When the effect of Time Freeze was removed, the originally slow time suddenly returned to normal.

Therefore, in the eyes of Saionji Zaio, who was lying on the ceiling vent,

He only had time to hear a loud sound of metal colliding. Or rather, there were a lot of sounds.

They were stacked on top of each other.

Together, they made a heavy sound like the vibration of a big bell. Then, the chain on the girl broke.

She fell down.

Everything happened so suddenly that he was caught off guard.

"Shih!"

Saionji Zaio, who was lying on the ceiling, couldn't care less about hiding. He subconsciously shouted in horror.

However, the already rusted beam seemed to be unable to withstand the shaking and torment. It snapped cleanly and fell down together.

In the nick of time,

Saionji, who was worried about his friend, could only choose to save the only person he could save at the moment.

So, he used the metal mechanical glove to grab the collar of the middle-aged man. The latter was still unconscious.

He didn't know that his life had fallen into the hands of a child who was as young as his own son.

The mixed-race student shouted so loudly and nervously.

Purple Hair wasn't deaf.

Of course, he heard a boy's heart-wrenching roar coming from above.

He looked up unconsciously. He was full of doubts and thought that he was hallucinating … until he saw a black shadow falling down like a bird with broken wings.

He raised the tablet in his hand to block something, but he didn't know if it was fate or something else.

A bank transfer message popped up on the screen. "Funds have been received." The gaze of the gangster, who valued money as much as his life, stopped on the computer screen.

He hesitated for a full two seconds before he reacted.

Purple Hair heard the sound of the wind coming from above his head. He simply gritted his teeth.

Not only did his whole body fall backward,

But at the same time, he threw the computer over his head with force.

He wanted to use this very precious computer to buy himself some time to escape!

The computer drew a fierce arc in the air.

It was about to hit Gamma Ceti.

The girl narrowed her eyes. Maybe she was forced by the wind when she fell, or maybe she was really angry. Anyway, she knew that an object thrown by an adult male with full strength would definitely not be as light as a feather.

Therefore …

She clearly did not have any leverage in midair, but her body strangely twisted like a spinning top, causing the half of the iron chain hanging on her arm to suddenly tighten!

Bang!

The half-meter-long chain was like a whip. It spun half a circle in the air and accurately hit the computer. The computer's screen was shattered and the computer's components were sent flying.

The next moment, Gamma Ceti's entire body slammed into Purple Hair's body like a cannonball, causing him to slide several meters on the ground!

When the dust settled, Purple Hair, who was lying on the ground, coughed in pain. His ribs were broken, and one of the broken bones was stuck in his lung.

As a result, he coughed up blood, but his hands were tightly gripping the neck of the culprit. It turned out that he wanted to strangle the child to death!

Gamma Ceti desperately pulled at his fingers and breathed with difficulty. She did not know how many bones in her body were broken, but she knew that if she did not break free, she would really die.

Therefore, this person used a hoarse voice to weakly shout the name of the only person who could help him and assist him.

"Bo … Bo Hao Sheng Ji!"

"I got it!"

The boy who was forced to lie on the ground with the chair suddenly felt the weight on his back disappear. He knew that something must have happened to Purple Hair.

Therefore, he did not know where the strength came from, but his originally weak body suddenly gained strength out of nowhere. He immediately used all his strength to flip over and jump back!

When he was once again in a lying position, the chair on his back was pressing down on the two people behind him.

"Stinky brat!

Go away! "

Purple Hair roared angrily. The heavy chair leg directly pressed down on his ankle, making a teeth-numbing sound. It seemed that there was blood splashing out, and the pain made his whole face contort.

As the person who was strangling his neck subconsciously loosened his grip, Gamma Ceti, who could finally speak a complete sentence, immediately roared with red eyes, "— — Blow him up!!"

Because he was ordered by someone, Takeshi was so manic that he looked like he was going to explode in the next moment, "Idiot!

You're so noisy! "

In fact, he did not know whose body he was pressing down on with his hands tied behind the chair. It could be Gamma Ceti, or it could be the bastard who used him as a chair. But it did not matter!

In any case, it would explode!

Therefore, Purple Hair's eyes were filled with shock and anger. He saw a shocking golden-red flame erupt from the gap between the fingers of the boy who was pressing down on his crotch!

The rumbling explosion sounded again, and even more billowing black smoke rose from the ground.

When Kota Aizawa kicked open the locked door while panting, he was surprised to find that not only did he find a half-dead hamster on the ground, but he also found the rich young master who went missing at home, the swearing hostage Blondie, and the unconscious nameless uncle.

Of course, the most miserable person was the Purple Hair gangster who was lying on the ground, his pants and skin covered in traces of blood and smoke.

Aizawa, who showed his identity as a professional hero, let everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Then, the man went to check on the situation of the children, and learned from Saionji Zaio what had happened. Finally, he went to check on the robber who was in a state of shock.

How miserable. Even if he was sent to a doctor with medical skills in time, he would not be able to be a man for the rest of his life.

From the standpoint of the same sex, he silently sympathized with him for a second, and then quickly ended this irrelevant pity.

Kota Aizawa first chatted with the mixed-blood, and after figuring out who the uncle with a swollen nose lying on the ground was, he checked on the condition of the other two.

"The bone in your right leg is broken. What did you do?" Aizawa asked as he helped Gamma Ceti to treat her wound.

The girl who did not want to answer this question chose to close her eyes and pretend to be dead.

"Speaking of which, you have terrible luck." Aizawa checked his bandage skills, and after confirming that there were no problems, he continued, "Last time it was a fire, this time it was a kidnapping, what's next?

Food poisoning?

Drowning?

Or fainting after hitting a street lamp while walking? "

"…" Faced with this kind of question, Gamma Ceti could only continue to pretend to be asleep. Her breathing was long, and she was very obedient.

Aizawa knew that he would never be able to wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep, so his next sentence was his trump card, "I brought candy for you. Do you want to eat it?"

Gamma Ceti immediately opened her eyes, and a light of desire appeared in her round black eyes, "Yes!

Thank you, Uncle Aizawa! "

The other two onlookers were speechless.

Girl, are your standards that low?

However, Kota Aizawa already knew that she loved eating candy the most. He skillfully took out a piece of nut filled chocolate candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Gamma Ceti's mouth. The latter's face immediately showed a happy expression, and she looked silly.

Sheng Ji could not help but laugh, "How old are you? Still thinking about eating candy all day."

Who knew that the next second, Aizawa would turn around with a few pieces of milk candy in his hand. He handed it to him and Saionji Zaio, "Eat some. Maybe you'll feel better."

Sheng Ji was speechless.

His little face darkened, and he was very uncomfortable with admitting that he was still a fool who loved eating candy.

However, Saionji still took the candy for him with a smile and forced a piece into Takeshi's mouth.

— — Oh, it's so sweet.

At this moment, the battle at the other end of the factory was about to come to an end.

At this point, Niisawa Riichong was no longer thinking about the ransom. He planned this kidnapping in order to take revenge on Takuya Saionji. Since Takuya Saionji had delivered himself to the door, who cared about hostages and accomplices?

"Takuya Saionji!"

Niisawa Riichong's hair was messy at this time, and there were clear bloodstains on his forehead. Takuya Saionji himself was not much better. The custom-made black suit jacket had long disappeared, revealing a tattered, sweaty, and bloodstained white shirt that barely covered his body.

Saionji was a little tired. Just as he said, although he got the best results in his year when he graduated from Shijie Academy, he had retired to take over the family business after getting married. After all, it had been too long since he fought, so he was a little disadvantaged at the beginning of the battle.

Therefore, he tried his best to keep his breathing steady. In order to buy more time to rest, he replied, "What are you trying to say?"

"Me... I'm just an ordinary person."

Niisawa Riichong closed his eyes, allowing the sweat on his face to flow to the wound on his forehead. It was very painful, but he did not care at all. He just slowly said, "My learning ability is not outstanding, and my personality is not particularly strong. I didn't even study Hero Science in high school. Even after I went to graduate school, even you, as a senior, looked down on me..."

Takuya Saionji frowned and interrupted him, "During the years we studied together, I didn't look down on you."

"Yeah?

See, see for yourself!

This is the tone, the tone of someone who is high above others, the tone of someone who interrupts others casually! "

Niisawa Riichong shouted as if he had found the answer, "Do you think this is a sign of respect?"

"The reason why I don't respect you now is because you tried to hurt my family. You don't deserve my respect at all."

Takuya said coldly, "But when I was studying and doing research, I didn't discriminate against you."

"Discrimination?

Hahaha... Yes, you think you didn't discriminate against me or look down on me, but in my opinion, even if you just exist there, you are as dazzling as the sun!

Do you understand that feeling?

A moth living in the dark simply wants to be closer to the candle flame, but it is directly blinded by the sun!

This pain, have you ever understood? "

As he spoke, Niisawa Riichong, the leader of the robbers who killed without blinking, actually shed tears.

"— — The pain of being an ordinary person!

The pain of being mediocre and incompetent!

The irresistible mediocrity of fate!

These things, these playthings, every moment, every day, every night, are tormenting my heart!

You don't understand at all. You were born into a rich family, how could you understand these things? "

As he said this, he could not help but cry bitterly. Because of his intense emotions, the air around his body was distorted and fluctuating.

Seeing this scene, Takuya Saionji could not help but change his expression slightly, "Maybe... But ordinary people have the benefits of ordinary people. Being born into a rich family also has the lifestyle of a rich family.

If you don't want to go on the path arranged by fate, you can work hard to resist. But Niisawa, why do you have to go on such an evil path! "

"Niisawa, do you know?"

He could not help but roar, hoping to awaken the remaining kindness and conscience in Niisawa's heart, "Why didn't teacher pass on his mantle to me?"

Niisawa Riichong was so surprised that he even stopped crying. He remembered the scholar who took him to study the development of personality, the kind old man who asked him to be his student.

"You mean... the results of teacher's research?

Why do you say this... Aren't you his successor?

Moreover, after he passed away, even the research institute was bought by you! "

Faced with a series of questions, Takuya Saionji calmly replied, "Yes, the research institute that teacher was in charge of was indeed bought by me.

But if I wanted to buy it, I could have done it when he was still alive.

And the reason why I didn't think about doing it before was because he once told me that compared to me who was destined to inherit the family business, he liked you more. "

"Because in his eyes, although your talent was not the best, you were the most down-to-earth and hardworking student."

He paused, watching Niisawa's face turn pale little by little, and then he said something with great weight.

"Niisawa Riichong, you are teacher's chosen successor."

"How is it possible... How is it possible!"

Niisawa Riichong could not believe his ears. He looked like he was crying, but also like he was laughing, "That old man, that — hypocritical bastard!

He would never say that!

Or rather, he just played both of us in the palm of his hand. "

Saionji's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly, "Niisawa!

You can insult me, but you can't insult the teacher who has passed away!

How he treated us, how he treated the other students, you also saw it, right?

How, how can you say that he is a bastard? "

At this time, Niisawa finally calmed down a little, and he said with a cruel smile, "Speaking of which, you probably don't know about this … That year, he was drunk and fell into a roadside pond. I don't know if he froze to death or drowned in it."

"That day, I happened to go out to buy some food to go with the wine and bumped into him. He was sitting on the steps by the roadside and asked me to take him back. I agreed … But do you know why the police finally concluded that he fell into the water and died?"

Niisawa Riichong suddenly laughed when he said this, "I killed him!

He did fall into the water, but I stood on the shore and watched. I watched how that bastard old man struggled and wailed — I watched him die! "

Takuya Saionji's expression finally changed. The mature face that was used to seeing life and death and the changes in the business world suddenly became sad and painful. No matter how tolerant a person was, when hearing the truth of his teacher's death, it was impossible to remain indifferent.

"… I see." He said this sentence in a cold tone, "You do deserve to die."

As his voice fell, most of the brick debris and heavy machinery in the originally dilapidated ruins flew up from the floor. Even the iron sheet of the ceiling was forcibly torn off by psychokinesis, revealing the starry sky outside.

It was as if there was an invisible hand pinching them and molding them into the shape of a fierce beast.

The moment it took shape, it rushed over, smashing everything that blocked its way along the way. At the same time, there seemed to be an angry roar erupting from its mouth.

Although Niisawa's hands were already stained with blood, and his fist bones were even full of cracks, he still punched forward with all his strength!

Each of his punches was like a life of no return.

"Rumble —"

For a moment, the air between the two trembled. His personality was to absorb and store strength, and then use it on his opponent.

For this day, he didn't know how many times he had let others beat him to store up such an amazing amount of strength.

The two angry men completely destroyed the entire factory.

At this time, Kota Aizawa had already moved the children and the middle-aged driver to a safe place nearby, as well as a pile of tied up robbers.

In order to prevent Gamma Ceti's right leg from being hurt a second time due to moving randomly, he simply carried the unlucky brat on his back.

When they came to the beach, they turned around and saw the sudden explosion of fireballs in the factory. They were stunned.

Saionji Zaio was especially panicked. "What about my dad?

Dad is still inside! "

"Don't worry."

Aizawa stroked his soft golden hair as if he was comforting a golden retriever. Suddenly, he felt that it was not bad to marry a foreign woman and have a good-looking mixed-race child. "Your dad is not a man who can be killed by such an explosion."

Sheng Ji, who was standing at the side, was speechless.

He really wanted to ask if he could do this, but because the other party was his classmate's father, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was here to save someone, it would be rude to ask such a question. So, he opened his mouth but didn't speak for a moment.

It turned out that the fight between the two brothers had affected the expired chemicals stored in the basement. Those were items left here by the original manufacturer, so it didn't seem particularly surprising that they had exploded.

In the billowing smoke and flames, a figure rushed out and rolled a few times on the beach before putting out the fire on his body.

Saionji Zaio cheered when he saw the person who came. He rushed down the sand dune and couldn't be stopped.

"Dad!

Dad! "

Aizawa shook his head, feeling helpless. He placed the sleeping Gamma Ceti under a coconut tree and said to Sheng Ji, "Watch them. I'll go check on Mr. Saionji."

Takeshi snorted and looked extremely unwilling, but he obediently sat down cross-legged to indicate that he would watch.

Aizawa thought, … What's there to be proud of at such a young age?

He rushed to Takuya Saionji, who was lying on the beach and panting, and asked, "Are you alright, Mr. Takuya?"

"I'm fine."

Takuya Saionji coughed a little and replied, "But that guy took a punch from me. He vomited blood and jumped into the sea to escape."

Kota Aizawa's expression suddenly turned serious. "Have you figured out his identity?

I'll immediately inform the police and the Professional Hero Association to arrest him. "

"Phew … Sorry to trouble you."

After Takuya Saionji finished speaking, he turned over and ignored the sand all over his body. He just looked up and breathed in the salty sea breeze. His eyes looked up at the starry sky above his head, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

… Ordinary pain?

How sad.

However, he wasn't sure if this lamentation was directed at himself or his junior brother, the murderer who killed his teacher.

The next morning, all the major news publishers in Tokyo reported the big news of the kidnapping of a conglomerate's heir. The reporters were like flies that had smelled the fragrance, buzzing around Saionji's mansion.

However, due to the principle of protecting minors, Gamma Ceti and company's role in the incident was concealed after negotiating with the police. The news report only said that "the hostage was pursued by professional heroes after the hostage kidnapping failed."

At the same time, in an ordinary fishing village with beautiful scenery about two hundred kilometers south of Tokyo, someone was taking a stroll. Suddenly, he saw a figure rising and falling not far away.

Therefore, he got someone to pick up the thing to see if it was a whale or something else. It might even be a Devil's Fruit.

After picking it up, he sighed in disappointment. It turned out to be a human.

"Throw it back into the sea."

He ordered. "It's probably a loser from a gang fight in Tokyo who escaped after being sunk into Tokyo Bay."

His subordinate nodded. "Okay, boss."

However, when the subordinate's hand touched the half-dead man who had skin all over his body, it was bounced away by an invisible force.

"Save … Save me …" He looked up with difficulty and desire. When he saw the man's face clearly, his pupils contracted instantly. "You, you are … that …"

"Oh, you still recognize me? It seems like you're not doing too badly, Niisawa Riichong."

The man squatted down and looked at him deeply. "Are you surprised that I know the name of a loser like you?

Because I just saw the news. You are wanted. "

"Please, I can … do anything for you!"

Niisawa Riichong, who was fierce in front of outsiders, was as humble as an ant in the dust at this moment.

The man thought for a few seconds and looked at the expressionless faces of his subordinates. He seemed to feel that it was shameful to do good deeds in front of his subordinates, so he whispered, "Okay."

Niisawa breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to smile, but he felt that his head was pressed down, and his whole body suddenly stiffened.
