?"

Hearing Esdeath's answer, the association's high-ranking members were taken aback, not expecting the young girl to see things so clearly. They couldn't help but say:

“You’re such a smart girl. Listen to me, in this line of work, you can’t block the way too much. Sometimes you have to leave a little opening, paint a picture of the future, so that people have something to strive for.”

"Oh~"

Esdeath drew out her words, making a look of utter astonishment.

Hearing Esdeath's confident tone, the high-ranking member of the association who spoke also wore a satisfied expression.

Lin Yu, standing by the window, listened silently to their conversation, his mind buzzing with notifications.

[Host Lin Yu's strength is higher than that of multiple targets. Proceed with the death operation?] x21

"Not for now, but we might need it soon." Lin Yu's tone was cold, as if he had made up his mind. Even though the world is different, the ugliness of human nature seems to be the same. The strong prey on the weak. The first thing the strong do is block the path for others to become strong. Even if they become rich by relying on those residents, they will not choose to let those residents become rich. They will invest in mechs, cyborgs and other cutting-edge combat equipment to gradually change the social structure. These people are indeed stronger, but those who provide resources are still the same people, without any change. They are still at the bottom of society.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard below the room, Saitama's conflict with the glamorous woman continues.

“I’m telling you two, I know Agni and Zenil. We’re practically distant relatives.”

The glamorous woman became increasingly excited as she spoke, revealing her identity and then looking at everyone with a smug expression.

"Agni? And Zenil? Who are they? I've never heard of them."

Saitama casually uttered words that shocked the glamorous woman, prompting Genos, who was standing beside him, to offer an explanation:

"Agni? He is the founder of the Hero Association. After the Hero Association was founded, many people invested in it and became staff members and executives."

"As for Zenil? He is the richest man living in Z City."

After saying that, Genos continued to raise his mechanical hand, aiming it at the gorgeous woman. As long as his teacher gave the order, the laser cannon would take her away from this world.

"So this woman is that powerful?" Saitama looked bewildered, scratching his head as if he didn't care about the woman's identity.

"boom!"

Genos's gauntlet suddenly spewed out high-temperature steam, and data streams flashed in his eyes: "Hatefulness increase detected by 300%, deterrent strike recommended."

His mechanical fingers parted slightly, orange-red energy patterns lighting up between them. The glamorous woman took a half step back, her ten-centimeter stiletto heels sinking into the ground.

She ripped off the diamond necklace from her neck and threw it to the ground. The sapphire pendant shattered, releasing a visible electromagnetic pulse.

"Activate combat mode and kill them both."

Her shrill voice pierced the sky.

The men in black behind her slowly revealed their true forms, their temples gleaming with a metallic sheen—a sign that they had undergone at least 20% mechanical modification.

The cyborg in the front row tore open his suit, revealing a mechanical arm covered with hydraulic pipes; the clicking sound of gears turning was particularly clear in the quiet street.

Saitama scratched the back of his head: "Are bodyguards all this high-tech now? They're almost as advanced as Genos's."

Before he could finish speaking, three dark figures had already surrounded him. The cyborg's mechanical arm on the left suddenly launched a chainsaw. When the rapidly spinning saw teeth were only three centimeters away from Genos's nose, Genos's pupils suddenly contracted into a crosshair.

"Burn!"

The blazing white flames exploded in a fan shape, and the chainsaw instantly melted into molten iron. Genos controlled the flame temperature with astonishing precision. The red-hot mechanical arm dripped like melted chocolate, and the cyborg screamed and fell to his knees.

The enemy attacking from the right had just raised his mechanical leg equipped with an electromagnetic cannon when Genos chopped the main control chip at the joint with his hand.

"The joint drive shaft is offset by 0.3 mm."

Even during the battle, Genos maintained precise tactical analysis, suggesting, "Cut off the energy supply lines."

A laser beam as thin as a hair shot from his fingertip, accurately piercing the cervical spine of a cyborg five meters away. This was the purpose of Dr. Kusno's prosthetic eye, which allowed him to think quickly and use it in combat.

Saitama, who was watching the fight, suddenly had a bright idea: "Oh! This move looks a bit like poking konjac noodles in oden with a toothpick!"

As the last cyborg's mechanical eye emitted blue smoke, the air was filled with the smell of burnt circuit boards.

Genos turned to his teacher, steam still rising from the ventilation holes in his gauntlets: "All enemy combat units are disabled. Should we...?"

"That's it!"

The childish voice startled everyone. Rem, with her short blue twin ponytails, appeared in the center of the battlefield at some point. The cuffs of her blue princess dress were embroidered with silver thread patterns that shimmered with an eerie luster under the moonlight. Lin Yu, meanwhile, was leaning against the second-floor railing, munching on an apple, as if he had expected this situation.

Upon seeing that it was Rem, Genos silently put away his gauntlets and retreated to Saitama's side.

The glamorous woman then let out a hysterical laugh. She pulled a syringe from her purse and plunged it into her neck, her pupils instantly transforming into serpentine vertical slits: "Little girl, do you know how much this vial of freak gene serum is worth on the black market?" Her fingernails swelled into sharp claws, sparks flying from the ground. "Enough to buy ten people like you..."

"call--!"

With a whooshing sound, Rem's toes touched the ground, and she turned around lightly like a cherry blossom petal blown by the wind. As the hem of her princess dress billowed, her hand, seemingly sliding like water, gently pressed against the woman's chest.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and the air behind the glamorous woman suddenly rippled like water.

"Liu Shui Rock Shattering Fist!"

Without a sound, the woman was thrown backward like a paper boat hit by an invisible giant wave, crashing into three lampposts in the manor before finally coming to a stop. Her carefully styled curly hair was covered in mud, and her expensive fur coat was tattered.
