[This Chapter Is Sponsored by Cade Atkinson! Everyone, please thank him in the comment!]

"You might not believe this if I say it..."

After hearing Saitama's question, Fang Mo shrugged as well: "But your house is about to explode."

"What?"

Saitama looked utterly perplexed after hearing this.

"No, that's not right!"

Different from Saitama, Genos seemed to have vaguely realized something, suddenly stood up, and exclaimed, "Detected a high-speed approaching reaction... something is coming!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the ceiling exploded with a loud bang.

Amidst a cloud of dust, a figure jumped down from above.

This creature looked somewhat like a humanoid mantis, covered with an exoskeleton, and its hands had been transformed into sharp mantis blades. It burst onto the scene with a harsh laugh, "Hehehe, my name is..."

However, before it could finish.

A fist came flying straight at its face.

The mantis monster didn't even have time to react before the fist brutally struck its face.

An irresistible force came crashing down, and with a snap, the exoskeleton on its face was forcibly pierced by the fist. Then, the force violently tore its head from its neck, and the entire head flew like a lump of meat toward a nearby wall.

With a squelch, it stuck to the wall.

Two eyeballs burst out from it, first hitting the nearby table, then bouncing a few times, and finally rolling to a stop on the floor.

"Wow, a one-shot kill by Bald Monkey."

Seeing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but make a comment from the side.

"My house!"

At this moment, Saitama looked visibly distressed. First, he glanced at the large hole in the ceiling, then at the mushy lump of flesh on the wall: "How am I supposed to fix this?"

"Are you already struggling with this?"

Hearing this, Fang Mo smiled, then pointed outside the window: "Just a reminder, there are still several monsters outside waiting to tear down your house."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Saitama immediately became anxious: "It can't be destroyed any further, I'm almost unable to live here, okay?"

"Master, leave the enemies outside to me..." Genos began to say, probably trying to show off in front of the other.

But before he could finish.

Saitama had already vanished.

By the time Genos reached the window, he saw Saitama charging out, with two monsters stuck upside down in the ground not far away, only their lower halves visible, likely beyond saving.

"Damn it, they even tore down my ceiling..."

Meanwhile, Saitama still stood there, his face filled with misery, seemingly harboring deep resentment against these room-destroying monsters.

"You know, the apartment you live in is too rundown?"

Hearing Saitama's statement, Fang Mo slowly walked over from a distance: "You're so powerful, at least try to improve your living standards a bit. If I had your strength, I'd be living in the White House tomorrow."

"I also want to improve my living standards."

Saitama helplessly held his forehead: "But I don't have a steady job right now, nor any money..."

"Why don't you try making a diamond with your bare hands?" Fang Mo thought for a moment and said: "I remember there was something on the internet about how strong grip can turn coal into diamonds, why don't you give it a try?"

"That must be a joke."

However, Saitama didn't seem to take it to heart and casually dismissed it.

Seeing Saitama's attitude, the corner of Fang Mo's eye twitched involuntarily, only to think that this guy really was laid-back, such characters only existed in anime adaptations.

"Forget it, I'll send you a new villa later."

Thinking this, Fang Mo also sighed: "But I'll have to wait until I have time to find a jewelry store, I can't do it right now, I also don't have any cash on me."

"Really?"

Hearing Fang Mo say this, Saitama looked at him curiously: "Are you very wealthy?"

"Do you know how much my Pig Man Tower produces?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Mo instantly laughed, not waiting for Saitama to speak, he started explaining on his own: "It can produce dozens of sets of gold nuggets in half an hour, which roughly translates to about fifteen tons of gold per minute. There was once a na?ve director who wanted to work for me, trying to spend all my money to put me in a difficult position."

At this point, Fang Mo burst out laughing: "Hilarious, it's impossible to spend it all..."

"Oh, that sounds pretty impressive."

After listening, Saitama also nodded, somewhat perplexed. He clearly did not understand things like the "Pig Man Tower," but he somehow felt that the other party was speaking the truth.

"Then you…"

Saitama paused to think, preparing to say something.

But just as he opened his mouth, a black claw suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbing his ankle and pulling him down forcefully.

With a loud bang, Saitama's entire body was embedded into the cement ground.

Only his bald head remained visible.

"…Huh?"

Saitama seemed a bit stunned, blinking blankly as his head was stuck in the cement.

"Sensei!"

Genos, unaware of how formidable Saitama could be, became somewhat nervous upon witnessing this scene. He immediately ran over to assist, but in the next moment, the building beside them exploded, and a giant clad in metal armor emerged.

"There is a high energy response."

The iron giant spoke in a terse tone: "You, are you also a mechanical body?"

"Move aside."

Genos frowned as the other blocked his path.

"The target is not you," said the iron giant before suddenly launching an attack. His massive body charged towards Genos like a heavy truck: "You're in the way! I'll deal with you first!"

"The target isn't me?"

Upon hearing this, Genos quickly realized: "Could it be Master Saitama…?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

At that moment, laughter suddenly echoed from nearby.

Turning his head, Genos saw a giant lion monster approaching. The creature had a human body and a lion's head, wrapped in thick chains, exuding a powerful aura, starkly different from the lesser monsters before.

"The doctor sent us to capture a stupid-looking bald guy."

As the lion monster approached, laughing wildly, he said, "Though I haven't made my move yet, the Earth Dragon should have already dragged that guy underground, right?"

"Of course."

As they spoke, something resembling a mole suddenly emerged from the ground.

The mole monster let out a sharp, mocking laugh, then pointed behind him without a glance and said smugly, "After all, if you caused a commotion, it might tear him apart, and the doctor would definitely be angry, so I trapped him underground where he can only sit and wait for death."

"Ha ha ha, well done Earth Dragon!"

The lion monster seemed very pleased, nodding his head, then began to walk forward with the chains from his body: "Let's bring him to the doctor… Huh!?"

However, he had only walked halfway when he suddenly froze as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong?"

The mole monster, seeing the lion monster freeze, asked in confusion, "Hurry up and tie that guy up."

"No, Earth Dragon, wait a moment…"

The lion monster frowned deeply: "Why are there two bald heads on the ground?"

"…Huh?"

The mole monster, or Earth Dragon, felt confused upon hearing this; he had only dragged one bald head down. Why would he ask such a question?

With that thought, Earth Dragon also turned to look behind him.

And just like that, he too was stunned.

Not far behind him, on the cement ground, there were indeed two shiny bald heads. The one on the left had dead fish eyes and was even yawning, clearly the guy he had just pulled down.

As for the one on the right…

Somehow, Earth Dragon thought she looked like a woman.

"What's going on here?"

Truly baffled now, Earth Dragon scratched his head with his claw, unable to fathom: "Where did this right-side person come from?"

Just then, a mischievous voice suddenly sounded.

"Of course, she sprouted from the ground."

Hearing this, both the lion and mole monsters looked over, only to find Fang Mo leaning against a railing, grinning as if watching a play.

"And who are you?"

Upon seeing the situation, the lion monster frowned and said, "Did you cause this trouble?"

"Hey, how can this be called causing trouble?" Fang Mo waved his hand dismissively as he responded, "The earth is the mother that nurtures all things. There's an old saying from my hometown: 'You reap what you sow'... So if you just planted a bald head into the ground, isn't it normal for another bald head to sprout up?"

"…Huh?"

Hearing Fang Mo's explanation, the two monsters seemed stunned as well.

They felt an inexplicable sense of dissonance but didn't know where to start their complaints, especially since they were all animal-modified beings with not very high intelligence.

Eventually, the lion monster didn't bother to think anymore and roared angrily, "You bastard, you must be playing us, right?"

"I'm not playing you at all; I'm telling the truth."

Fang Mo declared earnestly, "What you just planted was the greatest hero in the world, and now this bald head has sprouted and grown into another greatest hero. What's the problem with that?"

"What an interesting theory."

Before the lion monster could react, Saitama, who was buried in the ground, couldn't help but speak. He turned to the bald man next to him and greeted, "Hi, my name is Saitama, a hero for fun."

"Hello, Saitama."

The other bald man nodded politely, "You can call me Ancient One, the former Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj."

Indeed, the one buried in the ground was the Ancient One.

The notion of a bald head undergoing cell division in the ground was clearly false, and only these monsters could believe it. The truth was Fang Mo took the opportunity while no one was looking to pull the Ancient One out of a sword and stuff her into the ground.

Of course, even the Ancient One herself was quite bewildered.

After all, she had always been inside a sword with little awareness of the outside world. Suddenly, she found herself buried in the ground with monsters howling and shouting around her, so she kept silent and quietly observed her surroundings until Saitama greeted her.

"Hey, don't be mad."

At this moment, Fang Mo had a look of mischief, unconcerned even as the lion monster grew irritable, "Actually, I'll tell you a secret, I am the guardian deity of this land."

"…Huh?"

Upon hearing this, the lion monster's eyebrows shot up, clearly disbelieving.

"Anything that falls into the soil, I can feel it."

Fang Mo chuckled, then pointed at the two shining bald heads on the ground: "So the question is, did you drop this physically adept male bald head, or this magically adept female bald head?"

"Ha… hahaha… hahahaha…"

However, after hearing Fang Mo's words, the lion monster suddenly bowed its head and laughed.

"Okay, it seems you won't speak properly."

The lion monster probably felt that Fang Mo was continuously mocking him, and now he was truly enraged. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his fingernails suddenly elongated into dagger-like blades, "If that's the case, let me show you the power of the Beast King first!"

"Lion Slash!"

The lion monster roared furiously and then swiped his hand through the air in front of him.

However, facing the lion monster's murderous attack, Fang Mo didn't even flinch; he suddenly turned his head towards Saitama and shouted, "Hey, Saitama."

"What?"

Saitama yawned lazily, "The soil here is strangely comfortable, I was almost asleep…"

"This is your home."

Fang Mo smiled and pointed behind him.

At that moment, the lion monster had already swung his claw, and several blade-like gusts flew from his nails towards Fang Mo.

"!!!"

Seeing this, Saitama's eyes widened.

In the next second, with a loud bang, Saitama instantly burst out of the ground and charged towards the lion monster like lightning, "Consecutive Normal Punches!"

Without any fancy movements.

Everyone could only vaguely sense Saitama's hand blurring for a moment.

In the next instant, countless squelching and cracking sounds emanated from the lion monster's body, which exploded into a mess, scattering everywhere.

During the attack on the lion monster, the Ancient One also broke free from the ground.

"So, about that…"

Ancient One calmly dusted off her clothes, then looked up at Fang Mo, "Aren't you going to explain the situation now?"
