Morning.

Hell's Kitchen retained its simple, rustic street atmosphere.

Boom!

Rimuru stepped forward and punched a bald man in the leg, instantly knocking him to the ground.

Around her lay seven or eight gang members who had been conducting a smuggling operation.

"Ah, who are you?! How dare you ruin the business of the underground kingpin, Kingpin!"

Rimuru, wearing a black windbreaker and mask, said sternly without any trace of ease:

"Listen carefully. Even if I don't change my name, I won't change my surname. Hawkeye! How dare you call yourself the underground king in front of me!"

"Send a message to Kingpin. Within seven days, have him transfer one million dollars to this account—or I'll cut off your head."

Huh?

The gang members were completely stunned.

Hawkeye?

Which superhero suddenly shows up and does this?

Not only did she destroy Kingpin's business, she also directly demanded millions. Is she really a hero who fights evil?

She seems more terrifying than the criminals themselves.

Rimuru weighed the password box in her hand with satisfaction.

In a beginner village like this, Kingpin is definitely a boss worth farming. Killing small fry is nothing compared to looting him.

With this hundred million dollars, her financial crisis was finally relieved.

At least now she could pay rent and hire a chef.

As expected: without unexpected wealth, one cannot become rich.

"Now, hand over all your cash. Now. Immediately."

Huh?

The gang members almost cried.

Not only did she take all the transaction money, she even wanted their pocket change.

Who is the robber here?

A vampire!

Five minutes later.

Rimuru left satisfied, while the unconscious gang members lay behind her.

She was becoming more and more skilled at "hypnosis through physical persuasion."

Before leaving, she even called 911 in a very "enthusiastic citizen" manner.

Tomorrow morning, they might even get a free "care breakfast" in jail.

No need to thank her—such thoughtful service.

She stored the password box in her stomach but still wasn't satisfied.

"Aya, are there any other crimes nearby?"

Aya's voice came through the mask display:

"Master, I have hacked into the police system. There is a particularly severe live-streamed crime case. Two hostages are being beaten and doused in kerosene. Extremely dangerous."

"What?!"

Rimuru was shocked.

A live-streamed murder and arson?

This was outrageous.

"Where are they? Track the location immediately and send me the coordinates!"

"Understood."

Rimuru summoned her Wind God armor from storage.

Aya's technology was cutting-edge, and the internet was essentially her domain.

A few seconds later, flames erupted from the tail of the armor as it shot toward the crime scene.

On the internet, the sudden live broadcast caused a huge uproar.

At first, people thought it was a prank, but when they saw the hostages being beaten and soaked in kerosene, the entire audience fell silent.

Especially when they saw the kerosene poured over their bodies—everyone felt a chill.

A man in green with a ridiculous mask was already widely known online. People called him "Kick-Ass," a normal guy trying to be a superhero.

Many viewers immediately called 911, but the location was disguised as a studio, making rescue extremely difficult.

Dave was badly injured and full of regret. He had tried to give up being a hero, but now he had dragged Mindy and Big Daddy into danger.

It was all his fault.

Bang!

A gunshot shattered the studio lights.

Then gunfire erupted.

Hope rekindled in Dave's heart when he saw a small silhouette in the darkness.

Mindy—she was alive! He had thought she was dead after falling off the balcony.

Suddenly, the battlefield shifted.

The enemy was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

Big Daddy was set on fire by kerosene, and Mindy was also injured. Everything was collapsing.

Who could save them?

Then—

A massive explosion tore through the ceiling.

A silver-armored figure descended.

Dave was ecstatic.

Iron Man?

No.

It was the Silver Armored God of War!

"Please, Silver Armored God of War! Save Big Daddy—he's going to be burned alive!"

Rimuru immediately acted.

She cast a protective barrier over Big Daddy, shielding him from flames, then used the heat control of her skill "Black Flame" to extinguish all fire instantly.

In just a few breaths, the flames were gone.

Both Dave and Big Daddy were stunned.

Big Daddy himself didn't even know how the fire had been extinguished.

But there was no time to think.

"Don't worry about me! Save Mindy!"

Clack!

Rimuru broke his restraints and placed a healing ointment on him. His injuries rapidly healed before his eyes—scars disappearing instantly.

Big Daddy was completely shocked.

How was this possible?

Life and death reversed in an instant.

Who was this armored god?

Dave was even more stunned—his mouth wide open.

Rimuru then freed Dave as well and applied healing medicine.

For Dave, this felt like a dream.

Was this really a superhero?

Terrifying.

Rimuru patted his shoulder.

"I understand you. You have a hero's heart."

Dave's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

A real superhero had acknowledged him.

Rimuru continued:

"If you want to be a hero, passion alone isn't enough—you need skill. Starting tomorrow, train with Big Daddy."

"Yes!"

Dave straightened up, more determined than ever.

Within one minute, all the criminals were eliminated.
