Buzz—!
Tatsumaki's violent Psychokinesis instantly smoothed out by an invisible yet irresistible force.
The people around looked at Han Sen's seemingly burning golden eyes, as if staring directly at an ancient monarch walking from the primordial era. Everyone instantly fell silent, and the entire hall suddenly became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths agape enough to fit an egg, and their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
That was…
"Terrible Tornado"!
The strongest esper, second only to the S-Class Hero!
The Hero Association's ultimate weapon!
A hot-tempered, legal loli who could twist a Dragon-level Weirdo into a pretzel!
She was… she was head-patted?
And she didn't even resist?!
Tatsumaki indeed did not resist.
She froze, her mind blank.
The warmth from her head and the familiar scent of male hormones seemed to drain all strength from her body.
Especially feeling the vast and boundless psychic fluctuations like a sea of stars from close proximity, while startling her, it surprisingly gave her a ridiculous sense of security.
"Still the same old saying, if you want to fight, I'm always ready."
A warm breath brushed her ear, and Han Sen's deep, magnetic voice clearly entered her ears.
"But, I have to finish my business first."
Tatsumaki's body trembled slightly, and her blank mind finally began to function again.
She suddenly looked up, a crimson blush appearing on her exquisite pretty face.
Well, it was mainly due to the shame of feeling fear, her expression was extremely complex.
It must be like this!
—Damn it, how could I be afraid of… this guy! Why won't my body obey me!
Tatsumaki, constantly building up her mental fortitude, subconsciously bit her tender lower lip, her pearly teeth almost drawing blood.
"Hmph…!"
Finally, she, filled with shame and anger, could only squeeze three words through her gritted teeth.
"I'll wait for you!"
After speaking, she sharply turned her head, as if to break free from the control of that large hand, only to find that the other party had already withdrawn it.
Like a sulking little beast, she hugged her arms across her chest and stomped angrily to the sofa Han Sen had sat on earlier, sitting down with a "thud."
With her movement, the boldly cut black slit long dress drew a breathtaking arc.
Revealing a section of smooth, jade-like, slender, straight long leg, forming a strong visual impact with the black skirt.
However, such a mature and sexy outfit, worn on her petite and delicate body like a twenty-eight-year-old girl, created a wonderful sense of contrasting beauty.
Especially at this moment, her two smooth long legs were crossed, and her toes were tapping the air impatiently due to anger.
With puffed-up, tender cheeks and emerald eyes that could kill, she glared intently at Han Sen's retreating back as he walked towards the elevator.
That appearance, rather than an S-Class Hero at the pinnacle of human combat power, was more like a tsundere girl throwing a tantrum with her boyfriend, waiting to be coaxed.
The Hero Association staff in the hall collectively turned to stone.
Their worldview was completely crushed and reshaped at this moment by that man's single head-patting action.
Having dealt with the tsundere in the lobby who looked like she wanted to kill him with her eyes, Han Sen took the elevator directly to the floor where the Hero Association Headquarters' high-level executives were located.
The quiet, high-speed elevator ascended rapidly, and after about ten seconds, the elevator doors opened, revealing a futuristic alloy corridor.
Under the bright white lights, the deserted corridor appeared even more quiet and solemn.
Compared to the chaos and noise of the lobby downstairs, it was so quiet here that one could hear their own heartbeat.
At this moment, a young and beautiful female secretary was already waiting at the door.
Upon seeing Han Sen, she lightly brushed her hair and smiled sweetly, respectfully leading him to an office.
"Mr. Han Sen, Mr. Sitch is already waiting for you."
Pushing open the heavy solid wood door, Han Sen saw one of the core figures of the Hero Association, the big-nosed executive Sitch.
Sitch was standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the slowly rebuilding ruins of City A outside the window, a hint of weariness and worry in his eyes.
Hearing the door open, he immediately turned around, a warm smile forced onto his face.
"Mr. Han Sen! Welcome! It's wonderful that you're considering joining us!"
After some pleasantries, Sitch thought Han Sen had finally been persuaded and accepted the Association's previous special invitation, his eyes filled with anticipation.
After all, with Han Sen's displayed strength and excellent appearance comparable to a top idol.
(Sweet Mask: Indeed, it is I.)
His joining would be nothing short of a shot in the arm for the currently demoralized Hero Association!
However, Han Sen merely smiled and shook his head.
Sitch's smile stiffened, and the light in his eyes visibly dimmed. He sighed, disappointment evident on his face.
Just as the atmosphere in the office fell into a slight awkwardness, Han Sen took out a letter from his pocket and placed it on the desk in front of Sitch.
"I came here this time, first, to deliver a letter of recommendation."
Han Sen's voice pulled Sitch back from his disappointment.
"King and I jointly recommend a powerful Hero, one that starts at S-Class. Is the Hero Association interested?"
Sitch was suddenly stunned, his gaze falling on the ordinary-looking letter, his expression instantly changing.
King!
And Han Sen!
The Association's strongest man on Earth, and a mysterious powerhouse with unfathomable strength!
A Hero jointly recommended by the two of them?
And, it specified starting at S-Class?
(Han Sen: The Hero Association only goes up to S-Class, so there's no other way.)
This was no longer a matter of mere importance!
"Since it's jointly recommended by King-san and Mr. Han Sen, of course, there's no problem!"
Sitch immediately said seriously, the weariness on his face swept away, replaced by a high degree of seriousness and excitement.
"The doors of the Hero Association are always open to any Hero who is committed to fighting Monster disasters and upholding justice! Of course, we are interested!"
Han Sen nodded, satisfied with his reaction.
"Then arrange a special recruitment assessment," he added, "Oh, and let's skip the troublesome written test. His strength, a physical test will be enough to explain everything. Contact information is attached to the recommendation letter."
"This…" A hint of difficulty appeared on Sitch's face.
The Hero Association had its regulations, and while the written test was rigid, it was still a necessary procedure…
However, just as he was about to explain, Han Sen had already changed the subject.
"Next is the second matter…"
Sitch originally wanted to stick to the principle, but upon hearing Han Sen's next words, he immediately had no mind to pay attention to these minor procedural matters.
"Another Hero organization contacted me, named 'NEO. HEROES'."
Han Sen's tone was calm, but his words were like a bombshell, exploding in Sitch's mind.
"This organization has some problems…"
Sitch's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpricks, his body instinctively leaning forward, his hands braced on the desk, his face full of shock and solemnity.
"NEO. HEROES?!"
