[MHCISQD] Chapter 395: A Deal

*BOOM!!!*

A burst of fire plummeted from the sky, creating a massive crater upon impact.

Renault followed suit and landed directly within the crater.

In the very center, Kamen Rider Four lay contorted on the ground, with thin wires and electrical sparks emanating from various parts of its body.

Indeed, it was a robot.

*Kzzt... Kzzt...*

Unable to move on the ground, Kamen Rider Four twisted its neck to look at Renault.

"You... are strong, just as I expected, but I won't lose." Kamen Rider Four suddenly spoke, its compound eyes flickering in a manner completely different from before, and a deep, aged voice emerged. "Renault, I didn't expect you to defeat Kamen Rider Four so quickly."

"Who are you?"

Not only Renault but the others who had arrived behind him wore serious expressions as they looked at Kamen Rider Four.

"You can call me the Great Leader."

"Shocker's Great Leader?"

"Yes, the one and only."

Renault frowned at Kamen Rider Four. "So, it was you who led the attack to free All For One today, right?"

"Exactly. It was us. Surprised, aren't you? But that's not all. Don't think that defeating our Kamen Rider Four will secure your peace. Today, you've provided me with excellent combat data. In the future, I will create an even stronger Kamen Rider Four to defeat you. We'll meet again."

As soon as Kamen Rider Four finished speaking, its body emitted various short-circuiting sounds, and it burst into flames.

'Combat data?'

Renault understood; this Kamen Rider Four was probably not a complete version but a prototype designed to collect combat data from him and others. They planned to use this data to create a Rider capable of defeating everyone in the future.

Renault wasn't sure if they would succeed, but it was definitely a hidden threat.

He waved his hand, dispersing the flames engulfing Kamen Rider Four. However, in just a few seconds of burning, it had turned into ashes. It seemed Shocker wouldn't give them a chance to investigate.

Renault let out a sigh, surveying his surroundings.

Several buildings were visibly damaged, and two had even collapsed. The ground was pockmarked and scarred, a scene of devastation.

Although the battle didn't last long, the destruction it caused was no less than the previous battle of Kamino.

All Might had already undone the Rider's transformation and approached Renault, holding a phone. "If you're okay, how about going somewhere with me later?"

"Where to?"

"The Hero Public Safety Commission."

Renault nodded upon hearing this. "Regarding Deika City, right?"

"Exactly." All Might sighed, looking at Renault. "Why didn't you inform me about it earlier? If they..."

"Don't worry." Renault interrupted All Might. "I'll be fine."

"I'm going too." At that moment, Yuriko stood beside Renault. "I'll go with you."

"...Alright, let's go together."

While others remained at the scene to clean up the aftermath, All Might left the scene directly in a vehicle provided by the committee, taking Renault and Yuriko with him.

Hado watched this scene unfold. Since arriving here, she hadn't had a chance to say a word to Renault, and now he was leaving. Judging by All Might's expression, it probably wasn't good news. This made Hado worry.

But there was nothing she could do at the moment. After thinking it over, she picked up her phone and dialed Yaoyorozu's number.

In the evening, a car stopped in front of Renault's house. Renault and Yuriko got out of the car. After bidding farewell to All Might inside the vehicle, they entered the house.

Inside the house, Mikoto and Mikumo, and even Yaoyorozu, were present. When they saw the two of them return, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you two okay? I heard you left the scene with All Might and went to the committee's location." Yaoyorozu asked with concern as she approached Renault.

Initially, when she received Hado's call, she wasn't too worried. But soon, she remembered the incident in Deika City. If the committee found out about it, even if their intentions were good, Yaoyorozu couldn't guarantee that Renault wouldn't face consequences.

So, she used her connections to track Renault and Yuriko's location and came to his house to wait.

Fortunately, they returned safely.

"Don't worry, it was just a deal with the committee." Renault replied.

"A deal?" Yaoyorozu inquired.

Renault nodded, sat down on the sofa, and stretched comfortably. "In the future, we'll help them with two difficult missions that can't be refused."

Mikoto and Mikumo didn't have strong opinions, but Yaoyorozu expressed her dissatisfaction. "They dared to make such a demand? Why did you agree? What if they send you to a life-threatening place?"

"Relax!" Renault reassured, ruffling Yaoyorozu's hair. "With my current strength, how could there be a place where I'm in mortal danger? Besides, this deal will only take effect after I graduate and become a Pro Hero. Right now, I have nothing to worry about. And by that time, I believe my strength will be even greater, so there's no need to worry."

Yuriko chimed in with a cold tone, saying, "If those guys dare to make any unreasonable demands, just reject them. Who fear who? Their abilities aren't that impressive after all; they simply wield some authority."

Although Renault didn't say it, Yuriko, who was present at the scene, knew. The so-called two missions were actually one for each of them. However, Renault took it upon himself to handle both.

At the time, Renault had held Yuriko back when she wanted to share the burden, and she silently noted this, hoping those guys wouldn't make any unreasonable demands.

After all, she wasn't a pushover.

Seeing everyone's emotions fluctuating, Renault said, "Alright, enough of this heavy topic. Is there any food at home? Yuriko and I haven't eaten yet."

"Yes! There's curry at home. I'll heat it up." Mikumo immediately got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

As they waited, Renault turned on the television, which was broadcasting the day's battle situation. Shocker Organization had now become officially known to everyone.
