Chapter 9: Mysterious Child(3)

The evening breeze blew against the wind, disturbing the leaves that swayed with it. Footsteps were heard in the unusually quiet forest, and three figures appeared. One looked ragged and beaten, with both arms gone, while the other two were fine.

Saitama led the way this time, they were almost at the end of the forest, so he did not have any trouble finding their way. His disciple followed behind him, his face was as usual, but with a hint of disappointment lingering around him. After his fight with the cyborg gorilla from earlier, he had interrogated him.

...

Earlier, the gorilla released information about their organizations and intentions. Apparently, they were searching for an escaped subject, and it turns out, this subject was the small girl sitting on Saitama's shoulders, who rested her head against Saitama's and idly played with her hair. The gorilla, now introduced himself as Armored Gorilla, shivered in fear as he remembered what the harmless-looking child in front of him did to his comrades.

She was merciless, she killed and slaughtered them greedily, this made him remember Carnage Kabuto, the ultimate creation of the House of Evolution. He is the epitome of human suffering, he was a psychopath whose strength and power increase when he enters Carnage Mode. During this period of time, he will not stop until exactly one week has passed.

Armored Gorilla explained everything he knew, he noticed the child looking at him from time to time, staring dangerously... It sent shivers down his spine, knowing that this child could possibly match Carnage Kabuto in terms of power.

Though, this makes him wonder even more as to how the child has not yet killed the person whose shoulder she was riding on. He has never seen the child interact with anyone without having the urge to pierce them with her blood tendrils. It was simply unbelievable.

Armored Gorilla has completely given up on survival, experiencing such a situation was too much for him. He has only gone out of the House of Evolution a few times. Yet, he never encountered a situation where he is forced to fight. Minutes passed and soon, an hour went by.

The three of them had already disappeared from Armored Gorilla's sight, good, this was the perfect chance for him to inform the higher-ups of his findings. His head opened revealing a signal of some kind. It rotated around a few times, then he suddenly retracted it when he noticed someone coming back.

"Question. Was it you who destroyed an entire village four years ago?" Genos said menacingly as he pointed his glowing hand towards Armored Gorilla. "H-how could it be?! I've been inside the House of Evolution my entire life, rarely do I even have the chance to come out like this..." He dejectedly said.

"Then, does this 'House of Evlotution' you speak of have any other cyborgs like you? If not, then do you perhaps know other cybernetic beings?"

"N-no, I am the only artificially created being inside of the House of Evolution that is over 80% part cybernetic. Doctor Genus have never made a second one nor does he plan to do so." Armored Gorilla said, sweat running down his head. This whole situation nerved him, never had he encountered such fearsome opponents.

Genos dropped his raised arm and said, "Then, inform the House of Evolution that my master and I shall come and destroy this evil organization." He turned around and followed behind Saitama, who was already hundreds of meters away.

...

"Sensei, it seems we have someone targeting our backs. I've searched the HA's database and found out that the 'House of Evolution' has been on their watch list for a while now." Genos informed his master, who did not even bother listening to his disciple's words. Genos expected as much and changed the subject. "Therefore, once we finish this mission I shall prepare high-quality wagyu been as a celebration." He smirked, the mentioning of high-quality beef always captures his master's attention.
