Heroes Return

"Don't say that." A group of muscular men ran over: "We heard you've developed perfect muscles, we can exchange ideas."

"..." Lin Jie thought about the girls next to his three teammates, and then looked at the group of guys next to him!

"Let's go, it's my treat today! Let's go eat H City's specialty, roasted mandarin duck!" Lin Jie said.

“It’s such a waste to roast and eat mandarin ducks, such a symbolic bird,” a muscular man said.

"That's normal, haven't you heard? Showing off your love will lead to a quick breakup!"

……

At Lin Jie's house, Lin Wan and her little girl Lin Mumu were eating breakfast while watching the morning news.

"Today, under the leadership of our city's hero, the Winter Witch, and City A's hero, the Ice Fairy, the superheroes successfully cracked a transnational biological weapons trafficking case. The main perpetrators include the president of our city's Hero Association. At the same time, the police have also received reliable information that this President Ouyang is also engaged in illegal human experiments and secretly manipulated Cao Jing's hero rankings, among other crimes."

At this moment, the scene on the TV flashed to Ouyang Rui. Ouyang Rui was locked up and put into a prison van. Before getting into the van, he seemed to say something to Lin Jie next to him, and then got into the van with a silly smile.

"It's Brother Lin!" the little girl exclaimed.

"My brother finally got to be on TV!" Lin Wan said.

'In addition, the city's Class A hero hunters have also been hired by Ouyang Rui.'

As they spoke, the television screen shifted again, showing several police officers pushing a large block of ice towards a transport vehicle. The ice was used to freeze the hunters. And standing on the ice was Xiao Zhan.

At that moment, Xiao Zhan shouted at the camera, "Did you see that? Little Mumu, don't ever think about being a hero like that again. If you're going to be a hero, be a hero like me!!"

At that moment, a group of armed police officers were desperately pulling him down.

"It's Brother Xiao!" the little girl exclaimed excitedly.

"That idiot!" Lin Wan couldn't help but cover her forehead.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Epilogue

On a beautiful resort island, almost everything was now broken and dilapidated, adding a sense of decay to the otherwise beautiful island.

Thirteen was carrying a suitcase, waiting for the helicopter that would receive him to arrive.

"Is this what you wanted, Judah?" A young voice appeared behind him.

Thirteen turned around, and a handsome young man who looked as if he were bathed in light appeared behind him.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about?” Thirteen said.

"You cannot deceive me, Judas. I know everything," the boy said. If any other heroes witnessed this, they would be astonished, for this handsome young man was none other than one of the ten strongest guardians of human civilization—the 'Son of God,' a man born with the destiny to save the world. One of only ten SS-rank beings in the world.

“I’m just a tourist here, and don’t call me Judas. My name is Thirteen,” Thirteen replied.

"Why would the sea creatures know that their princess would be auctioned off on this island? Others might not know, but I do. It was you who did it, because leaking secrets is your specialty, isn't it?"

"Say what you will," Thirteen replied. "I doubt you'd believe me even if I said it was a coincidence."

“God has already arranged everything.” The Son of God said, “Is this what you wanted? This great war has resulted in the sacrifice of nearly three thousand people on this paradise island, all for the sake of an abandoned little girl.”

"A junkyard where slave trading takes place underground, and live experiments are conducted even deeper down?" Thirteen said sarcastically. "I think it's a good deal to trade the destruction of such a place for the future of an innocent little girl."

“Do you know why we didn’t touch this place before?” said the Son of God.

"I'm not interested in knowing."

“Because this place can provide a lot of information about the dark forces,” the Son of God said.

"Just for this reason, you're going to let this evil continue to be repeated?" Thirteen said.

“God had already arranged their sacrifice so that they could move towards a better future,” said the Son of God.

“Your god didn’t plan for me,” Thirteen said.

"Judas!"

“I told you, don’t call me by that name. My name is Thirteen. Also, I don’t believe in your god.” Thirteen’s expression changed from its usual gentleness to a chilling coldness: “Because I have never considered myself a sinner.”

“You have always been a sinner, Judas. From the day you were born, you were destined to be a sinner,” said the Son of God.

“What an unjust god,” Thirteen said. “But speaking of which, your god seemed to have arranged for you to lead humanity to rebuild civilization after Judgment Day, right? But it seems that Judgment Day was directly resolved by ‘Zero.’ So even gods can miscalculate! Also, doesn’t that mean your mission ended before it even began? You should go back to your god’s embrace sooner rather than later.”

"Judas! The fact that I am still alive means my mission is not over! Also! I will keep an eye on you, Judas! Although you are not strong, I do not want what happened on Paradise Island to happen again." With that, the Son of God disappeared in the light.

Watching the Son of God leave, Thirteen's cold expression returned to a warm smile.

……

On the top floor of the Shaw Building, dozens of people were having a celebration.

"Why hasn't Thirteen come back yet?" Xiao Zhan asked.

“I just made a phone call and heard that the third helicopter he was on crashed, and now he and the third pilot are waiting for rescue on a small island,” Lin Jie said.

"Then we won't wait for him." Xiao Zhan said, taking a remote control from the shadowy figure. The shadowy figure was standing next to Xiao Zhan, dressed in a maid outfit.

"Brothers, let's get this party started!" Xiao Zhan shouted as he activated a remote control, and a burst of energetic music rang out in the banquet hall.

……

"Brother Atan, you've arrived?" Black Gold and White Gold walked towards Atan together, only then noticing that there was a man standing next to him.

“This guy! Isn’t he that guy from Evolution Corporation called Weapon?” Platinum exclaimed in surprise.

"To be honest, we fought for hours in the peach grove that day. We both admired each other's abilities, but in the end, he gave in to me. From now on, we're family," Yatan said.

"Oh? So that's how it is. Doesn't that mean our team is even stronger?" Black Gold said excitedly.

They listened to what he said in a daze.

"I'm telling you, aren't you afraid of causing some scandals by recruiting such a bunch of muscular men?" Lin Jie said to Dong Xue'er, who was sipping red wine, while opening a bottle of soda.

"What am I afraid of? The Gay Alliance is a well-known gay alliance in H City," Dong Xue'er said with a smile.

"Huh?" Lin Jie was startled, and then he fell into deep thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Dong Xue'er asked.

"I went to eat grilled 'Yuan Yang' (a type of Sichuan hot pot) with them a couple of days ago," Lin Jie said. "I think I drank quite a bit too much. I'm wondering if we did anything weird, but damn it!! I can't remember anything!"

Lin Jie rubbed his head while chugging down soda.

"Speaking of which, we still haven't found that missing person from Evolution Company?" Dong Xue'er said.

“Don’t worry,” Platinum said from the side. “My brothers have already made progress. That guy should be in custody by tomorrow morning at the latest.”

……

This was on the outskirts of H City. Mr. Gan was trembling as he was surrounded by a group of muscular men carrying golden shields and spears.

“Accept the punishment of justice,” a muscular man said.

"Wait! I surrender! I'm not a combatant! I beg you to treat me well, I want a lawyer! Wait... what are you going to do? Ah! No! Sector C is terrifying!!"

Mr. Gan's mournful cries echoed throughout the suburbs.

"Accept our modifications! Perhaps we can consider letting you join my alliance."

……

At the venue, someone bumped into the man with glasses, and his glasses fell to the ground. His glasses, which already had many cracks, developed even deeper cracks when they hit the ground.

"Sage Glasses! Are you alright?" the man with glasses said sadly.

'The future King of Glasses! I think my mission is about to be completed.'

"No! You have to hold on! I'll find a way to fix you," the bespectacled man said sadly.

'I was already done for after your last battle.'

Don't say that.

"Listen to me, future King of Glasses, I'm nearing my end, but your journey must continue. Also, before I die, I hope you can pass on a message to the lady wearing the third pair of glasses on the third row of shelf 20 in the glasses shop... just say..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Lin Jie ran past him and stepped on the glasses.

Then the glasses went completely silent.

"Sorry! I drank too much soda and I need to go to the toilet urgently! Don't you have a lot of spare eyes?" Lin Jie said as he ran towards the toilet.

"Ah! The Sage's Glasses!" The Glasses Guy's sorrowful sobs were completely out of place in this cheerful atmosphere.

"You're such a grown man, and you're still crying over a pair of glasses. Aren't you ashamed?" Dong Xiaoye walked over with two trays, placing one in the glasses man's hands: "Come and have some roasted mandarin duck, it tastes pretty good."

"What do you know? The bond between me and these glasses is something you can't possibly understand," the man with glasses said, taking the tray. Then he looked at his other hand, which was wrapped in bandages.

"I almost forgot, you can't hold a fork with this hand. Here, ah..." Dong Xiaoye said, using her fork to pick up a piece of sliced ​​pork and put it into the mouth of the bespectacled man.

"Oh my god, I think I saw something I shouldn't have seen." Dong Xue'er appeared behind Dong Xiaoye at this moment. Dong Xiaoye was so startled that she threw the fork at the bespectacled man's face.

"I...I...I...we didn't do anything!! I just felt sorry for him because he couldn't even eat...like feeding stray dogs! That's right, it was feeding stray dogs!" Dong Xiaoye stammered.

"Huh? I don't think I've said anything yet," Dong Xue'er said with a smile.

"You bastard!"

"Sister Lin, what are they doing?" The little girl not far away asked, pointing at the bespectacled man and Dong Xiaoye.

"You'll find out later," Lin Wan said, wiping the cream from the little girl's lips.

……

Volume Two, Family? This is troublesome.

Chapter One

The central square of H City was packed with people. The Togami Family, H City's super idol group, was preparing to hold their brand new performance here.

Right behind the stage, in a makeup truck, members of the Togami family and their manager were talking.

"This time, we've brought in the D-class criminal, Man-Eating Shark. Don't worry, the same thing will definitely not happen again," the manager said to Togami with a smile.

"Are you sure?" Togami asked cautiously, still remembering the painful memory of being brutally beaten by criminals he had hired.

"This time we've hired a Class D criminal. Even if he really goes berserk, I believe you all should be able to handle him easily," the manager said. Then, hearing the increasingly loud cheers outside, he added, "It's about time you all made your appearance."

"Is that so? Brothers, let's go." Togami and his fellow members walked onto the stage together.
