Chapter 39: Joker the Trump Card
Thank you very much to Konrule for becoming a patron!
------------------
To be honest, Renault had never seen a scene of a gang meeting for a deal and found it quite novel. But as he continued to watch, he felt that although it was a live version, it wasn't as interesting as it was in the movies. Firstly, the atmosphere wasn't as imposing as it was in the movies, and secondly, these people didn't look that great.
'A bit disappointed,' he thought to himself.
Suddenly, a voice appeared, and everyone involved in the transaction became alert.
"Who's there?" They all picked up their weapons and looked around.
"Here, you bunch of losers." As he spoke, Renault jumped down from the ceiling and appeared in front of everyone.
"Good evening, folks. Sorry for interrupting your little activity."
"Who are you?" The first leader, who had brought the drugs, looked at the armor-clad person in front of him, his expression wary.
"Me? You can call me Joker."
"Joker? The clown?"
"No, the Trump Card."
Wagging his fingers, an electronic voice came out from under the mask, "Your luck has run out starting today. From now on, spend the rest of your lives well in prison."
"Huh, you flamboyant guy, how dare you to say that? Come at me!"
On the other side, the henchman with a scar on his face waved his hand and the small fries under him immediately charged forward. Seeing this, the other group of people took the same action. The transaction was suspended, and the person who disturbed them had to be dealt with first. Renault was very happy to see this. He came here tonight for a real battle.
A muscular man with a bull's head mutation system Quirk, standing two meters tall, rushed towards Renault and raised his huge fist, pounding towards him.
"DIE!!!"
However, Renault just calmly raised his hands and blocked in front of him.
"Boom!"
The two sides collided, and the huge impact spread out in all directions. When everyone thought Renault would be knocked away, he remained motionless. Not to mention Renault's Quirk, just the strength he trained himself and the amplification of Joker Memory Slot for melee ability and strength, Renault could easily resist the opponent's fist.
Looking up, Renault looked at the bull-headed giant with a surprised face and said, "Big guy, your strength is not enough." After speaking, he grabbed the opponent's wrist with both hands and pulled back forcefully.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"AAAHHH!!!" With a strange twist of his wrists, the strong man screamed and knelt down, looking at his hands in horror.
"My hands, my hands are broken!"
Renault didn't care about the guy's howling, and at that moment, he rushed out and plunged into the crowd.
Without using Vector Manipulation, Renault relied solely on his melee skills and strength to quickly knock down each villain one by one. It was fortunate that there were no villains present who were immune to physical damage, otherwise, Renault would have had to use his Quirk.
Two minutes later, everyone on the scene was lying unconscious. Renault didn't kill anyone, he only knocked them out because he wanted to be a hero, not a murderer. The task of judging them was left to the police.
After checking the cash, weapons, and drugs these people had on hand, Renault took the money and then took out the prepared rope to tie up all these people before leaving the warehouse. This money would help him, a person with little savings.
Ten minutes later, the police arrived because some anonymous reported the incident. They were stunned to see the injured and tied-up gangsters on the ground.
In a corner outside the warehouse, League of Villains' Kurogiri appeared with Shigaraki Tomura by his side.
"What should we do? Our planned source of funds was taken away by someone else. We don't know their identity, only that they used melee combat to take care of everyone," said a gloomy-faced Shigaraki Tomura.
"That armor seems to be a kind of support equipment, but no hero has used it before. Was it developed privately? Also, we're not sure what Quirk that person had."
"Let's go, we'll just take everything we planned to get next month. It's all ours now," Shigaraki Tomura said.
As the League of Villains, even without counting their lower-level lackeys, they had many members at the middle and upper levels. Even as villains, they still needed operating funds and had to eat. Robbing banks were too easy to attract Pro Heroes and expose themselves, so Shigaraki Tomura aimed their activities at the gangsters in darkness.
Today, things didn't go as planned. The originally reserved target was taken by a mysterious person in black armor who appeared out of nowhere. This really infuriated Shigaraki Tomura, who could only move on to the next target.
After returning home, Renault put the billions of yen in cash into the safe in his room, preparing to deposit it in the bank the next day. Seeing that it was already 1 AM, Renault quickly took a shower and went to bed. He still had to go to school the next day.
This was how Renault spent his days, going to school during the day, and robbing the rich to help the poor at night. Life was quite fulfilling for him.
On Friday morning, when Renault arrived at school, he heard Mineta Minoru talking with a few other boys about something.
"Do you know? Recently, a mysterious and unnamed hero has been appearing at night, striking at the forces of the underworld!"
"Oh! I saw the news last night. It's said that this hero wears black mysterious armor, and he single-handedly took down dozens of villains using only close combat. What's his name again? Hmm... Clown?"
"No! It's called Joker, the Trump Card!"
After Mineta Minoru refuted them, he looked at Iida Tenya and asked, "Class president, isn't your family a hero family? Do you know any news?"
Shaking his head, Iida Tenya replied, "I asked my family, but they have no information. That person seems to have appeared out of nowhere. It's said that the Hero Association is investigating. However, it is certain that the person does not have a hero license. Such behavior, even if it is a righteous act, is not appropriate and will only cause a bad influence. Everyone, please do not follow that person's conduct!"
As he spoke, Iida Tenya became serious again.
Sitting in his seat, Renault just smiled and did not refute. Fighting crime was just a side job for him. He just wanted to train himself, whether it was appropriate or not, he didn't care. He was never a person who followed the rules, but he would never stand on the side of evil.
