I Quit Being a Hero

Chapter 20

"There are no external injuries, but most of them are internal injuries."

The short old granny said as she gave a deep chirp to the sleeping boy on the bed. "Well, he's fine now. Although he's fine now, he still needs to rest. After all, he vomited a lot of blood."

"Yes, I'll tell him to take care of himself." Facing such a fiery situation, what could he do?

G Tada Tsunayoshi was still smiling appropriately.

"Then... it seems that you want to be alone with this child." The recovery girl jumped off the chair and walked towards the door.

G Tada Tsunayoshi waved his little arm. "I'll leave the time to you. I'll come back after lunch."

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi smiled gratefully at the recovery girl's thoughtfulness.

He stood in place and stared at the sleeping Anzawa from afar. His gaze was distant and contained a bit of emotion.

Finally.?

G Tada Tsunayoshi walked to the bed and looked down at the slightly tender face that was calm after sleeping.

He pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and slowly reached out his hand. His fingertips gently stroked Anzawa's eyebrows.

... Sure enough.

The power in Anzawa's body had merged very well with his body.

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi still remembered Anzawa's performance at the Sports Festival at the "Amagi Mansion".

It was undeniable that Anzawa's body had overwhelming power. However, in the first round, he could clearly see that Anzawa's death aura fire was not flowing smoothly. It was like a wine bottle with a cork.

But now... after inheriting and receiving recognition, the wine bottle's cork had disappeared. The power flowed smoothly as if it was born as a part of Anzawa's body.

But then again...?

G Tada Tsunayoshi revealed a somewhat helpless smile. The First Generation was too generous, wasn't it?

They actually forcibly broke through the shackles and woke up from a deep sleep just to give their inheritance of "Penglie" to Anzawa. It was really...

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi's smile suddenly froze.

He was wrong. The First Generation was not the kind of people who would stubbornly do things their own way. The reason why they broke through the shackles in such an unyielding manner and even hurt Anzawa as the price was probably because they could not compromise or make concessions.

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi hooked the rope around Anzawa's neck with his finger. He closed his eyes and held Penglie's Ring to feel something. As time passed, his expression became more and more solemn.

The consciousness that belonged to the First Generation in the ring was so weak that it could barely be sensed …

Why?

What kind of reason would make the First Generation take such a huge risk?

"Yo, Mr. X." The small figure pushed open the door of the infirmary with his front paws and waved at the figure with his back facing him.

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi turned his head and hid the seriousness in the depths of his brown eyes. He showed a gentle smile to the person who came. "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble, Mr. Nenzin."

"Ma, don't mind it."

Nenzin closed the door of the infirmary and climbed onto a chair to sit down. "Taking care of a friend's child is also part of my responsibility."

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi was stunned, then the smile on his lips deepened. "Then I won't be polite anymore."

"Mhmm, you don't have to be polite at all."

Nenzin nodded with a considerate look. "Ah, ah — although it doesn't matter, the 'Xiongying Uproar' caused by King Ze has already become the front page of all major websites. After all, the school's teaching buildings are all crooked.

Sigh … after the USJ incident, although the Sports Festival expressed their determination to 'Xiongying' to the public, but now … "

The person opposite him couldn't stop nagging at all.

G Tada Tsunayoshi couldn't take it anymore. His smiling face faintly started to twitch because of too much force …

"… I'm really sorry."

G Tada Tsunayoshi heard his own voice trembling.

"Ma, I already said not to mind it."

Nenzin waved his small hand. His "I understand, I understand" look was really asking for a beating. But soon, his eyes focused on the sleeping Anzawa worriedly. "King Ze … what happened?"

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi pursed his lips and smiled. "It's just a small problem, but it doesn't matter anymore."

Nenzin's eyes moved up and looked at the reassuring smile on Mr. Nenzin's face.

G Tada Tsunayoshi said, "I understand, Mr. X, you have your own concerns, so it doesn't matter if you don't tell the truth. But … I said before, taking care of a friend's child is also part of my responsibility."

"…?"

G Tada Tsunayoshi expressed his attitude with silence.

Nenzin was slightly stunned and sighed helplessly.

He really didn't know what else to say to find out more information. After all … where did he look?

G Tada Tsunayoshi moved his body away.

The sun plated a layer of golden light on the young man. Even if the solemn expression stained his face, it still made the young man look incomparably warm.

The young man maintained his smile from beginning to end, gentle and kind …

This should have been a very gentle scene, but … it looked so cruel.

Was he protecting?

Was he protecting this young man who was destined to have a rough fate?

Even if the road ahead was incomparably difficult, even if there was no exit, he was still protecting?

But it made sense. If he didn't feel the other party's desire to protect King Ze, he wouldn't have arranged for him to become a teacher at "Xiongying" without informing Shuhei.

"I understand."

Nenzin lowered his head. "I won't ask any more questions, but please understand. As Shuhei's friend, I'm just as worried about King Ze as you are."

It was a rainy night when Anzawa was six years old. Shuhei Amagi braved the rain to come, and the place where he stood was covered with rain in just a short time.

"Help me … Nenzin, help me … save my child …"

It was a face that was mixed with tears and rain … a face that was filled with despair.

Nenzin still couldn't forget that rainy night ten years ago, Shuhei Amagi, the proud man, appeared in front of him in a sorry state.

"I followed your instructions and didn't inform Shuhei about King Ze's current situation."

"Thank you."

G Tada Tsunayoshi sincerely thanked him.

"Sigh …" Nenzin let out a long sigh. "But even if I didn't tell him, he would have found out soon. After all, the news has already spread, and even the reporters have gathered at the school gate."

"I understand."

G Tada Tsunayoshi said he understood, and he really did. He just wanted to buy as much time as possible. He had some questions that he couldn't ask Shuhei Amagi directly. "Mr. Nenzin, it may be rude to ask this, but please tell me the truth. Have you done anything to Anzawa's memory?"

"Oh?

You've already noticed? "

Nenzin was slightly surprised. Yes, slightly. After all, from the moment he saw this person, he had a feeling that this person was omnipotent.

"Noticed?

No, it's just the result of an investigation. "

G Tada Tsunayoshi reached out and touched Anzawa's forehead. After confirming that Anzawa was still asleep, he said, "The investigation showed that Anzawa's mother passed away due to postpartum hemorrhage.

But … this is just a superficial result that can't stand up to scrutiny and detailed investigation. "

"…" Nenzin closed his eyes and smiled.

He really lost. Apart from the details, Mr. X had investigated King Ze so thoroughly. It seemed that he could only let his friend down. "King Ze … is not Shuhei's biological son."

"Not his biological son?"

G Tada Tsunayoshi pondered for a moment. "But there should be some kind of connection between them, right?"

"From the looks of it, Mr. X is not only good at investigation, but also has a very accurate intuition."

Nenzin rubbed his head with his front paw and continued, "But King Ze is Shuhei's adopted child. There's no doubt about that. It's just that he adopted his own nephew."

Nephew?

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi's doubts were answered. At first, he vaguely felt that the connection between Shuhei Amagi and Anzawa was weak, but there was a definite connection. He had thought that it was achieved through some means.

"Mr. X should have found out as well, right?

Shuhei became a hero's assistant early on because of his' personality. 'During a rescue mission, the hero that Shuhei partnered with was killed in order to save him from being attacked by thugs. That hero was Shuhei's sister's husband. "

"Shuhei's sister was unable to accept her husband's death. One day, she was driving out in a daze and got into a car accident. King Ze, who was only three years old at the time, became an orphan and was then adopted by Shuhei."

"And then?

If that's all, why tamper with Anzawa's memory? "

G Tada Tsunayoshi frowned in confusion.

"… Because King Ze's mind matured unusually early, there are many cases of orphans avenging their parents in the hero world. Shuhei hoped that King Ze could live a happy and peaceful life before becoming a professional hero. Of course, this is only one aspect.

More importantly, Shuhei didn't want King Ze to hate him. After all, to a certain extent, he was the culprit who killed King Ze's parents. "

Nenzin said as he looked at Anzawa on the bed. "So, Shuhei asked me to find someone who can 'modify memories' outside the country and modify King Ze's memories before the age of three."

'Modify memories'?

No, all 'personalities' related to control and mental power should be ineffective on Anzawa.

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi frowned tightly, and the unclear events gradually formed in his mind. "Excuse me, what is the name of the person who can 'modify memories'?"

"Hmm?"

Nenzin felt strange, but still answered, "I don't know the name. I also contacted him through a friend. I only remember that the man had a very strange outfit, especially the mask on his face …"

"Mask?"

G Tada Tsunayoshi was shocked and couldn't help but interrupt Nenzin's words. He looked at Nenzin with longing eyes for an answer, and asked carefully and hesitantly, "Checkers?"

Nenzin's eyes were slightly surprised. "How did Mr. X know?"

Sure enough … It really was Gacaphis!

What was that guy's purpose?

What was the purpose of not hesitating to modify Anzawa's memories to achieve?

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi suddenly felt very cold. Even with the sunlight seeping in through the window, he didn't feel the slightest bit of warmth. His body was still terrifyingly cold.

Even if he found a clue, he still couldn't find the source of a carefully crafted and interlocked scam …

?

G Tada Tsunayoshi felt like he was walking in a maze, surrounded by a thick fog that covered his eyes. He couldn't see the end, and he couldn't find the exit.

Bang!

The infirmary's door was violently pushed open from the outside. A man stood at the door, panting heavily. His face was covered in sweat, and even his white shirt was soaked in sweat.

Shuhei Amagi stared at the brown-haired young man with a gaze as sharp as a blade. It was as if he wanted to swallow the man's bones and blood into his stomach. "Why?

Why did Anzawa suddenly … Why?

Why is it that once you appear, I can no longer 'foresee' Anze's matters?! "

Why does your appearance cause my child so much pain?!

Why?! "

In the face of questioning,?

G Tada Tsunayoshi couldn't say anything to defend himself.

After all …
