Kaito Ren raised an eyebrow, put down his chopsticks, and prepared to stand. But Saitama was faster, already at the entrance.
"I don't care who you are, apologize to my teacher!"
Saitama glared coldly at the uninvited guests. Kaito Ren was the person he respected most. He wouldn't allow anyone to insult his teacher in front of him.
"Apologize?"
Outside, the muscular Back-Brawler Wolf smirked strangely.
"Haha, Big Bro, is this kid crazy? He wants us to apologize?!"
"Brat, do you know who we are?! We're from the Back-Brawler Gang! Scram before we deal with you too!"
Back-Brawler Cheetah's cold gaze swept over Saitama. A cruel smile played on his rough face.
"I don't care if you're the Back-Brawler Gang or whatever. You insulted my teacher, so you apologize!"
Saitama remained unmoved.
"Brat, you asked for this!"
Back-Brawler Cheetah, enraged that Saitama ignored him, attacked without warning, aiming a punch at Saitama's face. His punch packed immense power; it could shatter walls, let alone a young man's face. One punch would kill or severely injure him.
Back-Brawler Wolf smirked, ready to watch the show. Anyone who dared to challenge the Back-Brawler Gang needed a lesson.
Inside, Kaito Ren, seeing the situation, was about to intervene. But seeing Saitama's serious expression, he changed his mind. If this was what Saitama wanted, he'd wait. Besides… the frog legs were getting overcooked.
Saitama didn't retreat; he countered with a punch. Two punches, one large and one small, one black and one red, clashed.
The smugness on Back-Brawler Cheetah's face quickly turned to shock and pain. His powerful punch was not only blocked but also caused excruciating pain in his fist, which he prided himself on being harder than stone.
One blow! Just one blow! His right wrist was broken.
Back-Brawler Wolf watched in shock as his brother flew backward, crashing through a wall and falling to the ground, his fate unknown.
"Damn you! What did you do to my brother?!"
Back-Brawler Wolf gritted his teeth, suppressing his fear.
"Apologize!"
Saitama's expression was cold.
"In your dreams! You're ruthless, kid! You'll pay for this! You'll learn what the Back-Brawler Gang is capable of!"
Back-Brawler Wolf threw his hand to the ground, creating a smoke screen that obscured Saitama's vision. He jumped from the second floor, carrying his unconscious brother, and fled, leaving a final threat.
Saitama was about to chase them, but Kaito Ren stopped him.
"The meat will get tough if you don't eat it now."
Initially, hearing about the Back-Brawler Gang, Kaito Ren had hoped to meet Back-Brawler Tiger and Back-Brawler Black Hole. But these were unknown thugs. He lost interest. Fighting was less appealing than hot pot.
"Yes."
Saitama, heeding his teacher's words, returned and joined him for dinner.
"Teacher, who were those guys? Were they your enemies?"
Saitama asked curiously.
"I don't know them."
Kaito Ren was equally puzzled. He'd only been in the One Punch Man world for two days, fighting monsters. He hadn't had time to make enemies with the Back-Brawler Gang.
Meanwhile…
Back-Brawler Wolf brought Back-Brawler Cheetah back to headquarters.
"What happened?!"
Back-Brawler Tiger, furiously lifting weights, frowned at the sight of his injured brother.
"Big Bro Back-Brawler Tiger, it was that Kaito Ren kid! You must avenge Big Bro Back-Brawler Cheetah!"
Back-Brawler Wolf handed his brother to a comrade, his voice choked with tears.
"Kaito Ren?! He did this?!"
Back-Brawler Tiger's face darkened.
"No, Big Bro Back-Brawler Cheetah and I went there. Kaito Ren was too scared to show himself. It was his hired expert who attacked. Big Bro Cheetah was unprepared, so he was ambushed!"
"And… and that Kaito Ren kid said… that the Back-Brawler Gang should be renamed the 'Sissy Gang' because they're all cowards, none of them can fight."
Back-Brawler Wolf, while defending himself and his brother, also slandered Kaito Ren.
"He's asking for death!"
Back-Brawler Tiger's face was livid. He'd only planned to warn Kaito Ren to give up on becoming Asaka Hoko's bodyguard, a position the Back-Brawler Gang coveted. But now…
Since Kaito Ren wanted to die, he'd grant his wish!
He led his gang towards Kaito Ren and Saitama's apartment.
At the Asaka mansion…
Asaka Hoko was in her room, wondering about Kaito Ren's expression when they next met. A hurried footstep interrupted her thoughts.
"Miss! The Back-Brawler Gang is heading towards Mr. Kaito Ren's place!"
The housekeeper, knowing her mistress's feelings for Kaito Ren, rushed to inform her.
"What?!"
Asaka Hoko's face paled. She hadn't expected this.
"Aunt Mei, get the car ready! I'm going out!"
Asaka Hoko felt a sudden unease. While Kaito Ren could handle monsters, the Back-Brawler Gang had many monster-fighting members, which is why they were the Asaka family's bodyguards. If Kaito Ren fought them…
The consequences were unimaginable.
Kaito Ren, please be safe!
All Asaka Hoko could do was pray silently.
Meanwhile…
Back-Brawler Tiger and his gang arrived at Kaito Ren and Saitama's apartment.
