Nonetheless, he understood that Hode was clearly skilled. No ordinary person could match that speed. Yet, even so, Kingpin didn't think Hode was his match.
While he pondered this, Hode suddenly struck.
His movements were like lightning, so fast that they were only a blur.
Bang!
"Ugh!"
At that crucial moment, Kingpin quickly raised his arms to block, but the immense force behind Hode's strike left him wide-eyed in shock.
What... what kind of power is this?!
Before he could process what was happening, he was sent flying back by the tremendous force.
As he crashed into the wall, his whole body became red as his blood surged.
"This... how is this possible?!"
"What kind of monster is he that he could send the boss flying?!"
"Can this even still be considered a human?!"
"…"
Kingpin's subordinates watched in disbelief. They had never seen their boss taken down in one move like that!
"As expected, your boss is going to lose," Gwen commented, unfazed, as this was Mr. Hode, after all! She was even more curious about why Mr. Hode was "playing" with her.
"You…"
Kingpin, feeling a ripping pain in his arms, looked at Hode in terror. The earlier force had already surpassed that of Ghost Spider! His instincts told him that Hode wasn't even using his full strength.
"Catch!"
Whoosh!
As soon as Hode's voice faded, his figure appeared right in front of them.
Whoosh!
With a sharp gust of wind, he kicked swiftly and fiercely toward Kingpin's chest.
Kingpin's pupils instantly narrowed to pinpoints as he gritted his teeth and raised both hands.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
His attacks came like a rapid-fire barrage, as swift and fierce as a downpour of shadows.
There was not a moment's chance to breathe.
In less than a second, Kingpin felt a searing pain in his arms, as if countless heavy hammers were relentlessly striking him.
But soon, his arms lost all sensation, and endless blood poured forth.
His bones were exposed to the air!
His arms were broken!
Thud!
Kingpin gasped for breath, weakly collapsing to the ground.
"I… I lost."
He had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.
This was no longer a battle; it could even be called a slaughter.
He hadn't even managed to touch the corner of Hode's clothing before he was defeated.
[Ding! You have successfully defeated Kingpin in a one-on-one duel!]
[Reward gained: Seriousness · One Punch!]
"To the victor go the spoils; losing means paying the price."
As Hode listened to the system's notification in his mind, he had no intention of sparing Kingpin.
He grasped Kingpin's head and slowly lifted him up.
To the victor go the spoils.
Moreover, Kingpin had murderous intent toward him.
At that moment, Kingpin's limbs hung limply, despite being utterly terrified.
His body simply wouldn't obey him.
"Mr. Hode, can you please not kill him?"
Just then, Gwen descended from the roof, releasing her web, and spoke up to intervene.
"What?"
Hode turned to Gwen with a look of surprise.
Isn't Gwen supposed to hate Kingpin?
Kingpin never expected that at this moment, it would be Ghost Spider pleading for his life.
Upon hearing this, he let out a sigh of relief; as long as he could live, there was definitely a chance to return!
But Gwen's next words astonished Hode.
