Makoy was originally a shareholder of the New Hero Association in the One-Punch Man world.
He was a foreigner.
Now, in this world mixed with many anime, he somehow teamed up with Dr. Genus.
Oh, good, good!
It would be best if someone died today, then I could promote the Soldier Pills on the spot.
First, I'll reap a harvest among the wealthy.
But unfortunately—
the money spent in the store could only come from legitimate sources.
Otherwise, he really would have liked to carry out this plan.
That way, he could directly buy many capture balls and capture all valuable characters.
But why is this Mosquito Girl also in the system's compendium?
Although she can grow stronger by sucking blood, and her legs are beyond human scope,
she is Mosquito Girl—her appearance is a female mosquito based on a human body, the kind that buzzes.
I am not a human anthropologist. I don't like humanities.
However—
let's leave it at that for now.
Let's see how things develop.
If they don't cause any commotion,
Akira intends to take action himself.
Crack! Crack!
With the last two mosquitoes landing,
Akira ended this farce.
Aside from the initial ending, Akira did not display any outrageous behavior afterward.
And Mrs. Yukinoshita and her daughter genuinely saw the mosquitoes.
"Sister Haruno, your blood must be the type that attracts mosquitoes. Next time you come to such a gathering, you should dress more conservatively."
Yukinoshita Haruno had neat short hair and fair, rosy skin, which made the white cocktail dress with a hint of blue she wore look even tidier.
And amidst this expanse of white, her lustrous red lips and delicate features became the focal point.
Coupled with Yukinoshita Haruno's mature and universally pleasant demeanor, she was as delightful as a sunflower.
"Thank you, Little brother Akira. I will be more careful next time."
Yukinoshita Haruno's smile was very sincere, and she expressed envy for Akira's ability to act so uninhibitedly.
As the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita Family and the future heir of the Yukinoshita Family,
she had to disguise herself at all times and present her meticulously refined side.
So, as expected, Yukinoshita Haruno's favorability toward Akira increased by two points.
And Mrs. Yukinoshita, seeing this scene, also felt her favorability toward Akira rising.
Although the previous action was somewhat inconsistent with the upbringing of the Suou Family, since the two had interacted, the process could be overlooked.
If her daughter could get closer to this Young Master Akira,
or have a more intimate relationship, the Yukinoshita Family could go further and advance in this world.
However, Haruno was a few years older than Akira.
She was currently in college.
But then there's Yukino.
But thinking of Yukino's expression, as if everyone owed her money, Mrs. Yukinoshita dismissed the idea.
A few years older is a few years older.
For the future of the Yukinoshita Family, such a meaningful sacrifice is well worth it.
"Alright, we should go now and greet the other families."
"Those old geezers are always bragging about how amazing their sons and grandsons are."
"Today, they'll get a good look too."
"Mrs. Yukinoshita, I apologize."
Gensei Suou looked down on the Yukinoshita Family.
They weren't in the same circle and couldn't socialize together.
But outwardly, he still considered the Suou Family's image and behaved courteously and amiably.
Mrs. Yukinoshita saw this and knew that Old Master Gensei Suou was giving them the boot.
"Then we won't disturb the two of you."
After a humble bow, Mrs. Yukinoshita left with Yukinoshita Haruno.
They tried their best to make their presence known at the gathering.
At this moment, Mosquito Girl in the secret room struck again, easily obtaining the blood of two people.
"Old man, something might happen later—be careful."
Gensei Suou's whiskers twitched. "The security for this gathering has hired many A-class heroes from the Hero Association, and the police have also been notified."
"There are also several checkpoints outside—what could possibly happen?"
"Hmm… a big deal. The Yukinoshita Family coming here indicates that other local families and wealthy merchants of similar scale to the Yukinoshita Family have also received invitations."
"If it's not a major project that concerns everyone, then there's an ulterior motive."
Akira walked beside the old man, talking eloquently.
His Telepathy's maximum range was 8 kilometers.
Within the entire 16-kilometer circle, he indeed could not fully ascertain all personnel information through a spiritual state.
But Akira, who had already shared the vision of many crows and small mice, recognized all the personnel he had an impression of.
The people from the House of Evolution had all arrived.
But they were in the basement.
And in an even deeper basement, in a fully enclosed cell made of the strongest alloy, Asura Kabuto was imprisoned.
As it currently stood, the entire manor's security was quite guaranteed.
However, with Telepathy,
even if the manor wanted to remain calm later, Akira would have to create some commotion.
Gensei Suou did not answer, but only took Akira to socialize one after another.
Compared to Akira's lively interactions, the Yukinoshita Family's experience was much colder.
People in the upper-class circles were not as easy to talk to as the Suou Family, making Mrs. Yukinoshita's nerves tense and making her choose her words carefully.
At this moment, the curtains on the stage suddenly opened, and Makoy slowly walked from under the spotlight to the microphone.
"Distinguished guests, thank you for traveling so far to attend this banquet. I am not a man of culture and don't know how to speak in formalities."
"So, let's get straight to the point."
"This is Dr. Genus, a genetic scientist from the research institute I'm collaborating with."
"He has already mastered the technology of human genetic immortality."
"This technology can now be realized."
"Every fortunate guest here can acquire the ability to reverse aging and achieve immortality for a price of 10 billion per person."
Makoy's words were like a bombshell, instantly silencing the audience below.
Rejuvenation?
Immortality?
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
Only Akira stroked his chin, knowing that such a good thing wouldn't proceed so smoothly.
Rejuvenation, physical immortality—
with such technology, who would easily reveal it?
Moreover, the Dr. Genus in front of him wasn't the original.
He was just one of his many clones.
The real Dr. Genus was underground.
He was currently observing the data of his creation, Asura Kabuto.
However, this shocking news completely explained why Makoy had called everyone here.
10 billion yen per person.
This was not something ordinary people could afford.
Only these wealthy magnates had the means.
"Then how do you prove that this technology can truly exist?"
"We also can't know if this technology will have any side effects."
…The questions from the audience came one after another.
But Akira heard Gensei Suou whisper, "What he said might be true."
"I knew that Dr. Genus eighteen years ago."
Eighteen years ago, he paid Dr. Genus to clone his daughter and make some genetic adjustments.
That's how Yuki came to be.
But after Yuki was born, the Suou Family withdrew its investment from the laboratory.
They no longer funded the House of Evolution to continue its research.
Because at that time, Dr. Genus's research direction was the limits of human evolution.
He was adding genes from other organisms into human genes.
He created various Monsters.
He originally thought that the House of Evolution would have been purged by the Hero Association and the Public Safety Commission long ago due to these experiments and the uncontrollable Monsters.
He didn't expect him to connect with Makoy.
Although Makoy appeared to be a businessman on the surface,
Gensei Suou knew that he had foreign armed forces backing him.
He had a large amount of foreign exchange, and most of his domestic industries were shady.
Even most of the firearms currently circulating in the country were related to him.
If he was supporting Dr. Genus's research, then with Makoy's illicit resources,
that Dr. Genus might really concoct some unbelievable things.
However, Gensei Suou was not optimistic.
Everything comes at a price.
So, what was the true price of rejuvenation and immortality?
He remained vigilant.
"Old man, what do you know?"
Compared to Gensei Suou, Akira had more comprehensive information about Dr. Genus.
But he didn't expect the Suou Family to have any dealings with Dr. Genus.
Dr. Genus was an extreme scientist, brilliant but very dangerous.
And the Suou Family's industries didn't seem to have a large proportion in technology and biology.
If there was an intersection, it should be more focused on these two aspects.
"I only know that we need to remain vigilant."
An old fox is an old fox.
He wasn't willing to say much.
But speaking of rejuvenation and immortality,
Akira thought of Psykos.
Her and Dr. Genus's research directions actually overlapped a bit.
However, Psykos created Monster cells to turn people into Monsters.
While Dr. Genus created Monsters in pursuit of human limits.
Suddenly—
the crows and rats that should have been under Akira's control began to move frequently.
Akira immediately sensed that Makima had intervened and gained Domination.
Akira was still worried that things would go too smoothly.
His Soldier Pills wouldn't even have a chance to appear.
Now that Makima knew about this, she would definitely make some moves.
He just waited quietly for the show to begin.
"Understood."
Outside the manor, in the Public Safety Commission's district branch,
Makima looked at the research results Dr. Genus spoke of on stage, and her lips couldn't help but curl up.
Rejuvenation.
Immortality.
It sounded wonderful.
But it would lead this world into an even more uncontrollable situation.
Her goal was to rule the entire world.
Some things—humanity—must make sacrifices.
Nothing beyond her control was allowed to happen.
So—
Boom!
"Lady Makima, this is bad—the Bat Devil has escaped toward the rich district."
Spider Devil pushed open the door and reported.
Makima's face was calm, without expression.
"Send more personnel. Try to capture it before it causes worse damage."
"Hahahahaha~!"
"You damn Public Safety Commission, you can't even catch me."
"I'll go eat a few people to wet my whistle, and then I'll come back for revenge later."
A flaw.
Under the pincer attack of countless Public Safety Commission members using their abilities,
the Bat Devil barely managed to break through.
With a burst of ultrasonic waves, it immediately discovered a large amount of fresh flesh and blood in the distant manor.
Its injuries were severe, and without thinking, it flew toward the manor.
"Damn it, what are you doing?"
"This guy got away again?"
"Sorry, I seemed to have zoned out for a moment."
"Newcomers are useless—hurry up and chase."
The Public Safety Commission cursed and chased after it.
But people run on the ground—at most they take a car.
Wanting to keep up with the Bat Devil flying in the sky wasn't that just a dream?
However, the Bat Devil's movements were watched by Makima remotely throughout.
"I've given you a chance, so you'd better seize it."
Boom!
The Bat Devil crashed directly into the banquet hall.
Its body, weighing dozens of tons, charged into the crowd like a reinforced dump truck.
In an instant,
blood splattered and limbs flew everywhere.
The Bat Devil casually grabbed a person and threw it into its mouth.
"Pah! The blood tastes terrible."
"The meat is old and tough."
As it spoke, the wounds on its body quickly healed.
Its gaze also began to search through the crowd.
"Tender skin—sweet women."
"Ah~!"
A woman in the crowd screamed as she was thrown into the Bat Devil's mouth, chewed once, and then lost her voice.
The crowd, already stunned with fear, instantly panicked.
They screamed and scattered.
Makoy was furious.
These 'leeks' were already ripe for harvest, but he hadn't expected the sudden intrusion of this Devil to completely nullify his meticulous plan.
"Someone, kill this ugly thing for me."
Samurai Sword walked out from the shadows, about to transform his forearm into a demon.
He then saw countless mosquitoes, like a whirlwind, rapidly sucking the blood from the ground.
And they swept toward the Bat Devil.
What is that!
Mosquitoes?
The Bat Devil almost laughed out loud.
This thing—it wants to compete with him.
Ultrasonic Wave!
Sound waves spewed from the Bat Devil's pig-like nose, and the mosquito whirlwind, along with the building's walls, were completely shattered.
And at this moment—
those blood-carrying mosquitoes had already injected the blood into Mosquito Girl's body.
Swish!
Mosquito Girl moved at high speed, her scythe-like legs instantly plowing two furrows into the Bat Devil's body.
Blood—fresh blood—couldn't be wasted.
Mosquito Girl had intended to use her high speed to absorb the gushing blood.
But the Bat Devil was not to be trifled with either.
Ultrasonic wave positioning allowed him to easily find Mosquito Girl's flight path.
Bang!
Mosquito Girl narrowly dodged.
But the mosquitoes were completely wiped out by the Bat Devil.
Seeing this, Samurai Sword led Makoy to a safe place.
This was his grandfather's friend, and also the benefactor who gave him the power for revenge.
In this situation, he still chose to prioritize taking the person away.
Akira and the others had already hidden to the side.
However, due to the destruction of the building's load-bearing structure, the door leading out of the banquet hall was jammed shut, and all the wealthy merchants huddled in corners, trembling with fear.
Gensei Suou's face was ashen.
He personally watched an A-class hero be crushed into a meat paste by this Bat Devil right in front of him.
This showed that the Bat Devil's combat power was at least one level higher than A—reaching S-class.
Akira's expression was calm. The Bat Devil, Mosquito Girl, the members of the House of Evolution, Samurai Sword, the Public Safety Devil Hunters who would soon arrive, and Makima, who was orchestrating from afar.
The situation was a bit complicated, but this was exactly the scene he had hoped for.
It was just that Asura Kabuto hadn't joined the battle yet, and the other Monsters hadn't appeared.
So he didn't act, but instead quickly moved among the group of wealthy merchants.
Earlier, fueled by adrenaline, these tycoons were flying high, and even if there were any collisions, they wouldn't feel the injury.
Now that they were gathered, wasn't this an opportunity for Akira?
"Excuse me, I'm a doctor…"
"Your hand is fractured."
"I have a Soldier Pill here that can completely heal your injury."
"It only costs ten million yen, and it will restore you."
The rich man saw Akira's professional technique, and he was already a bit dazed from the pain, so he immediately paid online and bought a Soldier Pill.
The seemingly ordinary rice ball was eaten by the rich man.
He immediately felt an itch in his fractured arm.
Moving it around, it actually returned to normal.
"Damn it—aren't you Suou Family's grandson? Do you have any more of those Soldier Pills? Give me a few more."
The old men nearby, whose injuries were similar to this rich man's, immediately surrounded him.
"Get out of the way, you! Young Master Akira, do you have any more? I'll pay 12 million yen—treat me first."
"I'll pay 15 million yen."
