“Crash!”
Blizzard of Hell opened her white and tender palm and gently spun her wrist. The tables, chairs, and water bottles in the train carriage suddenly floated in the air; it was as if the carriage had been submerged in water.
“Blizzard of Hell, for a supposed Hero, you so easily abandoned the life of a citizen. Are you still worthy to be called a Hero?”
Shortblade Marauder was shocked that Blizzard of Hell readily prepared to attack. His eyes flashed with panic. If this was any other B-class Hero, he would have nothing to fear. However, this is Blizzard of Hell. She was ranked first among B-class Heroes, but her strength was comparable to the upper ranks of the A-class Heroes. She was one of the few Heroes with true superpowers in the Heroes Association.
He definitely can’t fight Blizzard of Hell head-on!
He had to think of other ways!
He pressed the nail cutter in his hand on King’s neck and threatened loudly, “Blizzard of Hell, I will kill him immediately if you don’t stop.”
“Seriously, how dare you try to threaten Heroes Association’s biggest Hero group—the Blizzard group. Did you hit your head on a door?” Blizzard of Hell’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she said, “A bounty target targeted by my Blizzard group will never be able to escape. Get real!”
A burly man with gorilla-like large and stout legs sneered, “You idiot, why would our Blizzard group bow to your threat? Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you took a hostage! We Heroes have to protect the greater good. The sacrifice of few people is inevitable.”
His nickname was Mountain Ape. He was the third rank B-class Hero. He was an elder of the Blizzard group and also one of Blizzard of Hell’s right-hand men.
Another man with long hair, beard, and beautiful eyelashes spread his hands and smiled. “Be a good boy and commit suicide. It can save us a bit of effort. You should know that we are very busy, and we don’t have the time to waste on you.”
His name was Eyelashes, the second-ranked B-class Hero. He was also one of Blizzard of Hell’s right-hand men.
Among the big men in Blizzard’s group, there was a pretty girl with a large lily flower on her head and a handful of light blue bangs covering her forehead. “Lady Blizzard has personally arrived. You will never escape us. Let go of the hostage and accept the judgment of justice!”
She was Lily of the Three-Section Staff, ranked 74th in B class Hero. Her rank was relatively low, but as the only girl in Blizzard’s group and coupled with her pretty appearance, she had a special status in Blizzard’s group, only behind Blizzard of Hell, Eyelashes, and Mountain Ape.
“Yes, you can’t run away.”
“Surrender is your only way out.”
The other Blizzard group members shouted loudly.
Shortblade Marauder’s heart sank. Damn it, I didn’t expect to meet a crazy woman who doesn’t play by the rules. She would violate Hero’s duty to take my life. Blizzard of Hell
 you are ruthless! However, I am even more ruthless!
His eyes gleamed, and he made up his mind to drag King down with him.
“Humph, the most vicious is a woman’s heart. Blizzard of Hell, you forced me to do this.”
He gritted his teeth and prepared to pull the nail clippers on King’s neck. It seems that he would have a companion on the road to the underworld.
“Wait a minute!”
Among Blizzard’s group of well-suited men, there was a bespectacled young man with delicate features who looked like an ordinary young man. He shouted to stop Shortblade Marauder.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “Let him go, and let me be your hostage.”
“Glasses, come back.”
“This idiot. You have just risen to B-class Hero; you’re going to ruin Lady Blizzard’s rescue plan.”
“Damn eight-grade syndrome kid, go return that hot-blooded justice to your mother. A rash action without proper logic will just agitate the criminal, you idiot.”
Eyelashes and the others scolded him. Blizzard of Hell frowned; a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her beautiful eyes. Is he a new B-class Hero? Does he not know the rules? I, Lady Blizzard, have not told you anything. Why are you acting strong? Are you underestimating me because I’m not my sister?
“You? Why would I? I have a perfectly weak ordinary citizen in my hand. I can drag him down with me before I die. But if you replace him with a B-class Hero, I would probably go to hell alone. Sorry, I hate being lonely, so let him accompany me!”
Shortblade Marauder cackled, clenching his nail cutter tightly.
The glasses man shouted angrily, “Don’t
”
Ring!
At this time, a phone rang in the narrow train carriage.
Blizzard of Hell scolded, “Whose phone rang? Didn’t I warn you? You have to turn off your mobile phone to avoid distraction during battle!”
Mountain Ape and the other Blizzard group member looked at each other and shook their heads. It was not their phone.
King interrupted the chain of shaking heads weakly, “That
 I’m sorry, it’s my phone. May I ask
 Can I pick up the call? Shortblade Marauder?”
“Eh? Ha, I didn’t expect that someone would still care about you at the end of your life. You lived a happy life. Since you and I will be leaving this world together, I allow you to leave a few last words. Just answer the phone!”
Shortblade Marauder laughed in surprise.
“Thank you.”
King thanked him and took out his phone from his pocket, but Shortblade Marauder interrupted him before he could answer the call. “Wait a minute.”
“What’s wrong?”
King paused.
“Put it on loudspeaker. Humph, who knows what kind of person is calling you. If the one calling is a Hero, I will kill you immediately.”
What a cautious guy.
King cursed in his heart and pressed the hands-free button.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Hello, is this uncle King? I am Child Emperor. Where are you now? Hurry back to the research institute. I want to thank you for the gift that you left me.”
Child Emperor’s cute voice came from the other side of the line.
“King?!”
Blizzard of Hell, Shortblade Marauder, Eyelashes, Mountain Ape, Lily, and others present immediately trembled when they heard the name “King”. They all looked at King, who was wearing a white guard suit and a cap to hide his appearance.
“Hiss
 He is King?”
Everyone’s pupils shrank, and they all sucked in a breath of cold air, their faces full of shock.
“I took King hostage?”
Shortblade Marauder’s teeth chattered, his body trembling. He was suddenly overwhelmed by the urge to pee. The hand holding the nail cutter was shaking as if he had Parkinson’s.
God, it seems that I had done something awesome right before I died!
I took hostage the strongest man in the world—King!
