He struggled to lift his head and, through the cracks in the broken wall, saw the two figures.
A man wearing a comical yellow bodysuit and sporting a bald head.
The other was dressed in black, with a tall and straight figure. Even in the ruins, he exuded a calm and oppressive aura that seemed out of place with his surroundings.
The wolf's pupils suddenly contracted to the most dangerous pinpoints.
That man in black... he just stood there, and it was as if he were the center of the world...
"KING!"
The name exploded in his mind like a thunderclap.
There are too many legends about KING: the Emperor Engine, the Infernal Invincible Explosive Wave Cannon... each one represents the pinnacle of human martial prowess!
The hungry wolf's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
Then, his gaze fell on the bald man next to him.
"This is..." Garou frantically searched through the Hero Association's S-class list in his mind.
"Ah, I remember now. It's that S-rank 18 who was recently promoted, his codename is something like 'Bald Cape Man'? What an incredibly stupid name."
How could a rookie S-rank and the strongest S-rank actually get together?
A ferocious smile spread across the wolf's lips.
This is a godsend!
Hunting two S-class heroes at the same time, one of whom is at the pinnacle!
What a magnificent evil!
This battle will surely be the opening chapter of his "Hungry Wolf" legend!
All the pain in his body seemed to disappear at that moment, replaced by boundless fighting spirit.
The hungry wolf lowered his body and exerted force with his leg muscles, instantly cracking the ground with his powerful impact.
"Let you become the foundation stones on my path to becoming a god-level monster!"
He pushed the essence of martial arts he had learned from countless battles to its limit, and the stance of the "Water Flow Rock Shattering Fist" was perfectly displayed on his scarred body.
"Here comes KING! Bald Capeman!"
The next second, he moved!
His figure instantly covered a distance of tens of meters.
His target was the seemingly unsuspecting bald man. In his view, the best tactic was to take care of this newcomer first and then deal with KING with all his might!
His palm transformed into a sharp hand blade, aiming straight for Saitama's nape!
This strike combined all his speed, power, and skill; it was the strongest strike he could unleash at this moment!
Close! Closer!
He could even see the reflection of the other person's smooth back of the head in the setting sun!
Victory is at hand!
However, just as he was brimming with confidence, believing he was about to make history—
The bald man didn't even turn around.
He simply raised his right hand impatiently and swung it back at the back of his neck.
The hungry wolf's vision instantly spun around.
In his last moments of consciousness, only one thought flashed through his mind:
"What……?"
Then, the world was plunged into deep darkness.
The hungry wolf's body flew backward at an even faster speed than it had come, drawing a messy arc in the air.
Finally, with a "plop," it crashed face down into a pile of construction debris, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then lay motionless.
Saitama withdrew his hand and glanced behind him in confusion. "Did something bump into me just now? Was it my imagination, or was it a giant bug?"
Lin Mo stopped and glanced at the figure in the distance who had completely fainted. He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and said:
"It's not a bug. It's that 'Hero Hunter' who's been giving the Hero Association a lot of headaches lately, Garou."
A sense of unease flashed through Lin Mo's mind; he wondered whether he should capture the Hungry Wolf now and hand him over to the association.
But then he thought better of it; the current Garou is still too weak and has not yet grown to the level he should have.
Moreover, he is a key figure in a series of important plot developments. If we send him to prison now, the story will fall apart.
"Oh? It's him."
Saitama's expression remained unchanged; his entire focus was on the upcoming game match. He turned back and continued enthusiastically to Lin Mo:
"By the way, KING! Let's make this clear: no using that bugged character in this game! It's not fair!"
"Okay." Lin Mo nodded with a smile.
"Also, you said you'd use two fingers. If you cheat and use a third finger halfway through, you lose!"
The two continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
They seamlessly transitioned back to "friendly negotiations" regarding the rules of the game.
The sun had completely set, and the moonlight poured down like mercury, illuminating their departing figures and also the hungry wolf that had been knocked unconscious in the garbage heap.
He lay there all alone, his body still bearing the scars from his battle with Watchdog Man, now bearing a new wound.
Chapter 150 The Powerful KING
Excruciating pain that penetrates to the bone marrow.
After an unknown amount of time, a hand suddenly twitched within the pile of construction debris, followed by the wolf's body trembling violently.
The first thing he regained was his hearing; he heard the howling of the wind blowing through the ruins.
Then came the sense of smell, which detected the pungent odor of rust mixed with dust.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a shattered cement slab.
"Cough...cough cough!" He coughed violently, each cough tearing at his chest with excruciating pain.
what happened?
Memories flashed through his mind like fragments.
Watchdog Man...hunting...fighting...and then...
He remembered!
He discovered the S-class hero KING and the newly promoted S-class hero "Bald Cape Man"!
He launched a perfect surprise attack!
Then... there was nothing.
His memory abruptly ended the moment he was about to strike the bald man.
"I...I've been defeated?"
The hungry wolf struggled, using its trembling arms to prop itself up.
He examined his injuries, and apart from the intense pain all over his body and the buzzing in his head, it seemed... there were no fatal wounds.
This was more humiliating to him than being seriously injured!
This shows that the other party didn't take him seriously at all!
That wasn't a battle at all; it was like someone casually swatting a mosquito and not even glancing at the corpse.
Is that the bald, caped hero?
Having witnessed the strength of several S-class heroes, especially the Tank Top Master whom he easily defeated, he absolutely did not believe that a bald man in a ridiculous bodysuit could have such strength.
A hero's strength can be discerned from their aura and demeanor. That bald guy... was too ordinary, as ordinary as a passerby.
Well, there is only one answer.
Is it KING? It must be him! The legendary strongest man on Earth!
The hungry wolf's mind raced as he deduced the scenario.
The moment he launched his attack, the man, the KING who had remained silent, retaliated with a speed beyond his own perception limits!
Even his own eyes and nerves couldn't catch his movements!
That's terrifying... Is this the power of KING?
A twisted expression, a mixture of anger and...excitement, appeared on the wolf's face.
This is the absolute power he seeks!
As for that "bald cape-wearing hero"...
Having witnessed the strength of several S-class heroes, especially Tanktop Master, he didn't think this bald guy was that strong.
“KING…”
He squeezed out the name through clenched teeth, and the flame in his eyes reignited, burning even brighter than before.
"And that bald guy...you just wait...I will definitely...find you again, and then, hunt you down completely!"
He leaned against the broken wall, stood up unsteadily, and dragged his badly injured body into the shadows of the ruins.
What he didn't notice was that the eighth-ranked A-class hero—Death Gatling—had already spotted him.

The convenience store's automatic door slid open, and warm, bright lights shone on the two of them.
Compared to the previous ruins, this place is simply paradise.
The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of goods, and the air was filled with their aroma. Behind the cashier, the shop assistant was yawning boredly.
"Oh! It's a new flavor of potato chips!"
